What does this mean and how do I fix it?

[xoas]

You cannot create mp3 files without either a registered version of dMC (meaning paying for either the basic version with the Power Pack and mp3 encoder license or paying for the Reference version) or an unexpired trial version of dMC (which includes the Power Pack and mp3 encoder license). It sounds like your trial expired. The program will remain functional for all other formats except you will not be able to use the mp3 encoder unless you register for one of the 2 registered versions I mentionned. See the Registration tab on the top of this page for further details.

Best wishes,
