First your going to need to resample your tracks/sequences/song into a .wav file. I don't have the mpc 500 anymore so I can't help you with that process, but you will find the method for doing this in your manual or you can post a thread asking the users here how to resample your tracks/sequences/song. When you resample your music it becomes a .wav file, transfer the .wav to your PC and then use a program like Audacity(free) to convert the .wav into an .mp3 file. I use a program called mp3 maker...but like I said Audacity is a free program but you'll need to install the libmp3lame folder(which you'll have to download from the Audacity web page) to install the mp3 converter in Audacity if that is to complex for you, you may want to just google the term "free mp3 converter" and see what comes up. Audacity is also a pretty nice Wav editor/recorder for the price , you can download it at the following link. :D

That'll be my vid then ;)

You can do it that way, or as Uptight says, resample it back on to a new track but this will be memory dependent.

Yeah that's true.....I haven't seen the vid and the easiest way for you just might be recording directly to the PC. Good luck :D
