Hope it too, but I can't be sure about that. Time ago, U-myx was based on Wav format tracks, waht meas excellent sound quality, but very large files and hard to work on old PCs, so they were experimenting with different sound compressors on the latest times...and the sound quality is not good lately...

The only U-Myx I've tried was 'Jetstream' by New Order which randomly but reliably kept crashing my computer... Needless to say, I didn't do much 'myx'ing before getting annoyed.
