A CODEC (COder/DECoder) provides information about the decoding an
encoding of an audio format and is used by Personal Companion and Import
Manager during the input and conversion stages. Personal Companion or
Import Manager may not be able to import an audio file if the appropriate
CODEC is not installed. In most cases a sound card is also required
in order for Personal Companion and Import Manager to make use of the
installed CODEC.
The following table describes which CODEC is required for each supported
