Introduction
============
  NFSU Music Importer is a program that allows you to import your 
  own music into the NFSU engine.

  Before anyone asks, the music track names/artist/producer in the 
  game cannot be easily edited. They are hardcoded into the game 
  executable.

  This program requires that you have a FULL INSTALLATION of the 
  FULL VERSION of NFSU (it will NOT work with the Demo).

Requirements
============
  VB6 Runtimes
   - You most likely have them already. If the program does
     not run or gives an error message about MSVBVM60.DLL, 
     download this from Microsoft's website and install it:
     http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=28337

  EA's ASF Format Converter
   - "MCO Music Importer" is included as a extra zipped file in
     this program's distribution. You can use this for converting
     from MP3/WAV to EA's ASF format.

       directory to output it to.
    4. Modification to the "Song Name" will not change any
       music titles in NFSU -- so it can be left as is.
