+The file must be copied into the ''plugins'' folder inside the mAirList program directory, e.g. ''C:\Program Files (x86)\mAirList 7.x\plugins'' for mAirList 7.
+Note: Earlier versions of the plugin where named ''generic_stereo_tool.dll''. Later it was changed to ''libStereoTool_32.dll''. mAirList will recognize both names starting with version 7.2.6. For earlier versions, you must rename the DLL to ''generic_stereo_tool.dll''.
 Once you have done so, you restart mAirList and add Stereo Tool into any DSP chain by clicking //Add -> Stereo Tool// in the DSP configuration.
+==== Winamp plugin ====
+Using the Winamp plugin version was the recommended way to use Stereo Tool in mAirList 5.x and below. Just download the plugin from the Stereo Tool website, install it, and add it as a Winamp plugin in mAirList.
+==== VST plugin ====
+This is the least recommended version, as the BASS VST wrapper involved (''bass_vst.dll'') is known to be a bit buggy at times.
+In any case, always use the 32bit plugin, even on a 64bit Windows. (It must match the appplication, and mAirList is a 32bit application.)
+Note that the encoder.ini will grow very large (and saving the config takes a lot of time) when using the VST plugin as all Stereo Tool parameters will be incorporated into mAirList's encoder.ini config file.
