Sound file conversion
I recorded my own voice with Windows Sound Recorder, so created wav
files. When converting the wav files to mp3 files with MediaCoder, an extention, .m-ch, always automatically appears at the end. For instance, the file 'abc' will become 'abc.m-ch'. The whole file name hence becomes 'abc.m-ch.mp3'. When saving wav file, the specification must be: 48.000 kHz. 16 bit, stereo 187 kb/sec Or the quality of my voice will lose. The sound becomes sharper and faster. I wonder what the m-ch extension at the end is. I also like to know how to directly make mp3 or wma files. Thanks. |

There seem to be lots of suggestions for file conversion apps. Dump it and use another one if it is doing strange things.

Do you mean that the pitch and speed increase? Sounds like some different kind of problem. You should be able to record quite listenable speech at a fraction of that sample rate (and mono). I also like to know how to directly make mp3 or wma files. Total Recorder (http://www.highcriteria.com/) will record from any source (including streaming sources) and will save as WAV, WMA, MP3, and several other file types. The price has gone up to US$18, still worth every penny. |

I can't find any way of exporting to WMA from Audacity? Where is that function found? |

I downloaded the audacity, and did some recording. When export the file as MP3, I was asked whether I like to locate lame_enc.dll now? I clicked 'Yes'. But it said 'Could not open MP3 encoding libary!' So I can only export it as wav file, but not mp3. I may have to try another software. It may be hard for other people to figure out what the problem is without looking at my computer. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

It's a free download from many sites, including this one: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dl...shtml?lame_enc Download it, unzip it, place the .dll file anywhere, and when Audacity asks to locate it, just browse to where you put that file. That's all there is to it - then it will save directly to MP3. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
