(both should be free still...) ----------------------------------- josh Sun Jan 16, 2005 5:30 pm ----------------------------------- odd, worked for me, did you import it, go to save as, then select a different file type to save it as? ----------------------------------- mapleleafs Mon Jan 17, 2005 3:40 pm ----------------------------------- I'm alright now. I've found another program called "iTunes" from Apple I believe that converts the format easily( but very slow ). It can be found here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ Anyways thanks for all help ----------------------------------- rizzix Mon Jan 17, 2005 9:12 pm ----------------------------------- really? didin't know itunes could do that. nycase.. it has a fast mp3-to-m4a converter heh ----------------------------------- Leftover Sun Jan 23, 2005 2:14 am ----------------------------------- Any of those programs will do. A quicker one for mass conversions I would reccoment dBpower AMP. Google it, there's the base program with base conversions, and plugins to expand conversions. It does it reasonably fast on a good computer (entire album in 5 mins on a P3 700). I use it my self, as all other ones I found really do suck, and 1 by 1 is too slow. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Jan 23, 2005 11:53 am ----------------------------------- Interesting, Leftover. I just downloaded it and am liking it. :) What's the best compression for audio files, currently? .ogg? ----------------------------------- Leftover Sun Jan 23, 2005 1:04 pm ----------------------------------- Interesting, Leftover. I just downloaded it and am liking it. :) What's the best compression for audio files, currently? .ogg? Ogg Vorbis would do it, however I loathe that format (my 40gb mp3 player won't... or rather didn't read that format on older firmware). I'm not sure about making them into audio CD's as I haven't made an audio CD in 4 years. But most programs like XMMS or WinAmp will read them no problem. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Jan 23, 2005 2:09 pm ----------------------------------- Teehee, winAMP. I was using that, but now I'm using dBpowerAMP. Hot damn!, it rocks. When I asked about .ogg, I'm mostly asking in terms of compression, not how widely accepted it is. Oh, and I don't have an mp3 player, so I don't mind not being able to play .ogg on them :wink:.
