Do you need your music made into a OGG VORBIS?

If anyone has a midi, wave or mp3 that they want converted so it can be played on your ship's gramophone, let me know or just email it to me. Robert

I think Gold Wave, which is a free download of the trial (which lasts forever but you "only" get 150 commands per session before it starts bugging you to pay for it, but a reload of the program gives you 150 more) converts sound files to OGG I believe. I love Gold Wave.

Goldwave is a nice programme, however, it will not convert midi files.

Doesn't the record player play wav and mp3 as well ?

I had it in the FAQ but they not updated anymore so the disappeared to a page somewhere in the back.

Just checked the FAQ and indeed there are some issues with MP3:

The gramophone starts a song but after 20 seconds or so it skips to the next
Apparently if you use MP3s they have to be CBR rather than VBR. Another way to fix this is use the OGG file format instead of MP3s. There are several freeware/shareware programs out there that will convert MP3s/WAVs to .ogg files

And we all know that WAV files are normally huge so they probably should be avoided too.

I use this one. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm

Release 10 is free, but Release 11 is a 30-day trial.

You can get Release 10 from here. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/bin/dMC-r10.exe

And you also need ogg codec. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/codec-central-ogg.htm
