Ha! I'm actually tempted to avoid posting for a while, as I think this avatar is so hilarious!

They have to be either .ogg or mp3 format. I like the gramaphone packs since they're older songs that sound like they're being played on an old record player..

Good Luck..

That did the trick! Thanks, Gizzmoe!

I'll upload it when I get home tonite.

I also have a WWII era one I made, mixing news broadcasts with music, etc. I'll upload that, too.

Stick with the OggVorbis format....mp3 can give you CTD's in SH3.

Herr Russ · 01-04-07, 02:59 PM

Uploading it to the Uboat sim site where the packs are??

Thanks!!

I just downloaded the Ultimate ... pack and Gizzmoe's fix. All the 150 files are mp3. Do I have to change them all to ogg format before I can play them on my gramophone in GWX?

Yes, that's the best thing to do.
It will take quite a while, though, and will put a big strain on your CPU.
But it's worth the effort.
I have an AMD XP3200+, and it took around 20mins for 150 mp3's, to convert to OGG.

What program do you use to convert the mp3 to ogg?? I didn't see that option in my WMP10..

Thanks!!

I used the PAK Audio Converter (Freeware) from ZDNet.com to convert OGG to MP3. It worked well and handles batch processing.

I use Goldwave www.goldwave.com

It's not free, but the trial period lasts forever.

Thanks!! I'll check out those programs when I get home..
