GWX - how do you add gramophone tracks?

tiger_tim_34 · 01-18-07, 04:59 PM

HUGE apologies if this has been asked, and answered, a gadzillion times before. I just tried dropping a few more .mp3 files into the data/sound/gramophone directory (which is now curiously full of .ogg files??) but the new ones won't play.

Let me guess... I need to discover how to convert .mp3 to .ogg? Erm, ow do I do that then?

Apologies for having the modding know-how of an oxygen-starved bilge rat.

Hi, there are a bucketload of conversion tools out there that will convert your mp3 stuff to OGG files. Personally, I use Acoustica Audio Convertor Pro .. long title but it does the job ! Hope this helps. Cheers.

Just use the search-option...we've had a few topics about this in the past weeks.

johan_d · 01-18-07, 05:59 PM

yeah, get the 150 additional songs..search the forum, a week or two ago.

Starnge, my grammophone plays mp3s. I just copy and drop em over.

tiger_tim_34 · 01-18-07, 06:27 PM

Many thanks, shipmates. Search commencing...

Anyone else enjoyed Stabiz's ease of .mp3 use in /gramophone with GWX? Most envious mate! Still, at least I get to broaden my laughable knowledge of file formats.

It will, but some players complain of skipping or game-freezing when playing MP3 files. OGG files seem the most robust.

I've lost track of how many times I've tried to download that gramophone pack, and each time it's corrupt and can't be opened.

Hi jimbuna

Which one of the 4 did you use to make cd music into ogg
to use on gramophone. Thx in ad vance for all help.

Jimbuna · 01-19-07, 02:11 PM

The music converter...then click on the 'codec central' tab and go to 'popular codecs' and download whatever ones you want (wav,ogg, mp3 etc.)
