Aux input 32kHz LAME tagged as 44.1kHz

[fecund]

Whoops, was a sound card problem after all! It was changing the data from 32kHz to 44.1 khz without resampling? something like that.
====

I have some "long-play" DATs that I'm transferring. They're 32 kHz digital recordings. My soundcard can run at 32kHz and take the digital signal in directly, and I can record them just fine. But when I use the Aux Input, conver to mp3 using the built-in LAME, and tell it to do so at 32kHz, the resulting file is tagged as a 44.1 kHz file and plays "sped-up"!

1. is there a utility where I can change the header for the files I have?

2. Please look into this and fix

thanks

LOL! You got me scurrying trying to reproduce this with no luck! :smile2:

I suppose what you need is the ID tag editor. That comes with the Power Pack. Look at Music Converter at the top of the forum and you'll find the Power Pack download at the bottom of that page.

sorry! hazard of owning a fancy digital i/o card with a ton of options... as an aside, the tag editor won't let you change the frequency. Don't know if that's even possible since it's part of each mp3 frame and not the file header or ID3 tag, AFAIK.

as an aside, if you do want to fix a minor bug- the aux input has a menu item "Compression settings" which pops open a window to set compression settings, just like it says. Thing is, those settings seem to get ignored, at least for LAME, it uses whatever was last set from "Record (with Options)" instead.

as another aside, I have the power pack, and in fact the "Rip & Encode at Same Time" feature was my suggestion! It's in the old version of the message forums, wherever that may be... dbPowerAMPs utility is due in part to my persistance on that
