Flac to MP3 - horrible sound!

[punkysmama]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help. I'm going to try to describe the problem, but it's a bit difficult.

I'm brand new at this and converted my first flac to mp3 file last night. After it converted and I tried listening in Windows Media Player, it was really, really, really slow like it was being played in slow motion. It's almost like a warped sound. Could it be something I had set incorrectly?

Thank you!

Check the frequency of both your FLAC file and the MP3 file. This is done easily by right-clicking on the file and clicking "Edit Tag". The frequency and other information is at the bottom of the resultant window.

Try converting to wave, does that play ok?

Thanks for the advice. Can you tell me....what am I looking for with the frequency?

I don't think I tried the wav. I'll have to take a look at these things tonight when I get a chance.

Thanks again!

Normally someting Hz, most of the time either 44100Hz, 48000Hz or the shortened 44.1KHz and 48KHz.
