    Error converting WAV to MP3

    I just purchased this product today and the first time I tried to use it, I get this error:

    Error converting to mp3 (Lame), 'C:\Documents and Settings\Lisa Wells\Desktop\sswg-070517.wav' to 'C:\Documents and Settings\Lisa Wells\Desktop\sswg-070517.mp3'
    Error Cannot Create Wave Decoder (CCITT u-Law)? [clWaveDecoder::PrepareToDecodeAudio]

    I'm trying to convert a WAV file to MP3. The WAV file was downloaded from freeconferencecall.com recording. They do not have any info on their website about codecs and I have no idea what I need to download in order to get this to work? Any suggestions?

    The file might be corrupted, try playing it in Windows Media Player.

      It plays fine. I can convert other files, just not the ones I download from freeconferencecall.com.

                Make sure you re using R12.3 (beta) I am sure this issue was fixed.

                  I'm also having the same problem, I tried 12.2 and 12.3 but both did not work. Do you know a solution for this ?

                  Thanks

                            From what I can see, the windows ACM decoder is not able to decode those files, WMP will use a built in ccitt codec, not ACM.

                            In XP open the sound recorder program and try opening the same file to play (I think XP sound recorder can do this, vistas cannot).

                              Yes the file opens and plays in XP sound recorder.

                              I need the solution to be able to directly convert the wav file to mp3 from dbpoweramp 12.2.

                              dbpoweramp 11.5 can make the conversion without the error
