Converting MP3 To Compressed Wav
Ok I have been using this program for the longest and I love it , its the best yet . I use it to convert Mp3 to compressed wav and or to take a compressed wav and convert to a MP3. All of a sudden ive started getting this error message while converting MP3 to wav (wav to Mp3 still works for now lol ). The codec required to compress could file name could not be opened. It will not let me compress any of my mp3's ?? any clue why all of a sudden this would happen, best of my knowledge i have changed nothing on my computer, I am running windows xp home version.
please let me know if you need any further information
thanks

Re: Converting MP3 To Compressed Wav
Just a thought. There is a Windows Media Player 9 (works with 10 too) codec installer. you can find it at the windows update catalog site
[url]http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp[/url]
I downloaded it myself it is about 824 kb in size. My understanding is that it installs a bunch of codecs so that you will not have to let WMP go online and find codecs on an "as needed basis". It may contain some useful codec I dont know. Let me give you the file name since they did not give this the traditional 8 digit update number.
it is: wm9codecs.exe and it is 824 kb.
the thing i don't know...what has wma got to do with it anyway? I am missing something, but I am giving something, perhaps the harbinger of knowlege will clear things up.

[QUOTE=Spoon]I know there are two versions of this file, but I am not 100% sure where it comes from, if you drop me an email I will send you mine which works fine. [email]dbpoweramp@dbpoweramp.com[/email][/QUOTE]
I'm having the same problem....no mpeg Layer 3 shows up as an option for Wave compression. I tried the LameACM install which did not bring it back. Also installed the latest version of dBpower amp, but that didn't work either. What to do??? What to do???

Re: Converting MP3 To Compressed Wav
Lame acm should be independant of dbpoweramp, try sound recorder as save as to select its compression.
Re: Converting MP3 To Compressed Wav
Spoon,
I appreciate your trying to help me. Unfortunately I have no Sound Recorder option either. I am really stumped here. Any other suggestiions? Please!

Re: Converting MP3 To Compressed Wav
It comes with windows - Start >> Programs >> Accessories
Re: Converting MP3 To Compressed Wav
Great! I found it..... Start >> Programs >> Accessories >> Sound Recorder
But that doesn't give me the mpeg layer 3 option either. Can it be added somehow? I just want to compress my wave files so that they're small enough to attach to email?
Thanks,
Mike
