DOes anyone know what I have to do to convert them to MP3 and how to post them on my site? Thanks for any help you can provide. Mike |

Dbpoweramp is freeware and easy to use. Right click on the file or files you wish to convert and select MP3 from the dropdown menu. You can save to same file, create a file or save to any other file of your choosing. It is a good idea to take note of where the converted file is deposited. The software is available at http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ |

Bang... instant MP3... Posting them on your site? Well, that's just a matter of uploading them to yer server space, same as you did with the other files that make up you web site... |

I always use 320kbps (??) for music I listen to in my car and it sounds pretty good - at least a Faces Radio One In Concert from 1970 did this morning!!! |

05 Jan 12 - 08:30 PM (#3285533) Subject: RE: Tech: converting .wav to MP3 From: ChrisJBrady One thing - make sure that the resultant MP3 has a decent Kbps. Anything lower than 128Kbps will sound 'muddy'. I have found that 192kbps is just OK, with files of reasonable size. Anything at a higher rate will result in very large files. BTW I use Audacity too, with Lame MP3 encoder. |
