conversion problems

Post by The Impaler »

OK, so maybe someone can help me out. I just did a recital, and have the audio files on my computer in both mp3 and wav formats. None of my email clients will allow me to email most of the files, esp. the ones over 5MB in size, and I tried to upload them to acid planet, but without success. Evidently they must be uploaded in a Windows Media format, but I am unable to convert my mp3s to wmas. If anyone could please help me out with some info, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

If you have the original CD, windows media player can rip the tracks to wma files.

Put the WAV files on a CD? WAV is the format most CD tools expect music tracks in.

Not sure why you are having trouble emailing them. What errors do you get? What mail tools are you using? What ISP are you sending through? Does it limit you outgoing mail size? Or is the recipient bouncing it due to size?

Amother option is using an archiving tool (like WinZip or WinRAR) to split the files into smaller peices that are assembled by the recipient. This was common when 720K and 1.44M floppies were used a lot. The tools still support it.
