Josh Burdick Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I'm trying to convert an audio CD to WAV files. I use both and Mac and PC. I have my music library on my Mac so I selected my songs and burned them as a audio CD. I then put that CD in my PC and I'm trying to use Audacity to convert to WAV files. I keep getting a message that Audacity can't work with that file type. It's been some time since Ive done this so I'm struggling through it.
The Pest Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Why are you trying to go to wav I would suggest MP3
Josh Burdick Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 I've always had good luck with wav in my past shows.
Paul Roberson Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Unless you missed telling us this step...........Sounds like you need to rip the songs off the CD onto your PC first.
Josh Burdick Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 Thanks guys, I'm ripping them as a wav. Just had to go through the motions again. It's been a year since I last did this.
Richard Hamilton Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 The Pest wrote: Why are you trying to go to wav I would suggest MP3My 2 cents worth... since having so many problems in the past by trying to edit files with MP3 being out of sync (during editing), I don't trust mp3 for LOR any more. Perhaps that issue has been long fixed and I don't know it, yet, I prefer to stick with a format that I know will work... wav.
TJ Hvasta Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 Going with .wav's you dont have to worry abt them being Variable Bit Rate.. .wav's are all Constant.. no problems with timing shifting.
wallleyes Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 I use mp3...but i also use the mp3 showtime director.
