Jordan_USN Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Hi All, I find it more rewarding to start creating my own sequences than purchasing them. However, as a newbie I have lots to learn. I have been reading and more reading.. Including watching the videos. Nonetheless, I have run into a snag. I have bought music off of Amazon and it shows to be in MP3 format. However, when I create a new sequence and import the media file it gives me a warning and tells me that the file can not be converted to the internal LOR format. I tried to ignore but not having the wave form and the play speed errors don't work and is making this difficult. I have searched online, help in sequence editor and google but it is mainly about putting it in MP3 format and nothing about addressing the issue I am getting. I am sure I am missing something. Thanks in advance for your help. Edited December 7, 2014 by Jordan_USN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caniac Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 audacity converts to and from mp3 and .wav plus its free. Amazon mp3 should work but you either have to put it in the audio folder or specify where it is to the sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmacw Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 not sure why the sequence editor doesn't convert it? could it be an MP3 that's higher than 128bit? try saving file as 128bit or lower and see it that works or download the free version of Audacity and save the file as a WAV and see if it works that way...

Jordan_USN Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Downloaded audacity and exported as both WAV and MP3 with the same warning message that it can not convert to the internal media file. I have also tried other songs with the same error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_USN Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) bit rate is 293kbps Edited December 8, 2014 by Jordan_USN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_USN Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 This is happening on all songs I try to open creating a new sequence. Even songs I have already used on sequences I bought on ebay. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmacw Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hmm, see this link on MP3s on LOR site. http://www1.lightorama.com/PDF/Audacity_Lame_128KbpsRevA.pdf It tells how MP3 should be 128bit. Try this and worse case maybe re-Install LOR and see if it corrects the problem. I remember a year or two back someone else had this same error and I believe it was the bit rate but I could be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_USN Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thank you. I checked and resaved all files as constant 128 with no joy. Going to reinstall I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
