 		iPod help?
No, I'm not asking how to use my new iPod, I can figure that out Razz

What I am wondering, is how do you get the ILB .wav files onto an iPod? I can't seem to get them to show up in iTunes to be transfered over to my iPod. I'm running iTunes on PC, and I've tried everything I can think of.

Can anyone help?

Specifically I'm trying to load the compiled .wavs that I downloaded from the ARGN site. I don't imagine these are any different than the .wavs on humptydumpty.

Thanks!

 		I vaguely remember that the .wav files are really mp3s with the extension renamed. Try changing it to .mp3 and maybe it'll work? I don't use an ipod, but I had to do that to get my Muvo TX to recognize them.

 		I tried it last night, and all you have to do is change the extension and add them to an iTunes playlist.

And now I am enjoying 5 hours of my favorite radio (or telephone) drama on my iPod. Very Happy

 		Somebody needs to kick me for this... how do you change the .wavs to .mp3s....?

I'm so ashamed... and I call myself a geek...

 		followup: it's not Win's fault. The files are already mp3's, just named wav's. Don't be hating on the medium Wink

 		Uhm, well, to clarify:

wav's are completely uncompressed audio that just HAPPENS to be recognizable by MP3 format players because its headers and datastream fit within the bounds of MP3 compression without the compression bit.

If you actually get a convertor that can compress the .wav audio for you into .mp3's, you can have a significantly smaller file size.

Except in this case, where they really WERE already MP3s and already compressed. I think naming them .wav was just to get around some file download filters. (Renaming them to .MP3 and downloading over USB, they played nicely on my N-gage, and enhanced many a dog-walk in the park. I would come to a dead stop on the path and say "holy crap" under my breath, for no reason apparent to an outsider Smile )

Well, to clarify Wink
mp3's are compressed wav's, but there's fundamental differences in the data... a program that only plays wavs I don't believe will play mp3's, but a multi-format program if decent will sense what file type it is and play it as that anyway. It's like renaming a jpg a gif or vice versa, and still working as an image - many programs now ignore file extensions and look for the file format itself to determine what to do.
So all the wav files from ilb are actually mp3's with all the header information. devices that only play mp3's may not play wav's, which is why renaming them back to mp3's makes them work where they may not have before...
