Technical Help Needed --> wavs and iTunes

[anaerin]

Open a directory in explorer that has a wav file in it, right-click and choose "Open With...". Choose something else (mplayer2, say), and check the "Always open with this application" box.

Thank you soooo much!

The problem is that the wav files are actually mp3s, so iTunes attempts to play them as wavs and screws up. If you change the extension to mp3, they'll work fine in iTunes.

Also, that will help with the problem of burning them to a disk.

Ok thank you all very much for the info.

To add to the fun, the mp3s are set at 24 KHz, which means that if you try and burn them to Cd, they will NOT burn, but will give out noises instead.

I have been doing a project of re-encoding the mp3s over to the correct frequenciies (another trick is to clip out the first 1/4 second, for some wierd header stuph that does things to cd burner software I think), and have been able to get them to CD. right now, all the files up on the ARGn assdembled files take up 3 CDs. I dont have enough hosting, but if I can meet an orange county Beekeeper who wishes to host the entire CD images, I can hapilly hand over a set for that purpose. I figure it takes about an hour each wave to revamp (slow computer).....

the 24 KHz is interesting because the older high standard was 48 Khz, before audio went wild at 96. CDs are at 44.1 KHz, so the numbers get neat at times .....
