Guest critter333294 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'm having a problem with wavepad. It wont allow me to save my files. Once I get to window for saving mp3's and choosing the bitrate, encoding, etc. it just gives me a message saying "Unable to create file for saving". Does anyone know what's up or why it wont let me save, and anything I can do about this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Yeah, because when I had wavepad before, I saved a bunch of things in that folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raphael Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 So does anyone else have any suggestions for me? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you using "/" or other unauthorized signs in the file name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest critter333294 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 No. The filename would be something like "blackeyedpeasmyhumps" with no punctuation, spaces, or anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry4dos Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Will it "save" into a different (empty) folder, or as a WAV file? Will it save with a short file name (DOS style = 8.3, just to be safe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 It does allow me to save as a wav file, but i'd prefer mp3, and i'm not sure what the equivalent of the setting for an mp3 file would be with a wav file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Were you EVER able to save in MP3 format? That is, is this a NEW problem, or have you NEVER been able to save in MP3 format? If the later, have you downloaded the WAV-to-MP3 converter? Usually the first time you try to save in MP3 format, you are prompted to download the free converter, which then installs itself, and you never have to install it again. You can manually download the installer from here: http://www.nch.com.au/components/mp3el.exe Just download it to your desktop, and double-click on it. It will find your WavePad folder and install the needed components. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a new problem for me, but i'll try the installer and see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
