what is your email address? I don't think I got an email from you....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I sent you two emails on the 18th September 2005

I don't put my email address in public forums because everytime I do I get spammed something rotten. I have learned the hard way.

I will email you again.

I did email you but I wonder whether you received it - I am quite prepared to assist. In the meantime the problem persists

what sort of wave settings are you using? PCM 44100Hz stereo? or something else?

 

we have had a couple of reports about this issue, but so far cannot get anyone to reliably tell us how to reproduce it, so we cannot get it to fail on our end as a result.

Converting from rm to mp3 - always worked in the past. Using 44 128 kbit.

The program simply now says it is saving the files but doesn't. At the moment I am converting to wav then using audacity to convert to mp3. What extra information can I give you - is there any way of generating a report on what is or what is not happening.

I posted that Switch wasn't saving files - not quite true. I have some rm files which I want to swap to mp3 so I can chop them around a bit.

So I have done a bit of trial and error and come up with the following

Switch will convert rm files to wav and save them.

It will convert them to mp3, say that it is saving them, then does nothing.

It will take the wav file and say it is saving them to mp3 format and again does nothing.

So is the problem with the mp3 format?

Any solutions please?

Thanks for the attention paid to the problem - v1.05 has the amendment and I can say it works great. Happy bunny here!!

ok, mono -> stereo converting is not a bug, but stereo -> mono is a bug, and has been fixed.

 

That's great - is it now in the version 1.4 or is there an upgrade due shortly?

 

Thanks for the attention paid to this matter.

 

Tried converting RM to WAV and then converting the WAV file to MP3 - guess what - stereo.

So while the problem is being resolved, it can be done as a two stage process - cumbersome but still a lot faster than dbpoweramp.

I have tried setting the conversion to 256 kbps and the file reads "MPEG1.0 layer 3, 256kbps, 44kHz, Mono, CRC"

My setting is 128kbps 44hz stereo

Swift converts to mono - NB dbPoweramp converts to stereo on the same files, but takes all day compared with a couple of minutes on swift
