Audio File Plater

[Tex-Hogger]

Sorry can't type: Should be Audio file PLAYER

The music player won't play .wma file, correct?

Before you all flame me and tell me to convert all my music files from .wma to .mp3 how about adding .wma to the player? I don't want to re-rip all the CDs I have to .mp3, it took me 3 days to get them riped, and put on my server.

Thanks,

Tex-Hogger

wma is BAD and EVIL take the time and rip them in a proper format like ogg flac or mp3, cdex is a great opensource software that allows you to do that.

Agreed, CDex is the best ripper I have yet used. Also, LAME is opensource and has a very extensive list of options. I personally use "--alt-preset 192" for 192Kbps Average Bitrate, but that's just me. . .

If you ripped them yourself with Windows Media Player, you can forget that.

Music you rip with WMP is DRMmed by default and will only play on the PC you ripped it on; you wouldn't even be able play it on the GP2X, even if it supported the format.

Maybe cause it stands for

WINDOWS MEDIA AUDIO



or something

:lol:
I totally agree with you.

(I have an ipod, so I have all my music in mp3 format)

Linux doesn't like wma...

rather then re rip them.. use sound forge to change em to mp3, or ogg. It takes like 20seconds per song..

You can get the trial of sony soundfroge at sony.com i think.

And Drak has just outlined the second of the three great evils. Sony.

Of course nickspoon is now waiting for someone to say:
"Oh great nickspoon, what pray tell, be the third great evil?"

But no one say it...
...oh wait...

 

[aapje89]

...Well what is it???
I would say country music...

 

[nickspoon]

I was going to do a joke about Drak's old sigs, but now I'm not going to, because that wouldn't be nice.
So instead, I'm going to piss off an entire country. Can you guess which one?
It's funny-looking, stripy and smells of garlic. It's also the third great evil.

Zanydoo?

​

Umm... I don't think so...

I ripped 5 CDs to MP3 format using only Windows Media Player and all tracks play perfectly well on my 2x (in fact, I was playing them for some friends at lunch today).

Unless you just mean that WMA ripped via WMP is DRM'd. That, I could understand. But please, if that is what you mean, be more specific the next time you make a post.

 

[God Ginrai]

I'm pretty sure he means WMA.

​

I agree, too. Even though it's been ages since we've seen an update, it's still the best ripper out there. A bit on the slow end, but with alt-preset-standard and a high threshold vbr mp3, the filesize is low and the audio quality is better than excellent.

Is there a port to Linux? I can't sem to wrap my head around 'making' files in Linux. I get errors doing exactly what the readme asks me to do. I guess I just need more practice.

Edit: In KDE (I'm not sure if this is true with GNOME), when I open the CD that's in the drive, there are folders that contain MP3s on the disc that, of course, aren't actually there... That's how I've been getting MP3s off my CDs since I switched.

I'm sorry. Yes I meant WMA.

Shoot me.

MP3 doesn't have a standard DRM format, so there is almost no way you would run into that problem.

I think you can turn off the DRM if you go to Tools<<Options<<Copy Music(Tab) and uncheck "Copy Protect Music". I've never ripped using WMP, so I'm not entirely positive if this is the DRM switch or if that is somewhere else if anywhere at all.
