Hi Frank, this is a bug in audacity - it gets the file extension wrong. A work around is to include the file extension in the file name edit box, that is, type in a file name such as fred.wav, rather than just fred.
David. original message: Hi all, I am trying to convert a 16 bit .wav file to 8 bit 8000hz pcm using Audacity for Windows and am running into a problem. Here are the steps I take: a. Open the file in Audacity for Windows b. Under Tracks I resample to 8000hz c. Under File I select Export and in the save as drop down I pick "other" d. I tab to file typw and set it to .waV e. I tab again to encoding and set it to unsigned 8 bit f. I give it a name and save it The problem I am having is that it always saves in .aif format no matter what I have it set to. It is as if it is not reading the setting in the format drop down correctly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank
