Re: wave to MP 3 conversion problem
when you save a file in a format other than what you started with it will ask this question. Unless you need to do more work with the original file then you can say yes to listen to your final changes or no and keep the original in the work space to either save as is to work on later. - Original Message - From: Vinny Samarco vin...@hughes.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2011 10:58 PM Subject: Re: wave to MP 3 conversion problem Howard, What does it mean when goldwave asks if you want to update the file in a new window? and Why should you say yes or no?

Re: wave to MP 3 conversion problem
To update the file in the open window (I think) means it will close the .wav file and open the .mp3 (or whatever format you are converting to) file. Further editing would then be done to the new file instead of the old .wav file. This is a guess because I've never done it. I just say no and do a close/open manually.

Hi Matthew, WinLame won't do what he would like to do.

Hi, For now I gave up on the project. I set a physical to record in MP 3 and will dump that to a computer to separate individual files from the long file and make a data disk.
