Hello, Basically, what you want to do is start playing your file in Winamp as you normally would, but beforehand, change how Winamp outputs that content.
By default, of course, it merely sends the audio output to your sound card, thus you instantly hear the audio that Winamp is playing. You can, however, tell it to output the playback to a wave or MP3 file instead. Press CTRL+P from within Winamp to open the Preferences dialog box, and expand "Plug-ins" in the tree view. Select Output in the part of the tree under Plugins. Tab twice to the list of currently installed plugins. The one labelled Direct Sound Output is what you normally would use to play a file. What you want to select is the Nulsoft Disk Writer plugin, which will make a wave file from whatever source is being played. Tab and activate the Configure plugin button, to specify the output directory and change other settings for the Nulsoft Disk Writer plugin, then activate OK on that dialog and close the Winamp preferences dialog, and you're all set. More elegantly still, you can install a third-party plugin that will actually do the MP3 conversion right in Winamp. One such plugin is downloadable here: http://out-lame.sourceforge.net/ Cheers Grant On 11/25/07, Victor Gouveia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Folks, > > I tried using GoldWave to convert an OGG file, and received the error that > two or more streams were incompatible, and so could not even open the file > with GoldWave. > > Aside from not knowing what this means, I received a suggestion from > another list that I should convert the file to a Wave format, using Winamp, > then try converting the file to MP3 format, which is what I intended to do > in the first place. > > Can anyone tell me how to go about doing this using Jaws 7 and Winamp 5.35. > I'm > also using Windows XP home, and the Latest Version of GoldWave, version > 5.20. > > Any help would be greatly appreciated. > > Victor > Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: > http://www.jaws-users.com > Address for the list archives: > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] > To post to this group, send email to > [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject > or body of a blank message to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Use the following form in order to contact the management team > http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php > If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the > following address: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
