Hi, I have a 4th generation Ipod that I use for voice recordings. After copying the wav file off the Ipod, I tried converting it to mp3 using lame (on Linux)
parimi-lx2/tmp:#file recording.wav recording.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 8000 Hz parimi-lx2/tmp:#lame -h recording.wav recording.mp3 LAME version 3.96.1 (http://lame.sourceforge.net/) CPU features: MMX (ASM used), SSE, SSE2 Using polyphase lowpass filter, transition band: 3000 Hz - 3097 Hz Encoding recording.wav to recording.mp3 Encoding as 8 kHz 8 kbps single-ch MPEG-2.5 Layer III (16x) qval=2 Frame | CPU time/estim | REAL time/estim | play/CPU | ETA 5437/5440 (100%)| 0:03/ 0:03| 0:03/ 0:03| 114.13x| 0:00 average: 8.0 kbps ReplayGain: -7.5dB However, when I run file on the mp3, it reports that the mp3 is just data and not an "mp3 file". parimi-lx2/tmp:#file recording.mp3 recording.mp3: data There is quite some noise when I play the mp3 (although the wav file is pretty good). Can someone show me how to get a better quality mp3 with the wav file?
