Super Mp3 Wav Converter


Question Posted Saturday April 1 2006, 6:20 pm

I downloaded the Super Mp3 Wav Converter (from www.audioutilities.com) to convert files Wav files that I recorded on my ilo mp3 player from Wav to mp3.

When I do this I plug my mp3 player into the computer with the usb port and open up the Super Mp3 Wav Converter. I got to Wav to mp3, click add, open file ilo, open file voice, click the file I want to convert, then click convert.

A box pops up that says in converting the file, and there are two bars that say 0%. One of the bars fills up to 100%, and then when the first bar finishes another box pops up that says "Invalid pointer operation." And stops the conversion. It does this EVERY time.

What am I suppose to do? My only guess is save the voice files from the mp3 onto the computer, but I dont know how to do that, or where to save them if I even knew how! Please help!!

I have never used that specific audio encoder, but if you would like to try an alternative, I suggest dBPowerAMP. ( [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ) It has never given me conversion issues, and I am very picky about my audio.

To use it (after it's installed), just right click on the file you want to convert, and click "Convert To." From here you can select what audio codec you want to convert to, what bitrate, frequency, where to save, etc. Click "Convert" and you're done. It can decode and encode in any codec you have available, and additional codec packs are readily available if ogg/wave/mp3s don't suit your needs.

i don't know much about super mp3 wav converter, but it kinda sounds like kind of a hokey software, in the sense that it's almost too generic to work well.

try going to download.com and searching for "wav to mp3", and sort by "CNET rating". the ones with most stars are usually the best, but you can read the reviews and see what other people think of them. just make sure you get one that's completely free, because usually the one's that are only free trials only convert like 50% of them or something like that.

if you still can't find something good, there's another round-a-bout way to do it. but if you are dealing with voice recordings, this might be the better option for editing and mixing purposes. go to

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

and download myriad melody assistant. there are hardly any limitations on the trial version (apart from a notice at the beginning that you have to click "ok" on, and an extreme length limit that you almost never hit, that's about it i think). this is one of my favourite programs, i highly recommend it for sound, voice, and music editing.

once you've downloaded and installed it, either go to file>open>ilo mp3 player (as opposed to the default "my myriad documents" or "C:" or "my documents" etc.) and choose in the "files of type" drop-down menu "wave"; or you can go to file>import>"wave windows (*.wav)". click the file you want to open/import and then click "open".

you should see a window pop up that is titles ":<New track>: whateveryerfileiscalled.wav" and below it a blue area with green spikes (the audio). press "ctrl+a" to select all. click "open". you should now have a new myriad document with one track (a digital track). you can play around with cutting and pasting and editing and adding effects if you want (the help documentation and the website usually have pretty good extensive instructions).

to just save the file as an mp3, go to file>export>"Mpeg (*.mp3)". select whether you want it to be stereo or mono, select the sound quality (i.e., 96 kb/s, 122 kb/s, 256 kb/s, etc.), set the volume to 64 (that's the normal default, but i usually set it to somewhere between 80 and 100, especially when i'm dealing with vocal audio), make sure "normalize volume" is selected, and click "save". choose wherever you want to save the file, hit save, wait a few minutes (or seconds, depending on how long the file is), and boom, you're done!

sorry that was a little lengthy. hope this helped. good luck!
