I have a voice recorder on an MP3 player which records in 32K .wav, 8K .act,
32K .vor, 8K .vor. I purchased this because I was told that .wav was
universal and could be copied to my computer and burned to CD to be played on
my CD player. I need to transfer recorded 32K .wav files to audio CD. WMP
will play 32K .wav files but says "may not fit" and since the 8 songs I wish
to burn are maybe 30 minutes of music, I figured they should fit. So I
pressed start burn. WMP then tells me that "an error occurred!". I also
have CD & DVD Maker Gold which tells me that it doesn't support 32K .wav
files - only 16K .wav files.

Can someone help with a solution either to change 32K .wav to 16K .wav for a
struggling student?

Hello!!! I have solved your problems, lol, I hope. Ok, so from what I take it
you're trying to burn your voice recorder files onto a cd at 32 or 16k sample
rate... well this won't work if you're planing on listening through an
ordinary CD player, as you have already found out, what a regular cd player
requires is 44.1k sample rate at 16 bit resolution. Now with that said, how
do you get your 32k sample rate to 44.1 without having to download another
program that may just be too complicated for the average user? Quite simple.

I discovered something that is actually pretty cool that I didn't know
windows had, when trying to solve your problem. What you first need to do is
load windows "sound recorder" this is located: in start/all
programs/accessories/entertainment/sound recorder. Now assuming you know
where your files are saved on your computer, go to the "file" menu on sound
recorder, and open the file(s) (you can only do one at a time) you want to
put onto a CD. Once the file is loaded, you can double check that you loaded
the correct file by pressing play (I know, that was obvious...).

Now again in the file menu, go to "properties" this time. In the new window
that will appear, go to "convert now...". Another window will appear. Where
it says "Name:" change this to "CD quality", you'll notice that in the
attributes section this changes to 44.1kHz, 16 bit, stereo. Click Ok, the
file should then convert. When you go to close the program it should ask you
if you would like to save it, of course, click yes. Name the file to what you
want and choose a location to save this file.

Then with the burning program you were using before, instead of burning with
the files that you had from your voice recorder, burn the files that you just
converted to 44.1kHz, etc. and this should work perfectly! However I don't
know how good the quality of the converter is, but considering the audio is
coming from a voice recorder microphone, I don't think it can get much worse.
And you probably won't be able to tell the difference.

Let me know how this works out for you, I wish you the best of luck! I will
say this!! Because you are converting your wav. files to a higher quality
sample rate and bit depth for CD burning, this will take up more place on
your computers hard drive. I suggest you create a new folder where you store
all your converted files and then delete them when you have burned them to a
CD and have verified that they work, otherwise you may find yourself running
out of hard drive space, just a tip that you may want to consider. Good luck!
:-)

Mike

ps: I know this is kind of long, let me know if you don't understand.

Thank you SOOOOO MUCH!!! I've been searching everywhere for an answer. The
sound quality isn't wonderful, but I only need backing tracks to sing to (I'm
an amature classical singer/student teacher). Why do they provide a
Convertion utility in the recorder and not the player? I would have throught
that the two would sort of share abilities.

Anyway, thanks again, Mike!

PS Your instructions were great!

Thank you! I now have dbpower amp. If it's as good as it sounds, I'll
probably register it.

I have a CD burner and would like to add my voice over the music, as in
Karoke, then burn a new CD. Is this possible and where do I start. Thanks.

Break the problem down thus:
1. Record audio from microphone etc
2. (Optional) - mix it with existing music
3. (Optional) Convert audio file to another format
4. Burn a CD

Programs like Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net) will help you with the
first steps but you can just google for alternates e.g. "recording
software".

I have a music CD. I'd like to "layer" (wrong word) my voice over the music
and burn another CD with both the original music and my voice. Like making a
CD out of Karoke. Does this make sense? I think with your answers it would
be numbers 1,2 and 4 below. This is my first post and I'm little new at
this. thanks
