So, it turns out the audio recording device I purchased encodes the audio as a WAV file. That didn't strike me as a problem, until today. I tried uploading the audio in Odeo studio. It crapped. I then used Media Encoder to convert it to WMA. Odeo doesn't accept WMA. I then looked for a WAV to MP3 converter. Yikes! Everything sucks. Which means it's time to start a blog entry and piss all over everybody.
- Aare MP3 WAV Converter - converted audio is choppy.
- Alive MP3 WAV Converter - shareware only converts 60% of file. Since conversion is only one step in a multiple step process, I can't really complete the evaluation and make a purchase decision. But the audio was good.
- Ace MP3 Converter - shareware only converts 90%. Audio was good.
- Ease MP3 WAV Creator - sometimes it terminates in the middle of a conversion and sometimes it creates absolute garbage.
- MP3 WAV Studio - i hit convert and it replied done, but I couldn't find the output file.
- Smart WAV MP3 Converter - i hit convert and it replied done, but I couldn't find the output file. The UI was written by somebody who doesn't speak English well.
- Mp3 Wav Converter - audio is horrible.
- Free CD to MP3 Converter - audio has added little background noises in it.
Job done.
I also went to Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Importing and set the Import using to MP3. This time Odeo accepted the upload, but I sounded like a chimpmunk.
