14MZ music files ?

[Dokey0]

A little stuck here.

Using windows media player, and have it setup to change track to 'WMA' and then save it on to the memory card in the 'WMA' file folder.

I just can not get the music to play back, from the times I have tried to do this, I have had, either nothing come up on the transmitter, or loading files comes up and nothing comes from it.

Where am I going wrong, I expect it is simple but yet I am not capable :arggg:

Thanks for any help, in advance :(

Here is something about music files that Eric posted a few weeks ago.
Maybe this will help.

If you are loading in pictures you need to have them in BMP format and the size should be 168x80 pixels. Music needs to be in WMA format and formatted for lower resolution. Audio files need to be in WAV format.


Maybe your formatting the files in too high a resolution.

I had a similar problem with mine and it turned out that the files were being corrupted by the card reader that is built into my HP printer. When I used an external USB card reader everything was fine. The issue that Eric is refering to about the WMA file is that the unit will either lock up or start running very slow if the WMA file it is trying to play is encoded at a very high bitrate.

I am using a seperate card reader.

Only other setting I could see and not sure if they relate to it, are:-

WMA (using this at the moment)
WMA variable bit rate
WMA losses

Should I be looking esle where ?

This file should play.

You need to convert to WMA version 9. Also the higher the resolution, the slower things will work. Make sure you are not loading in WAV files as music, as that will not work.

I use DBPowerAMP (http://www.download.com/dBpowerAmp-Music-Converter/3000-2140-10042534.html?part=dl-dBpowerAm&subj=dl&tag=button)

It is a free download and allows you to convert to lower resolutions. I think I am using like 16K or something and the files are very small.

Cheers Eric, worked a treat :noteworthy

:mrgreen:

[EricLarson]

Cool!

I had a bit of trouble getting mine to work at first also. Lots of new stuff, and the instructions are not very good. Anyway, I am glad that is working now.

So I have downloaded the DBPowerAMP and have converted the file to 16K
I am not sure what to use on the HZ I just left it the same 8000,
But when I go the the Jukebox icon it does not show the file
Is there some thing else I need to do?

What file are you saving it to on the card ?

I used 16kbps 22 kHz mono, seemed to come out fine on mine.

I put it in the wma file.
Is that were I should?
