Converting Music

[Jellybones]

I want to convert my WMA file to an MP3 file so that I can then convert it to an OGG file so that I can put it in one of my levels. I have audicity, but it says it cannot open WMA files due to patent restrictions. So what do I do?

I'm not sure WMA files actually can be changed into MP3 files. Anyway, why not just go directly from WMA to OGG?

I can do that? o.o


Well, I would do that but audicity won't open .WMA files, so I'm not sure how I would do it.

Well, if you can't open it, I can do a good deed and do it for you. Or if you just want it converted to an MP3 so you can do the rest yourself, I can do that for you too.

Yush. I'll pm the music to you, if you want.

If you plan to convert it, either convert directly to MP3, or directly to OGG. If you convert 2 times, I am sure the quality of the song would be a lot worse. I am also wondering if the said song is copyrighted. I don't think songs that are in WMA format are usually free for public use.

I got the song from IGN, a free download. So I think it's alright...?


Django graciously converted the music for me to an OGG, and I've tried to get it to play in my level. For the MAINCFG, if the sound lump is named O_MAPA0M, is the musicslot supposed to A0?

I'm actually not sure, but if it is indeed possible to turn WMA files into MP3, there should be a program out there that also does WMA to OGG.

I use CD to MP3 for my converter needs, though I'm not sure if it has an option to convert WMA files to the other formats.

EDIT: Hurr, I meant to link it: http://www.eusing.com/CDRipper/CDRipper.htm

Nah, the tunes numbers for A0~AZ are 135-145. if you have it set up to play in slot A0, try 'tunes 135'.

Course, I might have read that wrong. if you meant how to get it to play with your wad, you just have to add it and it'll do it when you play the stage that uses that music slot *or* you put in the console command to play the music manually.

XWE just started giving me Error 32's when I attempted to go edit the MAINCFG. Argh, Now I'm gonna have to download Slumped just to see if it'll work.


EDIT: Now Slumped isn't even opening because it says it's missing files.

EDIT AGAIN: XWE is working fine again. =/

 

[Django Urikashima]

Wait, I'm confused. what *exactly* are you trying to do now?

 

[Jellybones]

Make the music play in my level. =P

I got it. Tunes 135 is actually the boss theme in Mystic realm. I checked the SRB2 wiki for the list of extended map numbers. The map number is 100.
