nutela Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) I put a lot of work into titeling recorded tracks from the radio and now I see that SS trows all meta info like artist name, song name, album name etc. away when I convert to wav!I use my SE K750i for music now (much quicker, and cheaper :-( ) but the conversion is a pain, especially the renaming part, I installed mp3 rename (nodesoft) and it works like a charm but I'd rather keep what I've entered into the NH1 during recording.Anyone found a SE plug->minijack convertor btw? I'd love to have finally some nice Etymotic in-ear buds!For people wanting to convert their files to AAC (mp4) for listening on their phone / Ipod like I do you can download Nero Digital command line AAC encoder for free, type cmd in start->run put all the wav's from SS in a folder like C:\wav and type: for %i in (dir *.wav) do C:\PATH_to_NeroDigitalAudio\neroAacEnc_SSE2.exe -if C:\WAV_PATH\%i -of C:\WAV_PATH\m4a\%i.m4a or for 2 pass encoding you have to set a target bit rate like 160kbps (it will be vbr around 160kps) like this: for %i in (dir *.wav) do C:\PATH_to_NeroDigitalAudio\neroAacEnc_SSE2.exe -br 1603840 -2pass -if C:\WAV_PATH\%i -of C:\WAV_PATH\m4a\%i.m4aThe 1603840 is because Nero wants us to use bps like this 160kbps=160x1024bps bits per seconds where everybody else uses kilo bits per sec.Any linux fans having uses SS inside VMware inside Linux?Share your knowledge! :-) Edited January 11, 2007 by nutela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roamer Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Thanks for the converting tip !WAV is actually an old format that was not designed to hold complex tags, so the best is the rename the file accordingly, or re-convert to another lossless format that support tags.

nutela Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 WAV Doesn't support tags :-( .. OK any thing SS can do about it? it would be really great if SS could name the WAV to tracknr. - artist - title - album or something!

Other distros will probably follow suit. This means you could have a potential problem connecting the MD (USB device) to your Windows Guest VM unless you compile the kernel with the USBFS option. (Only - currently applies to suse 10.2).BTW the new flash players from Sony (NWS706F 4GB) play Atrac at various bit rates (of course) HE-AAC, MP3 and Atrac Lossless so this might be a better option for a player. ATrac lossless keeps your tags and you also have Uncompressed music in a reasonably lossless compression format which you can convert to other formats later if you need to.Cheers-K Edited January 15, 2007 by 1kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
