WMA Lossless?

• New firmware with RDS and WMA lossless

  in the next version can you include RDS and WMA lossless format support... Also a kind of if possible noise reduction

  Only firmware can not give us RDS.  The FM radio chip currently used in the rocket does not support it.  The cool SlotRadio player has the RDS capability.  Perhaps, in the future, the Sansa support RDS, but it's a hardware problem, at this point.

  It is very nice to be able to identify this cool air currently on the air.  RDS has grown slightly in recent years, as it started with very poor implementation, according to the broadcaster.  We would often inundated with stupid shit like the slogans of the station, raffles and contest presentation texts, the temperature today in Hoboken, NJ and other.

  The extent of the wma lossless, consider that once you do business with "Lossless", it is a question of efficiency of compression, a platform practice coding and decoding smooth at the end of the player.  Oh, and good support for tag.  FLAC works very well and he has the promise to be around as a standard for archiving for years to come.

  WMA has the advantage of being native to Windows Media Player, a platform that is relatively easy to work and convenience in the form of marking.  I have my reservations about a good implementation, see the debacle on WMA Pro for example.  Microsoft may be their own worst enemy, well, well, they are their own worst enemy, because it seems obvious that they cannot just try their own interfaces and fix the quirks.

  Spend a lot of time with the chicken, I can assure you that it is not unlike a gourmet meal with toothpicks.  And throw in one of those new titanium sporks for good measure.

  FLAC supports ID3 tags, is open source and works very well.  For a codec I would use mainly as a reference for the archiving of the original PCM of disc, leaving open to the "nuances" of Microsoft is not simply attractive.  I remember the nonsense to use Microsoft Word for many years and his worrying propensity for lack of reverse compatibility.  Writing reports in the fire service, I had to always remember to save copies of format "rtf" so that computers with different versions of Microsoft Office can read the documents.

• Conversion of Wav and mp3 to WMA lossless?

  Hello.

  I have been using Windows Media Player 11 on XP Home edition 32 bit and Vista Home Premium 32 and 64-bit. I'm not sure is WMP 12 is different from 11. iTunes converts files...

  I can rip cd to mp3, Wav and WMA Lossless. It's ok.

  -How can I convert other audio files or screenshots that I made in mp3, Wav, WMA Lossless etc?

  Windows Media Player 11 software and Zune does not have an option to convert that I see.

  -Is there any software that Microsoft has done or that is third fact which will convert the audio files in WMA Lossless? I would like a good convert.

  I have discs vinyls and video tapes that I've captured and digitized. I can make mp3 and Wav files out of them in Nero 6 and I have a production program. But I wanted a WMAL also.

  Some sites don't sell or offers mp3 or other compressed files, it is important to be able to record audio files.

  Thank you.

  Windows Media Encoder 9 was very useful, I used it
  several times but as you know it is obsolete now.

  Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 can be worth a try.

• The best Format Possible Rip for Audio quality

  I am running Windows XP Professional with Media Player 11. I don't care about the size of the files because I have lots of storage and I don't like using my music on a laptop or device drive. I'm only looking for to get the best possible audio quality, because I want to play with audio equipment high-end. What is the best choice? Audio Windows Media without loss or WAV Lossless? Thank you.

  If you worry as marking, then I would certainly recommend WMA Lossless. WAV very bad support of marking - WMP wrote only WAV files once tags during extraction, and they cannot be changed more thereafter. This can cause problems in the future, for example, when moving the files to another PC. For more information, see http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/WAV.htm . Tim Baets

• flow reducer

  Does anyone have a simple recommendation to reduce the bitrate of a WMA file (without having to cut the WMA on CD & re - rip file)?  I would prefer free (and something I already have loaded would be ideal).  I know that I could cut to CD & re - rip with WMP, but want to avoid wasting a CD.

  Someone gave me an example of WMA file does not play the ClipZip.  I looked at the properties and it is + 800 kbps - WMA lossless so apparently?  I've never tested with high flow rates before & had to look it up in the manual of Zip to find out there was a rate limit.

  Yes this is WMA Lossless if the rate is high. You can convert it with Windows Media Player, I think, or a lot of other software such as foobar2000, dbpoweramp, etc.

• Another Question... Pasted the first album... but does not work properly

  Hello-

  Another question - I stuck my first file (wpa without loss) from the album on my rocket and when I go to him, he travels only (so 1,2,3, etc. and then it again.)  The songs look like they have any length, if that makes sense.  The bottom bar is from 0:00 0:00.  The strange thing is the player will play all music pre-loaded there, and when I tried to copy a song the player on the computer off, he played.  It is therefore not the file of the song itself I guess.

  What I've done wrong? And how to fix it?

  Thank you very much!!  This forum is very useful for a beginner!

  WMA Lossless is not a supported audio format. Which means that it won't work. You will need to re-Ripper in plain ' ol .wma, .mp3, .ogg or .flac format.

• Problem copying of music

  I have a strange problem.  I have 2 albums which won't work on the Clip +.  I ripped out with MS Media Player, and they play well on the computer.  I copied them to the Clip + using Windows Explorer, and when I tried to read them, the Clip + just jump from 1 piece to another without playing them.  I have re-done the copy with the same results.  Then I tried Sync'ing with Media Player and once again, I got the same results.  I had this problem with 1 album previously and found that I had it ripped with the "copy protection" enabled, so I turned it off, and that fixed the problem with this album.  I checked and the "copy protection" is not enabled.

  Anyone has an idea why I see this and how to solve?

  Thank you

  Eric

  FLAC is the way to fly if you want as the huge reference files.  Tapeworm is right, WMA Lossless is not supported, just regular WMA (compressed).

  If you are interested in playing lossless files, I would advise you of FLAC, is free and works very well.

• Lengthwise sawing boards

  I'm willing to bite the bullet and re - rip my CD collection.  Previously, I ripped using Windows Media Player and ripped to WMA Lossless.  That obviously did not work with the Clip +, so I have been re-extraction of individual CD I wanted / needed.

  After reading these forums, I decided to re - rip with Media Monkey and rip in FLAC on my hard drive, then have the MM convert to WMA for use on the Clip (I want to be able to load a lot of different music on the Clip + while I for some mood happens to be in the music).

  So, that being said, I have the following questions...

  1. when the ripping to FLAC, MM give me the ability to set the "Compression level".  By default, this value is "6".  Is it a good setting or a lower setting preferable.  I'm not worried about the amount of disk space that will be used since I can get a good 2 TB drive for<>

  2. WMA is a good format for use on the Clip + with respect to the size and the sound quality?

  3. for the conversion of FLAC to WMA, I have the following and do not know what are the best settings:

  Type of sample rate, bit rate, sample rate and of channels.

  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  EricBr

  You should be able to just WMAL convert Flac, and do not have to re - rip. Then what about the conversion, there are instructions here in the forum if you are looking for how to replace the BLADE limited mp3 encoder in time in Mediamonkey with a perpetual... do it, then convert your flacs with mediamonkey to implementation VBR(variable bitrate) of ~ 192 Kbps. You can use the predefined setting that says "Standard: VBR ~ 192 Kbps - high quality +", this is a good compromise between his ultimate and save space. MediaMonkey can also ReplayGain for you, which does not work with WMA.

• Jason Mraz reading problems

  I am able to load the latest Jason Mraz CD to my rocket, but he won't play.  I try to use a song, album, artist, play everything and nothing.  The screen looks like it is just randomly shuffling through the songs.

  Fired from rocket using Windows Media Player 11... I loaded only 2 other 'cd' so far, but no problem with those.

  Try to go on the set menu and format it. Even if everything will be deleted, you will get a fresh new start. If you can not access the settings, then go to Rhapsody and right-click on Fuze and then click on format. I hope that it will work. BTW I love the music of Jason Mraz.

  Rhapsody? WTF? Maybe I've been connected too long and make me blurry, but I reread the OP and don't see where he mentioned that he was using Rhapsody at all. So, how exactly this suggestion would help me?

  ---------------------------

  What format is the music that you will sit the "rocket" that will not play? Something is wrong if he jumps on what you have loaded on it.

  Since you mentioned Windows Media Player, I'll take a wild here and guess that maybe you're ripping in WMA Lossless?

  If so, it will not work. If you want to extract in the .wma format, although it's no loss only is not supported. The MP3 format is more universal in use. You can change it in WMP in Tools - Options - tab extract.

  If not Lossless, give us some info & details, so we can see if we can help you. No required Rhapsody

• Impossible to rip the CD using WMP 11 in WAV format. Ripping starts but the CD eject and no error message.

  I use Vista and Windows Media Player 11.  I'm trying to rip a CD in WAV format.  I set the extraction options to create the WAV file and write the wav file in the c:\temp\wav folder.  I want to compare the file size and sound quality.  When I insert the CD, the extraction process seems to start (I mean start to turn up), but it stops and the CD is ejected after a second or two.

  I won't have any trouble to create WMA Lossless files.

  I also tried to use Windows 7 and WMP with the same results.  No problem with WMA format but exact same results when you try to create the WAV.

  UPDATE: I tried two different CD extraction before asking this question and got the same result for two CDs.  I just tried a different CD and was a success.

  Any suggestions why some CDs and others not?

  Thanks for responding.  I tried both ' activation automatic ripping ' and initiator ripping manually.  In both scenarios, I checked the "Eject CD after Ripping".  Same results.

  It seems strange that the CD can be the cause of the problem, if I RIP in .wma without problem, but I can't rip in .wav.

• How to extract the same song, several times using different bit rates or formats and store all the digital music files in WMP 12 default on the same HDD music library

  Using Windows Media Player 12 (w/under Windows 7), "can I ripping the same song, several times, using different bitrates & and/or formats and store all the digital music files in the music library by default WMP - 12, on the same hard drive?

  1.) #1 goal: tear up the same song repeatedly, w / "different rates" as a WMA file.

  2.) #2 goal: tear up the same song repeatedly, w / "different rates" as an mp3 file.

  3.) #3 objective: NOT to each subsequent copy (version) of the song, deleted & and/or replaced by the previous version of the song [even].

  4.) question Bottom Line Up Front--> is Windows Media Player 12 (included with the Windows 7 operating system) are able to achieve '#1 objectives; #2; & #3 above?

  5.) details/example: I want to tear the piece "Maria Maria by Carlos Santana" to my laptop as a Windows Media Audio [WMA] file.  In addition, I would like to rip the song 'Maria Maria' three several times with 3 different bitrates in format WMA; and, as an MP3 file.  Therefore, my final result wished (after the extraction process), will take place the four 4 audio files split up as follows: (a) 'Maria Maria by Carlos Santana'--> Format: file WMA; Ripped @128 Kbps bitrate.  (b) ' Maria Maria by Carlos Santana'--> Format: file WMA; Ripped to the "Variable bit rate; (c) ' Maria Maria by Carlos Santana'--> Format: file WMA; Ripped commissioning "Lossless." and (d). 'Maria Maria by Carlos Santana'--> Format: MP3 file. Ripped @256 Kbps bitrate.

  6.) my preference: I do NOT want to rename the file (s). {for example, 'Maria Maria by Carlos Santana' renamed/changed for--> "Maria_Maria_by_Carlos_Santana_128kbps.wma",...} 'Maria_Maria_by_Carlos_Santana_256kbps.mp3 '; etc.}.  In addition, I am not concerned about the additional disk space that will be consumed after multiple copies of the same song with different speeds of transmission and different formats.

  7.) my experience w / Windows Media Player 10 (w / the operating system of Windows XP): using WMP - 10, my goal (s) described above is not a problem at all.  Simply insert the CD purchased by Carlos Santana, containing the song "Maria Maria"... Select the desired Format (WMA; WMA VBR; WMA Lossless; or mp3)... Select the desired flow rate (WMA... 128/160/192kbps_mp3: 128/192/256/320 kbit / s; etc.) ; and click on the "RIP" button to start the copy process on the hard disk of of Carlos Santana's "Maria Maria".  This process (w / WMP-10) would result in having the same song, copied on the hard disk, with levels of quality different "audio" (via the different bit rate settings); regardless of the format (MP3/WMA) which was chosen.

  8.) my experience w / Windows Media Player 11 (w / the operating system of Windows XP): using WMP 11, to described above of my objective (s) could not be reached e-a-s-i-l-y.  The problem with WMP - 11 - in short - which was after the desired selection "Rip settings" tab 'Options' of WMP - 11 (i.e., Format & Bit Rate) and heart-wrenching piece wanted to {'Maria Maria by Carlos Santana'} a moment later/second, WMP11 remove / would crush the previous version of the song [even].  Therefore, the program would NOT allow the user to have multiple copies of the same song on the hard drive of the PC; which obviously restricts a user to have the freedom to choose what level of quality digital audio, they prefer to listen to.

  9.) the ability to have multiple copies [at my descretion] of the same song (on my hard drive) with different bitrates and formats in my music library, is important for me because it has a direct impact on "how I enjoy MY music ', and in what form (audio quality), I choose to listen to my music.  {For example, when I exercise and listening to my camera, digital audio player (Zune), a song ('Maria Maria by Carlos Santana'), will usually be torn off at a lower rate due to the unit of capacity reduction of storage - compared to the storage capacity of notebook PCs/desktop/external hard drives PC.}  However, when I listen to my music through my home cinema or entertainment system (which contains a hard disk dedicated with a large storage capacity), I prefer to load the entertainment system with digital music files that have been ripped to WMA... with the bit being rate-setting is for the: settings "WMA Variable Bit Rate" or "WMA Lossless.

  10.) there you have it.  This is my first post in this forum.  I hope that [detailed] explanations, will be sufficient to encourage these "with knowledge & the hands on experience" using Windows Media Player 12 (as well as with WMP-10/WMP-11 respectively), by providing a [step] "How-to"... "solution to my situation.  It would be highly appreciated.  I'm looking forward-'the solution' - and relevant suggestions & and/or community feedback regarding my request for assistance.

  * Thank 'All' (that would) in advance... For your time & Assistance *.

  Certainly, you can, but I would say that they be in different folders, for your convenience as well as Windows.  You can create one for each debit/format, then you will know who is who.

  In Windows Media Player, on the toolbar, select Tools, Options, Rip, and then select the flow you want first, rip music, then change the folder (higher on the same tab) and rip again... and so on and so forth.

  When you are at home on your home theater, you can use the 320 bitrate folder, when you transfer to the Zune, you can use one of the lower bitrate files (although I personally tear it up to 320 and let the Zune reduce as he wants, even with the iPhone via iTunes, hard drive space is not really a problem here) my server has several hard drives, and I can always add more if and when space is low!

• Files WAV in Windows 7

  I have a small collection of classical music albums that I want to keep as a WAV (torn from a non-commercial CD) files. I find however that Windows does not correctly read the news I manually enter ripping, & call these all unknown artist files, & won't let me edit their properties either. Can someone explain why this is, & even better offer a simple solution to an elder technologically challenged with pretty basic computer.

  Thank you

  HI - unfortunately the properties of file wav is not easily editable in order to have to choose between audio quality or tagging data.

  My solution for this is to have a separate user account "audiophile" (standard) and I keep the wav. format of files. I can access this account of my main account to read the files, so there is no need to change username. You will just need to open a second account if you want to rip music to it. This way the library in your main account does not get messed up with all the stuff 'unknown '.

  Plan B would be to abandon the wav. and using WMA lossless - it depends on how your ears are good! s ' there is a difference, it is minimal, unless you use your pc with high range serious equipment. WMA lossless seems quite well through my Marantz/Mission set-up.

  Let me know if you need further information on any aspect of the present - cordially, Ric.

• Windows Media Player - corrupted library

  Separated from this thread.

  EIS,

  I am running Windows 7, 64-bit home etsur and have Windows Media Player V12.

  I have two big problems with WMP, the first is a library corrupt - I can not add properly

  files to the library.  The other problem is that WMP will not successfully "apply media

  Change information after I used the "Update Album Info" feature for albums that have been properly added. It evokes the

  bar of progression, says it is 100% complete, but there has been no change in the Explorer of W...
   
  As part of an attempt to solve the first problem I tried everything that follows, (not in this)

  ranking).

  Convenience store of the Player library run Media 1.).

  2.) run Media player troubleshooting utility parameters.
  3.) and then, if necessary, run [alt - t], advanced tool, restoration of the library
  4.) remove the WMP to force a complete rebuild - close WMP library database in the start menu

  engine search box type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in Windows explorer which

  seems to remove all files (but not the subfolders). See if that solved the problem.
  5.A) Unload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

  on or off, multimedia, clear features checkbox Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.
  5b.) Reload WMP - control panel programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

  On or off, characteristics of media, select the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  After 2). I thought that the first problem was resolved that 120 new albums ("unknown") have been

  successfully added, but I noticed that there are a few folders that were not added and

  cannot be added manually. Verification of the files that are included with the library management is not helping either. And the second problem persists.

  If you can offer any new help, I would appreciate it.

  Hi Steve, this is certainly the WAV format that's your problem. WAV is generally very bad marking support: WMP only WAV files tags once wrote during extraction, and they is not editable later. For more information, see

  http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/wav.htm

  There is no need to re - tear the relevant albums that you can only convert WAV files to another format using a tool like dBpoweramp. Recommended formats are MP3 or WMA Lossless if you do not want quality loss.
