Very Computer

Hi,

First of all: If there is a better place to ask this question than here,
please feel free to point me to it.

I have a bunch of WAV-Files. I made them from Windows-Audio-Files (WMA)
using some Windows-Utility I found on my other machine.

Now I want to make audio-CDs from those file, but XCDRoast won't accept
them as valid WAVs. It shows them in the list but they have the little
crossed-out-note icon and are ignored when layouting tracks.

I _think_ I got the options right:

  $ file somefile.wav
  somefile.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM,
  16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz

What else might keep XCDRoast from reading those files? Is there a
linux-program that can convert WMA to WAV?

Ciao, MM

"'How do I get my program to act like a daemon' is a good read in this

 the dark side. This matter is left as an exorcize for the reader."

First try to play the wav files you created (e.g 'wavplay file.wav'). If
that works then try to burn them to a CD with plain cdrecord (in case
your XCDRoast is somehow broken), i.e:
cdrecord -v -audio -pad file1.wav file2.wav ...

Hi,

There is no wavplay on my system, but I can play them fine in XMMS.

Will try that. Thank you.
