Dose WAV files really reduces the playback ti

zen micro just has 2 mins of anti-shock time, and depends on the bitrate of music...
It's so bad that no player support the APE files(perfect sound quality and half the size)

Zericho: There's no such thing as "anti-shock" time on a hard disk based MP3 player. See here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.
WAV files will run the hard disk almost constantly, so dramatically reduce the battery time. From tests I remember on the NJB3, it was approximately 20-30% that of a 28 kbit/s MP3 file.
WAV files also have other problems in that they have no tagging system, although using MediaSource you can associate tags with them for transfer.
WMA lossless support has been on the wishlist for a while.
FLAC is a more common lossless format supported by the Rio Karma, and perhaps other players. I think the iPod has a lossless format also. I've still heard some people say that both a lossless file and a "decompressed" lossless file sound different from the original. Of course there's others that say you can't hear the difference between a 320kbit/s LAME encoded MP3 and the original file...

  • Need to launch specific document and wave file based on the inbound Route Point

    I am having issues using CDA in terms of creating the appropriate WF to launch both a wave file and specific Word document based on the inbound DNIS.  I have UCCX 8.0(2) SU3 enhanced so I can't use HTTP.  I really need a solution today.  Thanks.

    I did script to play the file to the agent as a whisper then hang up and ring the line again to connect the caller to the agent but the customer didn't like that at all so i just created the WF to launch from the same filepath on all machines to point the the appropriate wave files based on the DNIS.  Because the customer has enhanced I'm not launching the Word docs as PDFs in a integrated browser like I'd prefer but as an external application.  Again, based on the DNIS. 

  • Placing 24/192 WAV files on iTunes for playback through Wadia 170 iTranspor

    I record live music on a Sound Devices 722 digital audio recorder at 24/192 as WAV files. I can import the 24/192 WAV file into iTunes on a Mac and the bit rate is displayed as 9216 kps. This makes sense since 24x192=9216. When I click on the song in iTunes it plays back at the correct tempo.
    I bought a Wadia 170 iTransport since it says it will output bit perfect digital files. I'd love to hear my recordings this way over my sound system. I understand that this would chew up drive space real fast on an iPod. However . . .
    I can't get my iPod to accept the 9216 kps song files. I went to set iTunes / Preferences / Advanced / Importing to WAV but the options for sample rate only go up to 48.0 kps and the bit rate up to 16-bit.
    Any thoughts or suggestions on how to overcome this will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
    The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
    Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
    Anyway, thank you,
    Chris

  • I have installed quick time plugin version 7.6.9 but I still unable to listen to the wav file playing on the pop up window.

    I clicked on a prelisten icon on a music website to listen to a song (wav file). There is a pop up window but I cannot see the song is being played. I have installed quicktime plugin 7.6.9 and using firefox 4.0.1.
    Please advise.

    '''.wav''' is a Microsoft format and therefore configured to play with Windows Media Player by default.
    Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Applications and check to see which player is configured to play .wav files at the moment. See [[Managing file types]]

  • HT1473 In iTunes 11 is it possible to import WAV files whilst at the same time converting them to AAC?

    I've searched high and low and cannot for the life of me answer my own question. There are plenty of obsolete references to holding down option keys and clicking on something advanced but it's long deceased. iTunes is a monster! Help!
    I've been rippng my vinyl and converting the tracks to WAV outside of iTunes. Now I want to bring them in to iTunes but in AAC and without bringing in the WAV files at the same time.
    Thanks

    iTunes can only convert tracks that are already part of the library (or WMA on import into iTunes for Windows).
    tt2 - don't recall if you know this but it's possible to add/convert in a single step prior to iTunes 11.
    I don't know about iTunes 11. I'll have a look later today.
    In iTunes prior to 11, Option (Mac) Shift (Windows), iTunes menu Advanced > Convert {whatever is set in Import settings}

  • Merge Two WAV File then play the result

    Hi All,
    I'm new In MM, I path for two wav file I want to merge them then play the result,
    anyone can help me asap?
    Thanks in Advance,

    You could do this in FCE by putting stills of your slides on V1 and speaker notes on V2 and adjusting their sizes so that each fills an appropriate portion of the screen. Then export the whole thing as a QuickTime movie which a viewer can start/pause/stop in QuickTime Player. It's not as elegant as what you envision, but I think this approach would work.

  • Editing wave-files created on the Zen Mi

    I read on http://www.radioandtelly.co.uk/zenmicro.html that files created on the Micro using the built-in microphone are sampled at 64kpbs, 4 bit, my recordings appear to be sampled at 256 kbps and a unknown bit rate. However, these files cannot be edited using Wavelab or Steinberg Clean, as the require a bit rate of at least 6 bit.
    How do you guys edit these files, what tools are you using?

    For me they're described by Windows as 64kbit/s, 4 bit, channel, 6Hz, IMA ADPCM.
    The freeware Audacity can open and edit them.

  • Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

    My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
    There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
    The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
    If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
    If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
    That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
    Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.
    Why is my word and PDF files so large?
    How can I reduce the size of the word and PDF files? (without reducing the photo quality).
    Are there any tools to post process the Word or PDF files to reduce the file size?

    You can't, extra size is to hold the details

  • Want to replace Wav Files with Apple Lossless in the same folder...Scripts?

    Hello!
    I have about 4,000 wav files (wow) that I digitized from Vinyl. I organize my media folder myself (I have the organize option unchecked in preferences) and most of the songs are not properly tagged. I would love to convert the wav files to apple lossless and have Itunes save the file in the same folder from where it originated. I havent found a way to do this yet. Its weird to me that I can select a song in a playlist and hit "Show in Finder" and it knows exactly where it is yet when I convert files to apple lossless they end up in the "unknown artist-unknown album" folder. Anyone have any ideas or is there any scripts that can do this for me ? thanks so much!!
    I had found one script that deletes the original wav files but still the new apple lossless are still put in the unknown album folder.....
    Zeke

    When iTunes converts a file, it does not allow you to direct the location of the output file, but rather places it according to the Artist/Album tags, which in your case are unknown.
    Almost every other conversion tool allows you to direct the location of the output. There are not a huge choice that run on the Mac and support Apple Lossless, but a good one is Max.

  • I have just installed Itunes 11.0.   When itunes creates a *.AAC file, does it put it in the same directory as where my .wav files are located?

    I have an iPod Touch 64gb.  I have 149 gb of  .wav or similar format music.  I have created a music library with the latter. How can I convert this library
    into  .AAC format so that the syncing process will be seamless?  Should I create a new folder for the .wav files and put the .AAC files into
    a subfolder in the itunesmedia folder?  If so,  how do I get  itunes to put these files in that folder?
    Thanks.

  • How to overwrite the header part of a wave file?????

    I need to overwirte the header part of a wave file. Any one has ideas or similar experiences?
    basically, I want to continousely save wave data from a sound card. At the end of my program, I need to write the data size of the final wave file to the header part of the wave file.
    Is there a function to replace the content of a file? Thanks

    I assume that what you want to do is add documentation into the header of the wav file such as the media type, location, equipment used .....
    Some one may have written some routines to do this in Labview, unfortunately all the ones I have are written in Visual Basic, quite a long time ago.
    Here are some pointers in the event that no one has any Labview stuff, we could even knock a few togther, if its not been done.
    The WAV file falls into a cateory of Windows files known as RIFF format files, in fact you will see this written into the file header almost at the very front.
    I quote here from the Microsoft Technet Article:-
    See here for a nice picture and here for full details, although for the header structure I prefer here.
    "The basic building block of a RIFF file is a chunk. A chunk is
    a logical unit of multimedia data, such as a single frame in a video
    clip. Each chunk contains the following fields:
    A four-character code specifying the chunk identifier
    A doubleword value specifying the size of the data member in the chunk
    A data field
    Don't be put off by the fact that it often says AVI rather than WAV in the examples, the RIFF format is an extensible file format supporting lots of various media types even custom types. It's just that at the moment people are interested in Video.
    There are standard fourcc codes that exist to hold various specific types of information and if one of these is not suitable you can create your own, there is (well was) even a way to regiser your own special type with Microsoft!!
    There are a couple of ways of doing the job (assuming some kind sole does not donate a VI library).
    1) Handle all the file i/o yourself by reading in the file and then insert the appropriate headers and rewrite the file out again.
        Involved, but cross platform.
    2) Muck about with Windows 'mmio' librarys (mmioCreateChunk).
        Platform specific but possibly more reliable???
    If you select option 1, then what you have to do is read in the appropriate chunk sizes(lengths) contained in the header, insert your appropriate FOURCC code, size(length) and data then adjust the affected 'chunk' size indicators to put all the various size indicators in the correct place, simple ehhh
    If you select option 2, this requires linking to the appropriate DLL, it always my last resort to avoid DLL hell and portability issues.
    As an example I wrote my own Turbo Pascal and later Visual Basic handlers which allowed attachment of lots of information from a form, and then created a special media format for the data to allow storing native measured data. These files are still recognised by WAV file readers today such as Media Player 10. Of course the data format is not understood because the encoding type was special, but that's the point.
    One final point, there was a tool which read in a WAV file displaying all available headers, with C source (Windows 3.X) supplied in the MSDN toolkit. There are probalby other tools available by now, as a last resort If you decide to have a go I can send you my VB alpha version which reads all standard headers, it might write out a few as well (it was a very long time ago).
    Good  luck.

  • E66 .wav file attachment download

    On the E51 and E65 when an email attachment that is a .wav file was downloaded, the phone would allow playback immediately without saving or any other action. On the E66 as with the N95 the file comes up with the attachment but will not allow it to be immediately played. The only way that I have been able to figure out playing the attachemtn is to save it to the phone internally in "sound clips". I must then go to sound clips and play the file from there after downloading and saving. There must be a better wa to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Trung,
    Try disabling plug-ins in Chrome and see if it works, if works you can pin-point out the exact plug-in causing the issue.
    Type this in the chrome browser's address bar: 
    about:plugins
    Reference:
    Chrome: Attachments save as attachment.ashx and a number

  • After opened test wav file on my audition CS6, audio file looks strange.

    Hello,
    Now I'm using Audition CS6 while other my colleges are using CS3.
    Even I checked the audio test file is well opened and played on CS3 with 26s total length, but on my CS6 this test file is reduced to 13s(half) and sound is heared faster twice.
    As for normal wav. file works well, but it's happened my test wav. file. I think there is automatically converted when opening the file. Converting has some problems on my CS6.
    Thanks,
    Alvin

    This sounds like an incorrect setting somewhere in the system for the Sample Rate. Could be to do with some settings for your local computer's audio hardware. Alternatively problems opening files a correct sample rate can sometimes be down to problems with the information stored in the .wav file header telling the software what the sample rate should be. What format, bit depth and sample rate id the Test file stored as?

  • How to better improve the playback efficiency of HD videos on Premiere Pro CC for low-end computers?

    Title explains it all really!
    The playback of selected files on the upper left and right box are glitchy and slow when playing back, which makes it near impossible (or just really frustrating) to properly sync with other video clips and audio.
    On lower-end video editing programs, the solution I made for this was applying Speed Change effect, but not adjusting the speed by keeping it at 100.
    Details of my computer are : AMD E-350 Processor; 1.60 GHz, 3 GB RAM, Windows Vista 64bit
    Thanks in advance

    Win7 64bit will use almost all of your 3Gig of ram to load, leaving almost nothing to run PPro

  • Can my muvo tx fm play WAV fil

    my question is my problem and if it can what ccan i be doing wrong? plz im trying to get a song i really like but it wont show up on my mp3

    well...i used to have an MuVo TX FM, and i know everything about it !! but now it's broken.
    Anyway, it can play mp3, wma and wav files encoded only in a unique way !
    but i don't think it can play wav files except in the recordings folder, but i don't really encourage that you play wav files in it !
    you can convert wav to mp3 by any converter you get, or download, but for faster conversion use the creative mediasource, it's in any cd you get with any creative mp3 player !!!!
    tell me if it works.
    cheer to all !!!!
