The BES and WAV file support

I understand with the newest release of BES software - WAV files are now supported - I am trying to understand the implications and applications this can ultimately support. Particularly corporate voicemail if Unified Messaging, where messages are stored on Exchange or Lotus servers are not the storage devices. Looking for ways to push those voicmail messages to the inbox to play as WAV files. Thanks.
Gayenell

hello,
what are you trying to do exactly ? are you asking for a way to tweak your current "Unified Messenging" and make it send you an email with the wav attached ?

Palm WebOS Emulator fails to setup on Virtualbox 3.1

the webos SDK doesn't work under the latest version of VirtualBox (3.1) .
   VirtualBox version not supported.
   Palm webOS Emulator requires a previous version of
   VirtualBox to be installed. Currently supported versions are
   3.0.0 to 3.0.12.
The 1.3.51 SDK worked after upgrading to VirtualBox 3.1, so I imagine this is just a faulty search in "/opt/PalmSDK/0.1/share/jars/webos-emulator.jar".
If this isn't the correct forum for this bug, please let me know where I should submit it.

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.....

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.

Wav files not supported in Froyo

Got the 2.2 update but now my phone won't play wav files. I have Vonage and I kind of like the ability to hear my messages on my phone. Before the update (v2.1) I was able to play messages in .wav format. Any one else having this issue?

Same here. I was surprised none of my Vonage Wav files play, and also PDFs attachment at work does not openable. We need 2.3 !!!!!!

Audio tag not support some .wav files

i use <audio> tag to play .wav files.
it is working right in Chrome and old Firefox,
in firefox 16.0.1, some of these .wav files can not play. error message is: 媒体资源.....无法被解码

It is possible that the .wav files are encoded in an unsupported format: Media resources ..... can not be decoded.
Maybe try to recode the files if you use some kind of compression format.

WAVE audio file support

WAVE files that I imported from a SONY digital dictaphone aren't playing in iTunes. The files play fine in QuickTime and used to play fine in iTunes too. Not sure on which version they stopped working. Now they just skip through almost instantaneously without playing a sound .. even if I re-import them. If I try to convert to MP3 in iTunes, my mac tells me "The disk could not be read from or written to". Answers/clues much appreciated.

I've responded to at least a couple of posts about this issue recently, so you may be able to search for some details quite easily.
Basically, I think that you have WAV files that don't conform to the limited scope of parameters iTunes can handle. To remedy this problem, you can use Audacity to convert the WAVs to WAV format again, but using the following settings:
16 bit fixed point
44.1kHz
Stereo
Now, you can replace the old WAV files in iTunes with the new ones and play and convert them as desired. Please let me know if this helps or not.

Does ipad support wav files?

II'm trying to download a song sent to me. It us on a wav file.

I can't recall if iTunes will play .wav files or not, however when you import that song into your iTunes library, iTunes will convert it if needed to the proper format.

Splitting .wav Files from LPs in WaveStu

Hi,
Does anyone know how to split a large .wav file using Creative WaveStudio? I haven't been able to find out how in the help files or online knowledgebase.
I have a SB Li've! 24-bit and have successfully recorded LPs to .wav files in 96kHz/24-bit resolution (I plan to take advantage of the higher resolution afforded by the DVD specification over normal audio CDs and make music-only DVDs). I've been capturing whole sides of LPs and now need to split the resulting file into tracks.
I can think of two work arounds:
) record one track at a time.
2) make individual tracks from several copies of the large file.
But it would be easier to just be able to split the large file into individual tracks. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

if you only deals with STEREO 24/92 files then wave studio should be able to split them easily.
if you're dealing with multi-channel 24/96 files then I think Goldwave isn't able to process them correctly (it's not indicated it supports multichannel files in the product description).
If you plan to play your records on a PC only, then why you do not compress them with Windows Media codec (lossless for 5./24bit/96kHz, or Professionnal for 7./24bit/96kHz max). You'll be able to fill more your compilations without any hearable audio loss (with the lossless one yes).
Windows media encoder can do this very well, as well as indexing its media formats.

Pre does not play WAV file when received as an attachment via email

I get my office voicemails emailed to me as an attachment but when I click on the attachment it goes to open the file to play but then it says that there was an error playing the file. Do i have to change a setting? Please help. Thank you!

I spoke to palm support they say they are aware of the problem at this time the pre doesn't support the wav file for voice mail . It is very important to me and I have been using this feature on my blackberry and my palm 755p I don't under stand why they would release a phone and not have the needed software for it .

How to view .WAV files

Search for anything on this turned up nothing so would I be correct that it can't be done?
LarryB

WAV is a Microsoft audio file format. There is nothing to view with a WAV file - only something to listen to.
Audio formats supported with the iPad: HE-AAC (V1), AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV.

Album artwork feature for .wav files inexplicably removed from iTunes.

Hello, I was wondering if Apple would please allow us to display artwork in iTunes for albums that contain .wav files. Waves just sound better to me. I remember back in 2004 or so this feature was available in iTunes, nearly a decade ago, but now it has been inexplicably removed. I am not interested in compromising the sound quality of the .wav file by converting them to compressed formats, Apple lossless, or even Apple's rival to the .wav file. Thank you.

I don't think .wav format has ever supported artwork. It is possible (I don't have any wav format files) I guess if it is added to iTunes that iTunes can add artwork for it in its own database, but wav does not support tags or artwork embedding.

Why won't my nano accept alac or wav files when I try to transfer them from my itunes library?

I've ripped my cd collection into itunes in either alac or wav format. Now when I try to add some of these music files to my ipod nano 3rd. gen., they always transfer to the ipod as a aac file. I know that I have to go to preferences and adjust the settings in the pop ups to whichever format I want to make the music files in, and I've done all of this. I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, or if my computer or my 2 ipods are broken somehow. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Check that you don't have this setting checked in the Summary section of iTunes for your iPod:
Otherwise you should be OK - AFAIK all iPod nano models support WAV and Apple Lossless, and a quick test with a 7g nano suggests that syncing a WAV file creates a WAV file on the iPod. If you're seeing something different then some deeper digging may be required ...

Importing wav. files into itunes on MAC OSX

I have a question, hope someone has the answer.
I am a new mac owner, new ipod owner too.
I currently have 200-300 gigabytes of SHN and FLAC files on my PC (mostly grateful dead soundboard recordings).
I am planning on converting these files to WAV. format with "artist", "album" (show date), and "song" ID tags.
I then plan on copying these WAV. files to my imac or separate external hard drive formatted for MAC OSX.
OK THE QUESTION (finally, no?),
When WAV. files are imported into itunes are they automatically converted to the MP4 AAC format?
I have looked in the itune PREFERENCES menu I go to ADVANCED and see that there is a control for switching file formats for importing CD'S but there is no mention of importing WAV. files.
On another note it is too bad that Apple has not come up with a file conversion utility for itunes, where FLAC, SHN, and WAV. files could be converted to MP4AAC, Apple Losless, etc...
I appreciate any answers to my question, and also comments regarding the general subject of audio file conversion on the MAC OSX.
Thanks

Hi,
Firstly, I must point out that WAV doesn't support tagging, so there is no point in converting your compressed FLAC and SHN files to WAV before making the move over to a Mac.
Rather, it would make more sense to use the free and excellent Max to convert all these files automatically to the format of your choice, such as Apple Lossless. You can even run multiple conversions simultaneously, so you could, say, convert your whole lot of files to Apple Lossless while at the same time convert the same lot to AAC for use on your iPod. The program is highly configurable, allowing you to specify destination directories and whether or not the output files are added directly to your iTunes library. Also, the tagging will be preserved when converting FLAC and SHN files to supported formats.

Artwork for WAV files?

Does anyone know how to import album artwork into iTunes for a WAV file. Nothing happens after bringing in the artwork. Can it be done?

@Dj_AmTraX: good tip!
I tried to first load my music as apple lossless and added the artwork (via get info, artwork, add) then loaded all the music a second time additionally in the WAV file format. The album artwork then appeared in iTunes for all the WAV files too. So one could say yes, it can be done but apparently on iTunes only with a bit of extra work and the restriction of needing to have the music stored in two different formats.
It is a pity that Apple's iTunes doesn't support linking WAV files to artwork jpgs as standard.
The more mp3-like the product the less likely they seem inclined to offer good functionality for the (hi-fi, bulkier) WAV format. Now storage is so less expensive they should maybe re-think? I find high-resolution audio files so much better on a good hi-fi system ;-)
@any_WAV_enthusiast: Who has found the method above to work for them?
Maybe someone now knows a quicker or easier method to get artwork shown for WAV files in iTunes / on i-devices?
