Acoustica MP3 To Wave Converter PLUS 2.5 - User Guide and FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions - Acoustica MP3 To Wave Converter PLUS

1. Where are my MP3/song files stored?
   You're ready to convert your MP3 and other audio files...but where are they?
   
   You can go to the Window's Start button, followed by "Find", followed by "Files or Folders". Type '*.MP3' without the single quotes and make sure "My Computer" is selected in the "Look In" control. Then press the "Find Now..." button. This will take awhile and scan your hard drive for all your mp3s. Then you just have to right click on the ones you want to convert!
   
   To find other audio file types, search for '*.WAV', or '*.WMA'.
   
   
2. I can't convert WMA files!
   First, make sure you've got the latest version of MP3 to Wave Converter PLUS.
   
   If that's not the problem, your computer may not have Windows Media support installed. Download and install WMA support.
   
   Finally, if you purchased the WMA files from certain commercial sites like Napster, Wal-Mart or MSN Music Downloads, the songs may be copy-protected. Check the music service's web page for information on what you are allowed to do with those copy-protected WMA files.
   
   
3. How do I convert more than one file at a time?
   In the Window's Explorer, select the audio files you want to convert.
   
   You can select the audio files by left clicking and then dragging over the file icons (When you are dragging it shows a big square.). Or you can select the files by holding down the Ctrl key and left clicking on the individual songs you want.
   
   Right click on one of the selected audio files and a menu will appear. Click "Convert to WAV" and the program will start! All the files selected will be queued up.
   
   
4. Are the original files replaced by the converted files?
   No. The audio files that you convert are not deleted. They are kept intact. The converted audio files are stored in the decode directory, which defaults to "C:\Converted Audio Files\".
   
   
5. Can I run it via the command line for batch files, etc?
   Yes you can! You can launch it via the command line like this :
   mp3towave -C "pathtomp3"
   
   Note that it needs the quotes around the path to the MP3 and the c needs to be a capital C. Of course, the "Acoustica MP3 to Wave Converter PLUS" executable directory must be in your path variable or you must put the explicit path to the executable in the command line call.
   
   If you are converting to MP3, you'll need to specify the -3 flag.
   
   Flags
   
   -3 (Convert to MP3)
   -C (Convert to WAV)
   -M (Convert to WMA)
   
   
6. Conversions are taking a long time.
   Go to the options dialog to set the pauses to a shorter time. 50 - 250 millisecond pauses are a good setting. For maximum speed, you can set it to 0 millisecond pauses if you don't need to do any other processing on your computer!
   
   In addition, it is natural for conversions to WMA and MP3 to take longer than converting to WAV.
   
   
7. When I try to re-associate it says "Failed to associate!"
   If you are using WinNT or Win2k, please make sure you are installing the software in Administrator mode in order to get the file associations set up correct.
