SONG PLAYER AUDIO IMPORT

[dawn68]

Have tried to import both audio & wav file to song player on Genos  & in both cases it says "This data format is not supported"  I downloaded a track from a CD & imported the Wav file into Audacity & exported it as an Audio file & this was the reply, anyone tried this or has anyone the answer please?

Hi dawn68,

According to Genos owner's manual specifications (p. 123), the supported playback audio formats are:
Format Playback WAV (44.1kHz, 16bit, stereo), MP3 (44.1kHz, 64/96/128/256/320kbps, stereo)

Download link of Genos owner's manual:

When you exported your audio files from Audacity, did you use 44.1kHz and 16bit stereo format?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul, When I converted the instruction said to change the number in the left hand bottom corner to 8000 (& I have no idea what that meant) then export either audio or whichever format I wanted. Thanks for your reply

They are WAV files on Genos but you must have the right format for them which is what Paul has told you.

Thanks Eileen will have another look at it today & if I manage I want to use the time stretch facility, thanks again.

Hi
Get a program like NERO and then you can rip cds to WAVE file and that's It.


All the best

Thanks John I have ripped all my cd's through windows media player which then are mp3's & I put one of those into audacity to change it to wav & then tried audio but will have another try today when I get time, thanks a lot.

[dawn68]

Have managed to play an MP3 & the time stretch works with that so will make do with it for the time being as I tried exporting Wav in the format Paul told me-that being in 16bit & 44.1khz but got the same answer-format not supported, will persevere though, thanks for all the help.

You should not need to convert to wav as it is unlikely you will hear a quality benefit beyond that of the original cd and because Genos will play mp3's as long as they meet one of the requirements in Paul's post.

Hi John, Think it was the fact that I wasn't aware I could play mp3's on Genos or Tyros for that matter as I've never used it before,  my mistake but as I still have my Tyros 5 I thought I would try the wav files on there & it seems to be only two of the wav files aren't supported the other two are fine  so perhaps I've downloaded them wrongly. Many thanks for the reply.

Hi dawn68,

the Wave files must be 44.1 kHz / 16-bit / STEREO, because MONO files are not supported.

In case of doubt, please check the Properties of that Wave files, to make shure that they are STEREO.


P.S.
It does not really make sense to convert compressed Audio files (like MP3s) to Wave (uncompressed), because the Audio quality will not be better.

To have a better Audio quality, you have to "rip" a CD directly to Wave format. I use the (relatively old, but good) PC program "Audio Grabber" for this. It can "rip" either to MP3 (several Qualities with fixed or variable bit rate) OR directly to a Wave file.


Best regards,

Thanks for this info Chris will have to check these again. Will look up the Audio grabber, thanks for this.

Good advice from Chris. I've been burned by this soooooooo many times, including export from Cubase.
