yeah, thats a good idea. or you can use winamp and set the output preferences to Diskwriter. then all you do is specify the output directory, press play and voila! your mp3 track converted to wav in only a few seconds.

I know it's not an ideal solution but if you can't find another way, try using CDEX (its free!) to convert to wav first, then load the wav into CoolEdit. I don't use CoolEdit but I can't see any reason why you can't convert an mp3 into a 16bit 44.1khz wav with it...sounds odd. >From: "Daniel Norman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [dnb-prod] Mp3 to Wav. >Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 11:01:10 -0000 > >I have been using Kazaa for a couple of months now and its great, but when >i download a track e.g. acapellas in mp3, upon opening the track it just >fills the screen of cool edit with white noise. > >Is this because i am converting an mp3 to a 44.1 16bit stereo file (it also >asks for this option regarding Intel umas file format or something)? > >How am i supposed to open it as an mp3 in Cool Edit, cos it just asks me to >choose the file format (44.1, 16 bit etc) as soon as i try to open the file >in Cool Edit....doesn't seem to be a way around it... > >Any help? > >Cheers >Dan > >-----Original Message----- >From: Terry Morgan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: 26 February 2003 10:44 >To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List >Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Vocals > > >High Contrast uses a lot of acapella samples but I have no idea where he >gets them from.
