Exporting songs to MP3

[Pedro]

I tried to create a video tutorial using BR-600 photos and the manual to see if I can help anybody and promote more BR-600 song upload in our community. If this type of tutorial proves successful, I may create more with other themes and other recorders.

Nice tutorial, thanks for posting!

A few suggestions for improvement:

- The video should have a title at the beginning (and maybe credits at the end).
  EDIT: Sorry, it has those, my video player must have skipped over this, so I missed it.
- It would be nice to show the method of exporting to WAV via the BR Wave Converter software as an alternative or even as the preferred method. I think its much easier and faster and also works when your CF card is almost full.
- Does the WAV2MP3 software allow to set an ID3 tag? If yes, it would be good for the video set a good example by doing so.
- The video should suggest to give a good filename to the resulting MP§ file. Otherwise we'll have tons of files named "TR0708_2.MP3" here soon

Hi Chris, thanks and welcome to the community!

- It would be nice to show the method of exporting to WAV via the BR Wave
Converter software as an alternative or even as the preferred method. I think its much easier and faster and also works when your CF card is almost full.

I agree, I just remembered that when I was probably in the middle of the tutorial.
I will probably create another tutorial with that method.

- Does the WAV2MP3 software allow to set an ID3 tag? If yes, it would be good for the video set a good example by doing so.
- The video should suggest to give a good filename to the resulting MP§ file. Otherwise we'll have tons of files named "TR0708_2.MP3" here soon

Yes, it supports ID3 tag, will include that next time and also how to rename the MP3 filename.

Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the tutorial, I'd like to see more.  I haven't downloaded the BR WAV Converter yet because I'm not aware of a situation where I might use it.  If it works when the BR is low on memory, then I now have a reason.  What else do you get?

I've been using Audacity to convert wav files to mp3.  Its easy to use, but one must download a file called LAME to make it work.  I didn't have any problem with it, but it now comes with a warning that it may corrupt parts of your computer.  Not good.   

I know others who will benefit from the wav2mp3 program.  Thanks again.

Just downloaded Wav2Mp3.
Much easier than the converter I was using previously.

Cheers

- You don't need the extra space for the converted file on the CF card.
- Conversion is much faster.
- You can export all tracks of a song in one go.
- Exporting/importing is a one-step process only. No need to convert first than copy or the other way round, you just select the track and click export and there it goes.
- It's easy to see which tracks have recordings on them.

Did I miss anything?

EDIT: Ah yes, of course: you don't need the BR-600 to do the conversion, a CF-card reader attached to the computer is enough.

I filmed quite a few video tutorials last Jan for a friend. Here is one part 1 on importing and exporting MP3 files.
