audio file not showing up

Post by bradhammer »

I don't know if this has been ask before, but I need some help with my audio file. I am trying to import a song into anime studio, but it does not show up in my files when I try to look for it on anime studio. I don't know how to check what type of file it is(I mean like .wav,.zip, and files like that)so it would help to know what to do.



Thanks

AS doesn't support WMA. AS supports WAV and if you have a duplicate of the WAV in MP3 format in the same folder that will be used for export to Flash.

This is the quote from the link posted by Genete:
What about WMA, I like that format?
Well i don't, its not a workable, industry format compared to MP3 and WAV.
So don't use it really.
You need to convert the WMA to WAV to use it with AS.

Audacity can not open WMA files.

You will need to search the web for how to do this. Remember that WMA is a windows format so is not an "industry standard" format and probably is not open source. I seem to recall something involving a program called Winiff for converting.

Try a search in google "convert wma to wav". Remember... google is a gold mine of info. A few words in google can reveal a wealth of information.
