Topic: I need some assitance!

Hello,

I have several shows that I have taped using my Olympus VN-960Pc digital recorder.  I would like to be able to upload the shows to my computer, burn them to a CD, and also convert the files to FLAC and upload them here.  I have 2 computers at my disposal.  One has Win 98 and the other has Vista.  Now for the problems:

1.  The Olympus software is not compatible with Vista, which is what I have on my new computer.  I can load the Olypmus software to my old computer and I have uploaded some files from the recorder to the computer.  BUT, the computer is so old that it does not support adobe audition, dbpoweramp, etc.  So, the only thing I can really do with the files is use Roxio and burn them to a data disk.

2.  Once I have the "data" disk, I do not know what to do with it.  Here is the information from one of the files I recorded with the Olypmus, uploaded to my old computer, and burned as a data disk:

1.  Size:  15.63MB
2.  Original Size:  62.08MB
3.  Length:  24:36 minutes
4.  Channel:  1 (mono)
5.  Sample Rate:  22KHZ
6.  Sample Size:  16bit
7.  Bit Rate:  88 Kbps
8.  Encoder Setting:  1MA ADPCM
9.  Audio Quality:  Low (lossy)
10. Channel Mapping:  Center
11.  Type:  .wav

I have heard that there is a way to convert the files from 22KHZ to 44 KHZ, so I can at least listen to them on a CD player.  Can anyone tell me how to do it?  I would appreciate any assistance anyone can give me on how I can convert the files (that are on a data CD) so I can play them on a CD player and also convert them to FLAC to upload here.

Thanks!!!!!

Chris

Try R8brain.  Do a Google search. It is freeware, and a very versatile converter that may work for you.  You should try recording onto something more standardized for the future.  It will make life easier and sound much better.
