Parameters for sound files



That might help, but I've also had problems with some wav files I've
created from the cd using Adobe Audition (aka Cool Edit). This one issue
pushed me to use another product for creating slide shows with sound.
XatShow is my choice for screen savers without sound.

I use CDEX using the LAME encoder for making my mp3's. What I'm trying to
figure out is what parameters to set CDEX to encode with. I could find no
consistency as to which files work and which did not.

Darren Farris at xat wrote me the following about the problem: "Sound file
for xatshow are processed by the external audio codec installed on your
machine, rather than by xatshow itself. This is not an ideal solution as"

"To give it the best chance of working (all codecs support) I recommend you
select an mp3 44.1Khz Stereo without any extensions. Many users have had
success with mp3s ripped with (or converted) by http://www.cdex.n3.net/"
