Problems converting Ogg audio files to MP3

Post by CountZeroOr »

I'm running into an issue converting an ogg file to MP3 - when I select the "Convert Audio File" option in MediaMonkey, it gives a dialog box for converting video files - instead of audio.

Any suggestions on how to get this file converted so it can get synced with my phone?

I'm unable to reproduce. Please provide a sample file with this problem to Support. Does this happen with some or all OGG files?

That file gives me audio formats when using Tools > Convert format. Does the file play for you in MediaMonkey and is it the only file selected when using Tools > Convert format.

It is the only file selected, and it does output audio when played. However, when I go to convert it, the formats listed are all video files.

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey are you seeing this with and what Type is the file set to (see Properties)? For me that files works as expected.

Like with lowlander for me file works normally. Just make sure that file properties state TYPE: MUSIC and you should be able to convert it to MP3.

Ah-ha! There's the problem - the file was downloaded from the podcast feed as a "Video Podcast" instead of just a Podcast.
