Trouble Adding Music

[jlgjones78]

I am very new to PTE and I trying to add a song to my slideshow, however, my song is an MPEG file and the program doesn't recognize it. How can I change the song file to an mp3 file or something else the program will accept? (I pulled my song off of iTunes if that helps.) Thanks a bunch for any help you can offer. -Jen

You need a sound editor program like Audacity (free) or my preference, Goldwave (free for limited use). You load the sound file into the editor, and save it out again under the protocol you want, mp3. Goldwave needs Lamewin to handle mp3 files, and I think Audacity does also.

These programs are available to download from the 'net.

Welcome to the world of PTE A-Vs and the user forum Jen Jones, you will find lots of friendly help and advice here.

You can get Audacity from here:

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

I would also suggest you download Lin and Jeff's excellent "PTE USER GUIDE" PDF document, which you will find under the Tutorial section of the forum. It will answer all/most of your questions and save you hours.
