Audacity did the trick.

it's not at all clear to me why you would want to convert it anyway. the original file is smaller than the resulting mp3.

Perhaps this is why?

Player compatibility?

An MP3 file can be made to be smaller than this source file. I used foobar 2000 v.0.9.4.2 beta 2 and LAME 3.97r for these:

--noreplaygain --preset 40 -m m --resample 24 --lowpass 11

--noreplaygain --abr 24 -m m --resample 16 --lowpass 8
Click to view attachment
--noreplaygain -m m --resample 16
Click to view attachment

The first file has the best audio quality of these three (the command line is my usual speech setting for LAME MP3).

Alex B, are you can upload codec LAME 3.97r?

"r" means the offcially released 3.97 version. The release was quite new back then and I wanted to differentiate the used version from the 3.97 betas.

Alex B,
There is an Audio Identifier's screenshot:

To me it is necessary LAME 3.97r.
Whether you have it?

The file has 9 channels, which may be the problem.

Ok, if it has 9 channels, that could be a problem. Maybe "audacity" or some other audio editor may help.

khajah,

9 channels! Are you trolling? tongue.gif

Anyway, here you go: (attachments)


EDIT

Adobe Audition thinks that the 9 channels are as follows:
front left, front right, center, LFE, left surround, right surround, back center, side left & side right.

Would you mind explaining where did you get such a file and what you would like to do with it.
