Converting mp3 to wav and setting up the right bitrate (for Digitech Jamman)


I'm having some problems. I just bought a Digitech Jamman. A looper for my guitar. It uses a CF-card of 1GB (type I). On my computer I have a lot of jamtracks in mp3 that I want to put on the CF-card. The problem is that my Jamman only reads wav-files. Nothing else. How can I convert my jamtracks to wav, uncompressed, 44.1khz, 16bit mono?

I tried mpg123, it converts to wav but only to 192khz so that's a no go.

Ah, what? .wav is a lossless format with a fixed bitrate, one that's certainly much higher than 192k. I believe it's around 1400k for standard cdda-compatible audio.

Please show us the exact command you tried.

In any case there are any number of other programs you can use. You can start with lame if you have it installed. Or mplayer, ffmpeg, sox, etc. For gui, you might try soundconverter, xfca, or even audacity.

Search your package repository for more programs. And googling for combinations like "linux convert audio wav" should turn up hundreds of hits.

Code:
lame --decode input.mp3 output.wav
