Does anyone know of a program that can convert .asf files to mp3's??/

If you do please tell me......

I don't know of any such program but If you can convert the said asf file to wav format then it can be done easily using a program called CDex.

Right now i cant convert asf files to anything...:(

[Darunia]

Can I ask why do you want to know that?

[Drunken Tiger]

Because, obviously i have some asf files that need to be MP3 for my portable MP3 player....

You could try this place. http://www.softandco.com/a/2566/Konvertor.html The progream there is meant to be able to convert them.

actually, there is a way you could convert to wav easily, if you had one of them handy Double jacked wire leads. From the line out (not the speakers, the other one) connect to the mic port then record it in wav. good quality and quite easy to do.


Here something I found while searching for such a converter -

: Perhaps there is no such program. I wish there
:were as I too need to convert som asf files into
:wav or mp3 files.


There is, but the problem is MS wants to keep the ASF format to themselves. VirtualDub could do it (that is open ASF videofiles), but MS forced them to remove it.

So look for VirtualDub 1.3. The later versions have it removed ...

You can save then in plain AVI file (or export only the music to WAV). Or of course use an other format like MPEG.

There is also a second tool called 'asftools'. I have version 2.30, but it is very buggy, so I don't use it. But that one is still vailable I guess unlike VirtualDub 1.3.

and of course, the some what lengthy solution -

ok, this is a pretty long way of doing it, but this works...

You can go to google.com and search for total recorder. Once you got that install it and everything and open your .asf in a program that can play it. Once your asf is playing quickly start recording it with total recorder. Let it run til its done recording. After its all done you will have a big .wav file with your audio which you can cut into smaller files with sound forge or just find a program to convert the big .wav to .mp3 then cut it up in sound forge..either way is fine, or any other way you wanna do it.

Well, hope this helps, it might...bye.

Here's a link to a total recorder - http://www.highcriteria.com/

and then you could use CDex to make it an MP3.

Hope it helps DT!

EDIT - also heres a link to Virtual dub v 1.3d (that all i could find on short notice - http://www.softpile.com/Multimedia/Video/Review_04966_index.html

If you have a SBlive sound card you can use Creative recorder to record the asf while it's play and make it into a wav file. From there you can convert it to mp3.

This method could take a while since you need to listen to all the asf files you have.

But it i record it the quality would be worse than it already is....

Mander, thanks for the link Ill try it out when i get home...:)
