Hey everybody,
I'm new to these forums, and I have a question about loading mp3's into DBpro.

I can't load any mp3 files that I have; I can load midi files on the internet, and I can load the mp3's that came with DBpro (like "music fun" etc.).

But when I try to convert an iTunes music file from .m4a to an mp3, I just can't load it. I've tried all kinds of stuff, and still nothing.

Any suggestions?

My guess is that whatever you're using to convert the files isn't doing it properly.

What program are you using to do the conversion?

iTunes might be encoding it in a way that DBP doesn't like. Try converting using Audacity, it's free:

Try converting it into WAV. format use this converter (download here: http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html) it is free (though the pro trial expires) and works great with almost any type of audio.
