How to convert wav to mp3? 1

[janicefoo]

Dear gurus and members,

I am a newbie in VB and programming. I created an exe that allows to record, play and save user's speech onto his computer. The file is saved as wav. I wonder is it possible to convert the files to mp3 format when user clicks on Save button? I use VB6 to create the MCI and currently stucked in the convertion of wav to mp3.

I would be very glad if someone could share the knowledge and expertise in this area with me. Looking forward to some replies soon.

Thanks in advance,
Janice

I would use the Shell command to call out to the LAME (yes, that's it's name) encoder. You can download it at:

http://lame.sourceforge.net/

Note that it's command-line parameters are very complex.

Hi Chip H,
Thanks for the suggestion. After several research, I decided to use lame_enc.dll and lameencshim.dll for the conversion.

Thanks,
Janice

If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you obviously haven't grasped the seriousness of the situation
