Software / Converting Wav To Mp3

« on: December 19, 2004, 08:37:27 pm »

I've recently decided to try recording a podcast while I drive to work.  I have a stock SL-5600.

I have used the default voice recorder, which records in WAV format.  The quality is decent enough for my purposes.

I'm running into a problem finding something to convert the WAVs to MP3 format however.  It doesn't have to be anything fancy at all.
As it stands, I have to pull the SD card from my Z, mount it on one of the WindowsXP boxes at work and use a converter there.  I've infested the machined with all kinda junkware trying to find a decent converter.  I'd really like to have the Zaurus do it for me.

I'm willing to try a different ROM if there's something out there that will either record straight to MP3 or convert the voice recorder WAVs to MP3 for me.

Any ideas?  I see lots of stuff to PLAY MP3 but that's not helping.

Accessories / Sample shots from the Sharp CF Camera Card

Can anyone with the Sharp CF camera card post some sample shots taken with the camera?

I found the post on here with the card for cheap and I\'m thinking about it.

It\'s at least got to be better than the snaps I take with my camera phone.  Not worth $170, but is it worth $25?

General Discussion / add/remove software no longer launches

So, after hqving my 5600 for a mere three days, I,ve done something to really mess it up.

when I tap on the Add/Remove Software icon, the burst/overlay shows up.  i get an hourglass on the taskbar.  but that\'s it.  i tried to run it in konsole, but I,m not sure what the command is.

without doing a full wipe, what can i check?

I\'m still  a linux neophyte.
