Barry, Thanks. I just converted half a dozen files successfully. Or I think. I'll have to try to play them on my Sansa.
The subfolder seems a good idea to keep things clean. But when they're converted, they go to my documents/my music/mp3 and have to be copies to my Sansa from there. That works. I think. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Chapman" <barr...@bigpond.net.au> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Monday, June 14, 2010 11:19 PM Subject: Re: Converting stereo .mp3s to mono I have only done one, two or three at a time. There is a flag which is supposed to give you the option to have them deleted from there once they have been converted, but it doesn't appear to work in the latest version of CDEX. There is a checkbox to look in subfolders, so if you create a folder under CDEX and put all of the MP3 files there, they won't get mixed up with the other CDEX files. I just tried this and it worked, and didn't try to convert anything it shouldn't have.

If you press enter on select all and then convert it should work. This won't select any of the other files in the folder, since they are not compressed audio files. I agree that putting them there isn't the ideal solution, but I have just spent some time trying to change it and like you, can't find how to. Perhaps someone else can say if they have found a way.

And I can't change the directory it looks in no matter what I do. It says it's going to look only in Program files/DDex etc. So I put a few .mp3 files in there, but that didn't work and was quite a hassle. I feel you may have forgotten part of the instruction? I've changed to mono in the settings, and I familiarized myself with the Convert menu, but it's stuck on this folder, and zerio items, of course. Joel, perplexed Qubit: BTW, I've always found Easy CD etc. so mysteifying with jaws that I gave up using it. Can't tab around it worth horse doo-doo, nor arrow, and it makes no sense to me. A Canadian fellow who shall go unnamed mocked me for asking on the JFW list how to deal with this application, and said it was easy.

In the configuration encoder settings, choose mono and the bitrate you want, then from the convert menu choose re-encode compressed audio file.

But when I work out, I still prefer to have some rock music in one ear bud. I have a copy of EZ CD/DVD Creator, a fairly recent build, and the designer sent me a file he said would merge to two channels for me. But it involves a file extension that neither I nor my Windows XP Home has ever heard of, and I can't run the file and get a list of mono preferences for bps rate to appear beneath the stereo output options. Can anyone help? It's kind of primitive, audio-wise, to go back to mono like early Beatles records, but I gotta do it.
