are the recordings from FM .mp3? or .wav files?

I don't know. My computer reads both but could not read the SD card that I used for recording on the Sangean.

They are mp3. Please consider carefully before purchasing this radio. Mine began having so much noise recording AM that the record function is useless for my intended purpose. I did a web search and I am not the only one with the issue.

You can set the PR-D8 to record in EITHER WMA OR mp3. However, it won't record in Apple's proprietary m4a format. If needed, you can use iTunes or some other program to convert to m4a. I suggest that you download a .pdf copy of its manual at the Sangean website before you buy. (I liked mine enough to buy a second unit.) I find it easier to organize/ the music files on the SD card with a laptop than the slightly clunky built-in PR-D8 interface.

The radio records mp3's. As far as complaints regarding noise, I don't have that problem, in fact I would have to categorize this as the clearest sounding radio I have ever owned. I wonder if some of the problems that people have are due to the enviroment in which they are using their radios.

If your records have snap, pops and hiss this will show up on your mp3 file. You can use a another program to remove the snaps, pops and hisses.

I use a wavplayer program. It is not free. I had to pay for it. I also use Express dictate V 5.18.www.nch.com.au/express to record regular tapes onto my computer and then transcribe using this foot pedal.

They are an .mpv file and I think they are recorded in a Lynx FS. Also the recording directory is only 4GB and then the rest of the playback partition takes up the rest of the 2TB. I can't remember if I ever tried to play them on a pc.

I use WAV. One I record the song and use the Xitel "de-clicker" to get rid of the typical album clicks, I use Audacity to dig the song from my C drive, I then expert it via WAV, and then move it from my C drive to the I Tunes Purchased folder via drag and drop. It's really very easy, and it has saved me a good amount of money that I would have spent buying each song for $1.29 from I Tunes.

I am not sure... I recorded 4 files, it came up in MIDI format - but when played in other media the accompaniment themes came like static noise. I was opening the files in various programs - the same noise instead of the melodies, even Yamaha itself plays it correctly.

I'm Not sure How to explain how I did it.. but I changed the format of the File and then added it to my mp3 player. So I just wanted to let you know it can be done.. You may want to get someone who knows a little more about computers and converting files to come and help you guys out...

I think it is the audio software recorder and MIDI drivers. If you live near to Orlando, FL, I can give you a copy of my CD for free. If you live far from here I can send it via post office.

Thanks for the comeback, I accidently found the recordings in the "Record State" page this morning and was able to view them. my next task is how to save them for later viewing since it has erased them???? The FORMAT box is not checked and overwrite is disabled in the HDD page.

Save them as mp3's to your PC and then just copy them to the USB stick in windows explorer.

The music actually records directly to your windows media player, or whatever program you have set as your default media player... It's actually easier that way than using iTunes.

I've taken material off a cd and transferred it to an mp3. Seems like all the other recording stuff should work

Do you know what I would use to export files in .wav format? I have a pc with the basic stuff. I would ultimately be using Audacity sound editing software. I've always used .wav files with it. I'm not to experienced with the tech side of things.Andrea

I agree. It looks like a drive on your computer, so you can drag and drop songs to it. It will play them if they are encoded in a way that it understands, i.e. basic .mp3's up to 320 Kbps (and reportedly .wav files up 30 384 Kbps, according to the manual).
