Do you have to use THEIR software to make MP3 filesthat play on the device, or can I use Audacity, Sound Forge, or ProTools to make my MP3 files?

You may use your own, as long as mp3 is the format saved! I, however have used the background music provided with this, so thereare no "licensing" issues of using someone else's music. I use a file converter to make their (background music) files compatible with most any editor.

I used their software. It worked great for me. I'm not sure about any other program. I did have to buy an external mic from my computer because it was recommended.

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

My WMA files do not play on this device, it actually freezes it. I believe it only plays MP3 format.

When I use an SD card, I have the same issue. I believe its because there's no lead-in on an mp3 file. I want to check if Audacity can add a lead-in to mp3 files, but haven't gotten to it yet.

Correct. It interfaces only with a tablet application. That's part of the problem. You cannot edit the sound files (easily) or store the files on your PC. Livescribe is reasonably clear about that, but even knowing that up front you may find it very limiting and frustrating in practice.

I use Roxio software that uses the USB computer port for recording. The Roxio software comes with a USB hardware device that interfaces between the computer and Pyle PT65DU Dual Stereo cassettes. If you have a similar hardware device that is recognized directly by Audacity software, then you should be able to record your MP3s. You can use Audacity to edit your MP3s after they are recorded.

Yes. This device will not produce sound without a program. However, it ships with a disk loaded with free software, and I found this quite enough to use it. If you already have something like Garage Band, ProTools, Ableton, or something similar, it will run with that as well. There are also some free programs available with a quick Google search.

That is how I use it. You can opt to create a higher quality mp3 when you record if you need better quality. I like that flexibility.

Yes. There are some great MP3 audio and voice editing software available that can be used to create your own MP3 files. Some examples are Audacity and NCH software (Wavepad sound editor, Switch sound converter, etc.). Use them to create your own MP3 files, then load them on a flash drive and plug into the Grace Audio unit. For best audio quality, you may need to modify the files to match the sampling rate and other parameters of the codec being used with your phone or PBX system. Also, verify that any music used in your system is royalty free, otherwise you will be required by law to pay royalty. Yes.

Yes, Code/download your music to mp3/mp4 and copy/move to stick. Use Audacity, freeware or Quick Media Converter Version 4.5.0.6, freeware to convert wma wmv etc to mp3 The mini mp3 player is very nice and plays very loudly. I bought that and several others from that company. All work well and I do not need bluetooth in remote areas of the house. Use TagScanner 5.1.643 freeware to build collection and MP3Gain freeware to level loudness etc. All program easy to medium to useMike

You should be able to...mp3 files generally transfer into my itunes library but I haven't actually tried it yet. I was planning on downloading the software today and giving it a try so I will give a definite answer later.
