Title: [split] exporting xm
Post by: clo1_2000 on July 26, 2007, 19:09:23

How are you converting them?  I want to send some samples to my friends, but don't want them to have to download a player that can handle .xm

I split your post off the other thread as it was a little off topic, but this is useful to know:

I got from the gist of your post you meant entire modules to send clips of them to friends as plain audio. Not individual samples? Well, if not, that's something else altogether.

Anyway, Modules:

Both modplug player and XMplay can wave-write, in other words, play modules and render them directly to disk in wav format. XMplay has it's own documentation for this as far as I know

Xmplay: Options->Output->
Set Device: to->  Wav Writer

File writing-> Set a directory

Then just load in the mods and they will render (you wont hear them), but the files are on your disk as WAV files. Use a regular MP3 encoder like dbpoweramp or whatever to convert them to MP3, or OGG.

Modplug player has a special front panel button "Save Wav", pretty self explanatory. Then do the same as above.

MilkyTracker can export WAVs as well.

i recommend lamedropxp2 to encode mp3
http://www.rarewares.org/dancer/dancer.php?f=lamedrop-current

it's a drag and drop front-end for lame

right click in it -> encoding options -> choose 190 quality and fast: this is the equivalent of -V 2 --vbr-new

Doesn't your iChoons cover that? Other than that, I'm sure there's a LAME build for OS X out there as well.

iTunes does just that.
