Can I save the sound from a note into mp3?

[CharlesJS]

I've saved some notes on my xda/wallaby in which there are small embedded sound files.

Is there a way,either within the XDA or in windows that I can separate off the sound part of the note so the sound can be used in another windows programme?

I've tried the basic way of cut and paste but as you'd guess - no dice.

Any ideas out there

Thanks all for reading.

whoops, I've just looked back over my old posts and have seen I asked and got a reply to a similar q before.

I'll try that software to see whether it can 'pull' the embedded sound file from the note -

But If anyone knows this does / doesn't work I'd appreciate a push in the right direction.

Thanks

Bummer! No good, doesn't run. It appears to need W2003 and my xda's using W2000.

Any other ideas people?

Hi,

I had the same question, but since I could'nt save my notes as mp3, I downloaded RESCO Audio Recorder (I use v3.21), and it works great. There are others that offer this possibility, you could look for one that fits your necessities.

You could also play your note while using this audio recorder software, so you get only the sound you want... I don't know if it will really work, but it's an idea.

Hi there, just logged back in tonight 5:45 pm UK time, thanks for the suggestion.

I'm downloading it to my xda right now so I'' post fback for others later

BTW here's the link I used for future ref

Hi there, it works

I Installed Resco then started recording as mp3 whilst at the same time I opened the Notes file and pressed play on the embedded sound file.

So in effect the sound went 'out' the speaker embedded and back 'in' the earpiece to become an mp3

And that could then be taken into my PC

No real loss worries as the file is just 'plain vanilla' voice not music

Thanks again

XDA = 1, rest of the PDA world = 0

Just to confirm, the resco prog works perfectly in recording output from the loudspeaker.

I then passed the mp3 through audiacity a free open source small-scale studio style mixing programme and then uploaded the finished article.

If anyone is interested, here's the link to the file.

the sound file in question is the one called 'Dreams In The Night'

I'm glad it worked... And you're right, the sound quality remains good enough, at least for the convertion of notes to mp3...

Now I use this software directly to record my classes in mp3 format... The main problem now remains with the battery, that lasts less than 3 hours (I also use a infrared keyboard to make my notes while the recording)... I´m trying to change the battery for a new one and also getting an external charger, so I don't need to concern about it anymore... Let's see if I can get it to work...
