Hi there,

I am using Media Jukebox 8 to convert some WAV files into MP3, OGG and WMA to see which I like the best.  Unfortunately, when I use MJ to convert those files, it lowers the pitch of the song by 1 whole step - it sounds like it has slowed the entire file's tempo down.

However, when I convert the WAV file into APE, it works great and keeps the file at the same pitch and tempo.

I have tried to convert the files with Windows Media Encoder and that works great, so it seems to be a problem with MJ.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?  Thanks!

Best Regards,
Eric

Sounds like the source Sample Rate was originally 48kHz and the encoded file was re-sampled down to 44.1 kHz (or vice versa...forgot which way). In MJ, highlight the *.wav, right click and select File Properties. The last tab should say File Info (or something to that effect). This will give you the nitty gritties such as Sample Rate / Bit Depth / etc. You may need to use an external encoder and throw a switch.

For example...
DVD audio tracks are generally sampled at 48kHz, and if I want to create an ogg of them after extraction, I must use -r 48000 with oggenc.exe if I want to maintain that rate (otherwise it sounds exactly like what you've described).
