And the iPod would not play the former Olympus WAV files! (Though it would play a song downloaded from iTunes.) I don't remember the iTune filename extension (cause we did the transfer a week or more ago plus I'm a n00b to iPods, it was my first iPod) but I do know that once we made the transer we checked the extension and the WAV extension was replaced with the proper Apple extension.įurthermore, the techs at Apple were stumped. All of them went straight into iTunes and during the transfer process they were automatically switched over from a WAV filename extension ('automatically' I guess as we didn't do anything manually) into to iTune exe filename extension. I need to be able to listen to those WAV files when I walk around town, so in order to accomplish that I did what the techs at Apple told me to do, I loaded them/transferred the WAV files right over into iTunes. I then went out and bought a 5th generation iPod Nano.
So.I have a ton of WAV files saved on my Dell desktop. The problem: the last couple of years I recorded a lot of conversational/dialogue oriented content with a really neat, trusty and very reliable Olympus digital voice recorder. Four or five weeks ago I bought my very first iPod and then yesterday I took it right back to the store to get my money back.
