Downloaded Sounds not importing.

I have tried to download a few sounds from the web site, but when I try to import them it gives an error "Unrecognised file format", all the sound files seem to be mp3.

Thanks

Scratch has been known to be a bit fickle with MP3 files. Try converting them to uncompressed WAV files, Scratch always recognizes those.  smile

to add onto this:
to convert them, a safe option is the open source audio editor audacity

Re: Downloaded Sounds not importing.

Almost all the files on the site are mp3. I use Audacity and Adobe CS5.5 so there will be no problem converting, thanks.

Was hoping it was something I was missing. That's a lot of extra work if you have a library you wanted to move over. Know of any software that will convert complete directories of mp3's?

Thanks for your reply.
