Need Help Importing Audio Files Into 1.4 Version Of Scratch

I always get something that says, "Unrecognized Audio Format !" or something like that.
Do any of you know how to import an Audio File in the correct format?

Thanks!  smile

if you are taking it from a mp3 for some people it will say "unsupported wav format". try change the file type or open them in itunes,go to edit, go to preferances, then go to import settings, change to "mp3 encoder". then right click the song. click convert to mp3 (if it does not ask you to convert to mp3 egnore that part). add it to fieldable folder and there you go (this might not work)

The type of music files that Scratch accepts without fail is a .wav file (Windows PCM format). Whatever music file you have, you'll need some kind of file converter to change it into the acceptable format before you import it into your Scratch projects.

Try a .avi sound file. It works for me!

Do you have the preliminary version of Scratch 1.4 because if you do you should update to the latest final version of scratch 1.4. Hope that helps!
