Grammofile is primarily intended to remove unwanted artifacts from sound files, such as the scratches in LP's which have been digitised, although I am guessing you know this and use it as such. Although I don't know the exact cause of your problem, it is appears the header in the wav file is not being produced completely correctly, which explains why the time is incorrect. My suggestion is to use some audo file processing utility. My choice is Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/), which is simple and effective (take the 1.0 version for now). If the wave file has a header that indicates it is larger than what it actually is, depending on exactly what is going on audacity will either correct the length immediately, or you will be able to select the "correct" length at the start and export that selection to a new file. After this, you should have a correctly produced wav file which you can write to CD, which I prefer to do with X-CDRoast. I hope this helps. Ian PS: AFAIK, my understand of how the headers store the track length in wave files is correct, however if someone says I am wrong, I will be happy to be corrected.

Hi,

I am new to the list as well as being fairly new to Linux and I would appreciate if someone can help me on understanding that:

The wav files I generate with gramofile program, out of the line input of the sound card, seems normal in size and, in fact, sounds OK if I play it directly with -say- xmms player. But went I intent to burn a CD with they, I get an error because each track is supposed to last for more than 100 min. (in fact they have about 4 or 5min. each).

If I convert the wav files into mp3 format, and then I convert them back to wav format, all goes OK.

The GramoFile version is 1.6 (that I got from Ftp SuSE site because, on the contrary that is said in the Applications manual, it is not among the packages suplayed with the distro) and I run SuSE 7.2 in a Duron-800 based PC.
