Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Converting audio files WMA -> MP3/WAV?

Content Type: text/plain

Another curious result: I also get the message:

could not find codec parameters

This is on 3 tracks from a (Willie Nelson) CD where other tracks
converted just fine! Is it normal for different tracks on a CD to be
encoded in a different manner or with a different codec?

Peter, where are you?

I'm puzzled.
