Making .brstm files - problems using Androu1's Tool

[Manveru]

So I've been trying for several hours to get Androu1's tool to work correctly with Stereo MP3 files in Audacity. I cannot get this to work at all. I've followed all the instructions to the best of my ability but every time I try to play a song the system freezes completely. Do I HAVE to choose a number other than 0 for the start point? The sample rate is 32000 but when the program gets finished making the files, each song shows up as a 0kb size .brtsm file - as in a blank file! Why isn't it making the songs correctly? I do have troubles trying to save the edited .wav file with the same name - I hit Export as .wav and it asks me if I want to replace it, I hit yes and it says the disk is write-protected or full....but it's neither! What's going on here? Can the song only be so long? I don't understand why it isn't working. I'm going to start getting screen shots of everything I'm doing so that I can show you to try and see where it went wrong.

  I used Dantarion/BionicSonic's hack.....works much better

no problem

How can I make the songs louder? Should I just bring them into audacity, amplify the sound, and save them as a different MP3?

That won't help you, as Dantarion's tool has "volume normalization." In other words, it'll try to make your song match a certain volume, it might work and it might not, and there's nothing you can do about it.

You want to guarantee your song has the right volume, use Androu's tool.
