Hi, not sure if this is done somewhere else in the forum, but may help someone.
TO MAKE A CONTINUOS WAV FILE FROM THE AUDIO CD
1. Open Windows Media Player
2. Insert your CD, click the STOP button to stop it playing.
3. In the menu 'Rip Settings' select 'Format' WAV (lossless) as the output type.
4. Check all the tracks you wish to rip - generally all of them.
5. Click menu 'RIP CD' and media player will commence to rip the CD.
This will place a folder and the files in your Music Library (see My Computer)
6. Once ripping is completed, open the Music Library folder and the ripped folder ( My Computer/Music/........).
You should see all the files there as *.wav.
To make things easier for the next step, I renamed each file to a single number.wav (this removes spaces in file name).
i.e. 01 Track1.wav becomes 1.wave, 22 Track22.wav becomes 22.wav
To further make things easier for the next part.
Rename the ripped folder to RIP (or anything you like)
Copy the folder to the C: drive.
7. Download SOX for Windows and install it.
8. Open a DOS window to run SOX from the command line ([Windows Key] + [R] key, then type CMD and hit [Enter] key).
9. Type the following - one line at a time.
cd /RIP to get to the RIP folder
"c:/Program Files (x86)/sox=14-4-2/sox.exe" 1.wav 2.wav 3.wav result.wav *** NOTE INCLUDE THE DOUBLE QUOTES ***
( if your machine is 32 bit then then sox will be in the Program Files - not Program Files (x86))
This will concatinate 1.wav 2.wav 3.wav into a single file result.wav
Obviously you put as many files as you like in the command line - I did 1 to 18 as normal.wav and 20 to 35 as inverted.wav
i.e. sox 1.wav 2.wav 3.wav ...... normal.wav
sox 20.wav 21.wav 22.wav ..... inverted.wav
Once you have your BIG .wav files copied somewhere, you can delete both folder if you so desire.
You then should be able to play the resultant BIG wav file and maintain sync.
I am using a $10 MP3/WAV player mounted in the Televisor with the .wav files on an SD card
So everything is self contained, and running off a 12v plugpak to a 6v regulator.
HOW TO MAKE AN INVERTED .WAV FILE
1. Download and install AUDACITY (free) audio editor program.
2. Open Audacity
3. Menu 'File Open' and load your .wav file (OK to message)
3. Menu 'Edit' - Select - All
4. Menu 'Effect' - invert
5. Menu 'File' - Export - change the name as required and [Save] (answer OK to whatever)
6. Close Audacity - answer [No] to save changes.
You now have an inverted copy of the .wav file.
