hi, i know that the sx just uses 16bit files[mp3][/mp3].
now i copied 24bit from lap into the "import" folder on the sd card (so no wave converter was involved!) + ...the 404 plays them!
does it automatically convert the files??

thnx - ed

nobody??
do i miss something??

I don't have the SX so can't say if it's expected of it. The OG 404 I have is only billed as allowing 16bit files and I've never tried importing 24bit. That said, converting to 16bit from 24 is easily done (just ignore the 8 smallest bits!) and add dither noise (which the dsp that does the mixing probably does anyway).

thanks for the answer!
i always thought the wave converer prog does it...never the idea for converting in the machine itself..
