Ive got everything set up using the guide and what not but when i converted my songs, none worked. I downloaded the sample file on the page and it worked fine so i thought i must be converting it wrong so i followed the guide using Audacity but i just can't get any songs to play!!! So i tried downlading some of the songs people have posted on here and they work ok so im really not sure what im doing wrong??

When converting i change to 8000, split track, mono, 16 bit PCM and then convert so im not sure what to do next, pritty much looked at every topic in this section :S

Cheers for the help much appreciated.

This section from the manual should explain everything you need to know about audio conversion using Audacity (if you've read it already, re-read again, very carefully):

especially, check out the visual demo.

Could be some faulty tag data in the file. Upload one of the songs that isn't working for you, I'll give it a look.

Try the file below, all tag data has been cleared. It's as I was saying above: I don't think HL is too fond of tag data.
In the latest releases of Audacity, it should give you the option to modify/remove it before exporting.

[The extension wav has been deactivated and can no longer be displayed.]
