8TraXX LED Blink
The sound file has a corrupted or missing sequence header. Try re-encoding the file. You can use a shareware program such as http://www.4musics.com/wav-mp3-wma-ogg-converter.htm to encode in VBR (variable bitrate) which normally fixes the problem.
Can the 8Traxx play multiple channels in sync?
The 8Traxx is intended to be a multi-channel audio repeater and not a synchronizable audio source. If you require multiple audio channels to be played back in sync, please see the Digital Binloop which can play up to 32 channels in perfect sync.
How do I automatically loop and play a file at power up?
You can strap the rear "play" inputs of the 8-Traxx using a wire to cause the 8-Traxx to play loop a file on power up. In order to play and loop the file, the filename must correspond to channel that you want to play. snd00001.mp3 corresponds to channel 1snd00002.mp3 corresponds to channel 2.. ...
I've copied several files from my PC onto a Compact Flash, but they do not play.
The Compact Flash may have been pre-formatted in a way that is incompatible with the 8TRAXX operating system. Refer to the Formatting section of the manual to find out how to format the media.
My 8TraXX or MP3AM responds slowly to serial or parallel play commands.
The 8TraXX and MP3 Audio Machine wait for an MP3 sequence header comes along in the currently playing file before transitioning to the next file. If your sequence headers are spaced too far apart, there can be a long delay between command reception and playback Try re-encoding the files using a ...
My 8TraXX responds very slowly to a Stop command. Why?
The sound file has a corrupted or missing sequence header. Try re-encoding the file. You can use a shareware program such as http://www.4musics.com/wav-mp3-wma-ogg-converter.htm
to encode in VBR (variable bitrate) which normally fixes the problem.
The MP3 audio seems to jump from one file to the next unexpectedly. Why?
The media has become fragmented. Format the media in the 8TRAXX and then re-copy all the files to it.
What bitrate should I use to encode MP3 files for the 8TraXX or MP3 Audio Machine?
The 8TraXX and MP3 Audio Machine are compatible with any MP3 file currently supported by the most popular (and some unpopular) software encoders available. The bit rate you should use primarily depends on three factors: How much media storage you have, how much material you have to store on the ...
