Converting LHA files to MPEG File
Re: Converting LHA files to MPEG File
Ey up!
Welcome to the forum!
I'm assuming you were just wanting to play the OGG/MP3 files available in the collection?
Welcome to the forum!
LhA is an archive format like Zip. You'll need software such as WinRAR to extract the music from these archives.BigG wrote:Hi ya, i was just wondering how to play LHA files that i have downloaded from EXOTICA on Windows Media Player i believe the file needed is MPEG.

Some tips,
Freeware (de)compression tools - most modern ones support LHA, RAR, ZIP etc :
http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/downloader/fwzip.html
or
http://www.nonags.com/nonags/ziputil.html
Play your tunes using Deliplayer (http://www.deliplayer.com) or XMPlay (http://www.un4seen.com) with Delix plugin (http://www.pieknyman.tk).
Record your output to WAV, either using a record function in the player (requires licence with DP still perhaps) or use a Sound Editor which can record "What I hear" etc (eg Audacity - http://audacity.sourceforge.net). Burn these WAVs to CD if you wish.
Hope this helps,

Ok i must be a real NOOB!
I downloaded a zip thingy.... now wat? all i wanna do is to play these files in Media Player so that i can burn them.
i dont know how to work ANY zip programs,
A step by step instructions on how to extract the Lotus3 file (Example)and convert it to a file that is able to be played on the Media Player would be helpfull
Thanks guys!

I think the easiest solution would be to install DeliPlayer.
It will play all the tunes available on (Un)ExoticA, and it will play them without you first having to extract them from the LhA archives. It also supports saving the music as Mono WAV files.
And it will do all this for free.
...however...
If you want to save any of the music as a Stereo WAV file to burn as CDDA you will have to upgrade to DeliPlayer 2 Pro for the humble price of €20 (Euro) or $20 (US-Dollar). The $20 US Dollars is less then £12 (UK)!
If you are wanting to listen to music such as Lotus 3 using Windoze Media Player, then AFAIK it doesn't support Amiga modules.
