Freesound Forums

Hey I have a problem that I have had since I've been on the site, It shows up at the bottom of my profile and it bugs me and the reason why it shows that on my profile is because the first three sounds I posted were .wma (Windows Media Audio File)and Freesound doesn't support it so that is why the processing failed. If your a Moderator could you check my profile and see if you can find a solution to my problem. I also have two sounds that need moderated. This is exactly what it says:

Sounds that have not been processed yet
•grenade launcher.wma, uploaded on March 15, 2013, 11:04 p.m. Processing state: Failed
•machine gun.wma, uploaded on March 15, 2013, 11:04 p.m. Processing state: Failed
•rifle.wma, uploaded on March 15, 2013, 11:04 p.m. Processing state: Failed

Thanks In Advanced.

Hi 18hiltc

This FAQ page - http://www.freesound.org/help/faq/#sounds-1 explains the four file formats that Freesound supports. All of these can be handled by any computer, Windows, Mac or Linux. WMA is proprietary to microsoft, i.e. windows only. You simply need to change the format to one of these four universal formats before you upload.

Hope this helps.

No you didn't answer my question, you just told me stuff I already know and I already know a website that converts .wma files to other types. I plainly said I just want that stuff off my profile and don't post a comment unless you can answer my problem correctly, here is exactly what it says on my profile at the bottom:

I had a similar thing happen recently. A moderator should be able to delete them off your profile for you.

Hi 18hiltc,

I'm sorry that I misread your question, and that my attempt to help annoyed you.

Wibby.

By the way 18hilt, and I really hope this isn't something you already knew, only you can see the text about failed uploads, and only when you are logged in. Anybody else, including myself when I visited your profile to check before my first reply can't see it, so it is private to you.

Again, apologies if you were already aware of this.

With good intentions,
Wibby.

I'm sorry if I sound annoyed I just am really frustrated with my problem and I've had this on my profile ever since I joined freesound. To let you know I'm the only one who can see it and thanks for at least attempting, I am truly sorry if I offended you. Also I hope you are right that the moderators can delete that I may have to ask one to see if he can handle my problem. If any one has other answers fill free to reply even if it may not be what if looking for.

Thanks For Both of your help, 18hiltc.

No offence taken 18hilt.

I think the FS team might not see this as a bug but just a matter of logging activity.

I hope you get it sorted anyway.

Wibby.

(p.s. Even though I and other users can't see this stuff on your profile, only You and Admin, I can't speak for the NSA or the Syrian Electronic Army!)
