can someone help with a problem, :cry: ok I picked my sounds and renamed them 1.mp3...... and so on. made the zip file as SoundPak3.zip then renamed it SoundPak3.pak placed it in the sound pak folder and it doesnt show up in the sound machine. I even unzipped the file and no I have all of the mp3s loose and it still doesnt show. What am I doing wrong?

Not sure, but I think they're supposed to be .wav files. Could well be wrong though, not used the sound machine for a while.

I've never used the sound machine but I would imagine having the files 'loose' won't help as the .pak file will be a filetype associated with the sound machine and would contain al the necessary individual files in the one file.

As he said, he zipped the files.

It says the files should be mp3s and I did convert them to mp3s. I did just what the directions said and im sure im doing something stupid wrong.

Have you renamed the pack correctly? Make sure it is SoundPak3.pak not SoundPak3.pak.zip

Yeah, make sure you're not hideing file extensions for know file types. You can do this by using the 'Folder Options' dialogue box which is in the 'Tools' menu in My Computer.

Good to know, thanks!
