[mary-users] MP3 encoding on AMD64?

[Stephen Mack]

One other thing.  I tried exporting Mary audio in mp3 format from a basic 32
bit Windows XP machine.  But the playback of both German and English voices
was distorted with background scratches and static.  So I had to export
using the default format and convert that to mp3 with VideoLan.

Why don't you just export in another format and do a post conversion to mp3.
See VideoLan, www.videolan.com  It will convert anything.

Hi,

I can't seem to get Mary's MP3 encoding to work on our AMD64 server 
(Ubuntu Linux). I'm suspecting that it has something to do with the 
64bit arch, since the same thing works just fine on another machine that 
I tried, which runs x86 Ubuntu.

I checked the tritonus homepage, and they only mention support for x86 
and powerpc architectures. So is AMD64 really not supported?

Mary's "server.log" file says:
...
2008-07-21 16:21:05,690 [Thread-15] INFO  server     Error parsing request:
javax.sound.sampled.UnsupportedAudioFileException: Conversion to MP3 not

thanks for any help,
Luzius
