Some WAVs won't play

I get playback errors when I play some wav files. I can't figure out why or if there are different types of wavs. They will play on my PC, but not on my P800

Hi

I've had the same problem trying to create ringtones by converting them into wav. The way to do it is by converting the wav file so the sound is only 8khz, any higher and it will not work. The best way to do this is to use quicktime and go to save as, then choose 'sound to wave' from the drop down menu and click on options , then where it says sound quality go to 8khz.

This happens because the p800 wasn't made to support high quality wave files.

Hope this helps
