Some are even free or have a free 10 day try it before you buy trial period. The next step would require that you get a program that could convert the wav to mp3.

Now, you would need to capture/play your desired sounds into a wav format onto your computer thru your sound card. The redneck way would require that you play your foxpro into a microphone running into your sound card.

This you could safely play into your sound card. Better way: Have someone with a good deal of electonics background take the foxpro apart and tap into the preamp right before the main amp if possible. If this blows your sound card out don't hold me responsible. BE VERY CAREFULL WITH THE VOLUME AND START AT THE LOWEST SETTING. You could probably play the sounds directly into you line in port on your computers sound card. You would have to purchase the desired FXP sounds and a foxpro FXP compatable unit to play the sounds. Can it be done without programming a utility: yes. With Foxpro being such a small speciallized section of the audio market place, I would bet my next paycheck no one has written such a utility. I doubt that you would really get in trouble for doing this, but whoever sells you the copies could really get into trouble if it became a big enough of a problem foxpro decided to push for a legal remedy.Īs far as answering a coversion question, there are programs that will convert from WMA, WAV, MP3 bit rate x, MP3 bit rate y, VBR into various different formats. However, you cannot legally buy a photocopy of a book. This it like it is legal to buy a book from a retailer or even an origianl book from a book store or individual. In order for someone to sell you their foxpro sounds legally they would need to sell you their legally purchased copy and all back up copies they have made. In order for you to legally have those sounds, you must purchase them from foxpro, an authorized foxpro retailer, or PURCHASE THE ORGINAL SOUNDS FROM AN INDIVIDUAL WHO PURCHASED THE SOUNDS LEGALLY. Which is exactly what you are asking someone to do. Foxpro paid to develop their very own audio codec so that users of these sounds could only use them on their machines, and to help protect them from copyright infringment. Back when MP3 was first coming out I remember an article on another competing system that was suppose to result in smaller files with better quality sound that has gone the way of Betamax(if your old enough to remember betamax). There are many methods to achieve compression. Codec stands for compression decompression and is generally referring to video files w/mp3 being the compression method for the audio portion. FXP and MP3 are generically called audio codecs.
