Anyone using Phrase Trainer 2?

[RobertAustino379]

I'm having problems with it, and wondering if anyone here is using it?

If not, the things I'd like in a trainer are the ability to use and store markers, play wma files, slow down the file, expand the waveform,
and save the files to a PC.
Any recommendations?

Thanks for any help

I hadn't heard of it, but I just looked at it and it sounds great. What kind of problem are you having with it?

When I store markers in the waveform, then save the wma file to my Windows PC, the markers go away.
Also, sometimes after I open a saved file, the sound is either slowed wayyyy down, or it's distorted.
It's exactly what I'm looking for, but now I'm totally frustrated.

Have you tried saving as MP3? The markers were still there for me, but I saved as mp3.
BTW it asked if I wanted to save markers and I said yes.
It also played back just fine for me.

Yes I have
The problem arises not when I try to recall a file from the "Recent File List", but when I save it to my PC, and then try to reopen it.
If I recall the file from the "Recent File List", the markers are there.
If I do a File_Save, the markers are no longer there when I reopen the file.

Here's what I did;

Record a sound file with a microphone as a .WMA
Open that file in Phrase Trainer 2
Save that file as an MP3 (File_Save As)
Open a different file in Phrase Trainer 2 from the "Recent File List"
Then reopen (File_Open) the original MP3 file and add and store markers
Open a different file in the "Recent File List"
Reopen the original file from the "Recent File List" and the markers are there, Great
If I then do another File_Save As with the newly stored markers and reopen it, the markers are gone

So the markers disappear when I do a "File Save As" and then try to reopen that file.

Geez, I hope that makes sense, as it is frustrating, and the support is little to none.
