WAV2XA
Converts sound files to the XA format.
Usage: WAV2XA <XAFile> <InFile0> [<InFile1>] [/compress] [/parallel]
XAFile Specifies the XA file to be created.
InFile0 Input sound file for track 0.
InFile1 Input sound file for track 1. (optional)
/compress Causes compression of the audio tracks.
/parallel When specified, the XA file will be created for use with
Driver: Parallel Lines. Otherwise, the format of Driv3r
will be used.
Every XA file can contain up to two tracks, where the second track is optional. All input files are required to be stereo sounds with a sample size of 16 bit. If both tracks are used, the sample rates have to match.
WAV2XA supports multiple input file formats (including PCM WAV, MP3 and OGG) through the Audiere Sound System by Chad Austin. Call WAV2XA without parameters to see a full list of the possible input file types.
The audio compression scheme results in smaller XA files (roughly 1/4th the size of a comparable uncompressed file), but reduces the sound quality slightly. Also note that when using compression, the input sound files should have a sample rate which is a multiple of 4082 Hz. If this is not the case, the frequency is automatically adapted, leading to distortion, which might be audible as a tempo and pitch change.
XA2WAV
Extracts and converts audio tracks from XA files.
Usage: XA2WAV <XAFiles>
XAFiles Specifies the XA files to be converted. Wildcards are
allowed.
