help with using this ¿

[sandwichwater]

hello , sorry if im overlooking something really obvious or using this incorrectly , but i cant seem to be able to be able to use this , my first guess was a simple drag and drop onto the .exe after it didnt run when opened but that doesnt seem to be do anything either , and there arent any other files shipped along with the .exe , so ive come to the conclusion that im missing something . sorry again if im overlooking something obvious but i tested a bunch and read the github page and just really cant figure out how to use this . any help would be super appreciated

Hi! Unfortunately, the converter is a command-line program, not an installer, so yeah, you might see a brief flash on the screen when you double-click it, but that's about it.

There are tons of web pages about using the "Command Prompt" to run programs like this, but here's a start guide (don't type what I put in parens):

1. Create a folder on your desktop with the adpcm-xq.exe program and the .wav file(s) you want to convert. Use a simple name like adpcm
2. Start the Command Prompt (Start menu?)
3. type cd Desktop (this takes you into the desktop)
4. type cd adpcm (this goes into the directory you made)
5. type dir (this should display the names of everything in the directory, which should look familiar)
6. type adpcm-xq file1.wav file1-adpcm.wav (this should convert the first file if it was called file1.wav, otherwise use the actual names you want)
7. type dir again to see the file you just made, or look in the folder on the desktop
8. double-click on the adpcm file to make sure everything went well

Hope this helps and good luck!

this did work , thankyou ! command prompt is usually where my knowledge of computers and programs falls short so a step by step process was extremely helpful , thankyou again
