So the output is not genuine MP3?

All MP3 players should play MPEG1 layer 2 (MP2) files but sometimes you need to 'fool' them by calling the files .mp3 instead. The iPod doesn't - a typical case of Apple's shoddy "Not Invented Here" attitude.
At the moment it looks like I need to import the files to iTunes, select them, convert them to AAC, remove them all again, delete/move the mp3 files from the music directory and reimport the m4a files that were created during the AAC conversion. What a load of faff! (Yes you can see which file is which using info, but there are 650 of them and it'll be faster this way!)
MP2 is a video format not an audio format, MP1 and MP2 Video both contain MP3 (correct title is MP1 Layer3), The radio TS format is an Empty MP2 video file with MP1 layer 3 Audio
I have yet to find out what the difference between MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 is.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-1_Audio_Layer_II said:MPEG-1 Audio Layer II or MPEG-2 Audio Layer II (MP2, sometimes incorrectly called Musicam or MUSICAM) is a lossy audio compression format defined by ISO/IEC 11172-3 alongside MPEG-1 Audio Layer I and MPEG-1 Audio Layer III (MP3). While MP3 is much more popular for PC and Internet applications, MP2 remains a dominant standard for audio broadcasting.
I'm not sure if you found the answer to your question, Black Hole (I see this is an old post). However, in case not: an MP2 file is a valid audio file type and is found in .mxf files , which are essentially wrappers that hold essence (audio and video files) and metadata (technical and descriptive) and are found in broadcast TV scenarios. I've not come across mp2 files in non-broadcast TV workflows.
MPEG 1 is a standard for lossy compressed video files and the mp3 audio compression format was derived as part of that. MPEG 2 was developed from MPEG 1 and is used in digital television scenarios, although the later mp4 (ptII) format has taken its place in some situations
Screen capture on the WiKi HERE, you need Main Menu >> Browse Media Files >> click on file >> Extract Audio. The Setup for different MP3 layers is at :- Main Menu >> Settings >> General Settings >> Audio Extraction TypeInteresting - where in the WebIF do I find this? I'm running version 1.2.8-4
Interesting - where in the WebIF do I find this? I'm running version 1.2.8-4
To convert these to proper MP3 with maximum compatibility, ensure they are decrypted then use the WebIF Opt+ Extract Audio operation, having first ensured that WebIF >> Settings >> General Settings >> Audio extraction type is set to "MPEG-1 Audio Layer III (MP3)".
It doesn't matter how long it takes if you have the patience to just let it get on with it in its own time (and leave the box turned on). You can configure things to automatically process radio recordings, so all you have to do is pick up the results later.Thanks. Just tested and working but slow, as people have said
