open it in audacity and then save it as a .wav file and you should be sweet

If you use windows, you should be able to do this with the crappy "sound recorder" app in accessories/entertainment.

soundforge- resample....check sample properties after wards will read 16-bbit down the bottom...may need to repitch once inside mpc depending on other settings used...

if soundforge can ce can

yo man ! i tried that stuff and it dont work, i took the file in wave lab and converted it to 8bit mono and it still comes out 24 bit and the mpc still wont read it ,it says NOT 16BiT WAVE FILE.
this file is from an e-mu drumulator, is there somekind of lock on these that wont let you use on another machine.

The Only Other Possibility is tha U Have Files That Are Protected Check the File Properties 2 See if they are Still "READ ONLY" Tagged and UNCHECK IT ..............................
