Reply to "Playing .mth Sound Files on your PC"

So happy to have found this thread - and really appreciate the work done to decipher the MTH sound files and assemble a program to manipulate the sounds inside.

I have a PS2 steamer pulling my Polar Express around our Christmas village. Not only were the sounds not really appropriate for the Polar Express, but the command environment made it so the conductor announcement car was not functional. This is no longer an issue!

Following the directions above, I was able to use ADPCM, Audacity, and sox to successfully replace all of the engine sounds this afternoon. The only caveat, I was never able to export from Audacity to vox format for sox conversion. Instead, when exporting from Audacity, I set "Save as type" to "(external program)". The command was specified as "C:\Program Files (x86)\sox-14-4-2\sox.exe" -t wav - -e ima-adpcm -c 1 "%f" - allowing Audacity to pipe its wav output directly into sox, skipping the intermediate vox step.

Thanks again!
