OK - there are progs that will convert a mono wav file to a stereo file quote]

Well there, you answered my question that I asked.

next: How do you do it and with which program, then i will obtain that program, follow your instructions, and move on and take my chances?
Thanx,

I use an audio editing and mastering software program by Steinberg called WaveLab. There are lots of other (much less expensive) progs that will do the job - I think this one may be able to do it. I'm not personally familiar with it but this looks like a good place to start looking:

Today I recorded the contents of an old 33.1/3 rpm record to my HD using WaveLab.
To do this all I do is connect the record player to my Amp which has an audio output connected to an input on my Creative Audigy2 external i/o Sound Module.
(Actually I think this sound card comes with everything you need to do what you want - however because I have WaveLab I don't use these tools. It also comes with some very informative and detailed manuals on Music Creation etc.)
I also have another little gadget called PowerWave - a USB Audio Interface & Desktop Amplifier. It's a very small but remarkable device by Griffin Technology. This is what it does:
Archive records and tapes to make MP3s or CDs
Record instruments or voice into your PC
Connect and power any set of home stereo speakers
Use as a standalone amplifier for iPod/MP3 player
Zero latency monitoring for multitrack recording

You might like to take a look at this program too:

Don't get too excited - in actual fact all it is is two track mono
There is no way ( that I am aware of) that a mono recording can be converted into a true stereo recording.
Conversely, it is possible to convert a stereo recording to mono.

Not sure I understand your question.
I have made several responses in this thread.
If you are referring to previous threads etc, I usually find I am fully occupied with ongoing beta testing.

NoI was referring to this thread.

I posted right from the very beginning that a mono could be resampled as stereo, agreed it would be two mono tracks, explained athat the 8 bit mono vs 16 bit stereo would be the resulting improvement, and you act like I'm surprised at you finally agreeing with me that it could be done, which Bryant acted like he was hearing it for the first time in your post, and on and on.....good grief.

All that considered, my WOW post was sarcasm (not directed at you) which should have been obvious to a tester with a trained eye, because this is a sarcastic face.

Case closed. No need beating it to death. I too have better things to do.
