If you need to (JOSM will tell you), convert your recording to a suitable format using e.g. [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity]. 8,000 16-bit samples per second is a reasonable format. You will need to apply the timestamps of the old files onto the new ones if you have to do this; the Unix command ''touch'' can do this easily if you use consistent naming. On Windows, you can get ''touch'' as part of [http://www.cygwin.com/ cygwin]. |

Select all the relevant WAV files (CTRL and SHIFT click to add and remove files in the selection). This should a produce Marker Layer containing one audio marker for each file labelled with the file name (excluding the ".wav"). |
36 | | * if you don't see labels with the Markers, check that [wiki:/Help/Action/ShowHideTextIcons Show/Hide Text/Icons] on the context menu for the Marker Layer is not off. |

38 | | 4. Make the map using your commentary. Click on the markers to play the corresponding audio. You can move the play head within any one recording's range and use the [wiki:Help/Action/AudioFwd jump forward], [wiki:/Help/Action/AudioFaster fast forward] and [wiki:/Help/Action/AudioSlower slow forward] audio controls, but you can't drag the play head to positions between recordings. |
39 | | * If you start finding play back isn't happening where you expect: |
40 | | a. you may not have [wiki:/Help/AudioMapping/Calibration calibrated] correctly |
41 | | b. you may have been speaking too soon or too late while mapping: you can insert a lead-in time to compensate for this using 'Lead-in time' in [wiki:/Help/Preferences/Audio Audio Preferences]. |
