Homebrew Problems converting WAV to BRSTM for custom themes

[mashers]

I'm trying to convert a WAV file to BRSTM so it can be used in a custom 3DS home menu theme. I've tried two different pieces of software and neither is working:

Every File Explorer

1. I choose File > New from File > Nintendo 3DS Plugin > CTR Stream (CSTM)
2. The open dialogue box appears and I choose the WAV file
3. The open dialogue closes but nothing else happens
4. When I quit the software I get an error saying "waveout device was not closed at waveout.finalize()"

BRSTM Converter 3.4.1

1. I run the app and leave the settings on default and just press OK
2. I choose the WAV file from the dialogue
3. Three windows pop up at this point:
   1. "BRSTM Converter" which shows "current file: 02-donkey-kong-island"
   2. "output\02-donkey-kong-island.brstm" which says "Creating temporary WAV file"
   3. An error dialogue saying "The system cannot find the file specified"
4. When I press OK on the error, I get another error saying:

Files made:
Files NOT made:
02-donkey-kong-island.brstm
​

When I press OK on that last error, all the windows except the main settings window close and nothing else happens.

I have tried both of these apps under Windows XP 32-bit and 64-bit, both inside VirtualBox hosted on my Mac since I don't have a Windows box. Any help much appreciated!

Thanks buddy. I've got to the part where I use BRSTM2BCSTM.exe to convert the file created by BRSTM Converter. As soon as I open BRSTM2BCSTM.exe, it crashes immediately saying "BRSTM2BCSTM.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close...." It's the standard XP window saying a piece of software has crashed, but I don't know why it's crashing

Ok I managed to get BRSTM2BCSTM.exe to work by running it in Wine rather than actually in Windows. But now when I try to install the theme with this sound file I get an error in CHMM:

Error: [string "?"]:91: error writing file

Sorted

I had to remove the old theme by going into the Home Menu change theme options, select any built-in theme and then change to default to delete the existing installed custom theme, and then reinstall my custom theme with the audio file I created using BRSTM2BCSTM.exe and it worked perfectly! I now have a lovely DKC theme ready to share with the world
