How to?

Before you start…

After starting the program, drag and drop your MP3 file onto the screen.

*Use MP3s with a CBR (Constant Bit Rate). VBR (Variable Bit Rate) MP3s may not be analyzed correctly. If the analyzing process fails for your MP3 file, please visit the reference page HERE.

On Charamin OMP, the following song situations below may fail to make dance:

  • Songs not following 4-4 count
  • Speed changing songs
  • Songs that are not 110-200 BPM
  • Not clear beat or drum sound
  • Over 7 minute song

From Version 1.1.0.5, we can decode the music file using a plugin as it reads the music.

As a sample, we have a music file decoder using FFmpeg. You can install the plugin when you install the Charamin OMP Beta version, or you can renew from the Charamin settings.

Music file decoder using FFmpeg reads MP3s plus these file types:

  • wav
  • m4a (iTunes, etc)
  • 3gp (x-app, etc)

*Music with DRM, reading and playing is not possible.

*With DRM or not, we do not guarantee all the files above can read.
