Audio Preview - like in Mac OS X Finder

I like to add on this side (http://www.royalrichmanrecordings.de/#8) a audio snippet to each cover. The best would be to do it, like Mac OS X handels audio in the preview if navigate in FInder. See the attached picture. It´s not neccesary to look like it is in MAc OS X. But it would be great, to start and stop the snippet by clicking the Cover. Any ideas.
Regards Martin

Hey Martin.
I'm looking feverishly for explicit instructions on how to install bumpbox to get it working in Dreamweaver CS4. I can't find anywhere on the web where exactly the folder or files should be installed (locally) and a good example of code to make it work for a pdf. Do you either know of a site that spells it out for novice to mid-level user or can you possibly provide me with what worked for you?
With thanks.
Paul
P.S. By the way, to those who watch for such things, I'm posting a new discussion asking the same question of the entire forum since this is the only discussion on bumpbox that came up on my search of all forums.

Is there an app that works like the Mac OS X "finder" for iPhone?

Is there an app that works like the Mac OS X "finder" but to see files on the iPhone???

Apps on the iPhone are sandboxed. That means they only have access to their own files. They cannot see the files of other apps or of the system. This is for security reasons.
There are some apps that present a list of files, like Air Sharing, for you to manage, but there is nothing like the Finder.

XM to "any playable audio format" converter for Mac - where to find one?

I have one .XM file, it is audio. I want to play it, but I have to convert it to something playable first. Any of you know a converter that works on a Mac?

Chris CA wrote:
How can it be named "sound converter" when it doesn't convert anything?
You mean it doesn't convert your .xm file.
It works and converts many other files.
What is this .xm file? Where did you get it?

Audio preview in finder...

The audio preview in the finder on tiger showed up like a quicktime player with a progress bar u could move as u wanted. The new audio preview doesnt give u that option. Any way of changing it back to the old way?

I understand the preview floating pane is quite good for somethings; but it's not very good if you want to listen to a track from a certain point, and then go back to what you where doing previously in other areas of the computer. As soon as you click on another program other than finder, or another finder window the track stops, and the only other option is listening to it all the way from the beginning. This is really limiting and annoying, especially if your listening to long mixes or podcasts. I would really like to be able to choose the way you preview in the finder, i.e. choose the progress bar thing like it had in the old OS.

What app plays audio previews in Finder

When I'm in column view in Finder I can play any audio file right from Finder without actually opening the file or any application. So what app is used to play these audio files?

I'm not sure, but Finder itself may be running the previews, perhaps using Quicktime-related system library components, but not opening QuickTime player or any other stand-alone app. When I look in Activity Monitor, Finder CPU utilization goes from near-zero to about 13% when an Audio preview is playing, and no new process seems to start running in Activity Monitor. The same large increase in Finder CPU utilization is seen in Activity Monitor when a movie file is previewed.

Bridge CS6 Audio preview slow

I'm using Adobe Bridge CS6 x64 and the audio previews have a delay before they begin to play, while the video previews don't. Is there a way I can speed things up and have the audio play almost the second I click? I'm running a decent PC here, 16GB ram, and it occurs on both a 7200rpm 1tb drive and on an ssd. Bridge x64 is using 70mb of ram while it runs. The cache has been purged from preferences.
I've seen this guy VIDEO COPILOT | After Effects Tutorials, Plug-ins and Stock Footage for Post Production Professionals (Click "Watch Demo," at about 2:38 it shows him using bridge) use bridge and get near instant audio playback upon selecting a file, so why am I getting a short delay before playback?

When I saved a image to my desktop and wanted to open in Preview so I could do some altra fast tweeks like add sepia and then resaved it came up that I didn't have aothourization to save changes. I then as suggested went to finder - get info - and unlocked the file and entered the desktop password when prompted and closed but it still won't save the changes. I don't want to change it to open as a PS file because it is a JPEG and takes allot of effort when preview cnages under tools color is so efficient. Other suggestions to try?

Distorted sound with audio preview

Hi,
I have a problem with the Finder file preview. As for sound files, one can usually listen to songs within the file preview, without opening an application. But since recently, the sound of this function is very loud and distorted. I had been running two such previews at the same time and suddenly the sound turned to this.
Since then it has stayed this bad. I tried the usual means: restart, clear user caches, repair file permissions, p-ram reset ... nothing of this helped.
The funny thing is: All other audio stuff works fine. I can listen to iTunes, use QuickTime - everything is fine. But as soon as I try to listen via the Finder preview, the sound is terrifying.
Does anyone know any help to this, please?
Many thanks in advance!

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
tell application "Finder"
quit
end tell
delay 1
tell application "Finder"
run
end tell
Don't press the Run button until instructed. Next, open the /Library/Preferences/ item of your home folder, and move the item com.apple.finder.plist to the desktop. Once this file has been moved, run the script, and then use the audio preview option again. If the sound is still distorted, move half of the plist files to the desktop, run the script again, and repeat the procedure until the item causing the problem is found. If nothing in the /Library/Preferences/ folder is causing the issue, continue with the other items in the home folder except for the desktop itself. If you determine that an item isn't causing the problem, you can put it back where it originally was.

Audio preview no longer works correctly since AE-CC update

Hi everyone.
Since updating AE CC a couple of days ago (now on 12.1.0.168) on OSX 10.8.5, 2.7GHz i7 16GB RAM, the audio and RAM preview no longer functions correctly.
The steps I follow are:
Open AE
Open project
Press . to preview audio from where I am on the timeline, OR RAM preview workspace
What happens is my cursor turns into the wheel of doom for a about 20 seconds, then the playback begins but the audio is sped up which is wrong. Video is correct speed.
If I stop the audio or RAM preview, then preview again, everything is fine and plays instantly. If a RAM preview loops, then the audio reverts to normal speed.
I can open up any and all of my different project files and audio previews perfectly and instantly as it should. It's just the first time I press the . key on a freshly opened instance of AE that I get this problem.
I've tried restarting my mac to no avail, and also changing the pref settings away from what the settings have always been and that doesn't work either. I've even trashed my prefs and that also doesn't work.
I work exclusively at 25fps. Frame rate for RAM preview is set to auto (25) and changing this from auto to 25 doesn't work.
Memory settings are default since trashing my prefs, 16GB installed, 4GB for other apps, no checked boxes are ticked.
Any ideas on what has happened please?

Thanks for letting us know, however, this is a user to user forum and not an "Apple Run" forum.

How do I get new Mac Pro to "find" my HP LaserJet 1200n?

I have been using my HP LaserJet 1200n with my G5. The ethernet cable from the printer is plugged into my Airport Extreme Base Station. On the G5 I have checked the box "Share this Printer", and its location is given as "Local Zone". I have added a new Mac Pro, and want to use the LaserJet with it. I will be getting rid of the G5. The problem I am having is that I can not get the Mac Pro to "find" the LaserJet on its own. IF I have the G5 turned on, then and only then will the Mac Pro print via ethernet to the LaserJet. In this configuration it lists the Laserjet "@ G5". With the G5 turned off the Mac Pro Systems Prefs list the LaserJet as "idle", but when I attempt to print the Mac Pro searches for the LaserJet with no results. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Good news and bad news.
Good news: I got it to work
Bad news: It worked after about 4-1/2 hours of reading Apple and HP posts and printer manuals, and I really don't know that I did anything different I didn't do at 20 min.
To document for anyone that might search...
With a Laserjet 2100M or 2100TN connected through a Linksys router, I think what was key is to unplug and restart every network device several times, including the router itself. That's the only thing I can think of that might have made it work this time since I was doing the random monkey thing.
Pushing both buttons simultaneously on the printer gets it to divulge its IP address, but I realized I can look at my router in the browser and see where it starts assigning IP addresses (...100 in my case) and if worse came to worse, just configure a bunch of printers with ...100, ...101, etc up to the number of devices on the network since you don't know what got assigned what address (it's unrelated to which of the four ports a device is plugged into because of the wireless devices).
So you can go to the printer menu, I right click on the existing printers and clear all the printers, then hit + and then go to IP menu and pick the jetsocket choice, type in the IP address. The very last (successful) time, it knew what the printer was and picked the drivers (instead of generic postscript or PCL like it had 50 times before).
Again, I think it's the rebooting and unplugging or turning things off to force them to do a little comms handshaking. Depression to elation, all over a printer. We're just pawns in the grip of multinational hegemony. <joke>

"File, Find, Searching "This Mac" or "New Finder Window" not finding files ?

I an iMac 7,1, Mac OS X 10.6.8, Build 10K549,
I have noticed on many occasions recently that when I ma using either ...
File, Find, Searching "This Mac"
or
"New Finder Window"
I am NOT finding the files I am looking for ...
I now they are there, so I go through all my folders, and find the files, or folders I am looking for ...
So why could this be happening, why are they not found in the search ?
Is there a fix or addition ?

As baltwo eventually explained, you have to add the search criteria "System files" to your search, with the option "Include" selected, to find many items Spotlight otherwise excludes from search results. Alternately (& quite ridiculously), if your search is restricted to the parent folder containing the item, you don't need to add this.
For example, if you open /Library in the Finder, enter "Desktop Pictures" in the search box, you won't get it in the results with the default "This Mac" location, but if you click "Library" for the location, you will. (Yes, many users think this is bizarre, "what were they thinking?" behavior.)
What Spotlight considers "system files" is only slightly less bizarre, as you will probably discover once you start using it to broaden searches. For instance, Safari history items & Mail.app messages are not found unless you include system files, but many files like C Header Source files (in System/Library/Frameworks) are found without including system files in the search.
When it was introduced in Tiger, Spotlight was supposed to be a next-generation search engine, capable of accurately guessing what you were looking for (& filtering out what you weren't) with near-sentient intelligence. I think almost anyone who used that version will agree it did not achieve that lofty goal. Apple apparently agreed, or at least listened to the complaints enough to realize it needed rethinking. Unfortunately, what its designers came up with for the Leopard rethink feels like an early beta version, full of hastily implemented, quirky features that never got sorted out before it was released.
We can only hope that we won't have to wait for OS 10.6 for a more mature, less quirky version.

After Effects CS6 Audio Preview Issue

I am completely baffled on this one. The audio preview function in After Effects isn't working at all, whether I try to play the sound on its own or within a composition. I tried importing another file and applying a tone effect to a layer, neither of those played either.
I have checked everything I can think of. Sound on the clip is enabled, the waveforms look like they should. The sound works fine when I open the file with another program. I tried playing it with and without headphones plugged in with the volume all the way up, still nothing.
Whether I scrub through holding ctrl, hit (.) or use RAM preview, no sound comes out.
Audio preview is enabled.
Visually the audio levels fluctuate here as they should, but no actual sound comes out. Mute isn't on, as you can see there. Here is the file itself:
When I tried rendering, the sound WAS there in the output file. It's just previewing any sound within AE that isn't working. I need to sync sound and animation for this project so this is pretty debilitating as far as my work goes. I closed AE, restarted, etc., nothing changed. It seems like there must be some place that audio preview isn't enabled but I am out of ideas and no fixes I found on the forum so far have helped. If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful to hear them.

I'd check preferences - audio and your audio settings on the system. Speaking of the system What OS? What kind of sound device?
Did you try a wav file?

Audio Preview Mark a specific spot or stop play

Morning,
Using the . in After Effects is great but....
I have been trying to find out if there is a way to mark a spot while im doing an audio preview or even stopping the playback on a specific spot instead of it jumping back to the begining?

"To add a blank composition marker at the current time, make sure that no layer is selected, and choose Layer > Add Marker or press * (multiply) on the numeric keypad.
Note: Pressing * during a RAM preview or audio-only preview adds a marker at the current time without interrupting the preview."
"To add a layer marker to selected layers at the current time, choose Layer > Add Marker or press * (multiply) on the numeric keypad.
Note: Pressing * during a RAM preview or audio-only preview adds a marker at the current time without interrupting the preview."
(from "Layer markers and composition markers")

Bring Audio Preview to Artist/Album pages and search results!

Note: This idea references features from the new Discover tab which may not have reached all users yet! If you have any feedback about discover, please head over to this ideas topic.
Summary
One of the most useful features of the new discover tab is the ability to "Preview" recommendations.
I think this feature would be very useful if rolled out to other pages, such as Artist/Album pages, as well as search results so you can easily preview content without interrupting what you are already listening to. Music discovery for me goes far beyond what the Discover tab suggests!
Implementation
The behind the scenes work to make this happen might stretch further than I am imagining, although it the new web based pages such as discover and artist pages run on the same platform, how hard can it be to migrate a feature! :)
Good news for the Spotify UI team is implementing this would require only minor changes, since it can be easily worked into the already available elements, just like on Discover.
For anyone who does know, here is what audio preview looks like in Discover:
This could easily be added to other pages:
Artist Pages
Search Results
And with a minor change, a track preview button would be epic!:
Excuse my paint skills!
Conclusion
This feature being rolled out would greatly add to my Spotify experience! Add your kudos if you agree! :)
