  • How to get audio clips to play at site but not actually download?

    Would like person to be able to listen only to audio clips but not to be able to download clip to add to their iTunes library. In other words, am selling an audio product, and while I'd like people to be able to hear samples at my site (built with iweb), I don't want them to retain clip. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this would be much appreciated!

    Stopping people from downloading anything that's published to the internet is virtually impossible.
    I would recommend that you first edit your files so that you only have about a one minute clip online....

    Dragging you files onto the iWeb page is not the best way to present them as a large percentage of PC users won't be able to play them. The Wordpress standalone flash player is still about the best way to play audio and you have to know how to get into the source code to be able to download the files....

    Or use a flash jukebox....

    For the increasing number of people using iPhone/iPad you can use this dual player....

    or have an alternative page using HTML5 players.....

  • How to get audio files to follow project tempo??

    Im tryin to figure out how to get my mp3 audio files to follow project tempo and transition up or down to any specific tempo.. is there any way of doin it? thanks

    Hi,
    Yes, you need to convert them into Apple Loops. First, you have to convert them to either AIFF or WAV format (or use the original WAV). You can do that in the Audio Bin. Drag the converted file onto an audio track.
    In the Arrangement window select the newly created region of the audio file. In the Arrangement window menu under 'Audio', choose >Open in Apple Loops Utility...
    Next, take look at p 618 in the LP8 Manual 'Creating Apple Loops in the Apple Loops Utility'. That should/may get you there.
    regards, Erik.

  • Audio file will play on iTunes but not on my Nano

    I have an important audio file (in WAVE Audio File format) that plays fine on my iTunes, but won't play on my Nano. It's odd -- the file downloaded to the Nano and appears in a playlist, but when I go to play it, the Nano advances immediately to the next song. Do I need to convert the file into some other format in order for it to be playable by the Nano? (FYI, the audio file is 17.4 MB, if that matters).
    Help!
    --Andrea

    Only uncompressed WAV files are iPod compatible as this article explains.

  • How to get SWF files to play in Dreamweaver CS5

    I designed an interactive memorial page for my company in flash catalyst 5.5. According to the tutorial, it should be simple to insert into a webpage in Dreamweaver. Insert, media, SWF.
    When I try to preview it in internet explorer, there is a blank square where the object is supposed to be. I do get an Adobe Shockwave symbol in the center but that is all. My flash player and shockwave are both updated. I can't imagine what could be going on with this. I am fairly new to web development and have no formal training but my boss is growing impatient.
    Please HELP!

    Wow...more learning here I see. My goal at the moment is to start a root directory. As it stands now, I have only 1 set of files in the DW "sites and servers" (Remote ftp site) I am reading that I need to also have what I think is called a "root" directory where I keep all my images in my PC. I have never done this. I go to DW and add 1 picture at a time, whether in this new slide show or any images I want to insert. I usually go to my off site server, copy the http and insert.
    I am reading that I need to create a local file (folder) on my PC that somehow "links" everything. So when I go to insert this image, it then transfers it to the remote server.
    I am not even sure what a SWF file is. I think it is a code as you say that somehow has all the image names in it that eventually get inserted. Again, I am still learning.
    In another thread in this forum I have been asking questions regarding the public_html issues. I have seemed to have solved that by adding this text into the "Host" file box in the server configuration. Never was there. Now I know why I had to always delete this tag.
    I have a folder in my PC that contains the slide show pictures. I have an identical folder in my remote server. So it plays now in both DW preview and the live site. Now my issue is I am unable to add pictures. It is like I have "done" this particulat SWF file and that code wont allow me to "add" to it. Hard to say what the deal is. I can preview these 2 new images in DW and they are in my PC folder and he remote folder, but the live version is short these 2 images now. So my only thought is to make a brand new SWF file and start over adding one picture at a time.
    I read your comments about how you do it, but it is still not sinking in. I do not understand this whole file upload thing, or this complete "package" transfer. In DW you start by making a flash media with a name. The you go and add 1 image to it at a time. I cannot see an option in the square box with the "F" logo where you can dump a whole slide show there.
    I do not want to seem too dumb, as I try to grasp as best as possible, but if you can explain in specific steps, even if it is a "test" 2+ images slide show, it would help.
    I am going to read the help files tonight because my first challange is to get a root folder added to DW. I think this is the utmost importance as I do not have one now. My files are scattered eveywhere in my PC. It is I "pick" images from everywhere to add to the website. Although my remote has all the images I am using (and plenty more i am not)
    Hopefully, after 10 years of having this site given to me in DW format, I will start to understand it as time goes on. A gift from a Digipen student who had a task of building a website, which he made for me.

  • How to get quicktime files to play in Windows Media Player...

    Hello. I've got a Mac and use iMovie to create vid's. I need them to export in a format that can be played in Windows Media Player on a PC. I've installed WMV (even bought the Studio version) and they were converted to mp4 files. They play great on the PC using Quicktime in the mp4 format, but when opening them into windows media player I keep getting a codec error. Is there anyway to get around this? Unfortunately, they have to be played on a PC in media player to be presented. Thanks for your time once again!

    Your bought WMV? Do you mean Flip4mac? If you just mean the ancient Windows Media Player for Mac, it won't work.
    Reading this set of directions you export to WMV and name the file with a WMV extension:
    http://www.flip4mac.com/pdfs/Flip4MacWMVQuickStart.pdf
    If you don't have Flip4mac, that is, the $50 version, not the $29 version, you can't export, just import.

  • How do you get music files to play on iTunes 10.5?

    Every time I click on the song it shows that it's going to start playing but it doesn't actually start.  It shows that the song is at 0 seconds but the play button is on.
    I have a macbook pro.  Latest software. 

    I have obviously tried that, and it still won't play.  According to the top, it's playing, but the status bar of the song that shows where in the song it's up to isn't moving and the song isn't actually playing. The volume is turned all the way up, so I'd hear if something started to play. 

  • Sight impaired how to get audio books onto my new itunes libary

    Hi all, i have a new laptop running windows 8 and my classic 160g has many audio books i would dearly love to put into my itunes.  Please can anyone tell me how to do this?  I am sigth impaired so the easy way please.  if ther is one.  Many thanks for your help.

    Hey there,
    Ignore the message that comes up in iTunes. Hit "Cancel"
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
    There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
    Hope this helps. Make sure if you have iTunes purchases, to authorize your new library at some point.

  • How do I get a 3ga audio file to play on iphone 4s?

    How do I get a 3ga audio file to play on iphone
    4s?

    You don't need to download an App.
    My understanding is that you simply have to change the file extension from .3ga to.mp3 (on each file) and then they should play.
    That said, it works on a Macbook Pro - I've just tried it.
    Not sure about iOS though.
    Please reply if it works for you.

  • DW CS3: how to get audio to play in hot spot?

    I have tried in vain to get an audio file to play when clicking on a hot spot on a graphic.  It plays but it opens in a new window with a skin.  I want it to play while the graphic is displayed.  I tried target="-self" but it still goes to a new page.  Anybody know of a way to get around this?
    Thank you!

    You don't need to go in the Environnement. In the Arrange window, use an Audio Instrument track, insert Ivory at the input and if the track is selected, you should hear it.

    I imported an audio file from windows to itunes on my pc, how do i get that onto my iphone?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Assuming it's in the correct format, select your phone from the device list in iTunes on your computer, select the music tab and check the music you wish to sync.

  • How do you get the files to play continuously?

    How do you get the files to play continuously? I created multiple slide shows in IPHOTO. I added them to IDVD and I cannot get them to play one right after another. Instead it goes to the main menu after each slide show.

    Did you add them all at the same time into the slideshow area?
    First, click on the + sign on iDVD's main menu, then select 'Add slideshow' and put all of them into the drop area. Now they will play continuously.
    Here is a visual image from Old Toad that shows multiple videos in the slideshow drop so they will play one after the other, but it is the same for your slideshows:

  • Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?

    Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?
    I downloaded a series of podcasts recently.  They were imported into my "music" directory instead, making it more difficult for me to recall where I left off with the last podcast I listened to before having to stop it for whatever reason.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    You can do it, though the result isn't ideal. Import your episode, then select it in the Music list and hit command-i to bring up the info panel:
    However each episode you do this with will turn up as a 'podcast' with no name - and it doesn't seem possible to give it one - containing the one episode:
