How to play other audio files in Podcasts app?
Hi all. Whenever I add audiobooks or recordings of radio shows to my iPhone, they go into the Music app. However, this doesn't have a placeholder function (that is, it doesn't remember at which you point you paused the file) or a sleep timer like the Podcasts app does. I find this really annoying, especially the lack of placeholder. Is there any way to get these things to play from Podcasts instead? I've searched on this but can't find any other questions about it. Surely other people find this irritating as well? Hoping there is some solution, maybe using a third party app?
Close Windows Media Player. Make sure you know where the song files are on your hard drive. Use the iTunes command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.
If they are MP3s they will add directly to your iTunes library. If they are non-protected WMA files, they will be automatically converted and added. If they are something else, "measures" must be taken...
Let is know how this works!

How to play an audio file from the begin.........
Hello to everybody,
I am working on a application that is supposed to manage audio file. At the moment I 'm using the SourceDataLine instead of the Clip. But I've got a problem. When the user pushes the Stop button I want that if he pushes Play again the track starts from the begin. I've used the drain() and flush() method but it doesn't work because the track resumes from the point when has been interrupted. Here part of the code:
@Override
public void run()
try
if(dataline!=null)
dataline.open(audio_format);
dataline.start();
int i=0;
while((i=audio_input_stream.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length))!=-1 && flag==false)
if(i>0)
dataline.write(buffer, 0, i);
dataline.drain();
dataline.stop();
dataline.flush();
dataline=null;
dataline.close();
And also I'd like to know how to navigate through the audio file by a slider or something like that, so how much time is passed.
Thank you in advance.

I've tried to use it but I found out that if I use quite large wav files an exception is thrown, Aha! I expected as much. That is why I developed BigClip.
..so I thought to change to SourceDataLine even if Clip has the right stuff to manage my audio files. So what do you suggest? Is there a way to avoid such problem? I mean, how can I be sure that I'm able to use every wav files? Not every WAV file can be opened using SourceDataLine, but if SDL can open it, so can BigClip. -
How to play an audio file when a sprite is clicked
I am designing a Director movie in order to learn how to use the program. My question is how can I make a small audio file play when the user clicks on a sprite? I believe it is done via a small script. My second question is similar. How can I make the movie play a sound when the cursor hoovers upon a sprite? Can you help, please? Thanks in advance.
Hi Ibrahim,
Rob has pointed you to the Lingo for playing a sound. There is a behavior in the Library Palette that makes this very easy without needing to write a script yourself. In the Media > Sound category, there is a 'Play Sound' behavior. You can click and drag this behavior onto a sprite and then in the Parameters dialog, you can choose the sound to play, the channel in which it should play, the event to activate the sound, and if you want the sound to loop.

How to play an audio file through a button?
I have a form in which I have a button (Command object). When the user clicks on this command button it is supposed to play a wav file. The wav is residing in my hard disk at "C:\tada.wav"
I have tried to include the following code in the commandAction() method, which technically is the right way of performing this operation:
But I get a warning when I compile saying that this operation should be performed in a seperate thread as opposed to commandAction().
if(c == cmdPlay)
try
String wav = "file:///c:/tada.wav";
Player p = Manager.createPlayer(wav);
p.start();
catch (IOException x)
x.printStackTrace();
} catch (MediaException x) {
x.printStackTrace();
Can anyone please tell me how to implement this solution properly or just suggest a new way of creating a "play" button in my form? Urgent HELP NEEDED PLEASE!

How to play mp4 audio files as video on my iPod Touch?
I know you are all thinking that this is a stupid question based on the topic, but I have videos for some reason that are in the form of mp4 audio, but they are video when I play them on my computer. I can open these videos (mp4 audio instead of mp4 video) using Windows Media Player and it's not just audio, there is also video. However, whenever I try to sync it to my iPod, it shows up in my music section instead of videos. If i play the video under music, all I see is the white iTunes background, no video. Is there anyway for me to set these files to be recognized as video and store it under my movies category?
Thanks.First, go into Get Info and change the Media Kind on the Options tab to tell iTunes that this is a video. Next, you need to sync this item from the Video tab on your iPod detail in iTunes (i.e. don't sync it as if it was a Music item). If you sync all video content then this will happen automatically once you change the Media Kind. But if you only sync part of your video library, make sure you include this video in the sync selection.
If you still have problems, you may need to convert the video for iPod playback, even if it plays fine in iTunes. If that's the case, right-click on the video and you'll see an option to convert for iPod use, which will make a copy (so make sure you know which version to sync to the iPod, or simply delete the original). -

I bought an iTunes Royalty free song to play behind a presentation. What I have seem to have is video file not an audio file. Am I missing a step?I want to download iTunes purchases as a .wav file or other audio file. Any help would be appreciated
I understand the confusion. Those tracks are royalty free to the owner of the tracks, yes. The terms of use of the iTunes Store still state, though, that all purchases are for your own personal use and cannot be used commercially:
USAGE RULES
1. You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use.
They're probably fine for presentations in a class or to a group at your company, but you probably could not post the presentation or a video using these tracks on a public site. I'm no lawyer, though, to legally define what would and would not constitute "noncommercial". It's probably best to just buy your tracks directly from one of these sites of royalty-free music. Then the use license should be completely clear.

How to add an audio file to a link
I am working on a project using IWeb and I am trying to figure out if it is possible and then, if it is how to add an audio file to a link. I would really be glad of your help as I am having problems meeting the requirements of the project if I don't make it work.
Also, is it possible when having added a movie clip from quick time player to have the clip start as soon as the page is "opening", that is without pressing the play button?
I am waiting in great suspense to see if anybody can help me out. If you have the answers to my questions, please send me an email at [email protected] - thank you so much :o)Hi Maiken
Welcome to the discussion forums.
All you need is open iWeb, select text or image, open inspector, go to link, check the "enable as a hyperlink" box, in "link to" there's a teardown menu where you select "a file" and select the file you want to link to.
If you want to have it downloading look at [this|http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Downloads.html]
For the second question:
select the movie file in iWeb go to inspector, then to the last icon (showing the quicktime logo) and check the box that say "Autoplay".

Playing an audio file from applet
Hi friends,
I have a problem to be solved .
Please help me.
I have to play an audio file from applet.When the applet loads it shold start playing .There is a progress bar in the applet it shold alsomove corresponding to that.
How can i do that.Give me an idea.
I know nothing about jmf.
I am using j2sdk1.4,windows 2000 server.Andrew,
Forgive my naivety, but i struggle with JAVA! I am desperately trying to create a JAVA plugin to SERVOY and have to date been successful with a few things. Record, Playback, convert to .spx.
I am really struggling with implementing a rewind and fastforward function of the type you have. I thought it would be easy, but it appears not.
At the bottom is the complete code from my class that is called by the servoy plugin wrapper,
i had thought that adding some simple jump 500 ms would have been easy in something like this:
public AudioStream js_FastForward (AudioStream as) throws IOException {
!!! Line or two here to move the play head forward !!!
AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
return as;
Can you give me any pointers to how i code that fast forward bit.
many thanks
David

How do I fuse audio files together?
Hey, I'm finishing up the editing for my full-length horror feature, and currently I'm putting in the sound effects and I was trying to figure out how can I fuse audio files together?
Here's the thing, my video files are files I converted into AVIs from VOBs, only problem is that the audio disappeared from them, but my friend tried to load all my VOBs into AVIs for me since I did something wrong but when he converted them the video was gone but the audio was there...so I figured I'd just take the audio and put it in place.
Right now I have to put in a sound effect of the guy screaming while gory sounds are playing in the background, then after that I have a chainsaw scene where a woman screams, a chainsaw blases, a mechanical laughter is heard, and gory sounds are playing all together.
If you could help me figure out how to get the files to fuse together to play the sounds all together, knowing I have to change the volume for each one, that would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
-TobyAh, those scroll bars. They don't stand out, as much, as I would like. I always overlook the ones in the Share Panel, though I have used them many times.
Unfortunately, PrE has chosen an arrangement, where Audio & Video Tracks are grouped. I like the PrPro layout, where all Video Tracks are above a "centerline" and all Audio Tracks are below that.
About the closest that one can come in PrE is to use Delete Unused Tracks, to remove empty Video Tracks, or to View Video Tracks (alone), or View Audio Tracks (alone). With a combo of those, one can customize the Timeline a bit.
When cleaned up, one can then Add Tracks, for any additional Audio Tracks necessary.
If one did ONLY the View Audio, they loose the ability to refer to the Video Track, and with SFX, that is necessary, at least for me.
I like to keep each type of Audio on its own Track. That makes actions, like applying Track Keyframes, or adjustments to JUST that Clip, or Clip type. If I have SFX, music, camera Audio, and other Audio sources, I will put many SFX on their own Audio Track, the camera Audio on another, and then the music one one, or more additional Audio Tracks. Not too long ago, I had one Project with about 10 separate SFX Audio Tracks, one for a "loon," one for "crickets," three for "frogs," one for "pond ambiance," and then two for music (as I was doing faux DD 5.1 SS in PrPro), with one from Music F (front) and Music R (rear).
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt
