Need help with audio books

i have a few audio books on cd, when i rip them to itunes i am unable to catagorize them as an audio book. thus they show up under music in my ipod and the audio book folder remains empty. i tried creating a genre for audio books but that still leaves them listed under music. any one know how to fix that?

Only audiobooks from ITMS, audible.com and AAC files with m4b extensions (applescripts for mac) show up in audiobook main menu, skip in main menu shuffle, and allow faster/slower/normal playback speed.
Try looking thru these links for help:
Mostly PC, but there are some links to mac:

Need help with this book problem...Pig game...can ANYONE help!??

I need help with the following book problem...could someone write this code for me?? Thanks!!
First design and implement a class called PairOfDice, composed of two six-sided Die objects. Using the PairOfDice class, design and implement a class to play a game called Pig. In this game, the user competes against the computer. On each turn, the current player rolls a pair of dice and accumulates points. The goal is to reach 100 points before your opponent does. If, on any turn, the player rolls a 1, all points accumulated for that round are forfeited and control of the dice moves to the other player. If the player rolls two 1s in one turn, the player loses all points accumulated thus far in the game and loses control of the dice. The player may voluntarily turn over the dice after each roll. Therefore the player must decide to either roll again (be a pig) and risk losing points, or relinquish control of the dice, possibly allowing the other player to win. Implement the computer player such that it always relinquishes the dice after accumulating 20 or more points in any given round.
I realize this is a long code, so it would be greatly appreciated to anyone who writes this one for me, or can at least give me any parts of it. I honestly have no clue how to do this because our professor is a dumbass and just expects us to know how to do this...he doesn't teach us this stuff...don't ask. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope someone helps out!! Thank you in advance to anyone who does!!!

Nasty comments? It's not a matter of not liking you, it's a matter of responding to the
"I'ts everyone else's fault but mine" attitude of your post.
If you are genuine, the program is very easy to write, so, your Professor is correct when he said you should
be able to do it. I'm still very much in the beginner category at java, and it took me only 20 mins to write
(+5 mins to design it on paper). 2 classes in one file < 100 lines. Most of the regulars here would do it in half the time / half the lines.
All of the clues are in the description, break them down into their various if / else conditions. Write it down on paper.
Have a go. Try to achieve something. Post what you've tried, no-one will laugh at you, and you will be
pleasanty surprised at the level of help you will get when you've "obviously" made some effort.
Again, have a go. If you don't like problem-solving, then you don't like programming. So, you gotta ask
yourself - "what am I doin' here?"

Help with audio books on CDs please

Please be gentle, I'm totally new to the ipod phenomenon and itunes etc.
Just got a new ipod touch and want to put my previously purchased Harry Potter audio cd's on to it to listen to. Trouble is when I do that it classes them as music rather than putting them in the audio book section of the ipod. Now it's not a huge problem but it really is quite irritating. I object to paying the extortionate rate on itunes for something I've already got so don't want to download them again.
Is there a way of changing the way itunes recognises my cds to class it as an audio book and if so is there a way of combining the 7+ cd's for each book together so that it becomes just 1 book rather than having them as seperate cd's called the same thing? (hope I'm making sense here!)
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.

Take another look. The Aldoblog isn't really complicated. The summary of items to note
- You can reduce your file size by going to preferences/advanced/import and changing to 32kps (more details in the blog). Not necessary, but will save you lots of space.
- You want to joint the cd tracks to limit the number of files. Highlight all the tracks, and select join tracks from the advanced menu. You do this each time you import a disk, and end up with one track for each CD.
- Once you've got all your disks read in, then select the tracks to get info (you can right click). Under options, select "remember playback position". That way when you only have to remember which disk you last played.
I create a playlist for each audio book.

Need help with audio...

Hi,
I need some help with an audio issue...a deep, buzzing sound which is so dominant, i can barely hear the rest
the situation:
older VHS tape (about 10 years) - i know some of you just cringed the video quality isn't the greatest, but not the worst. the audio is terrible.
transferred with my canopus av300 to my mac (g4 d1.25) - no issues
using FCP 4.5
i tried the AUGraphicEQ and since it was so deep, i reduced the following to 0:
800
6300
8000
reducing anything else doesn't seem to work
i've also tried cleaning in soundsoap both before using the AUGraphicEQ and after. If i clean it with SSoap before AUGraphicEQ, it sounds far better than the original track, but a low buzz is still present. using the EQ again doesn't seem to do much.
the camerawork was done on a tripod about 30 yds back. no mikes were used either. just the camera capturing both a/v.
Any thoughts on anything else to try? Any other filters? I fear the buzz is just with the main sound and no chance of completely killing it.
I can email someone a small sample file for them to play with if you like.
i'm really at my wits end b/c i would like to ensure i give the client as best i can (the other option would be to send the tape to a colleague's audio expert, but the price is something my client doesn't want to pay
Cheers,
Keebler

Got SoundTrack Pro? It will perform miracles with getting rid of unwanted sound. It's a matter of isolalating a few frames of the sound where no one is talking, and then using a simple command to remove that sound by itself from the entire audio track.
There is a possibilty that the Hum remover in FCP 4.5 might help...

Help with audio book, PLEASE!!

I have purchased an audio book form ITunes and whenever I quit the book and go back it never restarts where I left off.
Help

Are you leaving your iPod off long enough for it to do a soft reset -- apple logo showing?
If that is the case, will loose current bookmark upon automatic soft reset when left off for times that vary by iPod. You can force the bookmark by leaving the audiobook and going to a song.
Otherwise, try a soft reset (hold menu and center button simultaneously until apple logo appears on display).
Just to be sure, do a right click, show file to see if m4b extension.
Try downloading some free content from somewhere and see if those bookmark. i.e., http://www.learnoutloud.com/Free-Audio-Video/Biography/Autobiography/The-Autobio graphy-of-Benjamin-Franklin/18190
be sure to chose mp4 download of this Franklin autobiography
All else fails, a hard reset.

Best of luck!

Need help with audio transfer!

I'm having problems with audio in idvd. The problem is with clips that were pasted into an imovie project from a different imovie project. The idvd preview seemed fine, but when I burned my disk, the audio associated with the pasted clips was inaudible. The same problem occurred with clips that I had "shared" as a quicktime movie and then imported into idvd. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm a total amateur!

Need help with EVENT BOOKING: option for multiple, payment (pay pal standard or pro only) add cost, etc

Hello!
I'm at my wits end: please help! It seems straight forward, and I sold my client on BC thinking this was doable in the events module, but it seems maybe not so without a ton of custom coding.
1. Book an event online,
with option for multiple (say 1-5 people at a fixed cost per person),
and checkout using only Pay Pal (standard or pro, doesn't matter, but I think Standard won't work without shopping cart).
2. The events are every day but Sunday all year long (just admission to an attraction), so is there a way to upload months in advance so they don't have to be manually entered?
I'm so grateful for any assistance.

This is all very achievable:
• Events you can add multiple people to book.
• PayPal you use use our APP that's in the BC Appstore (Liam to confirm is works with bookings)
I'm sales and marketing at Pretty, so I'm not the person to advise on how all this fits together. But I'm sure Liam can point you in the right direction.
If you need some consulting or us to do it for you just let me know [email protected]

Need help with audio portion of iDVD

I have added a playlist from iTunes to a slideshow. When I play it on slideshow, all music in the slideshow is played. However, when I export to iDVD and play back the slideshow, only the first song plays. The rest of the slideshow has no music playing once the first song ends. Help! Thank you!

Hi jMoose and welcome to the forums!
My bet is that the audio tracks that won't transfer to iDVD are purchased tracks in iTunes rather than from your own CDs?
If so what you are up against is DRM copy protection. The workaround is to burn a CD in iTunes of those tracks you need, then re-import them from that CD into iTunes and save them as AIFF files.
Then iDVD will use them with a smile!

Need help with audio on button ASAP THANKS!

Hi,
Using CS3 I added via properties audio to the "over" part of a gold button. The audio I added is 4Mb in size which I had imported to the library. When I selected "over" on the button and then using properties assigned the audio file .... the wave form appeared ... but not under "over" but over, down and hit. Thus when I publish what is happening is the page loads fine ... the audio begins to play on roll over as wanted ...
HERES THE GLITCH: if you accidently roll over again a new audio begins to play out of sync with the first one ... basically you get the row, row row your boat effect where each roll over audio is delayed.
MY FAILED SOLUTION: I tried to move the audio file and assign it via properties under hit. Thus have to have someone click on the sound. Yet the same outcome happend where the wave form appeared not just under hit but it showed on over, down and hit. The same thing happened when I tried assigning to "down".
MY QUESTIONS:
Is this caused by the sound file being too big? I tried a small audio beed and it would assign directly under the part I assigned but not with the bigger 4MB audio file.
If it is the size of the sound file, can I link the button to an external audio file. If so, what code would I use if I am using Action Script 2.0. I am very new at action script.
If it is not the size, could some one please tell me how to fix this glitch. I would be satisfied with the button working on either over or hit. If you wish to see what the button is doing, you can see it online at www.signaturehill.com.
THANKS.

Hi Erika,
That might just be what I need ... but I am confused as to where do put the action code. Can you help me with the following questions:
1. Did you put it inside the button via actionscript or did you select the button just and ad it there ... or somewhere else? Since I have several buttons doing the same thing on different pages, I am not sure where to put it.
2. What was the exact code you used ie on (release) {.... StopAllSounds(); } .... did you even use "release" or some other mouse event.
Please include the action script code I might try since I am very new to scripting. THANK YOU>

I need help with audio in my Premiere Pro edit

I recently recorded a gameplay with a song track in it. In the beginning of my video, i did a voiceover explaining what the video was going to be about. When im talking, i want to lower the song, then raise the volume when im done talking. How can i do this? If i need to be more specific let me know. Thanks!

OK, assuming that the gameplay audio with the song is on audio track one and the voiceover is on audio track two.
All you have to do is to keyframe track one to lower the volume while you are talking and raise it bak to normal when you finish speaking. It is pretty simple.
