For Weird Harold

[bearlee]

This is going to sound a little off the wall. A college prof contacted me and wants to use the first 8 minutes of one of Dawn's audio stories for an ethics lecture. Didn't think he was serious at first, but I'm convinced he is now. His question, how do you download or burn the story to a CD(I've tried this before and I couldn't do it but I know some people have written and said they've done it and listen in their care ). Or, in the alternative, he was wondering how to do it to an MP3-don't have a clue on that one, or the first one apparently. Can it be done and if so, how. Obviously with all these college students out there waiting for this, the future of America rides on this

Doesn't Dawn have a copy of the original you could e-mail him?

I suppose the easiest way to copy a streaming Real Media file is to set a recording program to record from the Mixer Output and then play the file. That should record everything that goes to the sound card.

If it's somthing that is going to be done often, there are a couple of programs at downloads.com or one of the other shareware sites that will capture streaming audio with a bit more control over quality.

I don't download many large files -- audio or video -- so I don't know any specific program to recommend.

PS: On reflection, I do have a progam I tested for someone else that had this question. Google "Real Audio Wav Recorder" and download rawavrecorder.zip when you find it.

It's a very basic, simple-minded program that saves .RM streaming audio as a .WAV file.

Most programs that record or save audio files generlly save them as WAV files. you then need an audio editor or audio converter progrm to convert them to another, more compressed format -- like MP3.

I'll second that! I can't think of anyone with better advice when it comes to anything technical. We you, WH!

I'd really rather you didn't. I'm seriously uncomfortable with praise for something I ws raised to believe was only polite.

(Not to mention that you raise people's expectations too high and I hve trouble living up to the legend. )

Harold, you are right, and it costs nothing to be nice and sometimes it`s hard to take a compliment, but give it a shot, I think most people are happy with whatever help you can give.

Hey, thanks! No, we don't have the originals of anything. She does it the old-fashioned way-an audio cassette mailed to the site, but I read these and on the other site and it should help him-again, my thanks!

wow! that was fast!

Well Ran you were right, I should have just come here first-thanks for the suggestion

Of course you have to understand I don't understand any of this, but maybe the college prof guy can figure it out

Harold, any idea what the minimum width would be for my sig pic so people don`t have to scroll across to read posts, I thought I had got it right but apparently not. It works ok on my browser (Opera) I guess I could have a look in IE or Moz if I have to.
I know I find it bloody annoying having to scroll, so apologies to any one it has bothered.
