Hi Curtis, May I please ask you if you know how to break up a single mp3 file by permanent track markers using a program like Wave Pad? Do you recommend another simpler, more accessible, oh and yes not to expensive product for doing this? Thanks, Johnny Chilelli

I would use mp3 direct cut, not wave pad because wave pad or any other editor takes the *.mp3 and makes it a *.wav file again, so you need to re-encode. Mp3 direct cut handles the mp3 directly. Do your editing in studio recorder or your favorite sound editor before making the *.mp3 files. on

Hi Rob, If you want to put that accented character in, try putting numlock on, then hold down the left alt key and whilst holding down the left alt key type 0246 then release the alt key. Remember to turn numlock off after you have done all of that. David Truong. Email: blindbo...@gmail.com

Hello List Members, I will add, that if you wish to make an mp3 file in Wave Pad, here is how to do it. After you've made your recording, do a control plus shift plus the letter s. If you're using JFW, you will hear JFW say, save as dialog, combo box wave *.wav. One of twenty. You can use

After saving an NLS book on your computer or removable storage, when you want to read the book again, all you have to do is put it back on a medium that will fit into the NLS player. And there's nothin' wrong with that; it's a pretty nice player. HT - Original Message - From: DJ

How about you hitch your player up to the lnie in on your sound card. Set the thing as fast as it'll go and record it with some software. Then use some software to manipulate it--get it back to normal speed. Of course, you could record it at normal speed but it would take a lot longer. When

I should mention that manipulating the NLS content so that it can be played on a device not authorized for it, especially getting it into mp3 format, is a violation of your agreement with NLS. You need to be careful not to do that, and also not to give out ways and means to others. It will hurt
