Jingles with ZaraRadio

2005-11-17 Thread Steve Matzura
Jingles aren't any different in ZaraRadio than they are anywhere else--they're simply short MP3 (or WAV or OGG or WMA) files that contain--well--jingles. The thing is, to get them into ZaraRadio will take a little bit of doing. The manual says the quickest and easiest way to do it is to select a

No, converting the files is not an absolute necessity. What that gives you is the ability to edit the intro and cue points. The editor is pretty accessible, but there are things on it that aren't explained very well so you have to kind-of hack at it to get things just right.

Strange Stream Problem

I have a file that is essentially an archive of a stream--what you get if you enable archiving in the Shoutcast plugin for Winamp. There are other encoders which can be used, and I am reasonably sure that the Shoutcast plug-in was not the one used to create this particular archive file. Here's
