Ottawa Canada Thank you to the many friends and acquaintances from the list who offered to try my hair-brained idea of playing Voice Message.wav files on their Mpowers.
I didn't need everyone who volunteered, so offered rain cheques to the ones I didn't use. OK here's the low down: GSM encoded, compressed voice files will not play on the Mpower. However, non-GSM encoded, uncompressed files do play. But man are they big compared to the GSM encoded and compressed kind! We also ran into at least one situation where the recipient's mail system treated the attached .wav file as in-line content and put it in the body of the cover message! This also happened to a sighted friend of mine on two of the four or five e-mail systems he uses. Is there a practical use for this information? At the moment no, unless you are going to distribute digital sound recordings to Mpower owners, but it is interesting to know and may stimulate product development in future. Again thank you so much to everyone who offered to help. Brian -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
