Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I have a question about editing MP3s. Beau wants to create MP3s from some CDs where the artists don't have clean breaks between songs. I.e. the songs flow between the song breaks and he needs to edit the mp3s so that the songs have clean breaks.
He does not want to do anything illegal, btw. He's making mixed CDs for his car.
Anyone recommend any good mp3 editing software? Free is preferable, but if he has to, he will pay for such.
ND recommended "audacity" to me, and it worked quite well for me--I was taking out bits in the middle of a song. (Edit: I think you can get it at audacity.com, but if you google, you should find it)
Yes, audacity is a good little freebie on OS X.
Are you on Mac or PC?
re: CD burners.
I have an external HP CD-Writer Plus. It worked beautifully once, but now it's refusing to write files. I'm using the DLA software that HP provides, on Win98SE. It goes through the Formatting step fine, but it won't copy files.
Would Nero would on this drive or is it proprietary?
It might work Connie.
You might see if there is a firmware update for the burnere, or a software update for the burning software.
audacity.sourceforge.net
I run it on all 3 OSes and it's good to me.
Billytea is trying to connect to my wireless network and is being asked for my network key or WEP key, which I am never asked for, and is not any of my passwords. Where would I find it? I have Mac OS 10.3.6.
eta: Nevermind. My alternate tech support came online.
The Nero version we have is proprietary to the TDK drive it came with. Fortunately, the TDK drive is now sitting in Hubby's machine and burns CDs with joy and aplomb. I'll fuss with the HP when I feel techy again. Thanks!
Nero in general isn't proprietary, but when it ships with a drive, I think they tie it to that model.
I'm working on an Access database of a ceramics collection. I want to insert a small image of each piece into a form, so that it can be seen with the full catalogue record. However, I've been having trouble getting the OLE object to insert itself as an image, not a package. I've tried inserted it as both an embedded object, and a link. I've tried different file associations for the image files. I'm lost and ready to admit defeat. Does anyone have any suggestsions? I'm running Access 2003 on XP.
