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)

Our wings are not tired

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?

All is well that ends in pizza.

It might work Connie.

You might see if there is a firmware update for the burnere, or a software update for the burning software.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

audacity.sourceforge.net

I run it on all 3 OSes and it's good to me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nero in general isn't proprietary, but when it ships with a drive, I think they tie it to that model.

hip deep in pie

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

We have PCs. So Audacity should work?
