Our forum home page MP3 player

[Chris Alpiar]

Hey everyone, I have agreed (for triple scale!) to help out a little with maintenance on the forum when i have some spare moments and I am going to be selecting my favorite pieces from among your pages and adding 1 or 2 to the composers forum home page. If you have strong preference as to a couple of your pieces you would prefer be showcased, please IM me.

:)

It seems I cannot download mp3s from this site in a way that would let me re-upload them on the home page, so I am sending out a global mail asking for you to submit them to me directly and I will upload that way.

Thanks!

[Chris Alpiar]

OK Please attach your MP3s to this thread! I will delete them from here as MP3s as soon as i get them and put them on the home page player :)

[Chris Merritt]

Yo. It's probably because your browser has an app set up as the default handler for mp3 files. If you delete that association, it should then just ask you where you want to save them. Maybe.

Chris:

did you get the two I sent ?

If not, here they are again ...

[Chris Alpiar]

I deleted .mp3 in file types but it still tries to open in quicktime, weird...

[Bob Safir]

Chris: Now I've re-sent them using this forum...let me know if you still can't upload.
Thnx,
Bob

UPDATE: ok i am able to save peoples mp3s if they have "allow download" checked when uploading. So I will be making rounds and randomly grabbing mp3s and including them in the home player. If you do not have downloading checked please contact me here or in a private message to have ytour stuff included. Also as we are getting larger i might need to limit it to 1 piece each, i will do my best to make a good choice:)

Hi,
I'm the newbie here and have a question. I tried to upload a few mp3's. They seem to slow down. Can the player handle 48khz samplerate versus the 44.1khz? Or do I have to convert all my files?

Thanks
Frank

[Chris Alpiar]

Hi Frank, indeed your MP3s that you want played on the flash player must be 44.1kHz. =(

[Frank Sehr]

Thanks Chris,
I will convert when I have time. What do you recommend? Audacity?

[Chris Alpiar]

if you want a stand alone converter tool, the industry best is Media Cleaner(mac or pc), also for (i think) audio only files and on PC only Sound Forge has a program called Batch Converter that is really nice also. I am mostly working in Cubase now instead of DP and Pro Tools so in cubase there are export audio mixdown features to do it not in real time, so i can dump my mix to wav then mp3 then aif etc etc and its really fast. I hear from Ron Pease and the studio crew downstairs that on the new Pro Tools there are options to bounce to disc without real time playback now also. But for converting one file to other/many format(s) Media Cleaner is definately the way to go :) Hope this helps!
