Does anyone know how to generate a quality .au file from an MP3 file? I followed all the detailed instructions from tech support and keep ending up with a loud hissing/scratching background noise. Neither my sound supplier's tech support (ShockWave Sound) nor the Easypano recommended conversion program (CoolEdit) produced a usable .au file.

If it is a solitary background music track you could just add the MP3 to the HTML page and set to loop. Have you tried Audacity?

There was a thread about this a while back. It could just a setting or two that are off.

Thanks,

Hey Smooth,

Thanks for the tips. Adding the track to the HTML page works with web posting but doesn't for burning to disc, unless I'm missing something. Tried Audacity. Was able to clean up some of the noise. Not a perfect solution but definitely helped. Any other thoughts?

Cheers,
Pygmy

What do you mean by saying it doesn't work for burning to disc?

Pygmy,

You can make a .mp3 web page work the same as it would on the web all you need do is set the correct path to the music file. I have covered this before a while ago. You MUST make the source folder named "fscommand" and place "all" files to be accessed in this folder (I.E Music, Flash, Images, extra HTML pages etc.)

Make a folder called CD and inside this folder create another folder called fscommand and place the .mp3 inside it. Build the html page (placed in the CD folder) and when setting the .mp3 path browse to the .mp3 file that is in the fscommand folder.

When finished burn all the files "within" the CD folder (but NOT the CD folder) to your CD/DVD.

Give it a try - it might just be the answer to your problems.

Regards, Smooth

Smooth,

Again, thanks for your insights. I'm new to the forum and unaware of your earlier coverage of this topic. I got everything you said up to where you talk about building the html page and setting the .mp3 path browse to the .mp3 file. (I'm not versed in html.) Can you spell this out a little more for me?

Cheers,
Pygmy

Err, um....

What HTML editor do you use?

If you are using Microsoft FrontPage you go to Page Properties>General Tab>Background Sound>Browse. (File type will need to be .wma not .mp3) but you can keep the same quality.

Or if you would just like the code it will look like this:

<bgsound="fscommand/music_file_name.wma" loop="-1"> and this must be placed between the <head></head> tags of the HTML document.

I.E:

<head>

<title> Panorama Page </title>

<bgsound="fscommand/music_file_name.wma" loop="-1">

</head>

<body> etc etc.

Note: This code is only good for use with Interent Explorer it will not play sound in Firefox or Opera etc.

You could overcome this by making the sound file a "Flash" file and adding it to the page. I'll cover this if you need me too later.

Regards, Smooth
