Re: audio Mac-Windows

Hi Ray, Fuzzy and Joseph,

>Hello there looking at the file properties for the wave file in question,  it appears the file is a 2 channel 11.25 KHZ file Let me throw a couple things at you here,  the download speed even on my fast connection only averaged about 5.8 KBPS down,  Imagine that on a dial-up Arghghghgh! 

I tired converting the file to 8 khz but it shortened the file to 3 seconds instead of 2 minutes so trashed that one but maybe I did something wrong.

This file is both music and speaking so I assume I need to keep it up higher than 8Khz??

I tried the .au file as Fuzzy suggested but that's just as big and takes forever to load but if I can find a way to cut it down I'll use this one.

>Can the clients Webtv box support MP3 or as we are dealing with a speech file can you cut the sampling rate to 8 KHZ Mono? 

According to Webtv support they can only play Windows files or Real Audio.  I have a Mac and can't afford to buy RealAudioPlus right now. So I may not be able to provide a file he can hear--so I'm just trying to get a decent file that anyone on anything but a Mac can hear.

Does anyone have more suggestions?

Thanks to all who tried to help.
