Don't trust Nero running times! / 100 Most Popular LJ Users / Quizzes

After some discussion with Corey on plugins and .wav files, I finally managed to save all the Seattle Phone Pranks tracks to my desktop. I also managed to burn the CD without incident, so that's a good thing. :D


Nero running times and Condoleeza Rice are absolute crap!

[16:50:03] Corey: you can use Winamp to make .wav files of it all.. just go to preferences, options, and then in the output plugins, pick the wave out thingie, and give it a place to save them to. then it'll make wav files :P then put those wav files in Nero
[16:50:15] Corey: or just download an mp32wav converter thingamajig
[16:50:33] Corey: maybe Nero just sucks balls at converting stuff
[16:50:39] Corey: I know it's not great for converting video
[17:05:47] Flami: Industrial Strength Bootine ;): yeah, I know I have double the length, which is weird!
[17:06:41] Corey: .wav files are the only thing you can put on an audio CD
[17:06:58] Corey: Nero probably took some time to work or whatever before it added those files, right?
[17:07:03] Corey: it was converting to .wav
[17:07:23] Corey: if you add your own .wav files, it'll just add them, no conversion needed
[17:08:55] Corey: have you tried just doing it over again?
[17:09:21] Corey: they're really low quality mp3s (which is okay for this stuff) and sometimes things aren't set up to handle or even play stuff like that
[17:09:25] Corey: for some reason
[17:09:32] Corey: so maybe Nero just messes up because of that
[17:09:34] Flami: but who's to say the .wav files I add myself won't run into the same problem?
[17:09:36] Corey: I dunno
[17:09:55] Corey: because the .wav files will be the same length that Winamp says... and won't need to be converted...
[17:10:20] Flami: all right, let's see..
[17:16:14] Flami: yup.. same thing
[17:18:34] Corey: do you have rewritable discs? if you do, try burning it and see if that even works
[17:18:43] Corey: but don't waste normal discs on that :P
[17:20:37] Flami: I don't think I do, no..
[17:21:09] Flami: okay... I'm at the Winamp thing
[17:21:27] Flami: but I can only configure the plugins
[17:31:08] Corey: just double click it, say okay or whatever, and that's the one you're using now
[17:31:16] Corey: change it back to DirectSound when you're done
[17:31:34] Corey: oh.. actually it's not the wave out one
[17:31:41] Corey: it's Nullsoft Disk Writer
[17:31:55] Corey: wave out just plays the music :P the DirectSound one is better
[17:37:21] Flami: oh, okay
[17:37:49] Corey: waveout does output .wav :P to your speakers
[17:38:01] Corey: mp3 players convert to .wav so you can hear it :P
[17:38:34] Flami: I think the Nero running times are absolute crap
[17:39:02] Flami: why does it sound muted? bleh
[17:40:49] Corey: why does what sound muted? if you're playing them with the diskwriter on, you shouldn't even hear it until you turn it back to DirectSound or WaveOUt
[17:42:29] Flami: the sound on my computer
[17:42:43] Flami: and it wants me to overwrite stuff.
[17:48:39] Corey: well, if you push Play, it just writes the file... if you play it twice, that file is already there
[17:49:51] Flami: now my desktop looks almost as cluttered as Nathan's! yay! :P
[17:50:20] Flami: so can I change it back to whatever I was using before?
[17:51:21] Corey: I already told you to switch it back to DirectSound when you were done :P
[17:51:30] Corey: same menu where you found the diskwriter thing
[17:51:34] Corey: in the same list
[17:52:33] Flami: test
[17:54:27] Corey: icles
[18:09:58] Flami: COREY
[18:22:49] Corey: icles
[18:28:17] Flami: aiya
[18:28:55] Flami: there is no way I am making you into Popsicles :P
[18:31:13] Flami: hey, it works!
[18:44:34] Flami: 75:37, whee! :D
[19:03:25] Corey: so since you're making the CD, does that mean you got the money for that?
[19:13:42] Flami: yeah, I got it on Monday
[19:14:41] Corey: Monday? your service is slow :P I'd get it out the next day :P
[19:20:35] Flami: I plan to get it out tomorrow :P
[19:48:38] Corey: "I believe the title was 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States' "
[19:49:12] Corey: that's always funny :P that plays at the start of Ministry's song The Great Satan. it's a clip of Condoleeza Rice saying that...
[19:49:25] Corey: they ask her if she knew there would be attacks... of course not!!
[19:49:32] Corey: oh, but didn't you get a report about that?
[19:49:39] Corey: well, yeah... but it didn't tell us much...
[19:49:43] Corey: what was it called?
[19:50:00] Corey: "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Within the United States"
[20:01:27] Flami: oh geez.. you'd think they'd know... aiya
[20:08:29] Corey: that lady is evil
[20:08:39] Corey: and she has a dumb name
[20:16:18] Flami: yeah, I can't say I've ever known someone with that name... mind you, my friend Jessica Lai's mom is named Colosander, which is something entirely different
[20:18:40] Corey: does she constantly look incredibly pissed off?
[20:24:32] Flami: not that I can recall, no...
[20:43:47] Corey: well, this one does


I emailed Chinese Eric about a Saturday hangout: sounds fine to me if he's still up for it!
