It worked. Thanks!

Hans P.,

I’m having trouble trying to download your attachment. Maybe it disappeared when the Lounge went down? Would you or someone else please reattach it?

Thank you!

I used PDF X-Change Viewer today to highlight a document. Just in case you were wondering which of these apps could do that.

Hi Alan,

I could download the installation file too. Thanks!

Edited to modify the subject: my post is not about combining Audio CD Image Files but about joining Audio Files

Two more alternatives:

1) Why not use playlists? For example: http://www.assistanttools.com/articles/m3u…st_format.shtml%5B/url%5D. I guess most music software such as Winamp allow for creating m3u playlists from a menu.

2) I believe this solution will work only for MP3- (and not WMA-) encoded tracks. Say you have a folder with:

Track01.mp3
Track02.mp3
…
Track10.mp3

If you have Winzip installed (probably any other archive manager with similar characteristics will do), right click on Track01.mp3, then select “add to zip file”. When prompted, set compression to “none”. Then click “Add”. Then, in order, add Track02.mp3, Track03.mp3, …, Track10.mp3, every time setting compression to none.

Finally, rename the resulting Track01.zip to e.g. FullAlbum.mp3, the complete album ready to play.

BTW, I recall having read this solution in the Lounge some years back.

HTH

I tend to agree with Joe here.

A possible exception, however, may be when your zipped PDF slightly exceeds the Lounge’s 100 KB upload limit. There a few less KB can make the difference!
Either there or to reduce the chance of meeting your hosting’s periodic BW usage limit, in case your site has many many visitors.

I’ll second doPDF! It is the only one I’ve found that faithfully understands the page/ paper size of the original document.

[/indent]Well, I’ve struggled with that nuisance too. Not sure I’ve arrived to a satisfactory solution, so I’ll keep an eye out for doPDF too.

No GhostScript – doesn’t require 3rd party programs to do PDF files (like GhostScript). This makes the setup file to be incredibly small compared to other free PDF converters.

[/indent]Indeed, at 1.35 MB it is small

Hi ibe98765,

Thank you for your comments! They are most valuable. I hadn’t thought it would be a good idea to reduce spam.

Hi ibe98765,

Many people have suggested that I use FireFox (that’s what FF stands for, right?). I will probably give it a try sometime soon.

Now what I don’t quite like about RSS is that checking for alerts is a complete task itself. I’m currently subscribed to one RSS feed from one forum. What I would ideally like is receive notifications via e-mail, but since the ones in this forum are so bad (the poorly descriptive, bare “there’s a new post” kind), and given there are no digest options as yet, I decided to give RSS a go.

But instead of being reminded via e-mail that I should check a certain subforum, I am required to regularly check my RSS reader. This is a behavioural change I’m not willing to accept. Am I missing something? Is there a way to configure RSS readers to shoot e-mail notifications embedding the feed content? Asking too much?

I guess once you subscribe to many feeds from different forums, checking your reader should become second nature, as is to check mail. But, if possible, I’d stick to status quo for the moment.

Thanks for your responses!

Hi Joe,

Thanks for RSS Bandit. As for your configuration, I have neither OL2007 nor IE7. I’m using OL2000 (time for a change!) and IE6 at home.

Cool tip. Thanks!

Hello there,

Anyone using phpbb3 at the moment? Other people and I have recently launched a phpbb forum site and it would be great to know that there’s more people here to exchange comments as needs arise. Our most important challenge at current is to improve the notifications system, which we find awkward.

Regards,

I agree. The attached shows the create folder icon for PD4. Last time I installed PD6 it overrode PD4’s settings (presumably using the same registry keys), so I won’t try to install it again, but I’m sure it must be there.

Did I say complete?

Thanks!

Thanks, Tony!

I think this was the only piece left — now my PDF toolkit is complete
