Windows Media Player HELP!

Scoman16 · Post by **Scoman16** » April 16, 2003 9:00 pm

Sorry if this topic is in the wrong forum, but....

With the lousy sounding feed lately on RM through Real Audio, I've attempted WMP. However, every time I play it seems to "skip" (like its buffering but I don't see any buffering message), especially with Totalrecorder running. It is inaudible.

Do any of you more 'puter literate folks have any suggestions with how to rectify this?

I've tried have two browsers open; tried changing the Totalrecorder settings...I'm thinking that I'm outta options and will be disappointed if I can't get any shows from this leg of the tour...

I listened with windows media most of last night, but about half-way through the show i lost it and i got a media player error. Maybe RM is having problems with the windows media conncection.

I just connected using windows media with no problem and it sounded great. Maybe you'll get it worked out by tommorrow night.

If you open or close or Minimize or Maximize a window, you get that click with WMP

Thanks gumby....I've noticed that, too....

Seems that I may have fixed the WMP problem, or so it seems, now I can't get totalrecorder to work with WMP....

I sure hope they fix that real audio feed soon!!!!

I dont have total recorder. I record any audio streams with a program called cool edit pro. I also use it for recording my own music that I create. I dont know what you can do on total recorder, but with programs like cool edit, you can delete the gaps, change the amplification, fade in/out, heck even put reverb on the whole thing. My sound card software (audigy 2) also has an audio stream recorder, but I was not satisfied with the way those recordings sounded.

Last night was my first attempt and I have Xp. Sounded great and worked with Total Recorder perfectly, except for the drop that everybody seemed to have suffererd. XP seems to be the way to go.
