You just know this is going to go wrong...

Peace envoy Tony Blair who brought chaos to the Middle East is now in charge of global warming...

It wants me to authorize my computer (using your .mac account) to play it. Besides, how'd you make it in here through the cobwebs and dust bunnies?

[keymaker]

Oh dear - I hope you don't mean .Mac literally because I suspended my account some time ago having discovered a fraud by Apple on my credit card accounts. As it happens the sound file is hosted at Photobucket but I guess there could be some local dust and cobwebs getting in the way of it playing on the internets.

I've found that recording it as music file (AIFF) to a CD-RW and then using Quicktime or Sound Converter to export it as mp3 or mp4 usually strips the copy protection from the file.

[Michael]

That last one you posted did work, but where'd it go?

[keymaker]

Hello Michael! I'm over here! Actually the video file was taking ages to load on my system so I deleted it as being too anti-social. Didn't you have the same problem?

[Michael]

It was 24.5 MB. It did take a couple of minutes to load.

The file was a conversion from YouTube which is a long way around but for some reason uploaded YT links aren't playing here for some reason - do you know anything about that?

[Michael]

Hmmm... The file you posted then removed played fine for me. Maybe simply posting the link to the YouTube page/file would work?

[keymaker]

Okay, well the reason I went the long way round was because when i use a YT link the player renders on my screen alright but then disappears into edit mode when I position the pointer to play --->


So does it work alright for you?

The embed works fine for me. Do you have the latest Flash Player installed? I had to reply here because the "Reply to This" is hidden by the YT player.

[keymaker]

Thanks! I'm gonna have to check my flash player!

I thought I heard noises in here. What are you two doing in here? I had this place all closed up and locked; I got tired of keeping it clean when no one was using it!
