"Mr. Dude, How can I add some MP3 music to my site?"
Flash imports MP3 files directly, but I recommend you use WAV files for quicker
export speed and to avoid overcompression. I use Winamp do to my MP3 to WAV conversions.
Open the file you want in Winamp, go Ctrl+P and under Plugins > Output, select
"Disk Writer." Select the output drive.**After you're done, remember to
change it back to "Winamp Wave Out Plugin" or all the MP3s you'll try to play
from then on will be converted to WAVs!
"Mr Dude, once I convert an MP3 to a WAV, the file size is HUGE! What's up
with that?"
An MP3 is basically a WAV that's been compressed up to 10 times or more.
Naturally, when you decompress it, it'll get bigger. To cut out the loop you want, try CoolEdit, Goldwave, or SoundForge.
"Mr. Dude, whenever I try importing MP3s (and sometimes WAVs), I get the
error message 'One or more files were not imported because there were
problems reading them.' What's up with that?
This will usually happen if you have the file open in another application, such as Media
Player, Winamp, or your sound editor. Make sure your other programs don't have any
files open and try again. If the problem doesn't go away, either log off or reboot and you
shouldn't have any trouble.
"Mr. Dude, what music did you use in your site's Version 3 Intro?"
1) Antiloop's
"Believe".
2) Black Sabbath's "Time Machine" (taken from the Wayne's World Soundtrack).
3) BBG's "Let The Music Play".
The BBG MP3 may be hard to track down. I also haven't been able to find their
website. However, if you want MP3s, I recommend WinMX.
"What about the 'Lucasfilm Letter'
intro?"
1) Crystal Method's "Keep Hope Alive".
2) BBE's "Flash".
3) Rammstein's "Tier."
"And in the 'Summer
of 2000' teaser?"
1) Tekara featuring Lucy Cotter: "Breathe In You",
2) Sunflower: "Cold Turkey".
"How about the September
2000 teaser?"
Dream Wave's "Lift Off".
"What'd you use for "The
Dough?"
A few clips from AK1200's "Lock and Roll" and Dieselboy's "System
Upgrade."
"What music did you use for the Any
Given Sunday Flash piece?"
Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba". The opening and finishing clips are mixtures of
a few songs Warner provided me with; I have no idea what their titles were. Don't even think
about hacking the SWF, though-- the music is extremely copyrighted.
