[mythtv-users] Best way to listen to long spoken-word audio files

[Steve Wilson]

You could use something like lives.sourceforge.net to create a video. Just use Gimp to create a blank frame then read that into lives and then import your audio and then save it as a .avi or .mpeg and then you could use mythvideo. Not ideal but then again not a very difficult work around.

I 
have 
a 
few 
long 
(30 
minute 
or 
60 
minute) 
mp3s, 
which 
are 
radio 
programs 
which 
I 
have 
previously 
nuvexported. 
What 
is 
the 
best 
way 
to 
listen 
to 
these 
in 
Myth, 
giving 
me 
the 
ability 
to 
skip 
through 
them, 
just 
as 
I 
can 
with 
TV 
recordings 
using 
the 
Internal 
player?

I've 
tried 
playing 
them 
via 
Mythmusic, 
but 
the 
UI 
isn't 
a 
good 
fit 
for 
these 
types 
of 
audio 
files. 
I 
can 
rewind 
and 
fast 
forward 
using 
PgUp/PgDn 
but 
for 
a 
long 
recording 
that's 
not 
as 
good 
as 
the 
up/down/left/right 
skipping 
of 
10 
mins/30secs/5secs 
that 
I 
get 
for 
TV 
recordings.

I've 
tried 
playing 
them 
via 
Mythvideo, 
but 
the 
internal 
player 
doesn't 
want 
to 
play 
mp3s.

I 
could 
try 
an 
external 
player, 
but 
which 
one? 
I 
would 
rather 
not 
have 
to 
configure 
another 
player 
for 
LIRC, 
and 
have 
a 
mismatch 
of 
on-screen 
UI, 
but 
if 
that's 
the 
only 
good 
solution 
I'll 
try 
it.

Alternatively, 
is 
there 
a 
way 
of 
creating 
an 
AVI 
or 
similar 
from 
an 
mp3, 
so 
that 
I 
could 
play 
it 
with 
Mythvideo 
Internal 
player? 
Or 
would 
a 
different 
audio 
format 
be 
any 
better?

What 
do 
other 
people 
do 
with 
long 
non-music 
audio 
files, 
such 
as 
radio 
programs 
or 
audio 
books?

Cheers,

John
