It wants to see a file called '_dirname.talk' in the folder. That _dirname file contains the name of the folder in MP3 format. One of the rockbox programmers has released a script to create these _dirname.talk files automatically see http://joerg.hohensohn.bei.t-online.de/archos/speech/mp3ClipGen.vbs to get that script and http://www.mp3-tech.org/software/encoders/lamewin32.exe to get the lame executable which it requires. Install lame, copy lame.exe and the mp3clipgen.vbs script you get from the first link above to the same directory, then run the mp3clipgen.vbs script. You will be asked to enter the folder where all your music is stored. Enter the path to your jukebox (make sure it's connected). That is, if your jukebox is drive letter J:, enter 'j:\' and hit enter. The script should, in a few minutes, give you a success message. Disconnect the jukebox and reboot it as usual. You'll need to set the voice directories option alluded to above to while hovering or on enter, depending on whether you want your directories spoken when you enter them with play or right arrow, or as you hover over them. To get names or numbers spelled or spoken for your files, you need only set the "voice files" option in the voice submenu of the general settings submenu off the main menu to either spell or numbers. Your files, as you go through them with the arrows, will either have their names spelled or numbers spoken for them. _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-09-01 Page was last modified "Mon Nov 16 10:57:21 2020" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
