A beta version of a windows script (requires SAPI5) that voices files and/or folders (depending on how you configure it) can be grabbed here: http://mysite.verizon.net/Brian.Wolven/Rockbox/voiceBox.zip I can't guarantee this will work for everyone yet. I'd appreciate feedback from anyone who tries it; you may want to keep the logfiles and send them to me if you get errors, or post them here if they are short enough. I would recommend running it on only a few files or folders at the start - folders are processed recursively, so don't run it on the root of your drive as a "test"! Pick a single album or artist, or just run it on playlists and config files, as I've done. It works fine for me, but Jörg got some errors that I *think* I've resolved now (I guess he must sleep sometimes - go figure). A few more data points would be helpful! Oh - and verizon webspace can be flaky, so if the URL doesn't work, please just try again later. Bonne chance and all that... _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-10-10 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
