  • Link to sound sample

    I heard it is possible to link to a sound sample when posting. Doesn anyone knows anything about it ?

    So that it plays in the post?

      We know how to do it, we just choose not to.
      Why would you want to do something as anti-social as that?

      Zip it and attach it: That way people who want it can get it, people who don't...

        i was rather hoping for a "play" button to appear in the post. And I dont consider it antisocial if it can be stopped at will by the reader. Can it be stopped by the user ?

          I don't think so, and even if it could, you'd have to find the post with the link and stop it. If several people have attached links it becomes a God-awful din.

            And forces *everyone* to download it. 56k'er will find the thread unviewable.

              People still use those archaic connections?

                ok... but you're still limited to a small sample, seeing the max size of downloadable files, thats why it would be easier to link

                    Or the picture thread that turned into the gay thread. And then someone went and stuck "Dancing Queen" in there.

                    It's possible to do it with a play/stop button, but I'm not going to divulge any information.

                      Yes. Although I gave up that nasty habit a long time ago.

                      Thanks Ix.

                      I'm guessing it has been a long time since you were last forced to use a 56k connection. Those modems struggle to donwload text webpages. A "small" sample would absolutely kill them.

                        Anyone linking to sound samples should be permabanned. I hate it when there comes unasked for noise out of my speakers

                          MIDI files are incredibly tiny (just a couple of kb). And who can't resist wacky synsethised versions of popular songs? But still, I could see how the unwanted noise could get annoying.

                          edit: If you missed it, I stuck a midi of Devo's "Whip It" in my last post, but after a while decided it might be best if i edited it out. Though I might bring it back with popular request.
