Yes, I have not seen any games not working if the mp3's are left out, you just don't get any background music.

You should have a 100 MHz Pentium at least to play back MP3´s in sufficient quality (i.e. without gaps while playback). Mind however that if you want to do something else on your computer while listening to MP3´s - or if you want to use PlugIns - a 100 MHz will not be enough !

You need a MP3 player ! Famous software players are WinAMP or K-jöfol -these are the two players that have the least need in CPU power. See the MPeX.net Software section for the best software players currently available. Furthermore there are hardware devices on the market to play back MP3´s - portables, stand alones and car devices updated weekly.

I usually recommend going into a electronics store that sells MP3 players and ask for one with a car kit. It will be a player with an attachment that plugs into your cassette player allowing you to play through your car system.

Necronomicon, like most conventions, offers a number of games, both tabletops and freeforms, from a range of categories. Most conventions will include some horror, science fiction, fantasy, and comedy. Some games will be run using a particular games system, although players rarely need to have rules knowledge, and others will be systemless.

Download disk images (e.g. .dsk, .nib, .2mg files) and use these as virtual disks to play the games on a PC or Mac via Apple II or Apple IIgs emulator software. Popular Apple II emulators include AppleWin and Apple Oasis. Normally disk images will be in .zip or .gz compressed form when downloaded. Use WinZip or a similar utility to uncompress these files. Download and uncompress the disk images of games you want to play. Then, transfer the images to your Apple II (or IIgs)-- e.g.

No, normal CDs are CD-DA format; MP3s are in (yes!) MP3 format. Some new Discman-type players will play MP3s, but most don't like low-bitrate files. That means it will play audio CD-Rs (and even then you might expect hardware/media incompatibility due to different wavelengths used on DVD and CD media). Unless your unit specifically claims to play low-bitrate MP3 files you can assume it will not be able to play them at all. Consult your manual for specifics.

Update: Not directly, but you can transfer MP3's to your Xbox using the Music Mixer. Details are here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/musicmixer/default.htm.

edit] I can't get any media to play in Amarok, why not? You need to test the sound frameworks at the command line: %xine-check (The Package xine-ui contains xine-check) The output from these commands should help you identify the problems you are having and how to fix them. edit] Can Amarok output directly to OSS/ALSA? Yes! Don't forget that the media must be decoded first! You can't just pipe an MP3 to ALSA, all you will get is white-noise.

No. Those should go to alt.binaries.gothic. This group is for pictures only. However, Quicktime, mpeg's and RealVideo files are fine. Sound files are prohibited, but video is fine. Please try to make it compatible on multiple operating systems. The reason mp3's had been forbidden was that they are sound files usually. I don't think a sound file can possibly be "gothic erotica" unless it's a recording of Robert Smith, Poppy Z.

MP3's are a major breakthrough in music technology that has blown the music industry wide open. Before that, in order to put a song on a web page, you had to record it in what was called a wave file format. That sounded great, but a typical 4 minute song, in CD quality stereo could be as much as a 50 megabyte-file, which is huge by any standard. Even with a 56k modem and a typical phone line, that would take probably 45 minutes to an hour to download a single song. MP3 is a compression protocol.

There are certain download services that feature newcomers whos MP3´s are free for download for everybody. See the Music Download section for more info's and links. These services are completely legal ! On the other hand there are certain searchengines that list MP3 servers in the WWW or FTP. Keep in mind that a lot of these services list MP3 files that are copyright protected and that copyright laws may be violated by downloading these files.

Play-by-post is a way of playing D&D (or any roleplaying game) online without needing chat software or a specific meeting time. Basically, the DM makes a post to a thread describing what the players see/hear/experience, and then each player responds with his character's reactions. Posting times vary between game, from fast games that ask for players to post several times per day, to games that require only one post per week.

Yes. There are dozens of first-person shooters, strategy games, puzzle and adventure games, even board, and puzzle games. Several regions of the world have been devoted to role playing, and resemble medieval towns, or futuristic cities. The building and scripting system even enables Residents to create their own version of a MMORPG, including hit points, character stats, and all the other classic elements.

They will work with any player that can play normal OTR rates like 32k/22kHz. The Volt seems to the the darling of the OTR community. Older players like the MpTrip require CD-style 44.1kHz sampling rates, so they choke on OTR. And of course they will play on any PC-based player like WinAmp. They will not, I promise you, play on your stereo: they are MP3 not audio CD.

MP3 is the most common format for audio on the internet. The most popular software to let Windows users play MP3 files is Windows Media Player. This can be downloaded here. Windows users can also use iTunes, which is available here. For Mac users, iTunes is part of your system.

If you can't already play copied DVD's or MP3 files on your player then it is very unlikely that by hacking your player you will then be able to do so. This is all down to the fact that the laser pickup on your player may not be compatible with the various recordable DVD formats. Likewise, playback of MP3 or WMA files may also not be possible because the players chipset may not have the necessary circuitry.

Yes and yes. Using the free Rhapsody Music Software (available on Windows PCs only), you can burn tracks that are purchased from Rhapsody onto CD. You can also use the Rhapsody Music Software to burn CDs created from your personal MP3 collection. Streamed and downloaded (but not purchased) membership tracks cannot be burned onto a CD.

A:) You bet! www.xaudio.com (basic "shell" but it's free) and www.utopiasoft.com (pretty). My personal favourite for the Palm-size PC is Pocket Player from Conduits. And of course there's the freeware Microsoft player for MP3 and WMA format! Windows CE Services 2.2 - This is the desktop Win95/98 software that allow sync between your PC and a H/PC or P/PC. This is a software download you get from your OEM.

The stock head unit (same for HK and non-HK cars) will play CDR but will not play MP3's. The factory changer (actaully Alpine) will also play CDR but not MP3. To play MP3 you have to either upgrade your changer or your head unit or both. Here's what you need to do.

They can carry the music or other audio material from an MP3. You do this by playing the MP3 on your computer and recording to MD through the computer's headphone jack, connected as in the previous question.

Unfortunately, MP3 (MPEG Layer 3) audio files written to a CD-ROM can not be played by any of the current "mainstream" head units or CD changers. Many knowledgable individuals have spent hours installing PCs into their cars or building specialized hardware to play MP3 files in their car. Although many of these systems have been "hacked" together, there are now a number of commercially available systems that can be purchased and installed.

How the mp3 plays on your pc is all dependant on what is configured on your pc as the default player of mp3 files. We advise customers that they should use the default player which is Windows Media Player, as this can be configured to play in a seperate window, or within a "media bar" within Internet Explorer 6, so that you may listen to our samples and continue to browse our website. Please consult the Microsoft website if you wish to configue Windows media player to play files in this way.

We have recently changed our samples from raw mp3 samples to m3u playlist files. By doing this it enables HTFR to stream the sample to your pc so that you may play the sample quicker, and also allows HTFR to do seperate samples for both A and B sides of the vinyl. Please ensure that your chosen mp3 playback software supports m3u playback. Pc users please be aware that Windows Media player that is built into Mircosoft Windows supports m3u files.
