Support for MP3 ?????

Post by JackBurton10 »

I am using Ulead Photo Explorer ver 8.5 ESD. The manual says that it supports MP3 files when creating a web slide show. However, everytime I try to use a MP3 the app says that it is not supported. Only WAV, AU, Midi are supported.

Is there a newer build that I can download that supports MP3???

Photo Explorer supports MP3 files when creating PC and TV slideshows but not for Web Slideshows. Just like for normal web authoring tools, you can only use MIDI files for the background music of your web slideshow.

The documentation is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO misleading. I wasted hours on the MP3 files.

It works fine until moved to the Internet.

If 8.6 doesn't support MP3, please just say it doesn;t support it, but the comment

is just plain bizarre and inaccurate.
I haven't any clue on what you mean by that. That maybe accurate tebn years ago, but the only way the MP3 is not supported has nothing whatsoever t do with the Internet
MP3, is only NOT support by any web tool only if the local PC does NOT have a MP3 player on their PC or if MP3 files are incorrectly associated LOCALLY !!.

It is extremely rare to ever see midi used in any web tool.

The only reason for Photo Explorer NOT to allow for the installing of MP3 files is that the programmer hasn't taken the 5 minutes to remove the edit to allow for .mp3. It depends on the local configuration of the indivudual PCs that are opening up the browser, NOT Photo Explorer.

To load .wav files is bizarre. I can't a user having to be wasting time for non-compressed .wav files to stream.

It should accept .m3u files, which is the way to stream MP3 files.

It strickly is about the edit.

Ugh.

I am way mor upset by the defensive response, than by the fact that Photo Explorer doesn't allow for ANY compressed audio to be entered into the slideshow.

The fact that it words with EVERYTHING else besides slideshows, shows how incredibly invalid that response was.
