Ringtones

Problem 1

Remember when I said I accidentally saved the ringtones at 11025HZ? I am now remembering why I encoded at that setting.

The Macromedia Flash player has a problem playing files that are encoded at a rate that is not a multiple of 11.025 kHz. This effect is sometimes called the “chipmunk” effect: the file is played at double speed. To avoid this, encode MP3s at 11.025 kHz 22.050 kHz or 44.100 kHz.

However, I re-encoded these at 22050HZ so I thought the problem would be gone. The audio files sounded good if you are using Firefox.

Solution: I have re-encoded them at 22050HZ and a bit rate of 32. They sound better now and play in the flash player without sounding like chipmunks.

Problem 2

These files are embeded using a player and can not be downloaded.

Solution?:

• Stanley Cup Comes To Pittsburgh 1991
• She wants to sell my monkey!
• He beat him like a rented mule!
• Oh no, Eddie Spaghetti!
• Lord Stanley, Lord Stanley, bring me the brandy!
• Look out Loretta!
• You ain't nothin' but a hound dog!
• Great balls of fire!
• Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has just left the building!
• Buy Sam a drink and get his dog one too!
• Call Arnold Slick from Turtle Creek!
