Question About New Shuffle

#1 Rhapsody · #1 March 14th, 2009, 08:08 AM

I was wondering since iTunes 8.1 is what embeds the voice, telling the artist and track data, into a MP3, why can't you just add the voice, then transfer it to any MP3? To do that we might have to make a iPod Shuffle 3G emulator so iTunes would do the conversion.

Tell me what you think

I haven't tried the new iPod Shuffle, but what you describe sounds much like going into System Preferences -> Speech, enabling Text-to-Speech and then running iTunes.

I'm thinking very few have a new generation shuffle already, but I'm willing to bet the "voice over" only applies to iTunes purchased tracks. Jest guessin'

Hopefully not. If it did then it would be useless to many, many people.

I now have written an Automator script that takes a audio file, copies it, renames it based on ID3 tags, then saves speech of the name. All I need to do is add the speech file to the main file. I only have one problem, when I listen to the speech file, it says "User Username" then the songs ID3 info whereas "Username" is my username.

Thanks

Is it perhaps speaking the full path to the music file, say "/Users/username/Songfile"?

No, it isn't saying the file path? Just the user name. Attached is my Workflow. Try it and see if you have the same problem.
