I played with a couple sites on the headspace example page that did this quite well. (and no, you don't need the mac only headspace file format editor, so don't get all bent about that again :-) >But, without Stereo, sound is still a novelty act on any PC in my opinion. >We can thank the Sun folks, or UNIX, or just Java-in-general for this >little problem. So no amount of Mac vitriol or side comments need apply. I think the original intent for java was more for embedded processors, which is probably why it's not so hot for multimedia web stuff. Besides, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone using Sun workstations for audio of any sort, so what do you expect?

It was sort of lame interface-wise. It has 8 sets of boxes where you type in the number of the audio file you wanted and the length of its loop time. It would then download the audio file and loop it, in a slightly garbled fashion. A list of audio files, presumably recorded by Dr Nerve, followed the java applet part. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
