AIF: 18972
WAV: 19378 as you will see from the AIF bug report, I am not the only person who has encountered this problem.

I (and probably about everyone else) is not sure what you are talking about. Bugs in what? Perhaps something to do with your caps-lock key? -- | Ubuntu Linux | www.ubuntulinux.org | | Kubuntu | www.kubuntu.org -- kubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |

Bugs in what? Perhaps something to do with your caps-lock key? I _do_ know what he's talking about, but he doesn't seem very interested in getting help... 1) Quote. It really helps people to understand you. 2) Post URLS. Nobody really wants to search for the bugs. If you have the number, you _must_ have either been sent a link or been ON that page - cut & paste. We don't even know which bug database (it's different for ubuntu-supported packages (main/restricted) and MOTU-supported packages). So, the first one is http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18972 As far as I can see from the bug report, you ARE the only person who's encountered the problem. Yes, you said one other person has, but why hasn't _he_ posted his problems? In any case, if you are reporting a bug (thank you - it IS important to post bugs), you need to report it against a specific package. It is not Ubuntu's fault if Runtime Revolution can't play an AIF. Since it can play it, but at the wrong speed, the problem should be reported against Runtime Revolution, However, this doesn't even seem to be a Ubuntu package, so how can Ubuntu developers (or even MOTU) fix it? I think, you've reported the problem to the wrong place. On top of that, you've also reported that it's a problem for rhythmbox. You need to report that as a "wishlist" item against the rhythmbox package. The developer may, or may not, choose to add support for AIF files. Your second bug is http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19378. Clearly, yours will - if somebody takes the time to look at it - be closed as a duplicate of 7159. Since it's deemed an "upstream" problem, there's little likelihood of it being fixed by Ubuntu developers. However, I don't know how much attention is paid to poorly described bugs against "UNKNOWN" packages. fwiw, k3b copies audio CDs to WAV files and converts to (at least) OGG and MP3 without trouble, so, no, "WAV files are [not] a huge problem". There are no doubt any number of other fine ways to handle them - and probably at least one good solution to your AIF problems. Finally, we really do love to help here. If you'd started this by saying that "Runtime Revolution plays AIF files at double speed: has anyone had success playing AIF files from another application?" and "how can I copy WAV files from an audio CD?" you'd have got all the help you needed. -- derek -- kubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |

Apparently he has been posting about his troubles with the AIF files in several different messages, thus creating a new thread every time. Not very easy to follow, isn't it? ;-) Here are the subjects and dates : 1) Why is my voice so squeaky? - AIF files on Ubuntu 5.10 Date: Sunday 14:03:54 2) The solution to Runtime Revolution and Ubuntu RE AIF files. Date: Sunday 17:43:25 I cannot offer more help than this except if adding to Derek's post by saying that a) reporting a bug, no matter how good or bad it is will not produce an immediate response and b) if you could manage your problems on a single thread per issue, it would be more easy to follow them and eventually help. Oh, the caps!; please do not shout at me ;-) Regards, f -- kubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |
