    Renaming Zip Files

    Joker, you just insist on being offended. If that's your idea of a good time then set to it and have fun. Big gun was right, I said and meant the low end of the market, as in price. For a couple of years I had the cheapest hosting software on the market, not only in the price you paid but it...

    Renaming Zip Files

    Well, yeah..... AutOkdj took money out of my pocket but that has nothing to do with zipping. If you were charging money for AutOKdj I could compete. You have the low end of the market cornered and I can't out advertise MTU and Compuhost in the upper end so further development is pointless...

    Renaming Zip Files

    Essentially it is that the con of zipping is that it increases the likelyhood of a computer crash. In your explaination of sycronizing (which is illegal in the US but that's another topic) you express the need to check the copy to make sure it is correct. Good idea. Zipping is at best a...

    Renaming Zip Files

    1. I cannot respond to point 1 because I don't know what "syncronizing" a library does. 2. Why would you search for both file names? 3. If you had a "well behaved program" it would automatically rename all associated files without zipping. 4. True, decreasing the total number of files in a...

    Renaming Zip Files

    And what would these "Best features" be? Exactly? Opinions vary. Here's some karaoke freeware I whipped up for a friend http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?30500000036644. Aside from that Sacks-O-Nuts ShowHoster had video bits, kiosks, rotation, autoplay, built-in song books maker, file renamer...

    Gladly, what would you like? It was my profession for many years.

    Renaming Zip Files

    Must stir the pot just a bit more. How does having one file name rather than two simplify a file system? You don't deal directly with the file system. Second, those miliseconds represent about eight million bytes of information that have to be re-written for no purpose. Computers do not work...

    Renaming Zip Files

    Ah Professor, you're over my head again. You seem to be talking about the need to bundle file formats which don't yet exist. Now wait a minute, they did exist in the quadraphonic wonder of the 70's that no one liked. End user don't deal with files. They press play. I believe you are...

    Renaming Zip Files

    Yes Toqer, it is true. Completely over my head. The advantage of a container is what exactly??? The advantage of admitting you're stupid is that there is always room to learn from someone else. So then Prof. Toqer, if you please.

    Renaming Zip Files

    I fear you are taking personal offense from a purely accademic discussion. As for stupidity in general I know where-of I speak for I have vast experience at being stupid and acting stupidly. Therefore, I know that the first step towards ending stupidity is to admit that what you are doing is...

    Renaming Zip Files

    To quote the sage Forrest Gump "Stupid is as stupid does." I would and did call something which complicates a process to no advantage whatever, stupid. It's like keeping pencils up you nose. Take them out to inhale, put them back, take them out to exhale, replace, ad infinitum. The arguement...

    Renaming Zip Files

    Toq: Why would you need to contain a computer file? Anything that you do to a file you have to undo before you can use it. As Tim said, you don't gain a lot by compressing an MP3 file (about 8%). The CDG file ususally compresses 80-90% but that's because it's mostly garbage (filler bytes for...

    Unzip the files and leave them unzipped. You computer will thank you. The best way to solve a problem is by not making it in the first place.

    Karaoke Books, do you use them?

    I think you would be hard pressed to get me to part with five bucks to sing a flipping karaoke song.

    Karaoke Books, do you use them?

    Pretty easy to do really. The hard part would be getting the list of lyrics to begin with. As for listenting stations.... Again, easy enough to do but it might cause a glich if the music was playing from the host computer at same time. Or, you could just put the first ten seconds of each...
