how to add music

[ela4u]

Can anyone direct me to a tutorial on “how to add music”?
A tutorial from beginning- eg. How to save the file. – How to insert the file.

Thanks in advance . . . . Ela

To add music/ just select the insert tab and then content and add your music from the location you have it saved in--- on your computer.

Here is a tutorial on streaming audio ---
Below is a letter from swish on audio
Note---The lame Mp3 decoder is under options in the action panel and will need to be selected if you insert a wav file----

Here's the (almost) full story of sound and SWiSH/SWF.

SWF files support three type of sound compression .. no compression, ADPCM compression and MP3 compression.

There are a number of options for each of these, including:
* stereo vs mono
* sample rate (5.5K,11K,22K,44k)
* sample bits (8 or 16)
* compressions bits (for ADPCM 2,3,4 or 5 bit).

When you import a WAV file (not MP3) into SWiSH, SWiSH lets you choose which of these you want to use for export. SWiSH will also automatically resample the sound to one of the four supported sample rates (above) before compressing.

If you select ADPCM for output, SWISH will encode as ADPCM 5-bit compression (the best quality ADPCM compression in SWF format).

If you select MP3 for output, then SWiSH will (by default) try to ask your operating system if it has an audio codec to compress WAV to MP3 (depends on windows version and installed software) .. if so it will use the system default MP3 compression, otherwise it will use the LAME compressor we supply with SWISH.

When you import an MP3 file, SWISH simply passes it directly to the SWF file and doesn't touch it .. there are no options for output format.

This means if you have a WAV to MP3 compression program that lets you compress better than LAME does, then you can import that directly. Perhaps you are willing to sacrifice some audio quality for better compressions .. or you want better quality and cna afford lightly higher file size.

In SWiSH v2 you can reduce file size by lowering the sample rate (with a program like sound recorder) .. or changing from stereo to mono (that will half the file size). If you're changing sample rate, select one of the four rates the SWF files support, and if changing sample depth, select only 8 or 16 bit samples. Then you can reimport into SWiSH and see (or hear) what difference it makes to sound quality and file size.

In the next update to SWiSH you'll be able to change things directly in SWISH.. You can select stereo/mono, sample rate, sample depth and ADPCM compression bits. You can also then see the effect this will have on the file size and choose the compression method and settings that give you the best combination of sound quality and file size.
