Need Help??

Not sure what's up with Anony Monk but I sure do appreciate the help :) Thanks for the help everyone.

It's not necissarily a bug but something I noticed that there's really not going to be a workaround for.. I am playing a song and for the last 10 seconds I am having it fade out by knocking off a few percentage points from the volume. Since it does it so suddenly, it almost sounds like the song jerks itself to the next level as opposed to it being a gradual non-intefering volume control.

Anyone else experience this? It's okay, I'm definitely not complaining :) It works great.

Again, thanks for everyone's help.

Have a look at Audio::Wav. It allows you to read and write .wav files so you can read in you .wav filen then do a smooth taper of the volume to 0 over the last 10 seconds by multiplying successive samples by a number that ranges from 1 to 0 over a 10 second span, then write it back out. Then when you play the altered wave file back it fades nicely without any further need for script support.

There are probably audio editing tools around that will let you do the same thing, but I don't know what to recommend.

Perl is Huffman encoded by design.
