Rather than chopping up the audio files that textbooks come with into little chunks, we are trying to take those files and create playlists through a single publishing point. The goal is to create a link in Bb that would display a playlist so that a user can choose the files s/he wants to listen to, vs listening to the whole chapter track or hunting and pecking.... Currently, in XP you can click on the link in Bb and it opens the Media Player and you can skip through the files using the media playerbut there is no a playlist. On OSX, you cannot skip through the files...you have to listen to the whole audio file...and there is no playlist. We have tried this using a .wsx list and .asx too. Same results as above for either. If this makes no sense to anyone, that would be because I am losing all hope of coherent thought due to this conundrum. If you are coming to Provo for FLEAT I would be thrilled to talk with you there, but in the meantime if people can contact me off list that would be terrific. Thanks!
