I'm confused - HELP

I haven't been able to listen to anything except Jesus is my friend - thanks for that (sarcasm). How does this thing work???

And another thing...The comments to each individual post are not displayed so you don't know if there have been any new comments to a posts.

WTF???

have tom hook you up with email updates...that's the best way i've found to keep track of what's going on with each individual post...

Rob, let me know what email address you want comments sent to and I'll set it up.

Rob the drummer said...

Tom use my work email address please.
Thanks

bassislife said...

Done

Rob the drummer said...

Thanks Tom. It's working

Okay. 1 down and 1 to go. Why can't I listen to the music that's posted? Do I need Apple Quick Time like the plug in keeps telling me or can I use Media Center?

Rob the drummer said...

No one has any advice about the music side of my question???

Anyone???

Please???

I am reluctant to install apple quicktime because of a bad experience in the past but if I have to, I will.

bassislife said...

I didn't realize that was the issue you were having. I have the quicktime plugin installed and haven't run into any issue, other than the fact that it doesn't save the volume setting I set it at previously and always plays LOAD!

I also don't care for how it loads all of the MP3s if you go to the blog directly rather than going to a specific post. It'd be nice if we could figure a way to open the MP3 in a separate window rather than the main post.

Rob the drummer said...

As I recall, one of the problems I was having was that quicktime took over all audio and I couldn't opt out. It was very aggressive and I couldn't get it out of my computer once I let it in.

bassislife said...

You should be able to select which file types it assigns itself to during the installation process. Key word being should. Apple has a way of assuming that anyone running windows applications would obviously prefer apple.

Rob the drummer said...

Ok. I installed quicktime. Wasn't given the option to choose what type of file to open. Tried clicking on one of the audio files from JC&TR - no luck.

What type of files are they, mp3, wav? Or are they links to a utube or something else?

bassislife said...

The files should play right in your browser. Did you close the browser after the install?

Rob the drummer said...

No - dahhhhhh.

It worked! Halle f'in lujah!!!

Tried the infamous test post by substar. Hilarious!

Rob the drummer said...

Thanks Tom.

Next Q...why am I getting 2 duplicate emails of each post?

Any clue?

bassislife said...

Are they only from this post or all posts? When you post a comment, there's check box that says 'Email follow-up comments to...'. Did you check that maybe? Since you're already set up to receive email for any comment, you don't need to check that box.

That's the only thing I can think of that would cause it. I checked to make sure you're only listed once in the email list, so other than that you should only receive one email per comment.

Rob the drummer said...

I'll double check (no pun).

Thanks again for all of the special attention. I'm like that...high needs, thin skin, sthenthative.
