ps....hansz, try increasing the size of your pup_save.2fs file, it needs double the size free of the program you are trying to install (annoying problem in petget)

start>utility>resize personal storage file

Hello,

I solved this MD5SUM error thing for me.
I downloaded audacity 1-3-2 beta from here:

http://puppyfiles.ca/dotpupsde/dotpups/Multimedia/Audacity-1.3.2-beta/

it installs properly on my computer. To start it, I also had to install these two "wxgtk" packages. I haven't tried it out yet so i cannot tellk how good it works.

hanzf, that version had many issues in ubuntu 8.04...probably because of their new PulseAudio sound system, please give it a good test and see how it performs in puppy, and get back to us because it had a few nice features.

I think I made a mistake Embarassed

the files need to placed in a folder called /usr/lib/ladspa...at least this is what I did in ecopup

Have tried to make a .pet of these...and failed Crying or Very sad

I loaded the Beta on my son's Puppy 4.2 laptop and he likes it ... except ... he needs to be able to save his voice recordings as mp3's, or at least wav files.

Is there a way to do this, please?

Otherwise should he use some other audio recording app?

He is making voice-overs as part of a group of young people online who are creating their own animated versions of cartoon series.

Thanks! doc

Export as mp3 but in preferences > formats...you will probably have to locate the lame library first.

..or for the ultimate one liner...

arecord -D hw:0,0 -f cd | lame - /path/to/file.mp3

ctrl c to stop...
will record direct to mp3 from whichever input it set to record from in the mixer/alsamixer

I assumed that lame was still included with puppy...guess not.

The one liner is using arecord which is comes with alsa...(and lame..it gets around) and will record from the selected input ... no audacity or any other program needed

My son does not want to deal with the complexity of Audacity - he really just needs a simple voice recorder with the GUI which allows him to save to mp3 or wav.

Anything like that for Puppy?

Sure seems like a common app - it has always been part of the MS and Apple distros.

Ok simple recorder time.

unpack and drop this in somewhere like /usr/bin, click and run
choose card one if you only have one...
use alsamixer to choose input.....

Thanks Mike!

My Puppy 4.2 install has forgotten all of the default Run Action associations.

What app is best to use these days to open a tar.gz?

Still the old way in rxvt or pupunzip or ???
