Oooops! Re: The rmo-associated upload groups

I just tested my instructions and found an error. See the tested revision
below:

T E S T E D R E V I S I O N

1. First create a new folder on your harddrive in a place that you can
find again. Give it an appropriate name like, for example, "The Downloads I
Whined About".

2. Go to the RMU group "Files" page: Right click on the File of interest >
Left click on "Save Target As" > When the "Save As" window pops up locate
that new folder and open it. (You may have to search around in the hierarchy
tree a little bit to find it.)
Then, looking back at the "Save As" window, left click on the "Save" button
at the lower right corner. The File will be saved to
to your "Downloads I Whined About" folder.

[Step 3 is unchanged]

3. Repeat that same process for the next File you want to send to that
folder. When you are done you can go to the Save folder and arrange the
files in any sequence by dragging them around if you must be that
finnicky. As Files accumulate you can organize them by creating
sub-folders and dragging Files to them and arranging their sequence for
playing. You can also delete them at any time.

[Once you have gotten through this a few times it is very fast and easy, as
Mrs Little Jimmy is fond of saying about yrs truly]

This is great....it seems almost idiot-proof, but I will let you know when
I try later.

I'm definitely not an Apple guy - I'm entirely prelapsarian..

Many thanks.

I don't know how to do it, and I leave it to the computer genius of ljo
and others, but one thing that would make the listening to me of the
various uploaded tracks easier were if somehow more than one could be
played in sequence without having to go back to the computer each time
and start the process over. In other words, if two or three entries in
the same upload group could be played sequentially (I almost said
simultaneously, which would be interesting it its own way), that would
make it easier.....right now it's like playing old 78s (not that I
remember) and you have to get up and change the side after each one.


Kids these days are spoiled rotten. Here's how to accomplish the above if
your machine is a PC:

1. First create a new folder on your harddrive in a place that you can
find again. Give it an appropriate name like, for example, "The Downloads
I Whined About".

2. Go to the RMU group "Files" page: Right click on the File of interest
> Left click on "Save Target As" > When the "Save As" window pops up
locate that new folder and Select (right click on) it. The File will be
saved to that folder.

3. Repeat that same process for the next File you want to send to that
folder. When you are done you can go to the Save folder and arrange the
files in any sequence by dragging them around if you must be that
finnicky. As Files accumulate you can organize them by creating
sub-folders and dragging Files to them and arranging their sequence for
playing. You can also delete them at any time. If you're an Apple
(Macintosh) guy I can't help you. (I could, actually, but it would be too
much trouble).

And watch whom you call 'computer genius", buster.

ljo, computer guru


I agree a bit as to the timing issue, and for me that's the benefit of
keeping things at 10 minutes or under per upload. I have tried, not
always succesfully, to give people no more than 6 to8 minutes of an
upload....sometimes not possible, but I think that's easiest. Also, I am
learning that for these small uploads, it's actually better to give
small catchy numbers and 'songs' to the extent that it's possible,
because, again, I think it's easier to lock into some recognizable form
(and even recognizable tune) when you are doing and listening to these
uploads.

Just a few thoughts. I think these are a splendid idea and it is
obvious to me that quite a few members are enjoying the exchange of
recordings and the discussions that come from them.

However, I have this mental calculation that suggests that the more
time I devote to listening to uploads in these groups and indeed ones
in various Yahoo Groups, the less time I have for listening to CDs and
indeed DVDs. No doubt I shall dip in and out as the mood and the
content takes me.

I just thought that I would put this observation in case my lack of
interest be interpreted as something approaching disapproval.

Even though I am sure me even writing this probably comes across as
pompous and the active up/downloaders don't need my approval But in
principle, I think the groups are a massively positive On-Topic
contribution to rmo. :-)
