Having only one .talk file for all my songs...
darkarn:
I am thinking of doing that as...
--- Quote ---The .talk files contain the spoken name of the directory or file in MP3 format. They are in regular MP3 format, if you have the software and patience you can put in a small spoken announcement and fade in a clip of the song, whatever you'd like.

Yes, I want an announcement (about 5 seconds) for all my songs...
Is this possible? Or should I go modify the theme instead?
Thanks!

I'm really struggling to understand your question.
Do you mean that you want to create and use literally 'one' file and for that one file to be voiced each time you select any file in the File Browser? If so, that will not work. .talk files only work for the file with the same name as the .talk file (and would be a bit pointless to hear the same announcement each time you up or down the track listing).
Or do you want your 'announcement' clip to be played during playback between each track? If so, then that is not how voice works at all. For that to work, you would need to create a standard .m3u playlist and insert an entry between each track that pointed to your 'announcement' clip.

Modifying the theme does not normally affect any voicing options, but you could create a configuration file to switch various voice options on or off.
* bascule somehow thinks he hasn't correctly double-guessed the OP's intentions...

Yep, you got me... Only one .talk annoucement clip to be played when I choose the song ie I pick a song, RockBox plays the .talk file, the song then start playing... Same goes for other songs in my player...
GodEater:
Well then as bascule says - you're out of luck - that's not the way the .talk system works.
Incidentally, they're not .mp3 clips anymore either, they're speex.
Edit: Except on old HWCODEC based Archos units, where they're still MP3.
Happy now pixelma? :)
darkarn:
Ah ok... Will modifying the theme help?
