Help with voice tags please
bascule:
It certainly seems as though you have done everything correctly and I don't think I can do any more without actually getting 'hands-on' with your player.
You could post a working and a non-working .talk file to the forum (you'll have to rename it to a file type that the forum accepts - .txt, .pdf, .jpg, .gif, .png, .doc, .bin, .cfg) and I'll have a play around with them.
I can only think it is something simple but non-obvious and as you've tried so hard it seems a shame to give up now :)
rogerc:
Really appreciate your efforts. Hope it isn't down to something really stupid on my part!
Dirname1 doesn't work, but dirname2 does

I'm not having much joy with either of these files. This is what I've found so far:
_dirname1 is a tagged as a 5-second 127 kb/s VBR mono MP3 file
The file is 'recognised' in WinAmp, but does not play
Goldwave says this file has 'no audio content' and will not open it
On my H120, this file does not appear to play at all.
_dirname2 is tagged as a 2-second 64 kb/s mono MP3 file
The file plays in WinAmp, there is a noise, but no recognisable speech
Goldwave opens and plays the file which is actually 1.1 secs long, with the same audible result as WinAmp.
On my H120, again this plays, but with unrecognisable noise
From this I deduce that your 'new' mp3 files are somehow broken, but I don't know how or why. It may be worth re-downloading Lame.exe or Lame.dll (whichever you are using) and trying to create them again?
I'm also not sure how you are creating the files, I think it's using a microphone to record your actual voice? It may be worth looking into this automatic directory voicing script/application linked from here:

Unfortunately, I'm going to be unavoidably offline for a few days now, but I'll check back to see how you (or anyone else) has got on with this problem soon.
bascule:
I've been experimenting a little bit and have recorded a voice clip using the standard recording function of my H120 with the internal microphone. I recorded direct to MP3 128 kb/s at 44.1 kHz and it works perfectly.
Somehow your recording method is creating broken files. I've attached my file for you to try.
Please let me know some more details of your method and I'll carry on trying to help.
EDIT: I've been playing with the automatic application/scripts for generating voice tags and it works brilliantly! It can automatically create both directory and file .talk files using Windows' built-in (with XP and above, anyway) speech synthesis capabilities. Check it out, I think it will answer all your problems. ;D

rogerc:
Have taken your advice and used the automatic application and it does work brilliantly. I was put off this originally as it looked a bit complicated but it wasn't in practice and it will save me a lot of time as I put the rest of his collection on. Many thanks from me and also from Nick
