John, 

I'm going to have a good look around in there now shortly bearing all that you 
and Andy have told me. 

Will let you know how it goes. 

Ta, 

Tony

  Hi Tony, something's occurred to me. You're not mistaking downloading with 
installing, are you? You download a file, but until you press enter on it and 
run through the installation it isn't installed. I know that's rather obvious, 
but just in case I thought I'd mention it.
    It was your mention of your My Documents and My Music folders that gave me 
the idea. It doesn't matter where the executable is when you install it. The 
installation process will install its files where they need to be. Just press 
enter on the wavepad executable and follow the prompts.
                      John.

    John, 

    I downloaded and it went to my music folder. 

    That is where the last downloads are. 

    I know an exe it could be so will do as you say or delete and start all 
over again. 

    Perhaps I should install now from there. 

    A little muddled am I! 

    Thanks, 

    Tony Sweeney

      Hi Tony, what do you mean wavepad went to your my documents folder? Do 
you mean that's where you downloaded the executable to?
        I take it you've installed it? If so the shortcut will be on your 
desktop. You can either click on that shortcut, open the programme and load 
your audio file into it, or go to the properties of an audio file and tell it 
to open with wavepad.
        To do that, assuming you're using jaws highlight the file, press alt 
and enter, then tab till jaws says change. Click on that and you can tell 
windows to open your audio files with wavepad. Then tab to the ok button.
                          John.

        Hi John & Andy, 

        I downloaded the programme and it went to the my documents folder. 

        I played a song which is in that same folder, hitt the apps key but 
while it saw Wavepad it wouldn't do anything for me! 

        I wonder if I should move Wavepad to a different area?

          Hi Tony, I think it's excellent. As far as help files go I don't 
think there is one, but it's simple to use. There are only a couple of options 
that come to mind that someone not acquainted with audio processing may not 
understand, but as the majority of options are self explanatory one wouldn't be 
needed. Most people would have come across terms like cut, copy and paste. To 
use those options you just treat the audio as if you were editing text, using 
the markers to set the area to be affected.
            I've never found a programme which does as much as it does in as 
straightforward a way. I promise you, you won't have to learn to use it as you 
may audacity or goldwave.
            Incidentally, andy's post reminded me of something I hadn't 
mentioned. Open with Wavepad should be on the context menu of your audio files.
            Let me know how you get on,
                              John.
             
            It really is a simple point and shoot programme.

            Hi John, 

            Perhaps one final question from me on this. 

            Is there a Read Me file with it and how good do you find it? 

            Thanks, 

            Tony Sweeney

              Hi Tony, yes. It's a great little programme. When you first 
install it it'll work as the pay version, till the trial time for the pay 
version is coming to an end, then you get a popup inviting you to buy the pay 
version. If you say no it carries on working, just disabling the extra 
functions.
                That doesn't make much difference though. All of what you'd 
generally use is in the free version. I use it a lot to edit stuff downloaded 
from IPlayer, to cut off the surplus. All you need to do is to set the markers 
at the beginning of the section you want to cut, press enter and it's done. You 
can also copy and paste blocks in the same way. You can also super impose one 
file over another using the mix file function, and insert a file at the 
beginning, the end or current position.
                The only slight negative I've found with it is moving backwards 
or forwards. It's quite slow.
                Good luck with it,
                                  John.

                Hi John 

                I too am interested in that programme. 

                I presume you copy the file you wish to edit from in to Wavepad
                  and work away as you described earlier? 

                  Thanks,

                  Hi Barbara, editing a file in it is as simple as editing text 
in notepad. To
                  do what you describe, saving a section as a separate file do 
this:
                  1 Play or fast forward to the beginning of the clip you want 
to save. On the
                  edit menu go to set first position and press enter. Then play 
or fast 
                  forward to the end of the section, go to the edit menu and 
press enter on 
                  set second position.
                    Then go to the edit menu and press enter on save select 
region as and 
                  press enter. Give it whatever name you want and save.
                                      John.
