This section shows how to create a sound file using audio capture. You will be able to use it in any e-mail you send, just like a midi file. If you are not familiar with sound files, please refer to the section on Sounds In WebTv E-Mail for a better understanding.

This is a rather involved process, so...we're going to take it step by step. Ready? Let's go!

Normally, to find the url of a sound file, all you had to do was click on it and then select the "Go To" button and choose "Show Last". Doing this with an audio capture, however, will not give us what we're looking for. So, we'll have to get it another way.

1. The first thing you must do is to open up an e-mail account at AmExMail. It's free and you're going to need it before we can go any further. "Why is that?", you may ask. Simply because AmExMail will break down the code of your audio capture.

2. Next, record your audio capture and send it to your other e-mail account at AmExMail.

Are you with me so far? Good! Now, go to your e-mail account at AmExMail and click on in box. Finally, click on the message you just sent and scroll down until you see a speaker icon next to the words recording.wav

What should we do next? That's right!...Click on it.

You should now be able to hear the audio capture that you made. After it's finished playing, hit the Go To button and select Show Last. Ah, the code for your audio capture has been revealed!

Now, here's where your cut, copy & paste skills come in:

1. Simultaneously, press cmd and a. The box containing the code should now be highlighted.

2. Simultaneously, press cmd and x to "cut" the code. It is now stored in a buffer memory.

Still with me? Good! Now, go back to webtv mail and select write. Now you're going to paste the stored code to your e-mail. To do so, bring the cursor to where you would normally start writing and simultaneously, press cmd and v. It will look something like this:

Wow! That's some code! We're in the home stretch now! To make this a sound file, just put <Embed src=" before the code and .wav"> after it, like this:

<Embed src="http://www.amexmail.com/tpl/Attachment/310CGFA
JG/recording.wav?Q=956cigXbT0080M03&O=1640.wav">

Congratulations! You have now created a sound file of your audio capture. You can place it in your signature and it will go out with every e-mail you send. Or store the code in a saved e-mail and copy and paste the code whenever you want it.

If you have a home page, you can store and re-name your audio captures to your home page directory by using the Transloader. Click Here to find out how.
