This might be slightly off-topic, but I have not been able to find an answe=
r
elsewhere and I think that at least some Nature Recordists have dealt with
this problem.
I have been using Quicktime as an audio player in conjunction with Firefox
and Windows XP for surfing the net. Up until recently this has worked just
fine, but with the current version of Quicktime (version 7.1.5.120) only
about 3 seconds of an MP3 download play and no more. This is very annoying.
I have tried to change the file associations so that the Windows Media
Player plays my MP3 downloads, but Quicktime still grabs the stage. I can
only hear the very beginning of some of the fascinating natural sound files
that has been posted to the Internet by Nature Recordists group members.
My last resort will be to uninstall Quicktime. That will kill it for sure,
but I am hoping that there is a less drastic solution.
It never ceases to amaze me how software developers can take a perfectly
functional piece of software (like any of the old versions of Quicktime) an=
d
"improve" it into something that no longer works. This happens a lot,
unfortunately.
Grump, grump, grump.
