There's a free music player that will do that somewhere. But in order to do it you have to use a utility to divide the song into 10 sec pieces and then upload the pieces.

I'll see if I can find out where I got the music player.

thank you i appreciate your speedy response and do you know which program i would use to split them in 10 sec bits and can you let me know how i would do it a step by step if its possible i hope im not being to demanding i will pay you if need be cause your the only nicest person who took time to reply and even try to explain and help me for that i give my gratitude so when ever you have time i would appreciate your help and once i learn i will upload any songs that you want for taken the time to help me thanks alot and get back to me at your earliest convenece aiight then holla.

Try the freeware app Audacity. Load the wave file. Turn on snap so you can select in exactly 10 second sections. Select a section and do "export selected as wav." Generally speaking it's not really worth the effort however. Wav files don't load reliably so you'll find the player scripts frustrating and inadequate. They also create hellish amounts of lag. People used to upload music this way before we had the ability to stream audio from outside SL. It was the only choice. That's no longer the case and you're much better off looking into setting up a shoutcast server.

im really dont know alot about streaming i dont have a server just pc and is there a way to stream from pc my processor is pentium 4 1.5 ghz 1.5 gbs of ram some reason second life is using 99% of my cpu is there a way to fix it cause if i stream from my pc or open up any other program sl would crash i have 2 hard drives main os windowss xp home edition 20gb & my other drive for storage which is 120 gb and thanks guys for the help i thought making my own cd would be good cause i can play any song i want at any time and not be subjected to listening to a dj lol but if it causes all this lag is there another way to get around that so it doesnt lag that bad and again thanks guys for the help im just a newbie trying to learn i have thousands of cd's and songs i wanted to upload to give to friends so thats my main reason for this might even open a business if i can get it down lol aiight then later guys any replys would be appreciated holla

I did a search to try to find it but came up empty. Well not empty, I found this open source (free) program called Audicity, that makes it easy to split music, but it's not automatic:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Sorry maybe someone else knows the program that does it automatically.

Good luck.

SL will use all the resources available.

Mine generally says it's using nearly 100% of the processing power.

thanks guys found a good program with crack wave splitter 1.0 and splitted the song perfectly now all i need is to know how to find a 20 second player or player to play file and i need to know if i need a script to use it and where i can get it if i do and how would i add it to make a cd so i can wear it and play the song i splitted

Sentences. They're fun.

Generally splicing together 10-second sound files to make a 4 minute song is a bad idea.

Why? They're going to overlap and lag differently every time. They're a phenomenal waste of bandwidth and scripting. They'll annoy the jeezus out of your neighbors.

Just use a stream.

thanks for your comment i appreciate the info but its not helping me in any way to solve my problem i think that if i had the money i would stream and use shoutcast since i dont i have to use this method for the time being so if anyone could help me solve this problem 2 threads up i would really appreciate it thanks in advance later.

OK, let me put this in terms that you,ll understand, Steven.

THE METHOD THAT WAS SUGGESTED TO YOU SUCKS. FORGET IT. YOU WON'T BE HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS AT ALL. I have a friend that had one of those players and was HORRIBLE being around her when she was listening to it.

And 20 second bites wouldn't work, anyway, as far as I know, you can not play a wav of more than 10 seconds (actually 9.99 I believe) in SL at this point.

You should be able to use shoutcast and SL at the same time with that system without too much trouble. I used to run SL, Shoutcast Server, and Photoshop at the same time on a system with lower specs than that and only 512mb of RAM. I've since bought a new computer and use the old one as a dedicated Shoutcast server, but I did it all on one system for a long time. Shoutcast is pretty easy to set up and once you have it working you can play any songs you feel like whenever you want It's a million times better than trying to do it with wav files.

SL Streaming offers great services when you need to stream. You can pay them in Lindens and their rates are VERY affordable - much moreso than trying to run your own stream. I've dropped you a notecard I received from them in world.

i like to thank yall for all your help your giving me and time you took to explain its good to know theres people out there who doesnt mind taking there time to help someone out im going to take your advice and stream i wanted to ask if i stream will i be able to listen to my stream like if i had cd or do i have to own land and play it there this is the last question cause i dont want to keep bothering yall with all these newbie questions lol aiight then thanks in advance aiight then im out have a nice day yall peace.

Audio streams are set by land parcel owners so you'll either need to own land or get people you're visiting to turn on your stream on their land.
