One in particular sounded like it was from the 3 Stooges. Thanks Pauline. Usually wav, mp3 files downloaded from the internet. We have inventive and creative people in this world. Take a joke for example. Have you ever invented a Joke or do you remember and repeat as I do. Good point you have. For my cellphone I just say its me here. For my landline I don't use an answer phone. When I ring a person I do not want an answerphone at all. I would prefer no answer in which case it will not cost me. I will ring later.	Elephant (599)
398782	2005-10-24 07:22:00	HI Godfather, I did find the Monty site but couldn't get them to play. I have Windows Media Player but maybe they need something else. After reading some of them I can picture John Cleese doing them. Thanks Pauline.	Pauline (641)
398783	2005-10-24 19:59:00	I was under the impression .ogm's were video files with ogg audio and either XviD or Theora video?	Chilling_Silence (9)
398784	2005-10-24 23:57:00	OGM=Outgoing Message. Nothing to do with a codec The Monty Python files are zipped, you need to unzip them, then they are plain old .wav files.	godfather (25)
398785	2005-10-25 00:06:00	To get a mp3, or wav onto a cellphone last time was a bit of a mission. I did it by remotely access my voicemail from a landline, then playing the message to the wave device for the modem. It was hard to get the timing right, then no-one else appreciated the joke. *sigh* you threaten to kill a cat in an answerphone message and everyone gets all angry at you. What? -Qyiet	qyiet (6730)
398786	2005-10-25 00:52:00	So Quiet, you had the voice file ready to go at a click, worked through the celphone remote menu and when asked to record your message, opened the voice file? Which was then heard by your phone and recorded? Sounds good to me and a novel way to record the message. Believe me, I'm sure the quality was better than many greetings I hear. I often wonder if people ever check their greetings or practise them before recording. :dogeye: I'm a Python fan GF so might just try the site out. :D	Winston001 (3612)

It was a Win98 machine I used for doing this, so it took a bit of fiddeling in the multimedia applet to get the correct wav device to play, then a bit more fiddeling to set it back to normal. -Qyiet	qyiet (6730)
398788	2005-10-25 02:33:00	The easy way is to place the mouth piece between some head phones, works for cell or normal phone just fine. You just play the file with your fav media player.	Rob99 (151)
