What
Do I Have to Do to Set Up The Player?
The first thing you have to do is, of course, to get
the program.
Then you have to:
The best way to get your music into your computer is to use a sound
editor such as Audacity
or GoldWave. These are to
sound files as a word processor is to text files - they let you
create and edit sound files on your computer. Audacity is free,
and you can try Goldwave before you buy it.
If you have already recorded your music on mini-disks and done
any necessary editing, you could possibly get by with a free "jukebox"
program such as MusicMatch or RealPlayer but I really don't recommend
it. You will save yourself a lot of time and frustration, and get
better results, with a sound editor.
DanceMaster can handle
cue cards in three formats:
RTF is the ONLY recommended format for
several reasons:
-
Karaoke (auto-scrolling) cue cards only work with RTF files.
-
DanceMaster doesn't
have to load MS Word in order to read them.
-
RTF cue cards will develop other nifty talents in future versions
of DanceMaster.
If you already have your cue cards in long form in Word or Word Perfect,
it is trivial to re-save them in RTF format.
