Insert a pause in a playlist

Posted: 10-30-2006, 08:30 PM
Hello!

Can you tell me if there is a way to insert a sixty second pause between two
songs in a playlist? We use Media Player at our church. Right now we find
the pause button too late and have to reset the song (after playing the first
little bit of it)!

Thanks for looking!

The easiest way is to simply make sixty seconds worth of silence. Unplug the
mic and right click anywhere on your desktop to make .wav file. As a bit of
irony, the recorder used for Windows is pretty simplistic and will only
record 60 seconds worth by default unless you sit there moving the slider.
Now that I think about it... Hmm... Kinda silly but, well, maybe there was a
divine plan all along 'cause no one else could make sense of it and now -
after all these years - it turns out you need exactly 60 seconds. Well,
there you go, let it run for 60 seconds (you could just mute the mic) and
you'll have your pause.

For all the years that it has been like that and suffered that limitation
we've never known why. *grins* Now we do.
