S/he'll probably want to use MS Word or neo office; last I checked, TextEdit did not handle parallel texts well. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I tested the TextEdit version that comes with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) with a big bilingual .rtf file and didn't have any problems. Of course, MS Word, NeoOffice etc. would be better. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions, finally have it all working now. Doitsujin, that is exactly what I did, but just downloaded a rar archiver and have all the readble files now. Much thanks for your help. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm glad to hear that. I guess it works for some, but not others (like a few other RTF readers I tried), as I used OS X 10.5 as well when I tried it. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Is there a way to download the Russian audio for "Master and Margarita" to the computer or can it only be played off the website? I don't have PRO whatever (I right-clicked on the mp3 player and it said PRO: Download Source).
It might explain how to do so so on the page, but I don't speak Russian. I tried clicking a lot of links but no success. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

"Is there a way to download the Russian audio for "Master and Margarita" to the computer or can it only be played off the website?"
If you can play something on your computer, you can* record it. In Audacity there's a box for choosing the type of input you want to record (top right in the toolbar. Select "Stereo mix", start playing whatever and hit record. You should see a (non-flat) waveform getting recorded. Be aware that Audacity will create huge temporary .wav files. So if you want to record long continuous selections it's worth getting something that can record MP3 natively. (eg MP3directcut) *Usually without much fuss. But I had to update my soundcard driver to be able to do this - the relevant option simply didn't appear. But I think I was just unlucky. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

He doesn't need to do anything so complicated. He just needs to delete the file association his browser has for mp3s because it is calling a third party application to play it instead of prompting him to download it like he should. I guess it is quicktime, but I don't know your system details (browser, etc.) so I can't give you instructions. Google according to your webbrowser and the software that is offending you, example "remove quicktime mp3 association in firefox". 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I use Firefox but also have Google Chrome if I need it.
I haven't found where I can delete the file association. And yes, I think for Firefox, the browser uses Quicktime to play the files, specifically Quicktime Plug-In 7.6.6. apparently. I'm fiddling with stuff and Googled what you suggested, parasitius, which is an interesting name, but so far no dice. I'll keep working on it, but given the info here, how would I go about dismantling this so I can download the files? Thanks. 1 person has voted this message useful |
