OPEN TO SUBSCRIBERS -- "Audio in Replayer"
Monday, June 16th 2008 12:21 pm

EDIT: Okay, now any PXF subscriber can post an audio comment to this hand in the PXF Replayer. This is just a test, so feel free to just say hello because we want to see how the replayer holds up with lots of audio comments from many different users (or even better -- give your thoughts about the hand). Be polite please. You should be asked to agree to the terms and we ask that you follow those. Also, be patient when uploading the audio file -- it can take some time.

Here are the basic instructions you will see when you try to add an audio comment. To record, do the following:

1. Set up your microphone. Find the spot (in the gray box that shows every action in the hand) where you want to put your audio comment and click the "Add Comment" link. A window will pop up -- so make sure you are not blocking our popups. Press the "Click to Record" button and start speaking.

Note: You will have to agree to our general terms for posting audio. Take these seriously except that it is okay, for this test, to just say hello if you don't want to comment on the hand.

2. If you wish, click the Pause button to pause recording. Click Pause again to continue recording.

3. Click the square Stop button when you have finished talking.

4. Click the Play button to listen to your recording. If you want to re-record, go back to step 1.

5. Click the "Save Audio" button and the audio file will be uploaded to our server.

6. Click the Done button once the file is uploaded. This will register your comment.

We're going to test this for the rest of today (unless it breaks, which it may -- this is very beta). Thanks!
