How to link sound files

jfhallst, January 19, 2012 23:34

Can you explain how I would link a sound file to a note? I checked in the manual and it's not clear how it would be done (I'm ready to buy but since the ability to link to sound files is one of the main reasons I'd be buying the app, I need to make sure I understand how it works before I proceed with the purchase.)

Thanks so much!

Hi,

if you just want to link a sound file to a note you would basically insert a "Notebooks internal" link into your text, and when you click that link, Notebooks shows and plays the sound file.

If you want to embed the file, however, things are a little different. The current version of NB does not provide an automated way of embedding sound files, but with very little manual interaction you can still accomplish that. In a "formatted note" (a note which is converted to HTML with Markdown) you could add the lines below, and your sound file would be embedded in your text.

Here is the "code":



Notebooks 5 will take care of this automatically.

Best,
Alfons
