Title: Suggestion for enhancement: Announce Song
Post by: Bob Brehm on July 15, 2002, 11:24:52 pm

Here's one that is tehnically feasible, but I don't know how practical:

Announce the song and/or artist prior to, or at beginning of each new selection. Potential extra revenue and trend setter for JRiver.

That would be really weird.

Careful, zev will want 6 language options.

And maybe we could set the voice's mood.  Angry/Happy/Sexy/Ugly/etc.

Strange.

Actually it should be possible. I'm working on it right now, but not for every song, only when I wonder what I'm playing (you can get lost in the files when they start creeping towards 20 000!). I use Girder, the DVDSpy plug-in (which supports MJB), the Say plug-in and the Micro$oft Speech API. I haven't gotten as far as to test it yet, but it should give an approximation of what I'm playing. Real speech is probably 4-5 years away, but it will come...
