Saber Hand Wind Audio Player - User Guide
track could be in the form "Chapter 1" or "Genesis 1" or "Genesis chapter 1".
Recording Audio Visuals: For programs such as GRN's "Good News" or "Look, Listen and Live"
series use a folder for each book, and a track for each picture. The audio title for each folder would
be the full name and number of the book, eg "Look, Listen and Live Book 1 - Beginning with God".
The audio title for each track would be the full name and number of the picture, eg "Picture 1 -
Adam and the Animals". Tracks for introductions and conclusions usually would not require
additional audio titles.
Recording a Teaching Series: Use a folder for each topic or sermon, and a track for each
individual message or point. Each folder should have an appropriate audio title. Individual tracks
may need audio titles if they are separate messages.
Whatever is the nature of material on the Saber, care should be taken if the audio titles rely on a
number system, as some users may not be able to count.
4.2.3 If you already have the recording
Recording audio titles can be done easily while the rest of the program is being recorded. But what
if you're using a preexisting recording that does not have suitable audio titles?
If you are working with the people group, then it may be possible to record these audio titles
separately in the same language.
If it's not possible to record specific audio titles, then another option is to add generic audio titles to
each folder and/or track. These generic titles could be in the form "Book 1", "Book 2", or "Item 1",
"Item 2", or even just numbers by themselves. Even if these audio titles are not in the vernacular
language, they may still be recognizable to people using the player.
GRN plans to release several sets of generic audio titles over time, in various forms and in a number
of major languages. GRN's SaberCopy program has the option of adding these type of generic audio
titles automatically during the copying process.
4.2.4 Indicating the end of a folder
With many kinds of material, it may also be helpful to give an audio signal for the end of a folder.
Otherwise the listener may have to wait until the next program begins to play before knowing when
to stop.
There are two ways to indicate the end of a folder: the first is with a clear musical finale, and the
second is with a period of silence. It is probably best to use both: a sound or music followed by
several seconds of silence.
The SaberCopy utility also has the option to add these kinds of short audio files to the end of every
folder. GRN will provide a few different files to choose from. Alternatively you can create and use
your own to suit a particular cultural context.
4.3 File Sequence
It is important that the audio files are structured in the correct order so that the Forward File, Back
File, Forward Folder and Back Folder buttons work as expected.
The playback sequence of tracks is controlled by the Title tag and short filename of each audio file.
Operation of the Forward Folder and Back Folder buttons are controlled by the folder names.
