Eliminating Donald Duck
Thursday, April 25, 2002 2:15 am
Editor's Note: Despite the success of this teaching format, eventually JJ discontinued the "teaching experiment" due to demands
on his time to write the next book in "The Immortal" series. It was also discovered that there
were technical problems with the recording and playback of the MP3 files, that required the audio files to be either re-recorded or removed. Again, because
of the demands on JJ's time, it was decided to remove the files, and so they are no longer available in this format.
However, as the MP3 files were voluntarily transcribed from the original audio/MP3 versions of the "lessons," by members of
The Keys Of Knowledge
spiritual discussion group, and can be read in and at the following articles here in FreeRead Archives:
False Christs & More
Unity Of Words = Unity Of Power
Universe - Authority Seed Thoughts
Becoming What We've Never Been
Going Where We've Never Gone Before
True Authority
Illusion and Self Correction
The Importance Of Knowledge
The Desire To Gather
Please be aware that there are other metaphysical, esoteric and spiritual "lessons" entitled "Teachings For The New Age" -- all recorded by JJ Dewey in his
own voice -- that are available as audio podcasts in MP3 format that can be listened to online and/or downloaded for free onto your computer's hard drive and
listened to at your convenience on any device that plays MP3 files. These podcasts can be found
at: Podcast Index

My Friends,
Your comments on the audio are encouraging. The only problem seems to be that some are getting a high speed playback where I sound like Donald Duck. I may
sound strange at times, but this is not the real me. I'm not sure what is causing this for I cannot duplicate this effect on my end if I try. I use a
Mac and am not familiar with all the quirks of the PC and Windows. It sounds like the effect may be occurring when the file is not downloaded but played on
line. If this is the case download the file and then play it on your MP3 Player.
If you happened to get the high speed effect and then solved the problem, please share with us what you did. If you can play the file on line without
downloading let us know what software or browser you are using and what you did. If you downloaded the files on to a folder on your hard drive and still
get high speed when you play let us know what you are doing and the software and browser you use. We'll try and get the best system going for you PC folk
so future participants have an easier time.
Larry reported a problem playing it in Musicbox, but it works fine on my Mac Version. I had a friend who downloaded the PC version of Musicbox and the
process of playing MP3 on it sounded more complicated than Mac version but he finally figured it out and then it worked fine.
Larry mentioned that he had more success using RealJukebox 2. This is put out by Real Player and I use this sometimes and it plays MP3's fine on my Mac.

The free version is in small print on the lower left.
You can download either a Mac or PC version.
Generally there are several ways to play MP3's on these players. On most of them you can go to "Open" and then open the file you want to play and hit
the play button.
These files are compressed 100 times smaller than an Audio CD file to make them practical to download from the Internet. It's amazing they sound as
good as they do. After we do this for a while I will make the lessons available in higher quality on CD's.
Thank you for your cooperation. This idea sounds encouraging so far. As John K. says, you can put additional meaning into your inflection and the emphasis
you place on words when we have audio.
