I received some information via e-mail. Actually a few. One person told me about CPP and Delphi components, ActiveX and such.
Thank you very much for you to care about this software.
I looked at the things the one recommended.
New Audio Components v.2.5 (for Delphi)
Their (or his) Demo “Recorder”, did not record anything. I changed my Windows’ mixer setting, but it did not work either. So I did not want to try more. I threw them to the Trash.
AudioLab v.4.3.1 for Visual Studio, Cpp Builder, Delphi…
This is heavy duty! And it worked, I could record the sound. It was very easy, too. But how to do more than very simple? Their demo works but “So what?”, I must say.
Their help is not at all helpful, but they explain so many classes they have done. Easy but a bit more advanced demo could not be wrong.
It is free for Non-profit products, but without source code. They have made some silly dialogue, too. They were a little rush of new version or what?
Without the help that really helps, also demo as not good enough. What if it is really good! There is nothing to do with me but I think they will lose many customers.
And I could not play the MIDI file with it. They want to say it’s “Audio Stuff” blah blah blah …
It feels like this is pretty useless.
I still have it on my computer, because it is free, but I do not think I will use them.
I’ve made a little progress.
This is the next version.
Small numbers at the end of the version number can be a little more then when I release it.
A new interesting feature there. Do you see it? I do not mean to Skins. You can record sound from other audio sources. So far, I have tested with YouTube, Internet radio, DVD, CD, Windows Media Player, RealAudio Player, Quick Time … and it worked!
Once again.
Thank you, you told me about it, Mr… It was actually quite fun to examine them.

New update (version 1.0.4.1338) has releaced.
Works XP, Vista and Se7en
New Features
- A few buttons to make the template easy.
- File encryption, decryption function for your safety.
It is indeed the encryption and decryption, which is the biggest change in this version.
These features are designed to protect your password, but you can use these functions to protect your programs, zip files or whatever. Things you want to keep secret for other people.
Such cases
Maybe you want to give something away to your friends but just friends.
Use this software and encrypt it you want to give away with password, so that nobody can open it.
Give it to him or her, this program (GPW) and password so that he can decrypt the file.
Download (395 KB)
Unzip it and use it. It doesn’t have setup program.
This zip file includes only one file “GPW.exe”.

I want very simple program to calculate hashes. So I made it myself.
I test it now.
I use freeware SKIN.
I’ve tried to create MidiToWav with Microsoft Visual Studio Visual C++.Net2008 which is installed on my Vista. I managed to open and play the MIDI file.
It seems only to use the DirectX SDK, and I did it and it was almost easy. Too easy, one can say. It worked well in Vista and 7, but not XP. When I double clicked on the EXE file, it said I need to download .Net Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 which is 231,5 MB.
My XP is “XPPro SP2″ and there is no Framework 3.5. It is an irony that the program file is less than 100 KB and to use it, I had to download 231,5 MB.
I checked the Visual Studio Project Property, where I see I always use .NET2 or .NET3 regardless, I want to or not. Soon there will be 4. It is the way Microsoft wants, I think. It makes easy and secure, for both users and developers, I ought to keep up with MS, but it feels wrong.
So, I terminated the project “MidiToWav” in Visual C++.Net.
I have good news too.
I learned that I could use DirectX, and someone made Delphi Unit. I can use IT.
I got it now!
“Now?”, you say.
It seems to be available Visual Studio 2010 soon, but I’ve finally got 2008. So I tested Visual C#.
And it works!

It happened like this when I wanted to use the Web Resizer on Vista.
When I would look at the picture, or try resize the picture, showed a surprising statement (Actually loops error message when I wanted to resize images). And I could not exit the program without using the Windows Task Manager.
The problem occurs when Windows dumped memory. – Think that Windows was shut down and restart and you have your login screen after a screen saver with power saving function or without a screen saver. – And now start the Web Resizer and wish to view the image or so on, as it happens.
Unfortunately I cannot do anything for this problem, it is in fact Windows itself to do. That is the way you can do right now is to reboot the computer.
Some people wonder how I input MP3 Tag. Naturally I do not own certain software. I made one for myself. I added it a few additional settings to be more attractive for everyone.
It supports ID3v1, and ID3v2, you can even play MP3 sound with this one as well.
Preferred users: You are making your own sound files just like me.
If you would like to play sound files, you need MS Direct X (people use to have it).
