MP3 Dancers FAQ
What
is MP3Dancer ?
MP3 Dancers are tiny video figures of real
dancers who dance IN RYTHM along the bottom of your computer screen.
MP3Dancer software is FREE : You can download it here.
How does it work ?
When MP3Dancer detects music, it displays a video animation of a
professional dancer. First the dancer appears in true color and waits
to recognize the rhythm. Then the dancer begins to dance to the
rhythm, either in true color or in silhouette mode, according to the
animation on our website for you to download.
Membership, silhouette dancer, true color dancer ?
What is that all ?
When we hire some professional dancers, we create animations both in
true color and in silhouette. If you become a member you will have all
animations, in silhouette and in true color, of every dancers. If you
are not a member we will give you one true color animation and
we will regularly put some free silhouette animations on our website.
Why can't I download all the animations?
Only members can access to all the animations.
How do I become a member ? For how long ?
Check the how
to join section. You'll get a full access that will be
automatically canceled after 30 days membership.
How is the software supposed to work if you are not
a member ?
The software is exactly the same whether you are a member or not.
Only the animations are different.
How many dancers are available ?
Check the
dancers page to see them all.
Is there a Mac Version of MP3 DANCER?
Unfortunately there is no MAC version of MP3 DANCER. Sorry MAC
addicted people.
Our MAC programmer died when he was developing it... His last words were
"nonetheless, I tried..."
We never had a mac developer but that could have been his last words...

"You cannot install the package!" message.
You've just tried to install an MP3 DANCER animation without
downloading the software.
To open the package, you first need to download
the software on your computer.
The Dancer fails to appear automatically and the Dancer does not move to
the rhythm.
Click on the dancer icon in the tool bar and choose an option from the
"music analysis" list box. The SOUND DETECTED message must
appear to have MP3Dancer work properly.
The Options/Music Analysis list box has no entries.
MP3 Dancer needs to sense (record) music you are playing to analyze it.
You must specify where the music comes from : CD, line in, stereo mixer.
To help you with these settings, we display all the possible options in
the Music analysis list box. If the list box is empty, try modify the
recording input from the control panel (exact location depends on your OS
and sound card).
The disable sign is always on.
The disable sign states that MP3 Dancer won't work. MP3 Dancer needs to
sense (record) music to analyze it. It can't work if another application
is using your sound card recording input.So, make sure you don't have
another application using the recording input at the same time.
The dancer appears in true color and then turns into
silhouette.
That's the way it is supposed to work when playing silhouette
animations. You need to become
a member to have access to all the true color animations ;-)
The downloaded MP3Dancer only includes a true color
dancer.
That's right, check this
link to understand why.
The music can't be listened to because of severe
distortions.
This well-known bug sometimes occurs with some OS/soundcard combinations.
It is an audio driver problem which is not connected to MP3Dancer. To
solve it, try to download more recent drivers or acquire another sound
card. When MP3Dancer analyze music, it sets the sound card recording
frequency. With incorrect drivers it will also modify the reading
frequency thus creating severe distortions. If you read music from a CD,
this won't happen.
There is always a pause when the hard disk reads the
next animation?
The dance movement file size varies from 1 to 5 Mb. We use the Windows
cache to load it. One cause could be insufficient memory space or slow
hard drive.
The dancer appears even when there is no music.
This happens when parasite or phantom noise is detected. To reduce
this noise, modify the volume of the recording channels.
