download audios in Book - download

I am making an Application consisting of Book inwhich i have added the Images of each line and i want that when i do focus on particular line then the respective audio is played, So if i have 7 lines on one page then i have to download 7 audios from server and currently i am using this approach, So Please suggest me because i have to work on entire book and what is the best way to download audios.

Alternative Approach will be to use a Text to Speech engine like Festival.
IMHO - Downloading each line's audio from the server I think is an Overkill. But that's just me.. :)

Is it possible apply audio effects to all sounds coming out of a specific audio endpoint

I have been looking around online for an answer for some days now, without any luck. So now, I hope one of you might be able to help point me in the right direction.
WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO:
I want to build a C# application where I can apply different types of distortion and pitching effects to all types of audio that comes out of a preselected audio endpoint.
It should not matter if the user is playing an audio stream or an audio file on their system. I want to apply effects to it before the audio leves the selected endpoint.
I have been trying to use some of the windows audio APIs like 'DirectSound' and 'WASAPI' and also the open source project NAudio. sadly all with no luck so far.
WHAT I AM STRUGGLING WITH:
I can't seem to figure out what windows API I should use or if I would have to make my own audio API that takes directly with the windows Audio engine: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/audio/windows-audio-architecture
Please let me know your thoughts, or if you think I am looking at this all wrong.
Simpler solution: It should be possible in a soundcard driver if it can load effects.. SB live successors or EMU based cards are the cheapest and KXproject driver is awesome for those

Cut MP3 file and set it as ringtone

I want to develop an WP7 application to cut/split an MP3 file from marked position. I tried looking for some API to split but no luck. I really appreciate if anybody can guide me on below points.
Is there any control available for WP7 to play and mark the MP3 file for splitting.
Is there any API to cut the selected portion in MP3 file.
Thanks
I am now aware of the Windows Phone lib for that, but...
Perhaps you could do it on a server because there are great MP3 C# libs available
Mp3Sharp
If you could get the mp3 to/from the server, it would be great. To play it on the device, use advice from another StackOverflow question. Enable selecting part of the song, send the info to the server which will then return you the cut mp3 file.
Sounds good to me, at least in theory. (you didn't post any code, so I guess we're just theorizing ;)

Reading PDF in windows phone

In windows phone I have installed adobe reader its very nice but I am not able to jump to particular page I need to start from the starting . Its very difficult if we are reading book please any one have any solution for that.
(reposting my comment as an answer for your approval so this question can get marked as answered):
There is not a good way to do this out of the box. Are you willing to look at using a third party app to accomplish this? Unfortunately I see it as your only option right now. Downside is that you cannot install an app to be used as the "default" PDF reader other than the one adobe provides. I would encourage you to reach out to the Adobe folks and ask for the feature you want to be included in the next release of the app.
The latest adobe reader version released for the windows phone is working fine. We can go to particular pages also many advancement. SO the problem no more exist.
Maybe you could try and ebook reader for windows phone 7:

If it isnt what youre looking for just google for ebook reader,
cheers :)

How can I filter inappropriate youtube videos?

I am developing an application that runs completely unattended and displays some info on fixed monitors (like in an hotel hall). I'm planning to allow users to submit videos using a web site, and those videos will be displayed every day at a certain time.
As this program is completely unattended (no moderation desired), it should automatically filter inappropriate videos (sexual, violence, etc)...
So, the questions are:
Is YouTube filter automatic or does it need X users seeing the video and marking it as inappropriate?
How much time does it take to detect that its inappropriate?
Thanks to anybody that can give me ANY piece of information!
It is dependend on users flagging a video. I really wouldn't do it the way you are proposing, simply because there will be videos slipping through the net you are putting up; and I don't think you want to allow that.

Converting uploaded videos to .flv and having them added to my website

I plan to open a smaller and more specialised Youtube like site where users can upload their videos in a variety of formats and it will be converted to .FLV, and then posted on the website.
Most of the code I can handle myself, but I wanted to get some feedback on the uploading and converting stage of this. I'm planning to have the converting done on a separate server, independent of the one hosting the site. How would I go about converting the videos?
I checked out ffmpeg, would this be the best option to use? I want the videos in both high and low quality so it would be preferable to choose the bitrate.
Thanks.
Yes, ffmpeg would be the best option. It's simplest and most versatile.
Take a look at videopress.com - the video sharing service for wordpress.com. The entire solution is open source and uses ffmpeg to transcode video into multiple formats for embedding in websites.
You can access the code at http://code.trac.wordpress.org/
You should be able to either use this out of the box or customise if for your particular project.
You might also find something like Panda (http://pandastream.com) useful. It's an open source video encoding service.
