To the very knowledgeable folk of Rail UK Forums. [/butter up]
I am currently running a Pub Quiz at my local, and rather than get the questions from one of the many sites available on line, I tend to write the questions from scratch.
The quiz takes the form of a ten question picture round, four ten question rounds on a specific subject (e.g. Science and Nature, soaps, sport) finishing with a ten question general knowledge round.
I like to vary the subject matter, and I seek feedback from the participants to se if they would like changes made, if the questions are too easy/hard or subject areas they feel may make interesting questions.
Last night, one team suggested a music round might be something a little different, an idea which I am keen to investigate. Initially I have thought of playing a piece of music that is used in a TV advert, and ask the participants to name the Company or Organisation that used the music in an advert.
There will be no problem taking my laptop to the pub, which would give me the ability to play music for broadcast over the PA, and there is WiFi available there, although its stability is questionable from time to time.
Now, my problem is this. Say I want to use this music as one of the questions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZN6wEprr7y
But the link won't even work! The music is Birdy - Wings (Acoustic Version)on You Tube. That link works as a hyperlink off an Open Office Writer document, but not all of my You Tube links on that document appear as a hyperlink.
How do I download the music so I don't have to rely on the pub's flaky WiFi? If this is not possible, is there any way that I can make a directory of ten videos/music files that I can access one at a time. I am looking for a simple way (simple at the pub stage anyway!) to enable me to play ten pieces of music.
Anyone any ideas?
Many thanks
