I have a library of different words/phrases, and in order to build sentences at present I add a combination of these phrases into a playlist to make a sentence. Unfortunately if the user is running CPU intensive applications (which most of my users are) there can be a lag of a few seconds mid-sentence (in between phrases).
In order to combat this I was thinking of an approach which will merge the right combination of MP3 files on the fly into an appropriate phrase, save this in the %temp% directory, and then play this 1 MP3 file which should overcome the problem I'm experiencing with gaps.
What is the easiest way to do this in C#? Is there an easy way to do this? The files are fairly small, 3-4 seconds long each, and a sentence can consist of 3-20ish phrases.
MP3 files consist of "frames", that each represent a short snippet (I think around 25 ms) of audio.
So yes, you can just concatenate them without a problem.
