Shared Notebook audio location?

[Eric Barr]

All,

I've searched for an answer to this and haven't been able to find any
information. I am using Onenote 2007 with a series of shared notebooks.
There are two client computers and a network share on a server. When I
look on the network share I see my .one files. However, I do not see any of
the audio files.

I understand that there is a local audio cache and it makes sense to me.
But why aren't the recordings on the network share as well? Or am I missing
something? There are two reasons I care. First, the network share is
backed up, whereas the clients are not. Second, having the audio in similar
directories to the .one files makes zipping up a notebook and sending it to
a classmate (who doesn't have access to my server) a much easier process.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it a design decision? Short circuit
between my ears and the .one files are on the network share ?

Thanks,

-eric

The audio files are stored in the .one file on the network share. Try it
- copy the file to another location and try to play the audio. You'll
see that it is all there.

Ilya,

Thanks for the quick response. Embedded audio certianly explains some of
the file size I am experiencing. Funny how there is a schism between the
local & the remote.

Regards,

The audio files are actually embedded in the .one files on your network
share. OneNote separates the actual notes and all embedded files in the
local cache for performance reasons.
