Emoticon audibles
February 26, 2008 on 1:18 pm | In Features, Fun Stuff |
Ever wondered what the the devil’s laugh would sound like when you send the emoticon? 
Or wished that you could send a loud emoticon smooch over to your sweetie on Yahoo! Messenger? 
Then you’re in luck! A few of our favorite emoticons have found a second career as audibles. Audibles are animated characters with sound that you can send to a friend while you IM. You’ll find eight emoticon audibles to choose from including the cowboy, happy face, the devil, and more.
To try out the new emoticon audibles, click the audibles icon (the one with the lips on it) above the text box in your IM window (Yahoo! Messenger 8.1 or 9.0 only). Click the More Audibles button on the right, then “See All Audibles”. Then select “Emoticons” from the list.
Emoticons, let your voices be heard.

Wow.. windows only of course, right? Why are there features for the Windows version that arent on the Mac version? Everyone knows by now that Macs are perfectly capable of doing the same things as Windows PCs are..

Until now i was using the ones from International -> Chinese -> Taiwan .I dont’ understand what they are saying but they look great
The new ones look cool. But i hope there will be more. My favorite is the “Angry” one.

Follow these steps to access audibles from Yahoo! Messenger:
When you’re in an IM conversation, click the audibles icon (the one with the lips on it) above the text box in your IM window (Yahoo! Messenger 8.1 or 9.0 only). Click the More Audibles button on the right, then “See All Audibles”. Then select “Emoticons” from the list.

These audibles appear to be .swf files. Is there some way I can run them on my Mac? Is it Flash? What version of Flash would play them? Could it be dragged into a Web browser? I use Adium, which displays a link to the .swf file, but clicking it doesn’t run anything. How do I run the .swf file?

Thanks.

Hi AP,
The Mac version does not have audibles in it. Only versions 8.1 or 9.0 Beta for Windows has them. Thanks,

hi Sarah,
the audibles in my messenger changed language to chinese. i don’t know how it happened. i used to have english audibles, i want ‘em back. i hope you can help me. thanx.
Comment by mackie — June 16, 2008 #
Hi Mackie,
To change your audibles back, just click on the audible icon in your IM window, and then select “More audibles” up in the top right portion of the audible screen. From here, you can select any of the other types of audibles you prefer, or, a different language (under the International folder).
Hope this helps!
Best,
Melissa

I AM VERY UPSET THAT YAHOO STILL DOES NOT HAVE AUDIBLES FOR MAC USERS ON MESSENGER. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A STUPID MAC WHO I HAVE BUGGED FOR 2 YRS TO GET ON YAHOO AND CONVERSE LIVE WITH ME BECAUSE OF THE AUDIBLES AND SHE FINALLY INSTALLED IT. SO NOW I HAVE BEEN SENDING THEM TO HER, AND ONLY RECENTLY FOUND THAT SHE WAS NOT SEEING THEM, AND NOW COME TO FIND OUT SHE CANT SEE THEM IF YOU DONT HAVE THEM FOR MAC.

hi there.. please help me here.. I’ve downloaded the latest version of YM, that is 9.0.. I do have the audibles in it, but there is no emoticons in the audibles.. HELP!!!!
Comment by zie — August 20, 2008 #
All you people complaining about Macs, get over it. You knew from the beginning that you wouldn’t have the same things available on a Windows computer. Why opt for Mac in the first place? Not like they’re trying to be compatible with anybody. Mac sucks!
Comment by Chuck — August 22, 2008 #
I ‘m so sorry that there is no emoticons in the audibles . Please help me !!!

Comment by lindadanko — September 1, 2008 #
I cannot get my audibles to talk,as they are suppose to, like the lips,, closer, closer get closer is completly silent, Freaking me out……..HELP
Comment by Unessia Clark — September 19, 2008 #
@Unessia Clark-
You can check your Preferences to make sure Audibles sound is turned on. Go to the Messenger menu, choose Preferences, then select “Messages” on the left hand menu. You’ll see a check box on the right side that says “Always play audio when I send or receive audibles”. Make sure that box is checked.

I don’t find “emoticons” in audibles. Is there a way I can add new audibles to my messenger?
Comment by Rashid — September 23, 2008 #
@Rashid -
They should appear in your Audible menu. Click the Audible button, then click the “more Audibles” button, click “See All Audibles”, then click “Emoticons” in the list. Emoticon audibles are available in Yahoo! Messenger 8.1 and 9.0.

AUDIBLES FOR MAC
I saw a few posts above…. We need AUDIBLES for MAC. The Macs are getting popular, so it’s time that Yahoo takes a look at updating their Mac version.
BTW: We use both Mac/Windows here at home, so we get to work with both versions. The Mac version is kinda sparse.
Thanks.
