Inappropriate?you can open your media player on computer :) Use few tracks to fast find or professional programs for that.. Also maybe you have to play with your soundcard settings..I use linux so cant help you with windows or mac, ask your OS manufactor for support... -

There are two approaches to playing pre-recorded audio and/or music (please respect copyrights) during your live shows (Talkcasts). In either case, you'll play the audio from your computer using an application such as VoiceEmotion (free without the recording option at http://www.voiceemotion.com/), iTunes, Ubercaster (Mac only - pricey but excellent), etc. To connect your computer to your live call:
1) [Zero budget option] First, install a "SIP-compliant" voice-over-IP (VoIP) client on your computer. Many people use SJPhone (free here: http://www.sjlabs.com/sjp.html). This TalkShoe guide will help you with any configuration problems (http://www.talkshoe.com/se/hrc/resour....
Then create a second account on TalkShoe with a username such as "MyAudioFeed" and, IMPORTANTLY, its own 10-digit PIN.
At show time, sign into your primary TalkShoe account to "Start" and manage your call, and phone in with your primary PIN (this is your voice channel). Connect your computer into your live show using SJPhone and your second PIN (this is your recorded audio channel).
The main downside of this approach is that audio across VoIP can be somewhat unpredictable. Occasional audio "artifacts", echo issues, and random disconnections are not uncommon (and not due to anything either you or TalkShoe can control). Do avoid WiFi connections if you're going this way -- it's just one more variable that can cause trouble.
By the way, I have NOT suggested that you connect a headset/mic to your computer to enable you to talk across this same connection because most computers cannot merge multiple audio streams. It is possible with Virtual Audio Cable software (buy it here -- http://www.screenvirtuoso.com/vac.html) but it's fairly complicated and NOT recommended.

2) [$300 to $500 option] Buy a USB-capable mixer and connect it to a telephone interface device from JKAudio (www.jkaudio.com - we use the "Inline Patch" model ourselves at Talkshoe). This allows you to plug in multiple mics, headphones, various sound sources, and a computer and connect everything across a single landline phone to TalkShoe. The quality is impressive and can be further enhanced by running a local recording.
