...how the heck do you pronounce "Lieblich Gedact"?

(Apparently it's German.)

I think that would be a (rather common) mistyping. I assume that 
gedac*k*t was meant. The lonely 'c' in 'Gedact' does strike me as rather 
ungerman.

Type each word into dict.cc (it's gedacht by the way) and then you get a 
little speaker icon on the right where you can hear a human saying the word 
(for most words, computer generated for others).

Wikipedia and the online organ stop dictionary concur.

Hey, I'm only telling you what's physically written on the knob! ;-)

I've recorded it, but need a little help on attaching it to a newsgroup 
post. What was again the name of the linux program to encode such stuff?

...so there you have it then. Quite conclusively.

Thanks. ;-)



Now, if anybody has a clue what the correct pronounciation for 
"Diapason" is... (Even though that's English, I'm not sure exactly how 
it's supposed to be pronounced.)

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/diapason

  That site has audio files for most of the words.
