Accessible PC to TV devices?
Hey, all, I'm thinking about buying a Roku so that we can watch programs streamed from our Windows 7 PC to our TV. Anyone have any ideas about this? Is there something better? We're mostly interested in things like dvd's that our PC canplay but our dvd player can't, (okay, that's not really streaming!), but also stuff from archives from TV shows, such as Commedy Central, CBS, etc. As always, any advice would be much appreciated!

two questions about sound cards.
hi list I have two questions about sound cards. the first question is what is a good sound card for the PC, I am thinking about getting studio play list and I am looking for a good sound card. my second question is, I mentioned above that I am getting studio play list and I am wondering if I could use it on my lap top, if so what USB sound card would be good that's if studio play list can be used with a lap top. any way thanks so much, all opinions would be appreciated.

RE: two questions about sound cards.
The coolest USB sound card that I've seen is the Sound Devices USB Pre2. I know they call it an audio inter-face, but to me that's just another fancy shmancy word for a a pro sound card. It's $650 though. Well worth it in my openion but I know some people don't want to spend a lot no mater what.

RE: two questions about sound cards.
Hi. I use Station Playlist on a laptop with no problem. It works fine. As for a USB sound card, I'm happy with the Startech card I got from my local computer store. If I remember correctly it cost me only $25. It sounds quite good to me over my Bose Acoustic Wave. Have a good day.

Re: encoding older music
I think the best thing to do is just encode some CD's of older recordings at different bit rates.

You're welcome, It really is cool. Go to Blind cool tech.com and listen to Neal Ewer's pod cast of the Sound Devices 744-T recorder in the 2005 aercives, or listen to his Zoom H4N podcast at the part where he tries the Rode NT1-A mike. It's the second recorder he uses. This wil show you what it sounds like for the Preamps are the same ones as the ones on that $4000 recorder. That's why I said that it's well worth it.

RE: encoding older music
Keep in mind that you don't know the history of anything you get free from the web. For example, if you find a site with higher bit rates, you don't know if there wasn't a point where it existed at a lower bit rate. You can't really get sound back that was once lost. When you convert something to MP3 from YouTube, you really don't know what the bit-rate of the audio is that was part of the video. Some of what you are hearing could even be left over from how the audio was encoded as part of the video. Changing the bit rate on the YouTube to MP3 conversion would very likely do nothing in many cases to help the sound because of how it existed before it was converted to MP3. Lots of YouTube stuff sounds good to me, especially compared to old cassettes that I have, but if you are going to analyze how something sounds, whether you can hear the encoding, you have to consider the entire history of the recording. . It is even conceiveable that you could find another 128KB MP3 recording that sounds better than what you got from YouTube because it existed at a higher bit rate before being converted to MP3.

RE: two questions about sound cards.
I know, I kind of thought the same thing. What $650? Are they insaine? But then I went on to read that the Mike Preamps are thoughs of the 744-T recorder which is $4000. So, I imagin that everything else sounds just as good. Like I said, go to www.blindcooltech.com and listen to Neal Ewers's Pod cast on the Zoom H4N recorder. Fast forward to the part where he's trying ourt the Rode NT1-A microphone. He first tries it out on the Zoom, and then he uses the 744-T. You'll hear what this card sounds like at that point. If what Sound Devices says is right which I should think it is, because like I said before, the Preamps are the same ones as the ones in that recorder. Trust me, if I had the $650 on me at this moment, I'ed be calling Sweet Water and buying one. Pluss, it's totally accessible. It's just plug in and play. No software needed. Only the ASIO driver if you want to use it at it's full 192 KHZ 24 Bit quality. That's it. Every thing else has switches on the back. You can even use it stand alone to use it on something like an Ipad Itouch, or an Iphone. How do you like that one? -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dave Bahr Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2011 1:44 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: two questions about sound cards. yeah that's the one I have, I did a conversion project of about 200 records over the summer for an audio archive and that card, the sb x-fi 5.1 pro external usb card, worked fantastically.

Hi! Okay, here's yet another place this player can be bought from, http://www.radioparts.com.au/ProdView.aspx?popup=1Category=SXAA4515Product=34593200ProdDesc=SBBOOM+LOGITECH+SQUEEZE+BOX+BOOM If you go to the above web site you'll also be able to read probably one of the best descriptions of the Squeezebox Boom I've yet seen on the Net. radio Parts in Melbourne Australia also stock the Squeezebox Duet, that's the hi-fi tuner version which can be hooked up to an amp, surround-sound system etc. Orders can be placed online and delivery is quick, I've ordered various items from Radio Parts in the past without problem. Now just to briefly summarise so that people know what I'm talking about, the Squeezebox series are stand-alone devices which can play Internet radio and other media such as your Itunes library, the Squeezebox series are the only stand-alone Internet radios/players I know of which can be accessed by blind people hence you don't need a comptuer to listen to Internet radio anywhere in the house, just a wi-fi connection etc. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

There are some things that may be over kill for me too in the end, but I love sound Devices stuff, and so I figured, that when I can, I'll get it, and therefore have the coolest audio ever, and I have these other things handy should I need them since professional recording is what I'd love to do as a full time job. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dave Scrimenti Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2011 6:09 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: two questions about sound cards. There's a big difference between consumer and pro cards. It depends on what you need. The Sound Devices stuff is made for professional recording, and it does the job well, but it may be overkill for most people. - Original Message - From: Dave Bahr dcba...@gmail.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2011 1:44 PM Subject: Re: two questions about sound cards. yeah that's the one I have, I did a conversion project of about 200 records over the summer for an audio archive and that card, the sb x-fi 5.1 pro external usb card, worked fantastically. I'm curious about this other 650 dollar card though, really? 650 dollars? That seems rather outlandish, unless it comes with its own rack setup or soemthing.
