Re: Rockbox Questions
Hi there: Look at the Iaudio X5 from COWON America. Rockbox works on this one doesn't have the problems of the IPods.

Okay, I have some questions about Rockbox that I didn't see answered/asked in my search of the archives. With tax time coming up, since my birthday falls shortly after we get our refund, I'm thinking of trying to convince my wife to get me an iPod. First, I see from looking at Rockbox's site that it does work with the 60-gig iPod, but not the 80GB yet. Anyone know if the developers plan to make Rockbox useable with the 80-gig? Yes, I know 60 should be enough, but I have a HUGE music collection. :-) Second, I know there are other MP3 players out there, but is there one with which Rockbox will work that has the storage capacity of the 60GB iPod? Any plans to make it work with Zune? Finally, since they can apparently be played on the iPod, will Rockbox work with content purchased from Audible.com? Okay, one more question, actually...Who IS the developer of Rockbox? Is it a blind/VI person? I ask because I'd assume it is because let's face it, many sighted people don't think to include speech capabilities in their software...But at the same time, in looking at rockbox.org, it looks like it offers some great things for the sighted users as well...Just curious.

Ots DJ is very accessible via JAWS if you use Snowman's scripts, which are very reasonably priced. SAM Broadcaster is a real bear. There are things in that software, like the clock wheels, to which we will never have access. I think saying the Station Playlist products are a toy compared with SAM and Ots DJ is a bit of an overstatement, and even if it turns out to be true, I give the author of that system all the credit and kudos in the world for making and keeping it accessible without any scripts or set files or anything. Louis Louw (SAM) refuses to even talk about accessibility; the Ots folks made a big deal about it back when they first came out and were selling their software for 69 dollars. Now that they're in the high-priced DJ market, they've forgotten everything they ever told us they'd work on to improve accessibility. And that damn echo is enough to drive me to drink, and I'm not a drinkin' man.

The Quote unquote legendary Shure SM58. the manufacturer's suggested retail price for a 58 is well over $99, possibly $199. the manufacturer's suggested retail price for an Audio Technica Atr30 seems to have dipped from $79 down to $39, which is what I've seen it going for for years. And the specifications are just as good, and the sound is up there to proove it. At the price of a 58, or possibly less, and I am perfectly qualified to say this because I've done it, you can get one hell of a condenser microphone. Look at anything made by cad and you'll see of what I speak. But, again, the Shure SM58 is marketed as a classic. It is. It's a throwback to the days when there was no better value, without the price decrease that would befit a mic like the 58 based on how it sounds. Now there is better value in the mic world.

Re: Clarifying M issue with the 58, was Re: mic
Chris, You hit the nail on the head! We are not talking conventional broadcasting here, we are only talking about the internet where the bandwidth is narrow to begin with Whether you use a thousand dollar mike or a fifty dollar mike the end results are going to be the same when you take the available bandwidth into consideration. In order to compensate for the difference in bandwidth some broadcasters will go as far as to ad audio processing to the mix. They will enhance the audio by putting emphasis on certain frequencies giving the impression that one is listening to good audio. With audio processing It is very easy to trick the human ear into thinking that what you are listening too is top notch quality, when in reality we are only masking it. The other day there was a debate about cassette tape verses CD. We have to keep in mind that the faster the tape travels across the heads the better the audio quality. Back in the days of reel to reel tape recorders we had several tape speeds to choose from, 1 and 7 eights, 3 and 3 quarters, 7 and one half, 15, and 30 The laddered two speeds where mainly used by broadcasters. Personally I find the phonograph record to be the best, as there is a fullness and warmth to the sound provided that you don't have a record with a lot of pops on it. The price of mixers and microphones have come down considerably over the years. I can get a good microphone for around 50 dollars and a Barrenger mixer with all of the bells and whistles for about the same. Many broadcasters are now using off the shelf equipment for daily use, as the quality is as good as some of the mid priced commercial stuff. For an example if an off the shelf CD player packs it in you simply throw it away and get a new one, as the labour of repairing it would simply be too expensive In conclusion if one is setting up an internet radio station there is no need to go into deep debt in order to achieve a good sound. One should be able to set up an internet station for well under 500 dollars. Provided that you have a computer your major cost will be the software, and that too is dropping in cost. Hope this helps. . . . . ginal Message - From: Chris Skarstad [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 1:44 AM Subject: Re: Clarifying M issue with the 58, was Re: mic My point exactly, Bob.

There may be some confusion to exactly what an XLR plug looks like. The XLR plug is generally used in the broadcast industry. It can also be found on high quality microphones.

Like Bob said Corey, it's not really gonna matter much if you use a $50 headset mic, or a $200 mic, because of the sound quality you're dealing with. Even $50 mics produce sound that is good enough for that type of situation. You should definitely consider getting some kind of mixer or some kind of processing.

Re: Clarifying M issue with the 58, was Re: mic
Well, if we are talking internet radio here there is certainly a good choice of microphone headset combinations out there that will do the job quite nicely in the 100 dollar price range. You should be looking for a headset microphone combination that has a volume control on the chord. . I would suggest that you try out a few sets and figure out what suits you best and go with it. As you will be wearing this headset for long periods of time comfort should be a big factor in your decision. While you are at it, check out the quality of the microphone as well. Just because the microphone is small, it doesn't necessarily mean that the quality is poor. Television anchor people usually wear lapell microphones, and I can't find anything wrong with them. . . - Original Message - From: Corey Cook [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 11:03 AM Subject: Re: Clarifying M issue with the 58, was Re: mic Yes I am interested in internet broadcasting.

Hi, I don't see how much easier it could be? when you go into juice, press f5. all the podcasts you're subscribed to will be downloaded to your system.

using a mixer
hey all, I am new to the world of internet broadcasting. and I have a question. what is all the talk on here about using a mixer?

We are not talking conventional broadcasting here, we are only talking about the internet where the bandwidth is narrow to begin with Whether you use a thousand dollar mike or a fifty dollar mike the end results are going to be the same when you take the available bandwidth into consideration. In order to compensate for the difference in bandwidth some broadcasters will go as far as to ad audio processing to the mix. They will enhance the audio by putting emphasis on certain frequencies giving the impression that one is listening to good audio. With audio processing It is very easy to trick the human ear into thinking that what you are listening too is top notch quality, when in reality we are only masking it. The other day there was a debate about cassette tape verses CD. We have to keep in mind that the faster the tape travels across the heads the better the audio quality. Back in the days of reel to reel tape recorders we had several tape speeds to choose from, 1 and 7 eights, 3 and 3 quarters, 7 and one half, 15, and 30 The laddered two speeds where mainly used by broadcasters. Personally I find the phonograph record to be the best, as there is a fullness and warmth to the sound provided that you don't have a record with a lot of pops on it. The price of mixers and microphones have come down considerably over the years. I can get a good microphone for around 50 dollars and a Barrenger mixer with all of the bells and whistles for about the same. Many broadcasters are now using off the shelf equipment for daily use, as the quality is as good as some of the mid priced commercial stuff. For an example if an off the shelf CD player packs it in you simply throw it away and get a new one, as the labour of repairing it would simply be too expensive In conclusion if one is setting up an internet radio station there is no need to go into deep debt in order to achieve a good sound. One should be able to set up an internet station for well under 500 dollars. Provided that you have a computer your major cost will be the software, and that too is dropping in cost.

RE: using a mixer
you use it for voice overs and music tracks although you can do it with SoundForge goldwave or studio recorder. You can broadcast without a mixer, but if you want to do a show with two people on mics or use a cd player then a mixer might be nice. I strongly suggest that you google some tutorials on broadcasting and equipment. I've seen several on mics, mixers, and software. Also, basic explanations of bit rates and things like limiters and compressers. These tutorials are all over the web and you should learn as much as you can before you try to choose equipment and software.

Ots DJ is very accessible via JAWS if you use Snowman's scripts, which are very reasonably priced. SAM Broadcaster is a real bear. There are things in that software, like the clock wheels, to which we will never have access. I think saying the Station Playlist products are a toy compared with SAM and Ots DJ is a bit of an overstatement, and even if it turns out to be true, I give the author of that system all the credit and kudos in the world for making and keeping it accessible without any scripts or set files or anything. Louis Louw (SAM) refuses to even talk about accessibility; the Ots folks made a big deal about it back when they first came out and were selling their software for 69 dollars. Now that they're in the high-priced DJ market, they've forgotten everything they ever told us they'd work on to improve accessibility.

Article: Skype Founders Name TV Startup Joost
This article is from the Beta News home page at www.betanews.com. -Steve. Skype Founders Name TV Startup Joost By Nate Mook, BetaNews January 16, 2007, 12:14 PM Skype founders Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis have given a name to their new Internet television startup, which formerly went by the code-name The Venice Project. Now officially dubbed Joost, the company intends to combine a TV-like experience with the flexibility of the Web. Boasting itself as a secure, efficient, piracy-proof Internet platform, Joost hopes to lure television networks and content providers to distribute their videos online, although specifics of the technology are still under wraps. What is known is that Joost will make use of peer-to-peer streaming. Zennstrom and Friis helped pioneer P2P distribution with the file sharing application Kazaa, and later brought that technology to voice and video communication through Skype. The two remain involved in Skype, which was purchased by eBay in 2005. If the pair's past projects are any indication, their newest venture should have no trouble being successful. Kazaa was one of the leading P2P networks behind Napster in the early part of the decade, with millions of users. Skype in just three years has amassed over 100 million users worldwide, and is the world's fastest growing online messaging program. According to reports, Zennstrom will invest in the company, although play a limited role in the overall product. Much of that work would be left to Friis, who would spend a good deal of time developing the business model behind the new service.

The software, which plays the television streams as full-screen video, works only on PCs, although the company is working to support the Macintosh platform as well. We've received positive and constructive feedback from our early beta-testers and are now at a stage where we're ready to reveal our true brand, said Joost CEO Fredrik de Wahl.

Hi, If you want the 5.1 in AC3, DVD Decrypter does this. It's a bit weird to get the files, so if you want I'll write you offlist with instructions, but if you just want it in OGG or whatever else, as far as I know only OGG supports 5.1, DVD Audio Extractor is for you. Speaking of, how much is it, and does the site support PayPal? I'm curious so that if I can get OGG files in one step for a reasonably cheap price instead of getting AC3 then going to OGG, I'll take it. Thakns Brandon Studio Montebello wrote: Hey Brandon!

We are not talking conventional broadcasting here, we are only talking about the internet where the bandwidth is narrow to begin with Whether you use a thousand dollar mike or a fifty dollar mike the end results are going to be the same when you take the available bandwidth into consideration. In order to compensate for the difference in bandwidth some broadcasters will go as far as to ad audio processing to the mix. They will enhance the audio by putting emphasis on certain frequencies giving the impression that one is listening to good audio. With audio processing It is very easy to trick the human ear into thinking that what you are listening too is top notch quality, when in reality we are only masking it. The other day there was a debate about cassette tape verses CD. We have to keep in mind that the faster the tape travels across the heads the better the audio quality. Back in the days of reel to reel tape recorders we had several tape speeds to choose from, 1 and 7 eights, 3 and 3 quarters, 7 and one half, 15, and 30 The laddered two speeds where mainly used by broadcasters. Personally I find the phonograph record to be the best, as there is a fullness and warmth to the sound provided that you don't have a record with a lot of pops on it. The price of mixers and microphones have come down considerably over the years. I can get a good microphone for around 50 dollars and a Barrenger mixer with all of the bells and whistles for about the same. Many broadcasters are now using off the shelf equipment for daily use, as the quality is as good as some of the mid priced commercial stuff. For an example if an off the shelf CD player packs it in you simply throw it away and get a new one, as the labour of repairing it would simply be too expensive In conclusion if one is setting up an internet radio station there is no need to go into deep debt in order to achieve a good sound. One should be able to set up an internet station for well under 500 dollars. Provided that you have a computer your major cost will be the software, and that too is dropping in cost. Hope this helps. . . . . ginal Message - From: Chris Skarstad [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

The Quote unquote legendary Shure SM58. the manufacturer's suggested retail price for a 58 is well over $99, possibly $199. the manufacturer's suggested retail price for an Audio Technica Atr30 seems to have dipped from $79 down to $39, which is what I've seen it going for for years.

At the price of a 58, or possibly less, and I am perfectly qualified to say this because I've done it, you can get one hell of a condenser microphone. Look at anything made by cad and you'll see of what I speak. But, again, the Shure SM58 is marketed as a classic. It is. It's a throwback to the days when there was no better value, without the price decrease that would befit a mic like the 58 based on how it sounds. Now there is better value in the mic world. Do your research before settling on market-hype, because market-hype will kill you. It has done that to me. - Original Message - From: Chris Skarstad [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 5:00 PM Subject: Re: mic over-rated?

RE: my next question
use an external synthesizer or a second sound card. Again, I would urge you to check the main menu archives or tutorials where you will get a good grounding in broadcasting. You can hear how several programs work and better evaluate your needs and learning curve. Some people will be willing to help you, but you will need to read manuals and help files. Some of these programs take a while to learn. You also need to have a good knowledge of your screen reader. I've had people offer to walk me through set up on difficult programs and then disappear at the last minute. Basically, it's up to you. Lists like these are good, but they can only take you so far...
