Michael Lang
I'm very behind on my list mail due to travel, so have only now just read the tragic news of Michael's death and would very much like to pay my respects. It was my great honour to get to know Michael when he contacted me with a view to submitting reviews for Main Menu back in 2002. Michael had quite a pronounced German accent, and he was very conscious of this, wondering if he really was good enough to submit reviews in English for Main Menu. I assured him he didn't have to worry. When I heard the first review he sent me, on the Plextalk PTR1, I was amazed! His command of the English language was outstanding. When he put a review together, it was unbelievably thorough, and scrupulously fair. Michael was, to many of us, the authority when it came to the intricacies and particulars of many portable music and DAISY players. He would give generously of his time and his information to help all of us. It was like he was an encyclopedia on the subject, which he very much made his specialty. I got to know Michael more personally when he was kind enough to help me with the German BrailleNote I was working on in 2003. The fact that he was such a good English speaker as well as a native German speaker, and that he wasn't afraid to be candid about product deficits, made him invaluable. Michael would tell me sometimes that he had dreadful trouble keeping a regular sleep pattern, something which impacts on many of us who are blind and don't have light perception. It was so bad that he said he felt it really had an impact on employability for him. He was unassuming, perhaps even lacking in confidence. But he was a very smart and giving man. I'm deeply shocked by his passing, and can only say that I'm privileged to have worked and talked with him. I hope we will remember Michael by giving freely of our knowledge as he did, and also by making a fresh commitment to look out for each other. Maybe if we all take time to listen to one another's stories, to reach out, to be sensitive to one another's needs and struggles, then just maybe we can offer hope at a time when someone truly needs it. I'll miss him very much. Jonathan Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: short Wave radio questions
Recently my Sangean AS909 gave up the ghost, so I did some research on what's out there. In the end I chose the Eton E1, made by Grundig. In the US, there is a version of the Eton E1 that also offers XM capability. The E1 is the best receiver I've owned since my good old Sony 2010, and there really is no other portable out there that came close on specs. The wide filter makes broadcast AM sound fantastic. Even for AM though, you do need to have the antenna extended. Here's some of what universal Radio has to say about it. The Etón E1 XM (originally announced as the Grundig Satellit 900) is the world's first radio that combines AM, FM, shortwave and XM Satellite radio into one ultra high-performance unit. In development for nearly ten years, in collaboration with RL Drake Company and XM Satellite Radio, the E1 XM is simply the finest full-sized portable in the world. The E1 is an elegant confluence of performance, features and capabilities. The look, feel and finish of this radio is superb. The solid, quality feel is second to none. The digitally synthesized, dual conversion shortwave tuner covers all shortwave frequencies. Adjacent frequency interference can be minimized or eliminated with a choice of three bandwidths [7.0, 4.0, 2.5 kHz]. The sideband selectable Synchronous AM Detector further minimizes adjacent frequency interference and reduces fading distortion of AM signals. IF Passband Tuning is yet another advanced feature that functions in AM and SSB modes to reject interference. AGC is selectable at fast or slow. High dynamic range permits the detection of weak signals in the presence of strong signals. All this coupled with great sensitivity will bring in stations from every part of the globe. Organizing your stations is facilitated by 500 user programmable presets with alpha labeling, plus 1200 user definable country memories, for a total of 1700 presets. You can tune this radio many ways such as: direct shortwave band entry, direct frequency entry, up-down tuning and scanning. Plus you can tune the bands with the good old fashioned tuning knob (that has new fashioned variable-rate tuning). There is also a dual-event programmable timer. Whether you are listening to AM, shortwave, FM or XM, you will experience superior audio quality via a bridged type audio amplifier, large built in speaker and continuous bass and treble tone controls. Stereo line-level output is provided for recording or routing the audio into another device such as a home stereo. The absolutely stunning LCD has 4 levels of backlighting and instantly shows you the complete status of your radio. Many receiver parameters such as AM step, FM coverage, beep, kHz/MHz entry etc., can be set to your personal taste via the preference menu. The E1 XM has a built in telescopic antenna for AM, shortwave and FM reception. Additionally there is a switchable antenna jack [KOK] for an external antenna. There are jacks for Line Input, Line Output, earphones, and external speaker. The E1 XM comes with an AC adapter or may be operated from four D cells (not included). 13.1 x 7.1 x 2.3 inches 4 lbs. 3oz. Assembled in India. This model is not available for export. 1. XM Satellite Radio ready 2. Continuous Shortwave with Selectable Single Sideband (SSB) Reception 3. Dual Conversion Superheterodyne Circuit Design 4. Digitally Synthesized PLL Tuner with Synchronous Detector 5. Passband Tuning and Selectable Bandwidth Filters 6. 1700 Station Presets with Memory Scan Function 6. Direct Keypad Entry 7. 5.7 inches Oversized Illuminated Multi-Function Dot-Matrix LCD Screen 8. Stereo Line-Level Audio Inputs/Outputs and External Antenna Connections 9. Dual Clocks and Programmable Timers 10. Adjustable Snooze/Sleep 11. Separate Bass and Treble Controls 12. Programmable preference settings Note: The CNP2000 CNP2000H XM module and docking units are available separately. Both are required for XM reception along with an XM activation and monthly subscription fee. E1 users should order the CNP2000 DUO to obtain both pieces. What's also good is that this radio is pretty accessible. Obviously some memorising is involved because we don't have access to the display, however the menu system can be accessed via the keypad, so for example you know that to toggle between stereo and mono mode on FM, you press the menu key followed by 21. I have a cheat sheet on my PAC mate that contains all these codes, and it does allow me to configure the radio, for instance when I travel to the US and need to set it for 10 khz spacing. This radio isn't pocket sized by any means. But it is still portable and it sounds sweet, You can find many reviews of the E1 praising its selectivity and sensitivity. Hope this helps.

Slim Server 7.0
Hello, Apologies if this has been discussed here already but I didn't see it. Folks here turned me on to the Squeeze Box more than a year ago and I've been very pleased. However, I just updated to the 7.0 version of the Slim Server Software for streaming to a Squeeze Box and initial impressions are that the server software is less accessible than the 6.5 version. You can switch back to the classic interface which resolves most of the challenges. The main reason I updated was because now the Pandora music service is intigrated into the server software. Earlier you had to connect to the Squeeze Network. The biggest issues I noticed in the 7.0 server software were numerous instances of missing alt text, actionable UI elements no longer created as standard HTML links and many more areas that require use of a mouse. For example to play an entry in the 7.0 server software, you now need to use whatever mechanism your screen reader has for dealing with onmouseovers to get a menu of things like play and add to play list to appear.

In the end I chose the Eton E1, made by Grundig. In the US, there is a version of the Eton E1 that also offers XM capability. The E1 is the best receiver I've owned since my good old Sony 2010, and there really is no other portable out there that came close on specs. The wide filter makes broadcast AM sound fantastic. Even for AM though, you do need to have the antenna extended. Here's some of what universal Radio has to say about it. The Etón E1 XM (originally announced as the Grundig Satellit 900) is the world's first radio that combines AM, FM, shortwave and XM Satellite radio into one ultra high-performance unit. In development for nearly ten years, in collaboration with RL Drake Company and XM Satellite Radio, the E1 XM is simply the finest full-sized portable in the world. The E1 is an elegant confluence of performance, features and capabilities. The look, feel and finish of this radio is superb. The solid, quality feel is second to none. The digitally synthesized, dual conversion shortwave tuner covers all shortwave frequencies. Adjacent frequency interference can be minimized or eliminated with a choice of three bandwidths [7.0, 4.0, 2.5 kHz]. The sideband selectable Synchronous AM Detector further minimizes adjacent frequency interference and reduces fading distortion of AM signals. IF Passband Tuning is yet another advanced feature that functions in AM and SSB modes to reject interference. AGC is selectable at fast or slow. High dynamic range permits the detection of weak signals in the presence of strong signals. All this coupled with great sensitivity will bring in stations from every part of the globe. Organizing your stations is facilitated by 500 user programmable presets with alpha labeling, plus 1200 user definable country memories, for a total of 1700 presets.

Folks here turned me on to the Squeeze Box more than a year ago and I've been very pleased. However, I just updated to the 7.0 version of the Slim Server Software for streaming to a Squeeze Box and initial impressions are that the server software is less accessible than the 6.5 version. You can switch back to the classic interface which resolves most of the challenges. The main reason I updated was because now the Pandora music service is intigrated into the server software. Earlier you had to connect to the Squeeze Network. The biggest issues I noticed in the 7.0 server software were numerous instances of missing alt text, actionable UI elements no longer created as standard HTML links and many more areas that require use of a mouse. For example to play an entry in the 7.0 server software, you now need to use whatever mechanism your screen reader has for dealing with onmouseovers to get a menu of things like play and add to play list to appear.

Folks here turned me on to the Squeeze Box more than a year ago and I've been very pleased. However, I just updated to the 7.0 version of the Slim Server Software for streaming to a Squeeze Box and initial impressions are that the server software is less accessible than the 6.5 version. You can switch back to the classic interface which resolves most of the challenges. The main reason I updated was because now the Pandora music service is intigrated into the server software. Earlier you had to connect to the Squeeze Network. The biggest issues I noticed in the 7.0 server software were numerous instances of missing alt text, actionable UI elements no longer created as standard HTML links and many more areas that require use of a mouse. For example to play an entry in the 7.0 server software, you now need to use whatever mechanism your screen reader has for dealing with onmouseovers to get a menu of things like play and add to play list to appear.

Audition Scripts
Hi I've been using the scripts for years but now I need to put them on a new machine they're not working yet on the Multitrack view. Can anyone help. I believe they don't work with jaws later then version 7 - when I looked for various version 7s I found a few and the one I had in which the scripts worked wasn't there. I've downloaded the latest version 7 anyway 7.1.500 I've made sure the scripts are in the right folder - the enu for my version 7. I seem to remember that if they didn't work before some scripts might need re-compiling. I can't remember how to do this. Secondly you could press Insert control and T to train the scripts but so far I can't get this to work either. Can anyone clarify any of these points? Thanks.

RE: short Wave radio questions
Now a question here (given that I haven't pulled my shortwave receiver out for a good while), what's on shortwave these days? I know that the BBC don't broadcast to Europe or Asia any longer, just to Africa and in any case (even supposing they did broadcast to Asia or Australia) I get far better quality from a satellite or internet feed. Last I looked on the SW bands, the bands were full of Christian-type broadcasters, hardly my cup of tea but obviously someone likes them. I'm just asking the question because $700.00 or more seems a damn high price to pay for a shortwave receiver given that you may not find all that much on the bands or given that higher quality audio alternatives may be available, that sort of money could just about buy me a decent satellite receiver and it could certainly! Buy me more Internet band width than I can comprehend.. As a final note to all this and for those of you who don't have $700.00 or so and you want a cheaper solution (even cheaper than the Sony I have which is about $350.00) then a lot of people talk in glowing terms about some of the wind-up shortwave sets available.

Thoughts and questions on Jango
Hi everyone. Oh I just love http://www.Jango.com! However, I do have a few questions I'm hoping someone out there can help me with. The first question concerns controlling the volume. I do see a graphic that Jaws reads as volume handle, but it doesn't appear to do anything. Is there a way I can control the player volume independently of the Windows volume control? This has been a drawback to using many players, as sometimes the music overpowers Jaws. Secondly, I am curious what codec they are using? Is it MP3, Windows media or what? I did look in the FAQ, but it doesn't say. Thirdly, how does it come up with your username? Does it just use the part of your E-mail to the left of the at sign? I wanted to be caneprints, and it did indeed let me have that username. Do any of you have a Jango profile? I'm not really used to social networking and streaming together like this, and of course Pandora was a disappointment, but it seems like a pretty cool concept. It's almost spooky though how quickly it learns the type of music you like. Heck, I have such diverse musical tastes that I never thought any software would be able to make me happy, but I find that I'm skipping fewer and fewer songs now the more I hang out at Jango.
