RE: Victor Reader Stream or Book Cents
Hi It all depends on what those new features are and how important they are, perhaps someone on here can tell us what those new features may be? The thing which puts me off the booksense is the battery time, it only lasts 12 hours and doesn't stop using battery time even when it is switched off, the stream shuts off completely.

a question about joint stereo and normal stereo
Hi all! I have a question which is making me curious. when I'm converting wave to mp3 in a convertion program or so, I can see something called joint stereo, and I can also choose if I would like to have it in joint stereo or just stereo. my question is, what's the difference between joint stereo and stereo, I can't seem to hear any difference at all there.

I have SoundTaxi Pro plus Video Rip which of course I purchased. I keep hearing from people who tell me what SoundTaxi can do ... but haven't actually done it themselves.

High George, Joint stereo is, like you have a pare of speakers, but you have a mono block amplifier on each one. Regular stereo, is having those same pare of speakers hooked up to a stereo amplifier.

Re: WINAMP 5.57 and SOME OPERATING SISTEMS
Well, for the longest time, you had to use the direct sound output plugin for that purpose, but a couple of years ago, it became possible to do the same with the waveout as well. I don't know but what they discontinued the waveout due to redundancy, or if my particular copy just didn't have it on board, but I can't imagine even how such a thing could happen. I will observe though, that using the Waveout for volume control was a bit delicate. It had a kind of hair trigger, not taking much of a press on either arrow key to have it move up or down.

Pros and cons of varible bit rate
The subject is a question, not a statement. I have been uploading Main Menu archives as a 128KBPS MP3 file. I see that many people recommend 192KBPS, but there a parts of the show that really don't need that high a bit rate. In fact, I have also read that encoding at too high a bit rate can cause unwanted artifacts just as much as encoding at too low a bit rate. Variable bit rate seems a good choice for me to use, but I would like some thoughts from audio experts. Thanks.

Re: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo
My understanding is that joint stereo is a psychoacoustic trick to try and make lower bit rate encoded files sound better in terms of their channel separation. I don't believe the monoblock analogy is strictly correct. All the advice I have seen is to use normal stereo for decent encoded files at bit rates of 192kbps and higher and only use the joint stereo psychoacoustic trick on very poor files encoded at lower bit rates.

Re: Pros and cons of varible bit rate
I suppose it comes down once again to personal preference, I've been using varriable bit rates for youears. As I understand it, encoding with a varriable bit rate takes a lot longer as the encoder looks at every sample of the song thus deciding what bit rate it should be encoded at, silence for example is encoded at a lower bit rate than a full sample of orchestra sound, minimum and maximum bit rates for variable encoding are set up with your encoding engine such as LAME so for the best and accurate results you're better off doing this sort of thing manually with a command line so use an app which supports this, Exact Audio Copy is an excellent choice here. Their are several methods of VBR encoding, Old and new, new is quicker for those jobs you want out the door fast but quality isn't quite as good if you're picky, with today's flying processor speeds you may as well use Old. Also note that some older players may not handle VBR playback though I haven't struck one that doesn't yet. Suggested minimum and maximum bit rates for VBR? Well just use the minimum and maximum rates available or if you're configuring from a command line or a piece of software that takes full advantage of the LAME-ENC.dll library then 16 bits for the minimum and 320KBPS for the maximum, there are 2 quality settings you have to be aware of here, one is VBR quality and you may wish to change this for certain audio material you're encoding, say music and talking books. The other quality setting leave at maximum, will take longer but far better results. On 27/12/2009, at 6:21 AM, Jamie Pauls wrote: The subject is a question, not a statement.

I've never seen any evidence to suggest that encoding at too high a bit rate can result in unwanted artifacts though I do understand that to broadcast in high bit rate is obviously more challenging in terms of available bandwidth and so this may be a consideration.

Another issue with Total Recorder
Hey listers, Sure hope somebody can help me with this puzzlement regarding Total Recorder. I recently made what I believe to be the mistake of literally accidently downgrading from a higher build of TR, and in the process, had to completely uninstall TR in order to get a completely clean reinstallation. The problem I am having now is that no matter what I try within the settings of TR, for some reason, TR controls my computer's volume at startup, making it necessary to open TR in order to simply press the arrow key on its volume control to get it in line with its own position. In other words, the volume setting in TR is set as high as it will go, but it doesn't give me that volume level until I press the right arrow key, and then everything operates normally, at least as far as I can tell. I have tried every setting in the driver portion of the settings dialog box to no avail, even to the point of going to control panel and removing the driver. When I do that, my volume starts normally. I have selected the option in the drivers section User-mode virtual device driver (Playback/Record through TotalRecorder) (Radio Button). Under this option, I have TR using the driver only when TR is loaded, but still get apparent interference at startup with TR. Now I have been using this program for I guess 10 years, and have never had this kind of problem. So, what gives? Is there something within the registry that I need to tweak? I guess I can live with this state of affairs, but I feel a little insulted at my inability to get to the bottom of this one, at least my technical intelligence and pride are a bit hurt :).

Another issue with Total Recorder - yet another wrinkle
Here's an interesting development. When logging in as my wife, my volume at startup is normal. After logging out of her account, and logging back into mine, startup volume is normal. Where it gets interesting is after restarting and logging into my account, we're back to the previous volume issue. I guess the next thing I'm going to do is go to the \application data folder, and see if there is something else to mess with. I just can't seem to find anything in the troubleshooting section of the help for this one. Maybe there are some forums on the TR site that I haven't been made aware of where someone else might have encountered this issue. Nevertheless, if any of you TR users could give me a pointer or two, it would sure be welcome.

Yeah Chris, believe me, that did cross my mind. Should have included that option in the previous message. Too bad this had to happen over the holidays. On the whole, at least at this point, it looks to be only an annoyance. As long as it doesn't present any major problems besides, I'm sure I can put up with it until things get back to normal in the business world.

I recently made what I believe to be the mistake of literally accidently downgrading from a higher build of TR, and in the process, had to completely uninstall TR in order to get a completely clean reinstallation. The problem I am having now is that no matter what I try within the settings of TR, for some reason, TR controls my computer's volume at startup, making it necessary to open TR in order to simply press the arrow key on its volume control to get it in line with its own position. In other words, the volume setting in TR is set as high as it will go, but it doesn't give me that volume level until I press the right arrow key, and then everything operates normally, at least as far as I can tell. I have tried every setting in the driver portion of the settings dialog box to no avail, even to the point of going to control panel and removing the driver. When I do that, my volume starts normally. I have selected the option in the drivers section User-mode virtual device driver (Playback/Record through TotalRecorder) (Radio Button). Under this option, I have TR using the driver only when TR is loaded, but still get apparent interference at startup with TR.

Re: Pros and cons of varible bit rate
Okay, I just consulted an audio engineer abut what you wrote about minimum bit rates for VBR encoding and here's his response, it also talks about setting VBR quality and I'll have a few words to say about this after his quotation which follows: Well, basically it depends on what you're trying to do. There are several factors that contribute to VBR quality (apart from encoding quality settings of course). Most immediately noticeable is the over-all VBR quality setting, which `weights' the VBR result between the minimum and maximum you set. Imagine VBR as a set of scales swinging everywhere between min. and max. depending on what's going into the encode. VBR quality simply determines how the scales are weighted, either more towards minimum or maximum depending on what you set. The higher VBR Quality, the less the encoder will `throw away', and so the more it will weight the encode towards the higher end of the scale. If the quality is set high enough, you won't achieve *anything* by increasing the minimum; all you'll do is make your file larger for no benefit, since the encoder will waste a load of bandwidth encoding things (such as silence or low frequencies) that don't need it. Conversely, if your VBR Quality setting is too low, the encoder will throw away so much that everything will get pushed towards the lower end, and so the Minimum setting will make a great deal more difference. But even then, all it will do is make your file bigger, and probably it won't help the encode quality, since you shouldn't have set the quality so low in the first place. So, basically, for normal operation, it's a complete waste of time pushing up the minimum. The exception is if you have a hardware player that can't cope with very low bitrates (our Omni DVD players were hopeless with anything below 64KbPS), unless, _perhaps_ if the source is *very* noisy (an old dodgy cassette) where you don't want noise causing a load of artifacts, but you still want the file as small as possible. But under those circumstances, you'd be far better off processing the original source and removing as much noise as possible without damaging the audio _before_ encoding. The only other reason you might want to push up the minimum is if the encoder has a dodgy VBR algorithm that tends to push too much towards the bottom of the scale, even when the VBR Quality setting is high. LAME's `--vbr-old' algorithm is excellent, but `--vbr-New' still has problems. Unfortunately, other encoders (such as Fraunhofer) are a *hell* of a lot worse, so if you're forced to use them, it might be worth it. Anyway, hope this explains things; basically, unless you have a very specific need, don't play with Min/Max bitrates - you're likely only to get worse encodes and bigger files. Thank you kind Sir for your time and trouble smile so now to my additional notation about VBR quality and this can add to confusion. When setting VBR quality it works in the reverse as it looks, in other words the lower the number the higher the VBR quality, 3 or 4 may be a good setting for music, for mono audio or talking books, audio documentaries etc try say between 4 and 6.

The only thing that keeps me using it is that I can download my own books, when I want them, and no library is telling me that I have too many or I need to send them back. I find many things about the Victor irritating. For example, I hate how slowly the machine goes through a list of NLS books. You can't just hit the button five times and be five books further up or down the list, you have to listen to it read every single number, with puases between. And, sometimes, it stops after a number and pauses for a few seconds before reading either the book title or moving onto the next number.
