Re: TapinRadio Presets

Well, maybe they did not update the stations in your region, but they
do update them often. Perhaps you should rather applications key on a
station and report the faulty streams. Or rite to the support address.

 Hi all,

 For users of TapinRadio I've noticed the presets list is often updated
 on Monday or Tuesday of each week. Also for users of TapinRadio Pro
 only if you press Control+N while in TapinRadio you can see a list of
 stations that have been added in the latest list of presets so this
 feature makes it very easy to see newly added stations. I particularly
 like this feature.

 Regards Steve.

Re: Reinstalled Total Recorder

2014-11-17 Thread Aidan
I agree, the only thing why its kind of important that it support aac
plus streams and alike, is because then you can add the stations to
your favorites, and schedule something and it can record without
another player have to be open. The way it is now, you have to have
your brouzer or another audio player open in order for the skedular to
record. Wich means if I have to record something everyday at nine in
the morning, I have to set the skedual, and every night make sure
before I go to bed that the audio player is running, and I have to
even make sure the station in of intrest is running if I want to
record from radio. Wich means the radio have to play the hole night
just to enable it to be ready.

Actually the person who put me onto the “Background Recording” feature saved me 
heaps of time and many of the problems discussed in the last couple of eMails

For one thing, your browser doesn’t have to remain open, Total Recorder handles 
all that and you can read your novel with JAWS whilst the recording takes 
place, you won’t hear your novel reading session when you play it back smile.

Audio Sale Of Sangean DPR25 Portable DAB+ Radio

2014-11-17 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi!

I recorded this for someone else actually so thought I’d make it available to 
everyone.

This is an audio sample taken from the Sangean DPR25 portable DAB+ radio, its a 
stereo unit with 2 speakers, headphones out, line-out and line-in for external 
devices.

It has a pretty decent sound for a portable with its 2 speakers though I used 
the line-out connected to the line-in of the Zoom H1 recorder for this sample.

What you’ll hear is a report from America which airs on Radio 3AW Melbourne 
every weekday morning after the 3 O’Clock news, hope you find the sample of 
interest, audio quality - given its DAB+ - is pretty good.

Re: Reinstalled Total Recorder

Quick question about TR, if I may interject.

Does it have the facility to move through a recording at slow speed -
what in analogue parlance you might call rocking the spools?

I'm of the old school of editing - chinagraph pencils and razor blades -
and finding just the beginning of a cough, for example, isn't so easy at
normal speed.

A good interjection sir smile, yes indeed it does though it doesn’t have 
a”Cue/review” scrubbing type of feature that you might find in say Goldwave, it 
can however fast-coward and rewind through audio and you hear the audio as 
you’re going forward or back.

You can set the increment for this from very fine to very wide.

Pure One Elite Series 2

2014-11-17 Thread Christopher Hallsworth

Hi all
Received this radio today from
www.argos.co.uk
it's a DAB/FM digital radio system. The product is quite accessible even 
without speech. Once you know the basics like adjusting the volume and 
selecting a station it's a piece of cake. Of course changing settings, 
retuning or resetting to factory defaults may need sighted assistance, 
as well as the advanced functions of the radio. One cool feature that 
may or may not be usable by us is the ability to pause and rewind live 
radio, as well as record programs for later listening. The programs are 
stored in its in-built memory. There is a USB port located on the side 
but it's only used to update the firmware from what I gather when 
downloading the PDF manual a few days ago which, by the way, should be 
accessible with your favourite reader, there is also an auxiliary input 
port so you can connect your iPod or other MP3 player. Cost £84.99.




Re: Pure One Elite Series 2

2014-11-17 Thread Dane Trethowan
Yes, I bought one of these radios quite some time ago though its not one 
I listen to much, I think the Sangean DPR25 has a better sound to its 
speakers.  It doesn't have all the functionality of the model you 
mentioned however its far easier to use.


For example, if you wish to scan for stations then you don't have to go 
through a menu system as you do with the Pure One Elite, just hold down 
the scan button and the radio starts a scan.


Whilst the Pure model has more presets I much prefer the way the Sangean 
does things, has 5 dedicated preset buttons.


No, the DPR25 doesn't provide pause/Rewind/Fastforward facilities 
however it does have a line out socket.


I have the Sangean DPR17 radio which does record and provide the time 
shifting fuhctionality of the Pure and its more flexible than the Pure 
for a number of reasons.


The First is that the Sangean DPR17 uses a SD card thus you're not 
limited to internal memory, you can transfer your recorded files to your 
PC and so on and this - for me at least -was a serious shortcoming with 
the Pure.


I believe you would have made a better purchase had you bought the 
Sangean however, the Pure radio is not a bad radio by any manner of 
means, I've seen far worse.


And finally, the most accessible DAB radio I've seen is without doubt 
the Sangean WRF28D, you can read the scrolling text via an IOS App, 
browse your stations, see the RDS text on FM and so forth.
