Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7
Hi! I own an Olympus DM-4 and will be getting a DM-7 shortly, are their any major differences I should look out for? I also own a Zoom H1 recorder and prefer to use it for a lot of jobs given that the H1 has higher sampling rates, I also think the microphones are better but nevertheless, the DM-4 does an excellent job for a recorder of its size. -- ** Those who need help are those who are prepared to help themselves
Re: Internet buffering
As you have already said, there are many variables that could be modified to improve the listener experience. First, determine the maximum number of clients that can connect to your station. Also, an important thing to consider is what kind of broadcasting server you are using. There are a few settings within the server's configuration file that will aid in rectifying some of the potential issues you may face when clients connect. Other important questions: Does my server support all of the listeners that will potentially activate your playlist file? Am I streaming using a decent internet connection (up to 1 MB/sec works). I run a small internet station in where all of my server software is on a remote computer, and I just stream from a local computer. You would need to provide more information in order for a solution to be constructed.

Goldwave questions
I recently put Goldwave 6 on my 8.1 64-bit desktop. Are there significant differences between the latest version and the last version 5 of Goldwave? Also, can anyone tell me whether it is possible using batch mode to trim silence from a bunch of .wav files? Thanks. Don Roberts
Re: Olympus Recorders: Differences Between The DM-4 and DM-7
Thanks for that very informative post, I'll have the DM-7 some time next week and I'm looking forwardg to seeing the differences you've noted, I can see advantages and disadvantages in both systems and I wonder which I'll use the most. Doesn't the DM-7 have some sort of Wi-Fi facility or am I thinking of a different model. By the sounds of it the Daisy reader has been dumped in the DM-7, is this correct? I was able to use the voice of the DM-4 to set the time and date when it had been stated in various access publications that this couldn't be done so perhaps there have been a few firmware updates between 2011 and the present day. I was able - well sort of - to use the Audio Diary of the DM-4, I couldn't schedule a memo to an accurate time of day but I could schedule a memo to a day so this meant all I had to do was to browse to the day I wanted to see my appointments for and just listen to each in tern, the DM-4 would tell me how many appointments I had scheduled as I moved between days.

Re: An App To Set the Media House On Fire!
Yes it does. Win 8.1 does have Media player. The only thing is Media Center you have to add on. As far as I know all they were getting rid of is media center. I even asked Paull Thurrott about this just to be sure. That's what he told me. I can see again though just to be safe.

Re: An App To Set the Media House On Fire!
Yes thanks, I did see reference to all that when I looked it up a little while ago with google so the chap who wrote about this to the list should have no problem whatever then. Curiously, I did a search on Google to see whether Winamp was able to play/stream to DLNA compatible devices, it came as a surprise to me that it couldn't, DLNA has been around for the last 12 years. Now its possible of course that I missed something and its highly likely that someone has developed a plug-in but in all events what does it really matter given that Winamp isn't being developed any more anyway.
