RE: Media Player With Pitch Control Needed.

[Tony]

The Victor streams have speed, pitch, and tone control.  You cannot set the
exact change you wish but make changes in fairly large steps.

Re: Media Player With Pitch Control Needed.

[Laz]

Someone on another list already answered this but I can't attest as to
whether either the Victor Stream or VLC can do it having never done it
on either of those.

Re: Pure Audio Discs

[Donald L. Roberts]

Although I find this interesting, I have a bit of a problem.  I have a 
blue ray player which works very well, unless one turns off the TV to 
which it is connected via HDMI.  I have a digital audio connector on the 
player.  But regardless of whether I am playing DVDs or audio CDs, as 
soon as the TV is turned off, there is no longer any signal to the audio 
system.  I just do not like the requirement that the television be on 
when I want to listen to audio.  Also, suppose another family member 
wants to watch television.

Up until now we've had SACD - Super Audio CD -, equipment to play 
SACD'S can be rather costly and setup can be a problem.


So now that Pure Audio has come a long - a format that can be played 
in a Blu-Ray player - this should simplify a whole lot of htings and 
make HD Audio readily aand easily consumable by the masses.

Any Blu-Ray Player should work, that's the whole purpose behind Pure 
Audio, to use hardware which is already in a lot of homes.


Up until now we've had SACD - Super Audio CD -, equipment to play SACD'S 
can be rather costly and setup can be a problem.


So now that Pure Audio has come a long - a format that can be played in 
a Blu-Ray player - this should simplify a whole lot of htings and make

Hands-On Review: B MM-1 Multimedia Speakers

The review linked to here is the most detailed I've seen on the product 
and its refreshing to see that some people take reviewing a product 
seriously.

Pure Audio Discs

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

Has anyone on list bought any Pure Audio Discs.

The format is fairly new - launched quietly in 2014 - and the collection 
of titles is in the dozen's so there's not thousands of titles to choose 
from at this stage.


Pure Audio Discs work with your Blu-Ray player and the record company's 
seem to think they're on to something given that more of a third of 
homes now have Blu-Ray players connected to some sort of surround-sound 
system and I have to admit the company's have a point, we don't normally 
see eye-to-eye .


Anyway the point of Pure Audio is for the enjoyment of HD audio for want 
of a better description, pop the disc into the player and press the play 
button, sit back in your favorite armchair and enjoy!


That's exactly what I've been doing with the first Pure Audio title I 
got my hands on, Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.


A quick comparison with the older CD version soon told me that my ears 
weren't deceiving me when it came to the Pure Audio version, the Pure 
Audio version is incredibly rich in fine detail compared to the CD version.


Anyway for those who love our music, keep an eye out for Pure Audio 
totiles, I've got a couple of Supertramp Pure Audio albums - Breakfast 
In America and Crime Of The Century - on order.

A word regarding Airfoil

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

List members will be aware that I purchased both Google Chromecast II 
and Google Chromecast Audio9 devices and I'm very happy with both.


What I didn't know was that Airfoile For Windows - at present - doesn't 
stream to Chromecast Compatible devices of which there are many now 
including some of the latest Televisions and speaker systems.


I wrote to the company who develop Airfoil and they assure me that the 
streaming of audio content to Chromecast devices is coming to the 
Windows version of airfoil shortly and that day can't come quickly 
enough as far as I'm concerned, Chromecasts are incredibly nifty devices.


There is a Chromecast Ultra device available but I felt no need to buy 
one of these as its only advantage would appear to be the handling of 4K 
HD pictures.


The Chromecast Ultra does have an Ethernet port on the power adapter 
which you very well may need if you're planning to use 4K streaming as 
some Wi-Fi connections may not have the grunt to power the bandwidth 
needed for this type of bandwidth hungry content.

Re: Media Player With Pitch Control Needed.

[Laz]

George, This is easily done with the Sansa Clip without going into any
menus at all. You can affect the playback speed by using the up button
as if you were going to pause playback but instead hold it down for a
couple of seconds. This changes the mode so instead of pausing it will
allow you to use the up button to increase the speed of playback and
the down button to decrease playback speed. If you wish to pause at
any moment you can click the power button to return to playback mode
so you can pause and unpause normally and if you need to return to
changing the playback speed, then hold down the up button once again.
You can do this until you reach the desired playback speed. When you
reach the desired playback speed just click the power button to listen
normally. During this process you can return to normal playback speed
by clicking the select button.

If you have any other questions regarding the Sansa Clip let me know
and I'll be glad to help.

Regards,

Laz
