The z623 speakers from logitech are one of the best, if you can still find 
them.

Subject: Good PC speakers


Hi folks,
I am going to have to purchase a new PC. I have some rather old speakers on 
my very old PC, and I’m going to get rid of them. There about half shot 
anyway. So I wonder what folks are using on PCs these days that actually 
sounds good. I’m talking to a custom builder, and he was talking about just 
the sort of speakers that would plug into a line out Jack. I have a pair of 
b and w MM ones on my Mac, those are USB. And I’ve had them for a few years. 
They are very nice, but I’m not sure I need something like that on a PC 
where I probably won’t listen to boatloads of excellent music. Still, 
regular cheap computer speakers are really not what I’m looking for. Any 
suggestions?

Its a very nice app to use and the quality of the resulting recordings 
is certainly better than some Voice Recorders I've heard.

I very much look forward to seeing your tutorials.
In the meantime? I’ll use MP3 Tag Studio to get the job done.

Re: Audacity 2.2.0 has been released

2017-11-03 Thread Donald L. Roberts
I have a related question. I note that there is a full install version and a 
portable version of Audacity. I have noted that many programs have both a 
full install and a portable version. So I conclude that there must be some 
advantage of the full install over the portable version of a program.  If 
this is correct, just what is the advantage specifically in the case of 
Audacity?

For a summary of new features see:

One of the new features is that clips are now accessible for users of
screen readers.

For Windows users, these are the direct links for Audacity 2.2.0:
1. The Installer version:
https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html/audacity-win-2.2.0.exe
2. The portable version:

I've updated by Jaws guide to Audacity for version 2.2.0, and it's
available here:
http://vip.chowo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/jaws/Audacity-2.2.0-Guide.html

As previously, nearly all of this guide is also applicable to users of 
NVDA

and Window-Eyes.

Unfortunately, there is not a version of Audacity 2.2.0 which is usefully
accessible with VoiceOver on Macs. The most recent accessible version on
Macs is still the screen reader version of Audacity 2.1.1:

It’s the ability to do it with multiple files that is needed. 
For me I get confused with the conversion process 
Where you need to put in a series of characters such as %artist% - %album% - 
%track% - %title%

Wondering what software people use apart from iTunes to tag mp3 files 
that aren't copied from a cd?


I know of someone who is given files made up by a communityradio station 
that need tagging.



I've tried mp3 tag but haven't had much luck.
