I used the flac plug-in for Winamp that I had to download. Everything dealing with flac files, including how to decode them to .wav and how to encode .wav files to flac is contained at http://flac.sourceforge.net Since I'm not sure of your experience with flac files, this will give you a starting point. These are used in the trading of concert recordings, and now a few artists are offering the flac downloads as an alternative to the mp3s. Thanks a lot.

It then dawned on me too that this problem didn't start happening until after installing IE8. I then tried renaming winamp program files as specified in various blogs and forums but no go. I then uninstalled version 5.35 of Winamp and installed most current version and the Winamp memory error has disappeared completely. So I'm suggesting installing winamp 5.552 as I did and see if it works for you. http://www.jaws-users.com/programs/Audio/winamp5552.exe I also noticed something a little strange. When downloading and scanning this Winamp installation file for viruses, Nod32 gave me the following error: NSIS - incorrect CRC checksum, the file may be damaged I was desperate to get my beloved winamp back and ran the installer anyways, and as I hit enter on install I heard the culprit file marked as uninstalled--this was the file I was told to rename in the various winamp forms I visited. thought I'd point out that jaws 9 seems to work pretty well with this version of winamp in spite of warning. I've not tested out Jaws v 10 because its still riddled with bugs and not what I normally care to use so have had no need to mess with it.

It is used by both legal and non-legal music release groups to rip music, as its quality cannot be beaton. The focus is not, therefore, always on userbility, but on functionality. CDex is the oppositte. Its not very widely regarded as being very good at ripping, however this is slightly untrue. CDex is no way as good as EAC, but its acceptable. In short, if you are ripping a CD, and you know exactly what quality settings, what drive settings to use, and other such advanced settings, then go for EAC. Setup your compression, select all the tracks on the CD, then use the copy selected trakcscompressed option. You can tag them later on. If you aren't concerned with fantastic output, and getting the absolute most out of your rip, go with CDex. The upside to CDex is that you can pretty much put a CD in the drive, run it and rip.

I really would prefer to have them on my hard drive, as I already own a legal copy of the cd in question. Second, in both programs as I attempt to label the files with the correct audio tags I am asked to enter numbers or integers. I am not sure what numbers or where. I Do not have the ISRT numbers available to me, and as these files are going to be aired on not-for-profit streams where nothing is sold it is my understanding that this information isn't needed. The producers are going to be selling this album on ITunes and Amazon so they have the correct information. Do I need this? What do they want, and how can I edit the title and track information such that it no longer reads only track number and file information? I have all the titles, and this cd is not yet available in any of the databases, having been released less than three weeks ago, June 11th, to be exact. I am also wondering whether I have the correct Beta version, CDEX 1.70 Beta Two which has a release date of January 4, 2009. In the documentation for CDEX 1.70 Beta Two there is information regarding the possible need to install additional drivers. Is it possible that I need to install these? Finally, I have Window-Eyes 7.0, JAWS 10.0, and System Access. Is there any one of these apps that might give more accessibility? I will keep working on this but would appreciate any

Re: High fidelty and turntables today
I will never forget, though, an article I read some time ago about a study done in Britain. In it, they got together a bunch of die-hard audiofiles. They used the highes-end equipment, they used the same speakers and other equipment for all the tests, but they played music from CD and from vinyl. The subjects did not know which was the CD, which was the vinyl, or sometimes if the same medium were being played twice. Sometimes they heard only vinyl or only CD, they just had no idea, and they were asked to rate it. In many of the cases, subjects were convinced that they were listening to a vinyl recording and that it was vastly superior to the CD recording they'd heard, when in fact both times they'd heard the same recording. Overall, the study concluded, the preference was subjective and stemmed from existing biases. If a person has decided that vinyl does and always will sound better, then that is the case in their mind. Two sounds can be identical in every way, but for some people, if they believe one of them is vinyl while the other is not, they will vehemently insist that the vinyl one is superior, usually employing the enigmatically ondescript term warmer. Bruce On Mon, 8 Jun 2009 10:02:58 -0400, Bob Seed bobs...@tbaytel.net said: Most audio files that make a living listening to audio will swear that vinyl is the best, as it has a warmth that can not be duplicated by listening to CD's. The analogy that I once heard is like someone putting a q tip in your ear and turning it around. Not quite sure what the person meant by saying that other than this individual might have suffered from listening fatigue by listening to a lot of CD's. Personally I prefer vinyl, but here again I come from the old school of audio tape and vinyl records. In the haste to convert vinyl to CD's record companies didn't take the time to remaster the first generation of some of those old chestnuts that we grew up with in the 60's and 70's, and simply massed produced them flooding the marketplace with inferior quality product hoping that the gullibable public wouldn't notice the difference, as they would be playing the recording on home equipment that simply wouldn't measure up to professional studio audio. Home audio has come a long way over the past ten years or so, and is as good as some of the bottom line of professional broadcast equipment. Most broadcasters use off the shelf CD players in their studios, and if the CD player breaks down they simply throw it away and get a new one. A professional broadcast CD player will cost in the range of 2 to 3 grand. If listening to a radio station I don't think that you will notice a difference between an off the shelf home unit or a unit that is labelled as being professional. The professional units tend to be built better and take a licking and keep on ticking. When it comes to turntables broadcasters prefer the professional line of Technique, as the professional line has a variable pitch control. - Original Message - From: Bruce Toews br...@ogts.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, June 08, 2009 8:46 AM Subject: RE: High fidelty and turntables today You are quite correct, of course.

From there, you can mix it all down to a wav file, MP3 file or some other format. Now, let's say that you play the audio file and say to yourself, Oops, that vocal track is too loud. With Sonar, you can reload the project, lower the volume on that vocal track and save a new audio version of the project. With Goldwave, multitracking requires the use of several sound windows.

Audible's terms and conditions at http://www.audible.com/adbl/faqs/terms.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes say the following: 6. Grants of Licenses a. Audible Content License.

You shall not copy, reproduce, distribute or use the Audible Content in any other manner. You shall not sell, transfer, lease, modify, distribute or publicly perform the Audible Content in any manner and you shall not exploit it commercially. Do not (A) decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Audible Content or attempt to do so; or (B) modify the Audible Content or create any derivative works therefrom. This license to the Audible Content you Purchase will continue for as long as your copy of Audible Content exists pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In doing some searching on the web, there are quite a few sites that say converting Audible books to MP3 is legal in the US under fair use while others say that Audible's terms and conditions preclude doing this. I'm not sure that I've seen anything definitive on either side though. A lot of people say it's illegal without quoting any laws or TC's, while others say it can't be illegal due to fair use, but I'm not sure they understand fair use or not. For my part, I would think it is legal to convert and Audible file to MP3, but I would not give this MP3 file to anyone or place it anywhere where anyone else to get to it.

When playing such downloaded or DVD content on the computer, is there a software player that is fairly accessible and which also has a menu option I can invok for activating or turning off the descriptions?

Re: Descriptive Video on Commercial DVDs and Downloads
DVD Audio Extractor can extract the described video track of, for example, the Corner Gas videos, into various formats that will play in mdeia players - Wave, MP3, OGG Vorbis, etc., and it also has a preview feature which essentially lets you play the tracks without extracting. Corner Gas is the only commercial TV series I know of that has described video on the standard buy-them-in-the-stores DVD's. There might well be others, but these are the only ones I know of.

I don't spend a lot of time with video content at this point in my life, but have run into descriptive video in the past and simply presumed it would have become more prevalent in the last 5-10 years. It seems that the trend toward video description actually has reversed itself, at least in the United States. So Bruce, are you suggesting that if one finds a DVD series like your Canadian sitcom that's commercially available, use DVD Audio Extractor as a means of listening to the whole content of the DVD? Or does this program simply convert the DVD into a format that some other player such as Windows Media Player or Winamp can process?

I'm probably about to ask a question that's painfully obvious to many. But I'm showing up at the descriptive video/SAP party much later than some. I'm writing to the JAWS list because I am a JAWS user. I'm writing to the Blind iPod list because purchasing video content on iTunes is now accessible through use of the J-tunes interface. So I hope others view this question as at least somewhat relevant. I'm presuming, first of all, that most Hollywood feature films on DVD come with a descriptive video track encoded somewhere on them. I'm presuming the same could be true with downloadable films and TV shows, too, as from iTunes. Certainly, most DVDs representing TV programs where action was described in the first place, should have that same DVS output on the subsequent DVD release. If this is true, I'm wondering about the following: 1. How can I be sure, if a film or TV show is downloaded, to get the download version that has descriptive video encoded? Is there a good source for such material? Is there a way I can know for sure about this feature before I buy? 2.

One thing to remember is that, in order to prevent a little audible pop on the CD, the wave file has to be split very precisely.

Re: needing to create tracks without audible breaks
It all has to do with the size of data blocks written to CD. It has to be a multiple of a certain number of samples, I don't know what the exact numbers are. It's a mathematical-precision thing, not something that one can work out by ear.

Re: mp3 players best for totally blind people
I would suggest that the best comparison to make is that the Plextalk is a very good recorder that has some playback functionality, and the Stream is a very good player that has some recording functionality. As has been said elsewhere. they are both very good for what they have been designed to do. The size difference is minute. The battery life of the Stream is considerably longer than that of the Plextalk, so if it is playback capability you are after, seriously consider the Stream, which plays MP3. OGG Vorbis, Windows Media, braille, TXT, HTML, rich text, FLAC, and more in terms of file format. If it is primarily recording you are interested in, then I would say the Plextalk is your best bet, with its stereo recording capability and line-in jack, etc. Both devices have their place, and it is irresponsible to say (and I think I'm decoding the spelling correctly) that one is just a way better player in every respect, because that is simply not true.

Take that same recording and bring it to a professional studio and you will quickly notice the difference. Having said that there are recording artists that record their songs at home in order to save money on professional recordings, and the quality of their recording is acceptable to be put on a CD. The standards for home recording equipment is improving dramatically, and definitely meets the standards of low end professional equipment. Most radio stations that play CD's on air use home equipment, as it is much cheaper, and when it breaks down they throw it away and simply get a new machine. Professional broadcast quality CD players sell for over two-thousand dollars for a single unit, and a home unit can be purchased for under a hundred bucks. You would be hard pressed to detect the difference in audio playback quality between a home and professional unit on a broadcast station. By the time that signal leaves the studio and ends up on your receiver it goes through a number of changes. Audio processing and equalization are just a few of these changes that take place in the chain of events between the studio, transmitter, and your receiver. Broadcast engineers do their best to make sure that the quality of their audio is as close as possible to the quality of the audio that leaves the studio. The best analogy that I can think of is a water treatment plant that cleans up your drinking water. To some people the taste of the water is acceptable, and to others the taste of chlorine in the water is unacceptable. The audio debate will definitely take on another form once we move into HD digital broadcast audio.

Re: Does the sound quality of different software media players differ?
I think that plays into this sort of thing much more than many audiofiles are willing to admit, including the vinyl versus CD debate, and whether 320K bitrate sound substantially worse than CD quality. I'm not saying that it's all psychological, but I'm just saying that it's probably, in my opinion, more psychological than the experts and wannabe experts are willing to admit.

I wish you could, too. I'm not fiercely anti-Real, like some are, but I do prefer Winamp for playing non-Real material, resorting to Real when I have to.

I Was Wrong
I was wrong to recommend Easy CD-DA Extractor to people. It once was a very, very accessible program, but has become increasingly less so over the versions. It is still a marvelous tool for burning audio or data CD's or data DVD's. But for ripping CD's, version 12 is all but unusable, or at least it has been in my experience. The author insists that standard controls are being used, and if our screen readers can't handle standard controls, that's our problem. I am truly sorry to anyone who, on my recommendation, may have purchased this program and given its author money he does not deserve. If you are looking for a good, accessible burning solution, Easy CD-DA Extractor meets those qualifications. But as other accessibility has decreased over the versions, who knows what may happen with the burning capabilities. I really thought the author was committed to trying to make the program accessible, but clearly he is not, and my public endorsement of the program was unfounded. The track listings and the file location controls are not standard controls, nowhere near standard controls. The author says he will not sacrifice functionality for accessibility. We are not asking for decreased functionality, was are simply asking for the accessibility. It is unfortunate that it has come to this. Again, my sincere apologies for the high praise and recommendation I gave for this program in the past.

Re: fm transmitters revisited
If you want to receive your signal on 106.7, then the transmitter must also transmit on 106.7. The idea is to get your transmitter to transmit on a frequency where there isn't already a station.

Re: Recording quality of victor reader xtreme
While the quality of the recording isn't what I would call studio quality, it is remarkably good for its size and for the price, given that the Stream is not first and foremost a recording device.

RE: information on the plextalk pocket
From what I can ascertain, the Plextalk offers somewhat more by way of recording: stereo, recording to DAISY. It is also just a touch smaller. The Stream can play many more formats, including Audible, OGG Vorbis, FLAC, unprotected WMA, RTF, and BRF files, so that's where it shines. I believe it is also a little cheaper.

Looking for a Station
Hi. I am considering bringing my Toews on the Waves radio program back from the grave. I am looking for a station to broadcast it on. For it to work, the station would have to meet certain criteria ... not because I or my show are better than the rest, because I/it aren't. Just look at the grammar in that last sentence and you'll know this to be true. I may not be able to find a station that meets these criteria, but I figured I could try. 1. The station needs to be on 24/7, barring technical problems and so on. 2. The owner of the station needs to be willing/able to accept pre-recorded shows. I'd suck at live radio if I tried it, and I know it. 3. The station needs to have sufficient automation so I can upload a show in advance and it will play at the predetermined time. I want the exposure that an always-on station can offer. The previous venue for my show was wonderful: Shellworld Radio did everything they could to accomodate me and I can't thank them enough, but the resources and so on just weren't there to keep the station on at all times, and that made advertising my show difficult. If anyone knows of such a station, if such a station even exists, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks very much.

Re: audible.com help/converting books to MP3
There are four Audible formats. While format 4 is based on the MP3 format, you are not getting standard protected MP3's. Audible does not provide its books in standard MP3 format.

Not being sure I first downloaded Audible Download Manager but found it confusing and wasn't sure where in Media Player to find my file or how even to get into the player itself. So I downloaded Audible Manager, which is on desktop and it says you can use its player or Windows Media. Well I did get it to play with the Audible player and I do like the way it continues from where you left off when you re-open Audible Manager. But I don't know the hot keys as far as forwarding, rewinding and using volume on this player and wouldn't mind help there. But what I'd also like help with is being able to somehow convert Audible books into MP3's so they can be played in Winamp. I know that somehow they convert to small files and these files end in mid-sentence, but I do prefer Winamp and am hoping someone can show me how to convert books to MP3. Thanks.

Re: Problems creating an audio cd with Neero, a puzzler!
One of the nice things about Gold Wave is that, when you split a file into smaller ones for the purposes of CD tracks, you can tell the program to place the split so that the slight click won't happen. The slight click has nothing to do with the sound card, it has to do with the number of samples in a track. Bruce On Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:41:40 -0500, Curtis Delzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: The one package I find that works quite well for creating (no break) type cds from multiple files is acoustica cd burner. Right clicking can, even blend in a bit of the one track into the other, so if there is a click between them, you can make sure it doesn't happen due to a DC issue with your sound card, giving you a few milliseconds of blend, enough so the end-user doesn't know, only the engineer. :) It is a little tricky sometimes with a screen reader, but it surely can be done. Curtis Delzer. HS go to http://www.cdburner.com At 06:28 AM 9/2/2008, you wrote: Well this sounds like a real novice question and thats ok but believe me its not, or at least I don't think so. I did some audio editing in Goldwave cutting sections from large audio files and breaking them out to several small files. I made sure each cut was trimmed nicely removing any silence at ends of both files. I then fired up Nero 6 to create the audio cd. I encountered the following problems. Here was my goal first of all. You need this to understand the problem. I wanted an audio cd that played every track automaticly with no silence or gaps between tracks. I checked the no gaps between tracks or however Nero says it on the beginning screen. That didn't work. I then created another cd where I checked the same box but then went in to the advanced controls and checked remove silence at end of cda trakcs and even with both boxes checked it didn't work. If I played track 1 I manually had to advance to track 2 it just wouldn't play on its own unattended. What is going wrong? Is it a bug with my particular version of Nero? Am I missing something, thats entirely possible? I need to create an audio cd with tracks but where one track plays rapid fire right after another as if there were no tracks. Yes I could merge the files in to one file and burbn it that way but I really wanted the track marks. what am I doing wrong? I need this for voice over demos and thats the way they want them these days. Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.
