RE: Airport Express Again
HI Dane, I'm going to briefly describe my current setup with my Mac Mini: I have it connected to my home theeater via the digital optic connection using the optic cable I purchased via Apple recommendation from Radio Shakc. I'm getting the impression the convertor you speak of is a transmittor to allow your sounds to be played in other rooms and has nothing to do with a direct connection to a home theater system. I ask, because I am a junky for audio sound and always strive for better sound quality, but I don't stream music throughout my home as of yet. by next summer however, I would like the ability to stream outside onto my patio for my leisure time, BBQs, yardwork and etc. smile!

As list members would know I have an Airport Express base station here, well now I have 2 as a matter of fact. One thing that these Base stations allow is for the connection of an audio device, you can for example connect the output of the Airport Express to a Hi-Fi setup using either an analogue or digital connection hence these devices can handle your wi-Fi traffic and give you crystal-clear audio into a particular room but what I didn't know was that you can have a source piped to multiple Airport Express units at the one time using Itunes so time to throw those ancient FM transmitters away, no risk of interference, or distortion any more! just nice sounding audio noise and distortion free wherever I go in my house or within range of my wi-fi network. To checkout the Airport express go to www.apple.com/airportexpress and you can see the specs and other details. If you don't feel like using Itunes? Sure! use Airfoil and you can Stream Winamp or any other application that generates audio to your Airport Express. As a final note, I'm thinking of doing a series of Podcasts on the Airport Express and associated software, would anyone be interested?

Exact Audio Copy can also encode with the lossless FLAC format and I rip music CD's in FLAC. EAC scans each track twice and compares the .wav forms. If there is not a match, it scans the track more than 20 times trying to obtain two results that match the closest. In this way, EAC achieves perfect or near perfect rips of CD's. Because the encoder is external, I can use the latest versions of LAME and FLAC for ripping. With CDEX, this is tricky to do and one is generally left with the outdated technology.

I too have the same problem. when I go to Jimsumptershow.com and click on listen live, I get error message stating WMP cannot play the file... unknown file type... this began about a month ago and occurs on all my PCs.

T-mobile At Home service
Hi all, I just wanted to share information of cel provider T-Mobile's new 'At Home' phone service. You must be a T-Mobile cellphone subscriber, and adding home service only costs an additional $10 per month with 2 year subscription. I had mine fully instaled yesterday and so far, it's great. It is a VoIP service running via your comp. However, if running Road Runner wireless, which has a built in router, it will block the Linxys router that's made for the At Home service. You can read more by doing a google search. The price cannot b beat for unlimited nationwide calling. I was paying $45.95 for Time Warner phone services plus an additional $7.95 for wireless on my modem. The At Home router via Linxys is also wireless. I didn't pay for the router or the 2 V-Tech cordless phones, which costs roughly $159 for all equipment. You may be able to go into your nearest T-Mobile store and talk them into giving you the equipment free in exchange for the 2-yr. subscription.

RE: Burning audio discs
Hi don, Walter illustrated how to access the bur menu perfectly. Open the player and tab over about 10 times. Hit space bar on burn menu and you should see option for audio or data cd. Once you check or recheck audio, you can then proceed, as you normally would by dragging and dropping your files onto the CD drive. The player should open once you select burn to disc. Then, once the player has opened again, you can then tab over to the section that lists your songs. Once you’re sure the songs you selected are there, I believe it’s only one more tab over to start burn button. This is not the optimal use of the player’s directions for burning, but it’s the same way I do it – just copy music files onto the drive with disc inserted; followed by burn to disc; followed by player opening, tab over to see your files there waiting to begin the burn, and one more tab over to start the burn. The orthodox method for WMP burn procedure goes entirely through the player, but I haven’t gone that route before. Tinker around with the player’s features by tabbing through the entire set. The player has a lot nice features such as the graphic EQ, SOS Wow effects for bass enhancements and surround sound, preprogrammed EQ settings such as rock, rap, blues, swing speech, default and etc. Best Regards, Cornell From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Re: Burning audio discs Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 22:10:27 -0400 Maximizing the Window does nothing, the: start burn is still absent, thanks for your idea, Don - Original Message - From: Gary G Schindler To: PC Audio Discussion List Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 8:02 PM Subject: Re: Burning audio discs try to maximize the window and see if you can find the burn button. - Original Message - From: Don Lorah To: PC Audio Discussion List Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 5:01 PM Subject: Re: Burning audio discs I tried your suggestion, it will not burn.

Not much to rave about in the features steaks, just 3 inputs (fono, AUX and Tuner) and 2 stereo speaker outputs (A and B) but in the Hi-Fi game? Well sound quality comes well before features . I personally don't believe in buying receivers, I prefer to match a good tuner with my amp but each to their own, in the tuner steaks there are 2 kinds, one which gives you a narrow band with good sensitivity and the other giving you a nice wide band, great audio quality but not so sensitive. I have 2 different Denon tuners here each fitting the characteristics I've just outlined but e warned, even on the second-hand market these little beauties fetch a few hundred dollars and their FM quality is truly outstanding. As a final thought, if I were going to go for a receiver and I wasn't at all too concerned about surround-sound?

RE: av reciver or stereo reciever
If I can piggy back on Clifford's comments - I found the Onkyos the easiest to use. I own a 989 version 2 AV receiver as well as a 90 pro and owned a 919; once set up, very easy operation, but periodic sighted help is needed to make adjustments in some of the surround features. HK from what I remember are also rather easy, but haven't assessed the newer units. Sony and Denon are the most difficult I've had to deal with and gave away a Dennon receiver and a Sony processor for that reason. also, the price for Onkyo receivers are dirt cheap now with nice freatures on low-end models (304 and 504 models are roughly 75w by 5 channels). Best Regards, Cornell Subject: RE: av reciver or stereo reciever Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2008 11:51:44 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org I have an Onkyo stereo receiver that I like a lot. It's a little difficult to set up without sighted help, but once set up it works well with the remote or manually. It has 100 watts per channel, inputs for xm radio as well as a built in am/fm radio and has cd, aux, phono and a couple of tape inputs and outputs. I also have a Sony 7.1 surround av reciever. I've never been able to really get it set up properly. It sounds great when I get things going, but the surround sound features have me perplexed. If you go stereo, I'd look at Onkyo, Denon and Harman Karden.

Not much to rave about in the features steaks, just 3 inputs (fono, AUX and Tuner) and 2 stereo speaker outputs (A and B) but in the Hi-Fi game? Well sound quality comes well before features . I personally don't believe in buying receivers, I prefer to match a good tuner with my amp but each to their own, in the tuner steaks there are 2 kinds, one which gives you a narrow band with good sensitivity and the other giving you a nice wide band, great audio quality but not so sensitive. I have 2 different Denon tuners here each fitting the characteristics I've just outlined but e warned, even on the second-hand market these little beauties fetch a few hundred dollars and their FM quality is truly outstanding. As a final thought, if I were going to go for a receiver and I wasn't at all too concerned about surround-sound?

RE: the overlooked MP3 player
Best Regards, Cornell From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Fw: the overlooked MP3 player Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:24:17 -0600 I've seen a few people who have put together guides to accessible MP3 players, and they all tend to overlook this one. I don't know why, because it's just as screeneless, reasonably priced, and it's a rather unique piece. This is the Sansa Shaker by Sandisk. I got a deal on it from www.buy.com in May when the red 1 GB model was on sale for about 20 bucks with free shipping. If you want to skip my description and see the official one by Sandisk, use this here link http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Default.aspx?CatID=1253 otherwise, you can read ahead. So, this thing may be overlooked because it is marketted towards kids. But I think if you are a gizmo nut like me, you just won't care and will find it fun to use. It comes in various colors and you can get it with either 512 megs of storage or 1 GB, and I think you can also use a 2 GB SD card in the 1 gig model. Oh, that's right! This is a player that has no on-board memory, but will store your stuff on standard SD cards. First, what's it look like. Again, for you gizmo fans, you'll like the shape. It's pretty much a cylinder with a flat top and bottom and it's thinner in the middle than it is toward the ends. I suppose it's what you'd call an hourglass shape. I call it my salt shaker because it also looks like a high-tech salt shaker. The controls are way way easy to use. First, on top there's a small speaker, and although the sound is strong and not extremely shrill, the fidelity is limitted, probably best for voice recordings. There is one button which is flush with the rest of the unit, and that's more towards the bottom. This is your power and your play/pause button. There are two standard mini headphone jacks on it so two people can listen at once if you like. Finally, there is a band at the top for adjusting volume and a band at the bottom for skipping tracks forward or back. You just grip the band and twist it one way or the other to perform a function, and let go once you have things the way you want them, since they spring back when you're done. It is called the Shaker because you can also skip tracks by pressing and holding the Power/Play button while your track is playing and give it a vigorous shake up and down. You'll hear a camera shutter noise and it will skip tracks. I'm not sure if you can control in which direction it'll skip this way, so it may be a sort of randomizer. It's powered by a single AAA battery, and the website claims that will last ten hours while you are under headphones. The battery and the SD card as well as the port for the USB cable that comes with it are located under a twist-off cover on the bottom of the unit. You do not need special software to transfer files, so you can just use Windows Explorer to copy and paste from one location to the player. I believe it will only play MP3 and .wav files, and it comes with a small folder of sample MP3 files. I find that it will not play some MP3 files, but not sure what exactly it's picky about. But I'm pretty sure it'll play most MP3 files. It does not avhe any resume capabilities, so when you shut the player off and turn it on later, you are at the beginning of the file you were listening to. I actually use mine to play books on, even though the books are on MP3 CD as well. I can just use its little speaker and play my book while doing stuff in the kitchen or whatever. It's a nice little player, and it seems to do what it does well. Yes, I still think the Zen Stone is the most versatile off-the-shelf player, but this one is good if you want to either store things on multiple SD cards or you just want a groovy-looking gizmo to play your files on. It's worth a look if you just want something to play your MP3 files on. Please feel free to share this review wherever you'd like, as I don't think too many folks know about this one. Also, you can send it to anyone you know who might be putting together a guide for off-the-shelf players.

However, today when pressing the button to make the numbers speak, I hear nothing, even after an extended wait. This is the case for three different computers. I phoned Sirius, only to be told that there was no way that the problem could be their fault. They claim it must be a windows issue and would not discuss it further. When I asked the tech to at least try the button to ensure that it worked for him, he said he couldn't do that because he had no speakers on his computer. So my question.

RE: DTV Converter Boxes
Hello, You ought to be able to buy at least a 30' model for $500 or less. also, I'm figuring as long as you can get a signal into the converter box and have something to play it back, TV ought not be necessary. I've ran vcr's with no TV set using connection via my stereo to pick up TV sound. Last, if you have a cable or satellite set top box, no digital to analog converter box is needed, because the set top box does the conversion from the provider. I will say though, when getting a set top box, I alwaays verify audio out connections to run into my Home theater system.

RE: artifacts in mp3s, was re: Creative Zen Stone
I know what he's describing. many compressed files, especially heard when using good headphones, the sound seeems too compressed - not producing all the different frequencies you might hear in the background as meant by the producer of the track. In addition, yes, there is WMA, WMA variable bit rate, WMA pro and WMA lossless. I own a Pogo radio with MP3 player, which plays the first 3 formats I listed, but I never tried lossless format on it. It may be beneficial to contact tech support of the manufacturer to clerify before the purchase. HTH!

Ok, maybe my ears have just never been trained to hear these sounds. I can definitely tell if an mp3 has a lot of artifacts, like for example if a badly encoded mp3 has artifacts you'll hear a sort of swishy sound, that's the best way to describe it, especially with higher frequency stuff like symbal crashes and stuff like that. But being able to tell something in the 60 to 120 hertz range? I couldn't tell you something like that if my life depended on it. All I know is what sounds good to me, and what doesn't, but my ears aren't trained enough to give you specifics such as that. At 05:56 AM 3/7/2008, you wrote: High Jerry, I'm concerned about this because MP3's don't really sound all that grate to me. Maybe there is something wrong with my ears, but if it's a loscy file of some kind that I'm listening to, I can hear a faint ringing noise in the 60 to 120 HZ range. And that is bother some to me. But with lossless files, I don't hear that noise. If the creative Zenstone can play WMA lossless files, then I'm sold on it. But if not, then I will have to come up with a plan b as far as small portable music players go.

I don't suppose it will improve the quality but will it maintain it? (I'm kind of assuming that as Sound Taxi re-records the file that it re-compresses it.) When 320 is claimed by Sound Taxi to be 'Perfect' would it be as good as using the wav conversion? Finally would I just be best to use the wav conversion of the files to maintain the original standard? The answer's probably obvious but I just wanted clarification in order to keep the files at the best possible quality. Thanks.

RE: Error Msg when burning cds.
Hi Cathy, You can pick up a lense cleaner just about anywhere these days. It's no more than a plastic disc just like a CD, but it has a tiny soft brush underneath that swipes across the lense. I've seen them with a thin strip brush going from end to end on a disc, just one end going from center of disc to the rim, or widened patches of soft brushheads to clean the lense. HTH P.S. You just put the disc in like a CD. Some may have additional instrucitons, such as putting in facing a certain way or leaving it to run for a period of time. Pirmarily, it just brushes across the top of the lense in the disc drive. Best Regards, Cornell From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Re: Error Msg when burning cds.

RE: HD radio
Hi John, I agree - a good analogy - similar to the HDMI mess, which seems to be settling down with HDMI 1.3 for now. However, Onkyo has a component HD radio tuner that also has satellite connectivity as well as Internet radio. The interface is 'future proof' with RS-232 connection for upgradability when newer features or formats are available.Best Regards, Cornell From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: RE: HD radio Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2008 18:19:24 +1300 Very well said Bob. The format wars are further complicated by the fact that the US is using a different standard from the predominant digital radio standard in the rest of the world although they are trying hard to get other countries interested. This seems to me like cell phones all over again. The US went down their own road, but eventually GSM, the world standard, has started to dominate. I hope HD Radio dies a natural death, as I don't particularly like the idea of having to have one radio for the US when I travel there, and another for the rest of the world. I'm sure people from the US who travel elsewhere feel the same.

If I had my druthers I would purchase a satellite radio before going HD. When was the last time that you heard an ad on television saying that the latest model of a given car comes complete with an HD radio? We all know what happened to am stereo,it appeared to be a good idea at the time, however the manufacturers of radio receivers failed to come through with the goods, and the system failed. Another example was the Sony beta system, as the public showed favour towards the VHS cassette. Now we are faced with another dilemma, blue ray up against yet another competitive format.

I should be clearer about the radio's limitations, based on the model I bought about two years ago. It's terrible on AM, so you'd buy it only for FM. Also, there are five-second delays any time you switch to an HD broadcaster, as I believe is standard with HD. However, I also find the radio doesn't come up right away when I turn it on, and very occasionally won't come up at all until I unplug the AC adaptor and reconnect it to the outlet.

RE: Playing DVD's on a PC/Laptop
Brad, When the DVD is loaded, windows should then prompt for which program to use.

If I had my druthers I would purchase a satellite radio before going HD. When was the last time that you heard an ad on television saying that the latest model of a given car comes complete with an HD radio? We all know what happened to am stereo,it appeared to be a good idea at the time, however the manufacturers of radio receivers failed to come through with the goods, and the system failed. Another example was the Sony beta system, as the public showed favour towards the VHS cassette. Now we are faced with another dilemma, blue ray up against yet another competitive format.

Hi, I just went to sirius.com and utilized the 3 day free trial using their media player. The site is fully accessible as well as the player. You have to hit a link that announces a code you must submit to get the free trial. Before doing so, click on free trial and fill out form fields. they will then send you a password via email. then go back to player page and enter user name, which is your email address, followed by the given password, followed by the announced code, which is a five digit number. Listen carefully, because voice spoken is soft. I'm not sure about the sound quality, but I am a talk radio junky, so it will suffice. I had my dishnetwork on the same Sirius channel and it sounds better via dish than online. I didn't read pricing information as of yet. hope this info is useful for some...

Also, there are five-second delays any time you switch to an HD broadcaster, as I believe is standard with HD. However, I also find the radio doesn't come up right away when I turn it on, and very occasionally won't come up at all until I unplug the AC adaptor and reconnect it to the outlet. I have another radio right next to it for the times I want immediate reception, such as a news broadcast at the top of the hour.

RE: Looking for earbud suggestions
Hi, I've got a few pair in mind and I think all three come with tips of different sizes: Bose - $99 a pair sound great, but a bit pricy, JVC has a great pair that sound great, but cannot remember price, and audio tecnica are also great sounding, but once again, cannot remember price. You can go to JR.com and view ear buds and compare the specs. FYI: sensitivty number implies loudness level meaning less volume to drive the sound. I have a pair of JVC noise cancellation full over the ear headphones that have a sensitivity of 104 decibals; the audio tecnicas have a sensitivity scale twice that meaning they drive sound much easier; and I don't remember sensitivity of bose. frequency level is the scale of low and high range sound - meaning the loer number is that of bass response and higher number is that of treble response; greater the range (e.g. 20 to 2000+) will give greatest amount of sounds from the music being played. and lower ohms level for quality of sound. that is just a brief synopsis in simplest language. Hope not too much info. I only offered the suggested site, because their prices are excellent and it allows for comparison purposes. circuit City and crutchfield also allows for comparisons, but their pricing is that of the MSRP. Bose pricing is the same everywhere, because they don't allow vendors to discount their products.

RE: connecting my portable stereo to my computerusingtheauxiliaryjacks?

Don't get me wrong, launchcast is great too, but you can't beat 320 kbps. If you don't want to customize your station, simply go to killer playlists or time machine, and choose from about 100 genres, ranging from country to just plain wierd, in all aeras of time from the 1920s onwards, if you so desire. Just download the plug in for windows media player, set up an acount and your all ready to go. I live in canada, therefore, can't make my own station due to copyright, however, this sure as heck doesn't make it a less enjoyable experience, as there are about a million stations to choose from, not to mention you can browse by artists, album etc, genre, too. Adding songs to your crate or station as you so choose. I absolutely love it- and hope you do, too! Blue beat loves hearing from us blind users- I e-mailed them about an accessibility on there website, and got a prompt response, asking me what they could do to fix the problem. I can't say enough about how unknown this website is, how nobody knows about it. Its one of the best, and it makes launchcast look bad in comparison. But, I'm on dialup, so its sort of dificult for me to get in there, the minimum bitrate is 160, so I recommend having a dsl or higher connection speed, I'm getting high speed tomorrow, so if you need more help, I'll be happy to add more detailed instructions about things. hope that helps, Tyler - Original Message - From: Lynn Schneider [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 12:34 AM Subject: RE: Yahoo and LaunchCast Plus Hi Jim.

Re: Where can I find drivers for my soundcard? I don't have them.
Hi, Crucial.com has a scanner that goes through your machine to check for memory compatibility. When I ran mine through to see how much it would cost for additional memory, the results gave me my video card type and memory, mother board type, memory type and audio card type. Just go to their site as noted above, skim through the homepage and allow it to scan your system. That will avoid having to go into the box itself and allow you to go to the homepage of the audio card to seek drivers. Alternatively, it may be listed under hardware section of My Computer properties and you can locate it and update drivers that way as well.

Windows media player has error correction so be sure to set it if you're using this program to rip audio CD's. It will rip much more slowly when this is enabled but you will get excellent results. To set the error correction flag, go to tools, options and locate the audio tab. Press enter on the properties button for your CD/DVD drives and then check the checkboxes to set error correction on. The CD transport in your computer is key to getting good results. As mentioned, EAC will scan until it finds 2 close matches in extracted WAV forms but that doesn't mean that it's perfect as if your CD transport isn't great then you'll get some very close imperfect WAV files and it'll have just taken you longer to get there. I've found laptops have the best CD transports as they tend to have a raised middle onto which you can press the CD and have it held firmly. CD transports I've seen on desktops have been quite flimsy at times and the disc can slide about when spinning. This is a great way to generate lots of jitter, particularly on the latter tracks which are on the outside of the disc and so are therefore being rocked around a lot more than the inner tracks on a flimsy transport.

That's what all DELL systems have in them to my understanding. - Original Message - From: Michael Amaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 3:20 PM Subject: another computer question Hello listers,Can someone please tell me what I can do about fixing this problem?

Re: Lossless
Hi, you can go into tools on the media player and move down to enhancements submenu. if it's on your machine, select audio converter. Alternatively, you can open start menu, all programs and select digital media enhancements from that point, which should have the audio converter there. If neither shows it, you can probably go to microsoft's website to search for an add in. I'm not sure what operating system you're using, but I have Media Center 2005 XP running wmp 11. another way is to open file folder with music you'd like to convert and choose convert from tools that way as well.

RE: Windows Media Player on PDA and various formats
HiJames, her phone uses mini compact flash memory that goes into a slot on the phone. she was told when she purchased it, in order to utilize the WMP feature, she must first add the memory, which would also allow for accessing other possible features of the phone. It's probably made by one of the phone manufacturers, but it has T Mobile's name listed and only operated via T Mobile. I don't know much about her phone, but it pretty much feels just like a Blackberry.

The Cingular 8525 does have a memory card slot for more storage, but I am not sure how, or if, one could add memory to the phone. That's probably something one would have to take into a shop for I suppose, but I don't know. How does your wife add memory to her T-Mobile Phone? It it a software thing or must one insert memory (RAM) sticks? My Windows Media does play some things (movie clips and songs from stuff from the mobile phone system), but nothing I generate, like my web site stuff or radio stations (including ACB Radio). During a demo of this phone on a blog and Code Factory, the structor played something from a radio station and an MP3, but he didn't mention anything about memory. Maybe you ca n shed some light on this issue for me. I am not that familiar with memory adding on a PDA, but would like to learn about it. thanks very much for your assistance and info.

RE: Skype and Windows Media on the Cingular 8525 PDA and kind of memoryPlayer on the
James, Have you gotten assistance from AtT with the issue? Do they offer a PDF manual online? My wife's PDA phone uses mini sd card to expand her usability, but she hasn't exhausted that feature as of yet. You may want to inquire of a user's manual via electronic format. I admit their customer service is awful, but you should be able to get basic information from them or see if you can locate a manual via the internet. Just be prpeared for all the upsaling if you call customer service - you have to spend about 2-5 minutes trying to get beyond them selling more stuff.

Now, I have the Cingular (ATT) 8525 PDA and want to play MP3's, radio stations, and other music formats on it. What is the real story? What do I have to do to make this device work properly and do what it is suppose to do. I have Mobile Speak Pocket on it too. I heard the demonstrator on the Mobile Speak Pocket and the Cingular 8525 play a radio station and music, but he never mentioned anything about memory. How do I add memory? Do I just get a larger flash card or what.

RE: Windows Media Player/Mobile and playing mp3, pls, m3u, and other formats
Hi James, My wife also has a PDA/phone, but a different model via T-Mobile. With her model, before using WMP she must load more memory for it to operate. Is that a possibility with your Singular model? Just a thought...

Re: Windows Media Player 10, Unavailable Functions
Hi Adrian, You may want to tinker around with it, such as opening the player from the desktop, then playing the file and see if the rwind feature works that way. I used it earlier by simply selecting a track from the My Music folder, and I was able to rewind that way. Im not sure about bookmarks, because Ive never used them. BTW: do you know how to select a track for ripping, burning or sync? Ive tried that using the space bar as well as the enter key and it still says unselected when moving cursor through tracks Best Regards, Cornell Original Message Follows From: Adrian Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Re: Windows Media Player 10, Unavailable Functions Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2007 14:12:36 -0400 Thanks, Cornell. But I'm surprised no one who plays audio books and lectures hasn't encountered this failure of WMP 10 to rewind with JAWS. I also wonder if anyone else has been able to use WMP 10's bookmarks feature, which JAWS also indicates is unavailable on my system. - Original Message - From: Cornell Ligon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mine have always said the same, even in version 11. I'm not sure if that's a JFW, screenreader or Media Player issue. However, depending on how I access the player, I can use the back feature. I can't remember if accessing it from the desktop or merely playing files directly from the 'My Music' folder, as to opening the plaer and accessing from a playlist or the library... Best Regards, Cornell Original Message Follows From: Adrian Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] HI. Would anyone know why my copy of Windows Media Player 10 consistently indicates that both file markers and rewind are unavailable? Fast forward is available, and I can use RealPlayer's equivalent of file markers, except I've stopped using RealPlayer. Not only are these two functions shown as unavailable, I've tried them, only to confirm they aren't. Any idea how I can make them available? Thanks.

Audigy digital output
Hi all, I just hook my pc into my home theater system and televisoin. I am using Creative Audigy 1z audio card, which has a digital in and out for playback and recording. when I hook up an RCA cord with left and right on one end and a single male 3.5mm plug on the other end plugged into the speakers out of my computer; I have no problem. However, I want to use the digital lines in and out for superior sound quality going into my system. I went into the sound advanced features and checked the box that says digital, but got no sound, so reverted my setting back to the initial way I described in this email. Any ideas of what's going wrong or what I've done wrong? thanks in advance.
