listening to internet radio stations
Hello all, I am using the stream to listen to radio stations on the internet through my wifi. I also use the line in jacks on my living room stereo to listen to the stream , as if I am getting the stations off the air. How can sighted folks do the same thing? I hear that there are stand alone devices that can play internet radio stations by using wifi in my home. thanks, Jerry Howell http://www.howellmobility.com

Re: victor reader stream question
Hi Joe, You can get a card reader from Radio Shack for ten dollars or so. I have a first generation stream and never use the USB port to connect it. It is so much faster to transfer files using a card reader. This would be a very inexpensive way to fix your problem.

Meta Data
Hello all, How can I learn about meta data as it relates to CD information on my computor. My wife has a mp3 player that uses the meta data, not the file and folder names to display content. I would like to be able to produce my own meta data for these Casettes I recorded to my PC and then sent to the player. I thought if I named the main folder as the artist, the subfolder as the album, and the files by the song name, that was all I had to do. Apparently metadata is something different.

Re: Meta Data
Hi christopher, I appreciate the info you gave me. I use windows media player 11 to rip my cds and sound forge 9 to record my casettes to mp3. I will check out the windows explorer features you mensioned and maybe can update my casette mp3 recordings with the data gotten from the casette liners.

One place where you can read up on them is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3#Editing_ID3_tags Usually your CD ripper will connect to a DB and prepopulate your ID3 tags for you. What CD ripper are you using? Also, media library applications, like Winamp and Windows Media Player will let you edit your ID3 tags and even make global changes. I know you can have your music stored in files and folders based on the ID3 tags, but I'm not sure you can go the other way, such as update your ID3 tags based on the folders and files where your music is stored. I know they can use this data to populate empty ID3 tags, so maybe you can do what you want with one of these applications. If you're using Windows, you can edit your ID3 tabs through Windows Explorer. Just use alt+enter to bring up the properties view and control+tab over to the tab that has your ID3 tags. In addition to Winamp and Windows Media Player, there are other applications you can use to make global changes to your ID3 tags. For example, in Ubuntu, I use a tool called EasyTag.

If you could record it in to mp3 format, you could use a sound editing program to lower the sample rate, which would lower the speed of the recording. Just a thought.

Re: Looking For Some Information Concerning NLS Player
Hello all, Let me put my two cents in on the subject of NLS players. I have had mine since October or November and have used it extensively, but am no techy expert. first, if the player is working correctly, the only way I believe it could tgo from 15 hours to one would be if you forgot to turn off the book or fell asleep while not using the sleep timer. The player will play until the book is finished if you don't use the sleep timer. This could be many hours. Secondly, on the BARD home page there is a link to check on the newest software. It will give each version and what changes were included in each version. The bookshelf feature was programmed in to the latest version.

Re: Looking For Some Information Concerning NLS Player
Hi Tom, If the player is actually on, but the play button hasn't been pressed, there may be a problem with the unit if it doesn't shut off after 30 minutes when it is on battery power. I really have to watch it though, because since the book starts if a cartridge is in and the on button is pressed, If I think I am turning the unit off when it is actually already off, I may be turning it on and starting a book that may go on for hours. I may do this if I take my ear phones out before pressing buttons and don't hear what the player is doing.

Re: Looking For Some Information Concerning NLS Player
Hi John, You may be correct, but from the BARD site there are no four digit versions. They all have three digits. You mension below that you have 2.1.0.3. so I am not sure what you had. when I got my player it was version 2.0.3. This didn't have the book shelf feature. The BARD site says it started in version 2.1.0 If you did have atleast 2.1 something, and didn't have the bookshelf feature, then it is a very strange thing.

As I said in an earlier post, that's not always the kase. If you ask me, this is an oversight on their part. Because not all the machines have the Bookshelf firmware on them, mine didn't.

Re: NLS Cartridges
When I bought the cartridges from ILA they were 1GB in size as far as the capacity went. The cost was $14.95 if Iremember co5rrectly. The APH cartridges are 2 GB in capacity and cost about $12.00 The APH cartridges are sent free matter.
