Hi. Napster is a service that allows users to purchase individual songs and full albums. Membership at a higher level allows you to download tracks and in some cases albums which you may keep on your harddrive as long as you continue to pay the monthly fee. I hope this helps.

Folks here turned me on to the Squeeze Box more than a year ago and I've been very pleased. However, I just updated to the 7.0 version of the Slim Server Software for streaming to a Squeeze Box and initial impressions are that the server software is less accessible than the 6.5 version. You can switch back to the classic interface which resolves most of the challenges. The main reason I updated was because now the Pandora music service is intigrated into the server software. Earlier you had to connect to the Squeeze Network. The biggest issues I noticed in the 7.0 server software were numerous instances of missing alt text, actionable UI elements no longer created as standard HTML links and many more areas that require use of a mouse. For example to play an entry in the 7.0 server software, you now need to use whatever mechanism your screen reader has for dealing with onmouseovers to get a menu of things like play and add to play list to appear.

Re: Websites for MP3
Hello Samuel. Napsteroffers membership to residents of several countries outside the U.S. including Britain Japan and Canada. One membership level lets you download files that you keep as long as you maintain your paid membership. On another level you just by tracks and albums as you would at Amazon and the like with no membership fee.In the States and here in Canada, a free trial is offered. I understand your frustration. Here in Canada, Amazon.com, Rapsidy and other companies based in the states block us from purchasing downloads at their websites. Those of us who live outside the U.S. are also blocked from listening to Clear Channels radio streams.The page that comes up when you attempt to stream a Clear Channel radio station says that non-U.S. surfers are blocked due to licensing restrictions. In my experience, I have never found a broadcast stream for any station owned by a company other than clear channel that blocks non-U.S. surfers, though others may exist that I have simply not yet discovered.

It actually can be pretty good at adjusting to various problems over a large file. The noise reduction presets are also excellent - there's usually something which works. The compression and expansion along with the general exciter presets are varied and excellent. Version 7 claims to get rid of the many sound artifacts which can occur. I also have their audio mentor which interfaces with the main program linking and using noise reduction and exciter presets effectively. I've to use the jaws cursor here but it's good. The couple of problems we have in not having a fully accessible program are as follows: 1. The file navigation and selection tools need linking into standard Windows keypresses, as in Audition and Gold Wave. At present if I'm really stuck I'll take a noise sample from the file in Audition - just a second or two - then analyse it in DC7, make a preset, then apply it to the whole file.

Re: Other Audio Editors And Jaws Scripts
Hi John. I enjoy working with DC7 and I think you will too. If you find you need a hand at any time, give me a shout and I'll do what I can. As for GoldWave, I like it for the ease with wich I can split files manually, which is my preference. I listen to each individual file from a given album at several times normal speed and place a cue point at its end. Then I do the same with each subsequent file until finished. Finally I have GoldWave split the files. Then I move to Dc7 for more concentrated editing. Just my preference. Everybody has their favorite way.

Part of the problem there is that they just haven't had a lot of blind users offering them feedback. On the plus side, I've found them to be very proactive when it comes to their willingness to support their product, whether the issue is accessibility or something else. To me, that is an important aspect when it comes to whether or not I purchase a product. DC7 allows you to play with every aspect of the program for ten days before buying it. They also offer phone and email support even for demos. For me, that counts for something. It may not be the only audio editing program you will ever need. But for my money, I would submit that there is no such thing. I use each program's strengths to accomplish what I need to accomplish. And at present, with all due respect to Sound Forge users, it is the program that I use the least. It is also the program that, for me, has generated the fewest ansers when it comes to how to questions which I have posted where and when appropriate. I make these observations with the full knowledge that other folks use Sound Forge exclusivey.

Re: Other Audio Editors And Jaws Scripts
Hi Curtis. Sure, I can help you out. DC7 is an audio editor. It is dedicated to restoring digitizing and burning CDs of materialed that originated on vinyl, cassette, 78s of all descriptions and open reel tape. Its tape hiss removal is excellent and I think it has a lot of other fantastic features, default settings which can be employed to make dramatic differences when applied to a file. Again, the down side is that neither Gordon nor I have been able to isolate a specific file segment. That being said, their support team will generally get back to you within 24 hours. As Gordon and I have mentioned, not a lot of blind people have worked with them on concerns that they have with the program. However, they are willing to work with us and happy to discuss issues and concerns. I think that if more of us discussed our concerns with them, they would be willing to make changes.

Re: Other Audio Editors And Jaws Scripts
I like your workarounds and your suggested changes. Perhaps if both of us present them, the ideas might carry more weight. Worth a try anyway. Have you tried the cassette hiss filters. The impulse filters are also excellent for getting rid of pops and clicks. I've heard a lot about audition 1.5 and I'd love to work with it, but I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy. Maybe one day. Larry - Original Message - From: G. McFarlane [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2008 8:43 PM Subject: Re: Other Audio Editors And Jaws Scripts Larry I'm sure you'll know about the automatic scratch hiss and hum removal preset in DC6 and 7. It actually can be pretty good at adjusting to various problems over a large file. The noise reduction presets are also excellent - there's usually something which works. The compression and expansion along with the general exciter presets are varied and excellent. Version 7 claims to get rid of the many sound artifacts which can occur. I also have their audio mentor which interfaces with the main program linking and using noise reduction and exciter presets effectively. I've to use the jaws cursor here but it's good. The couple of problems we have in not having a fully accessible program are as follows: 1. The file navigation and selection tools need linking into standard Windows keypresses, as in Audition and Gold Wave. At present if I'm really stuck I'll take a noise sample from the file in Audition - just a second or two - then analyse it in DC7, make a preset, then apply it to the whole file. Similarly if I'm really stuck I'll break the whole file into time sections which I take careful note of and after performing cleaning in DC7 I then rebuild the file so as not to be one frame out. 2. The other place I would like access to is the multitab editor where you can chain a variety of effects so that they are all applied at once rather than just one at a time. You can then put together your favourites and make a thorough and quicker difference. 3. The preset boxes are pretty good but it would be good to have the 'fine tuning' sliders more easy to work. At present they will work with the Jaws cursor but it would be good to make adjustments by tabbing to the particular area and making changes which you can hear instantly. To get round this I'll place the Jaws cursor in the preset combo box, tab to the preview button, once it has started use the jaws cursor to go down the list of presets, thus hearing each effect on the file in turn. It does work with not too much problem. As you say it's a wonderfully comprehensive sound editing package and so worth all this trouble. Have you tried Audition 1.5 (old now but effective) I can use this to home in on clicks and zap them. Regards.

Re: Goldwave Audio Editor
Hi Gary. Well of course I'm limited with wave forms. I think that's a problem with all such software. However, you do have built-in choices for the kind of noise that you want to reduce, and presets which allow you to work with the sound with what is quite honestly trial and error. However, the original sound is always saved, so you can mess around a bit without worrying. The kind of noise that I work with is surface noise from 78s, often with homemade recordings from back when people owned machines that recorded on 78s. I know the presets that I need for such recordings and apply them. When it comes to reducing cassette hiss, there are 4 different presets ranging from light to heavy handed and including everything in between which are clearly spoken and work extremely well with speech. You can also adjust those settings with your own variations and save them, much as you can in GoldWave. I also use Dc6 a lot for recording. It's quick and simple to set up. And if you screw up the recoring somehow and want to start over, you just hit altF4 and the program prompts you with speech, asking if you want to delete the current recording. As I said, fast, easy and painless. For recording ease alone the app is worth it to me. Now, as a Sound Forge user, can you tell me how to go about reducing vinyl pops clicks and other anomalies using Sound Forge? It's probably me, but I'm not getting it. All i see is a choice that calls itself audio restoration and offers 2 different choices for restoring. By the way, I have Window-eyes 6.1 and Jaws 8. Would scripts help? If so, where do I get them and what in the world do I do with them once I have them?

Hi Billy. Interesting question. I have 4 sound editors onboard. There's GoldWave, Sound Forge 8, DC 6 and WavePad. If you are asking about simple ease of use, accessibility and a manual that is easy to understand and set up in a way that can be accessed quickly, then GoldWave wins hands down. However, there are tasks that DC6 performs better than any piece of software that I've ever used. For instance, it has excellent hiss reduction and comprehensive noise reduction. The down side is that its manual is difficult to use with speech. And Sound Forge? I truly feel that I get less out of it than I probably should, simply due to a lack of understanding. For instance, Sound Forge works with editable files which are made into and edited from what the program calls regions. What is a region? I'm not exactly sure, nor am I certain how to go about creating one or editing the thing with keyboard alone. Perhaps it is my own inability to understand, but none of the Sound Forge faithful have been able to show me why this program is worth its hefty price tag. I would still love to know how to take a recorded file, such as that generated by a vinyl LP and edit out pops clicks and extraneous noise, then burn it onto a CD using Sound Forge only. Others in this group can do so, however I have not succeeded as yet. Meanwhile, with the exception of actually burning the CD, I can edit a project from start to finish using either GoldWave or DC6, To be entirely fair, I can perform some tasks more quickly while using Sound Forge. It's equalizer is superior. Its general audio restoration feature works quickly and for the most part reliably when applied to an entire file. But I don't find the manual easy to use, so I'm sure I'm not getting the most from the program. As for WavePad, that hasn't been discussed much here. I own a copy, but to be honest, I haven't played with it a great deal as yet. Others will have their own ideas, but if I were buying my first audio editor which could take me far beyond the beginner stage, I would choose GoldWave. Hope this helps you in some small way.

Re: Yahoo's Music Unlimited Being Discontinued
Yes it has stations and their quality is quite good. The limitation there is that they claim to be jaws compliant which they are, but the stations don't work with Window-Eyes. I have both, so I've been able to confirm the accuracy of that claim. I'd be interested to hear if any Window-Eyes users have been able to make the stations work as that is the screen reader that I prefer to use when possible and practical. You can also play many of the tracks on the service, and download them for use for as long as you subscribe. The only down side is that some tracks, too many in my view, are only available for purchase. It seems to me that if you are paying $10 a month, you should be able to download all tracks on the service for use as long as you are a subscriber without paying extra to purchase them if that is your choice. My own trial period is nearing its end, and if I don't continue as a subscriber, that one down side will be the reason why. Hope this helps you.

Re: Nero
Bruce, it's interesting that you say what you said about Easy CD-DA Extractor. I'm not a huge Nero fan and have been looking at Easy CD as an alternative. This leads to 2 questions. First, is it possible to set diffent pause lengths between individual tracks on one Cd. For instance, 2 seconds between tracks 2 and 3, 1 second between 4 and 5 and 0 seconds between 7 and 8. If so, how is this accomplished? Secondly, I've heard that in Easy CD version 11, the F8 key no longer works as a burn CD or rip command. Is this true, and if so, what's the workaround? Thanks for any and all responses.

Napster question
Hi. A few days ago someone posted a message stating that to use Napster with a screen reader, it was necessary to access using their web based interface. Since I'm considering giving napster a try among other services, I have a couple of questions. First, if I'm downloading from a web based interface rather than using their software, is there still something that I need to download as a subscriber in order to download files? Second, When accessing on the web can one do everything that other users accomplish with downloaded software? These may sound like beginner questions but my only recent downloading experience is with Emusic. Very easy to use and super reliable, but their selection, though interesting, eclectic and with some excellent choices also has a ton of gaps when it comes to many major artists.

Re: HD radio
We have a bunch of digital music cable channels that pose that problem for me. Title and artist are printed on the screen, but my wife shouldn't have to be my DJ every time I want to know what song is playing. Most of the XM stations that I've listened to will at least back announce after every 4 or 5 songs, and the decade channeles have jocks that talk even more. Plus XM play lists are much much larger than those offered by commercial stations. I thought the antenna might have a problem working inside, but the signal strength is at its highest possible level with the antenna sitting against our living room window.

Re: HD radio
Adrian, in Internet Explorer, to add a station's direct audio link to favorites, do the following. 1. Right click the link to the station's audio feed. 2. arrow down to the choice that says add to favorites and press enter. 3. Follow the usual process for placing the new favorite in any folder that you like. What I do then is to right click the favorite, send the link to my desktop and place it in a folder which is devoted to the stations that I like. Then when I want to listen to one, I don't even need to open the browser. If the station has an embedded player and won't let me add the listen link to my favorites or to my desktop, I can at least ad a shortcut for the listen page to my desktop folder, again, avoiding the need to open the browser.

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.

Problem with audio muting at random
Hi. I have a problem with my sound card muting all audio, seemingly at random. Everything looks normal on the computer but there is no sound. And if I open up Sounds and Audio devices, everything shows as muted. This problem can happen once and then not happen again for 3 months or it can happen 2 days in a row while I'm in the middle of work. So far, there's no rhyme or reason for this anomaly. My question then? Aside from trusting Windows to maintain a given audio setting, might there be software that forces audio to assume certain settings upon rebooting? Failing that, could I somehowe save a given audio configuration to the desktop, one thatI could locate and press to force my audio settings to take effect? This is an extremely random problem, so I would like a method of countering it while I try to figure out what's causing it. Thanks for any ideas.

Re: Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent, Job Related
Hi Beth. I have most of the popular sound editors onboard and when it comes to splitting files, I would recommend GoldWave. In my own work, I use it for that purpose every day. Not only is it easy to split files, but the cost is only around $50, which should make it easier to sell your employer on the purchase. The entire program is very easy to use with a screen reader and, as has been noted here, scripts are available for Jaws users. It will definitely do what you need it to do quickly and efficiently.

My job is to split these calls into separate files and save them. My boss is doing this visually by looking at the wave forms. I'm familiar with the concept of wave forms, and I can read the negative, 0 numbers, and the positive numbers with the JAWS cursor. Unfortunately, using Cool Edit and JAWS 8.0, the software they are using, I can't seem to tell where one call begins and where the that call ends and then where the next call begins. I'm supposed to record the calls, separate them, save each one into a separate file, rate it in terms of quality, and send my feedback to the powers that be. Because I couldn't find the Cool Edit scripts, I downloaded Gold wave 5.22 and the new JAWS scripts. Gold wave looks more promising, I read the manual and it appears that I should be able to do what I need to do, but it is confusing because when I receive my file of calls, I don't know ahead of time how long the calls are and where the silences are so that I can save each call as a different file. Thanks for your patience, folks. My questions are these: Can I do this with Cool Edit, that is what my colleagues are using? Or should I use something else like Gold wave, Audacity, or Sound Forge? There are other people with disabilities at the job site, but I'm the only blind person. I will try to use what works best if it isn't Cool Edit, but I'll have to convince my boss that this would better.

Re: Accessible Sirius Receiver Suggestions Please?
Hi Bob and thanks for the response. The truth is, I know next to nothing about sattelite receivers. I did phone XM, and was told they had no receivers with raised buttons. Probably not true, but I didn't appreciate the brush off. Now then, after reading your post, I have 2 questions. First, what is the name or number of the sirius model that you're using? Second, when you say that I would need to purchase the boombox that this unit would clip in to, are you talking about a standard stereo system or something else related to sattelite technonogy. Please forgive these very basic questions, but my only sattelite listening experience is through XM on Winamp. Thanks in advance.

Larry, I don't think that you are going to find a satellite receiver with speech output. The particular unit that I have is pretty straight forward, and the buttons are raised and are in a straight row at the bottom of the unit. They appear as little dots that are easy to feel. There are long bar type buttons on the front panel off to the left that perform other functions, and on the boombox itself there is a cluster of raised buttons; volume up, volume down, off, and mute. When you change channels you hear a little beep that tells you that you are indeed changing channels. The Source has this particular unit on sale for I believe to be $129. This of course, does not include the boombox that the unit clips into. This is a good unit for people with low vision, as the faunt on the display window can be changed. Ideally it would be nice to have a unit that would tell you verbally what song is playing. I am wondering if a speech device could be hooked up to the unit to read out the information on the display window. I think that it is dooable. This would be similar to the device that reads out the frequencies on ham radio equipment. - Original Message - From: Larry N [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 10:10 PM Subject: Accessible Sirius Receiver Suggestions Please?

Re: Accessible Sirius Receiver Suggestions Please?
Hi Tim. I agree. Excessible is a term that I use primarily within the confines of this group. After all, how is a sighted person supposed to know what that means to me. And even within this group it's almost a cliche. That being said, excessible to me means raised buttons for changing channels and all. Speech would be nice, but I didn't think it existed.

I agree. Cassette to Cd is quite Viable. I've transferred many of my own and for customers with good results.

I would especially recommend such a transfer if the cassette is one that you like to listen to frequently.

Re: How to best or easiest way to Record Audio Cassettes to the PC?
Yes, you can plug the cassette deck directly into your computer. The reason that I prefer a receiver is that it allows me to patch in multiple sources, such as a turntable, another deck or even a tuner. I also like using a mixer as it lets me tweek the audio and to some degree the volume, directly from the mixer before I start recording. - Original Message - From: Brett Boyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2007 3:48 AM Subject: Re: How to best or easiest way to Record Audio Cassettes to the PC? quick question.

That would be a good thing to check when setting up any recording system, yes. I've never run into the problem with any of my setups,, but I can see how it could very easily be a factor.

Re: How to best or easiest way to Record Audio Cassettes to the PC?
Hi Gail and welcome to the group. You will first need to connect a receiver to your computer and then connect your cassette deck to your receiver. If you need help in doing that, there are plenty of people here who can guide you through it. As for transferring your cassettes to the computer and editing them, I agree with Walter. GoldWave is your best and most economical choice. It also boasts excellent documentation. There are lots of GoldWave users on this list who can help you with any problems. Finally, for burning, Easy CD-DA Extractor would be worth considering. You could download the fully functional trial version and see what you think. Again, lots of users of that program on this list. You might also want to think about downloading Express Burn. It's also a good CD burner and works very well with Jaws. There are more expensive sound editors and burners out there, but for cost and ease of use, those would be my suggestions. That should get you started with some things to try out. - Hope this helps.

First and foremost, there is no doubt whatever that Easy CD DA Extractor has come one hell of a long and mighty way since I last tried it some years ago however it still falls short in several areas if accuracy in ripping from CD'S is what you're after and considering that Exact Audio Copy and Max are freeware applications and Easy CD DA Extractor isn't then this in my view is some cause for concern. Where the accuracy shortfall occurs is in the fact (it seems) that you cannot set the read and write offsets for your drive, that's very important for CD Ripping and CD burning, now please someone correct me if I'm wrong, I'd in fact relish being wrong because I cannot believe that such a good product as Easy CD DA Extractor wouldn't have this feature. So with that shortcoming out of the way I looked at the various file formats on offer for output. Yep, no doubt again, quite a range but unless I'm not looking thoroughly enough the formats it seems to me aren't customisable. For example let's take MP3 layer 3, all you get when selecting the options are 128K, 256K, 9 levels of VBR etc and that's it. Again, unless I'm missing something then this is a very poor show. So you pick 128K for example, what quality mode is used here for the encoder? Is it stereo, mono or joint stereo the encoder will be encoding in? What sample rate is going to be used? All this information seems to be determined for you and (whilst most will be content to leave things at that) I'm not because I find optimizing your MP3 encoder for various situations can save you a whole heap of space and a whole heap of trouble whilst not compremising on good audio quality. Further to this when you select one of the VBR modes offered, which VBR method will the encoder use, the old or the new method? The new method is indeed faster but the old method (whilst slower) is of a far better quality and there are other VBR settings which should be available which don't seem to be, 2 quality settings for example whereas Easy CD DA Extractor only allows the access to one. Now to the Format Conversion section, again very nicely laid out but one annoyance here and perhaps this will be fixed in later versions. One would think for instance that if you had say a Wave and Cue pair of files (as generated by many rippers including EAC, Max Ripper and even Easy CD DA Extractor itself), you should therefore be able to open the cue file which would therefore in tern open the associated Wave file and you should be able to convert the content to MP3 tracks or whatever, not so it seems which is a crying shame. So there you have it, some of my thoughts on Easy CD DA Extractor but its still worth supporting at $49.00. Join the fight against spam! Have your ISP enable client/server authentication.

Re: Burning Audible Books to CD
Hi, actually it's my understanding that they don't have a trial version available as yet. If you want to purchase the program at the reduced price, you would be doing so in advance of release, and with no demo to try before you buy. That's why I would hesitate. There's no guarantee that I would be able to use the program once purchased. Probably, but not definitely. I've been burned often enough to hesitate, ya know?

Re: Audiotapes onto CDs
I would have to respectfully disagree with the oppinion that one can't edit with DC6. . I use DC6 for editing on a daily basis. Perhaps it could be said that certain aspects of DC6 are innaccessible or less accessible than other editors, but I honestly have not run into anything except for a bit of a learning curve for certain editing issues. The menus are quite accessible, and all filters can be tried without fear, because all of them have a clearly spoken preview mode that lets you listen to the change in question while changing nothing in the actual file until you apply the alteration. Many on this list prefer Sound Forge or Goldwave, both excellent choices which I also use daily. I'm only offering an oppinion that DC6 is also a viable consideration for the mix Speaking as someone who uses several different editors professionally, I would advise that anyone intrested might be best served by trying demos of all the major editors. Then choose the one that fits your needs, comfort level and budget. That's why demos are out there. In the end, what works for you is the best choice.

Re: Audiotapes onto CDs
Samuel, if you don't mind spending a bit more, DC6 offers 4 levels of dedicated hiss removal and always lets you preview the results before you save them. Even after you save your results, you still have the original file and can go back to it if you change your mind. You can also create your own hiss removal filters within the program. If memory serves, the price of DC 6 lives somewhere in the middle between the cost of GoldWave and the full version of Sound Forge.

Re: Nero 7 Question
Tony, the interesting... oK frustrating thing about Nero 7 is that it will not let you out of its little browser when you want to choose an alternative method of finding files. For instance, let's say you have files that you want to gather together from several folders. With Nero 6, you could do that easily. What I've found with 7, is that I had to create an audio folder and ask my wife to set Nero to land in that folder when choosing audio. That should work, as it has been my experience that Nero 7 doesn't want to migrate from folder to folder using the keyboard. On the plus side, it will let you work with files within the folder as before. I don't think I'll be buying Nero 8 unless it's a lot more excessible than 7.

Nero 7 Question
I just downloaded Nero 7, through an Audible.com promotion which supposedly allows one to burn Audible books to CD while also letting you burn standard CDs as usual. My first problem is that when faced with the entire Nero Suite, I can't even find the CD burning element of the program. First, how do I find the CD burning element of the program? Second, is it anywhere near as accessible as Nero 6, or should I downgrade instead of paying for an upgrade?

Easy CD DA Extractor Questions
Hi. First, can I create a CD where some tracks have the standard 2 second pause before the next track starts playing, while other tracks have a 0 or 1 second pause? If so, how do I do that?

Ultra weird GoldWave problem
I've been using GoldWave for a long while and am now using version 5.19. This is happening on 2 computers, so it's either me or GoldWave, not the hardware. In my work, one of the things I do is to divide vinyl albums into separate tracks after transferring them to the computer. Once divided, I trim the silence off the beginning and then go to the end and trim silence from that end of the file. If the song is say... 3 minutes long, I now have a 3 minute file. Quite naturally, I then hit save. Once doing that, in about a quarter of my files, I then have a file that is 59 seconds long. Not 58, not a minute, but almost always 59 seconds. Any Goldwave experts care to take a shot at that one?

Splitting tracks in Sound ForgeRe: new rechargeable ready to go:
I believe this is probably a simple issue, but I'm having trouble finding the solution in Sound Forge eight's PDF manual. I want to divide trakds after transferring them from a vinyl album to the computer. Up to now, I've performed the task in GoldWave, which, as mentioned in another post, hasn't been working for me lately. Can someone tell me how to do this in Sound Forge 8 using Window-Eyes?

Re: Audio on Windows Vista
Hi Edwin. As far as I know, Sound Forge 8.0 cannot be installed on Vista. You would have to upgrade to Sound Forge 9.0 to use the program on Vista. One of my Vista concerns is that it will not run some programs that were designed for XP. So, yes you do indeed have advantages with new Vista audio alternatives, but you may also find that a necessary element of the upgrade is to upgrade software as well. And in some cases, there could be software packages that the developer has abandoned. While these audio aspects are no reason to reject Vista, it seems to me that they must be considered when deciding whether or not to upgrade to Vista. Just my two cents for whatever it's worth. Larry - Original Message - From: Edwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 7:48 PM Subject: Audio on Windows Vista Hi All, I recently tried playing with Windows Vista and thought of asking some audio related questions as I am still in the midst of exploring. I got to say that, if vista matures a little further as time progresses, its worthwhile the upgrade just for the audio part. 1 very big bonus is that we could now control indivisual volume controls through the mixer. For example, if we are listening to real player streams, on xp systems, when u tune down the volume, it utilise the wav volume and this would affect our screen readers too. However, on vista, u could indivisually set the current active application's volume level. In this case, u could have different levels for your screen reader and real player. This is especially benificial for jaws as eloquence of jaws on xp system uses the main level of the volume control of your soundcard. But, I am just a bit puzzled. If such a powerful volume mixer exists in vista, why there isn't a volume control icon on the startup group like in xp? I know 1 could just go to control panel and go in to the sounds item to select our sources and go in to the properties page to set them, however, i find slightly of a hassel to do that. Of-course I could just create a shortcut of the sndvol32.exe at the start menu. Any intake from listers on this? Next, though not completely audio related, but someword related. I tried installing Sound Forge 8.0D in vista. I got a msg that SF needs .frame network 1.1. I tried installing but got some error message and my .dot frame network couldn't be installed. Does listers know why is this so and is there a work around? Finally, its regarding vista's windows media centre. I understand that we could setup our tv-tuner card to work with WMC and use it to set schedules and recordings etc and just use it without installing any related pvr softwares, as in xp. Currently, I have a cable set top box attached to my card. When I tried configuring it and told it that my card is attached to a external set top box, it told me that I need a microsoft remote control or something of that sort. I am a bit puzzled on this. How exactly does this work? Is WMC any accessible at all? Have I done anything wrong? Thanks all and hope to get any relevant input from listers who have experience with vista and its audio. Thanks.

Re: Listening to www.cjob.com
Bruce, on one of our home systems I tried the links that read popup_audioplayer, Click to Listen to CJOB online and Listen Live. All gave me the Bombers game that they're broadcasting now. We used to have a Linksys router and it gave us the same problem that you are experiencing, along with sharing issues within our network. After some frustrating attempts to resolve the issues, we replaced it with a Netgear router. That solved both streaming and sharing problems.Probably not quite what you're hoping to hear, but that was our experience.

Hi Kenneth. If I might ask a question that will doubtlessly seem ridiculous to long time sound forge users, where might I find Sound Forge's CD burner?

CD Architect Question
Since I've started editing certain Vinyl and cassette to CD transfer projects in Sound Forge 8, I've learned that Nero 6.6 will not burn projects touched by SF. It consistently reports that I have a CDR in my drive, and that I need a CDR-RW instead. This is not true, as I have Nero set to Audio CD. Furthermore, Nero does not display the same anomaly when I burn a disk that was edited with DC6, Goldwave, or WavePad. So far, CD Architect seems to be the only burning program that will touch a Sound Forge edited project. My problem is that some of my customers want no gaps between tracks. In Nero, removing the 2 second gap between tracks is a simple matter. How can I accomplish the same thing when using CD Architect? As always, thanks for any suggestions you might be able to offer.

Re: CD Architect Question
Hi there. Yes in Nero there's no problen removing the 2 second gap. just do the following. 1. Place focus on a track which you want preceeded by something other than the default 2 second pause. 2. press alt+enter. At this point your screen reader should indicate that you are now in an edit field. 3. Tab twice. When you do that, your screen reader should say something like pause 2, indicating that Nero is set to pause for 2 seconds before the highlighted track begins. 4. Write in the number of seconds that you would like Nero to pause before beginning the track in question. Note that if you want no pause, you should enter in 0. 5. Press enter to save your choice and repeat the process with any other tracks where you would like the preceeding pause to be different than the default 2 seconds. Hope this helps.
