Re: Mp3 player/recorder with line in?
If you want something not so expensive, checkout the better voice recorders from Sony and Olympus. The Sony ICD-SX57 has 256 megs of built-in memory and offers line-in recording. You can even tell it to let you control the recording level manually and turn a limiter on or off. However, it records in the LPEC format and one has to use the supplied and very accessible Memory Voice Editor, if one wants to archive the show in Wave or MP3. Also, the lowest recordable frequency is 80 Hertz, so I'd not use it for high quality music recordings. However, the Sony's are great for recording speech programs like news or talk shows. The Olympus DS-30 has 256 mb of built-in memory as well and it offers talking menus. It records in WMA, which can be easily converted to MP3 with free programs like Switch. However, it doesn't offer direct line-in recording. One has to buy an additional Olympus cable called KA333 to do that. Both recorders should be available for about or less than $200. *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: Hello, A friend of mine wants to record things like the radio and tv using some sort of modern mp3 or similar audio player/recorder. We're looking around for any such unit which is inexpensive and has a line in jack. Are there any such things available? I know of the PlexTalk, and I think MileStone311 also can do this, but I was hoping to find something a bit less expensive. Perhaps the Edirol R9 may also do this, I'm not sure, but that comes with a price too. He has a Creative Moovo, I think he said, It does what he wants, but you must crawl thru a dozen menus to do it.

Re: Looking for microphone for Olympus DS40
SoundProfessionals SP-SM13. A wonderful microphone for the Olympus stereo recorders. One can plug it onto the recorder or put it onto the clothe, when one buys the extention cable and the clip as well. But you could also sell the DS-40 and wait for the new Olympus LS-10, which should be out in March. This is a little music recorder and it comes with a built-in stereo microphone including a wind screen. *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: I recently purchased an Olympus DS40 recorder, but I am horribly disappointed with the supplied stereo microphone.

Re: Voice Recorders
Ray, you wrote: Wonder if I might ask Michael, do you intend doing a podcast about the Sony ICD-SX67? It sounds an interesting recorder. I'm not planning to do that. In the U.S., only the 256k version, the ICD-SX57 is available BTW. It still would be a great radio talkshow recorder. I think a good comparative review would be useful now, especially if and when someone gets their hands on the new Marantz portable recorder. It's quite similar to the Edirol R-09, but one cannot fast forward and rewind with sound quickly with the Marantz. The speaker is like the one in the Stream, quite weak, but better than nothing. One can store all the settings of the recorder onto an SD card, edit the stored text file and then load it back into the recorder. However unlike the Edirol, the Marantz doesn'T have switches for rec level control, lowcut and so on. I'll append a config file for the PMD620 to this message.

Re: Another Way to Convert Files Using Winamp
Hi Steve, I like your conversion method, because one can choose some formats, which theDiskWriter PlugIn doesn't handle. However, I can't start the conversion, after I've configured the format PlugIn. With the DiskWriter PlugIn, one simply plays the file to convert it, but this doesn't work with the format PlugIn. Does one first have to put the file into the media library? Thanks *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: Following on from Chris's very comprehensive message about converting files in winamp there is another way to do this. 1) Go into the Winamp preferences and go to the plug-ins section. 2) In plug-ins go to the Media Library section. 3) Tab twice to get to the list of plug-ins associated with the media library. The plug-in you need to choose to convert files is called the Nullsoft format Converter. 4) Tab once to the Configure Selected Plug-In button and press space on that button.

Re: New flash recorders from Sony and Marantz
Dane, you wrote: I wanted to be able to edit on-the-fly rahter than having to transfer data to a computer and in this respect, the Minidisc machines I have come into their absolute own, whether the new flash recorders that the subject line relates to will be able to handle this I don't know, I hope they do though. I think, that Minidisc will be the best solution for a long time, if you want powerful editing functions on the recorder itself. With the Sony PCM-D50, you can divide tracks while and after recording, but you cannot combine, as one can with Minidisc. The Marantz PMD620 has a function called copy segment, with which one should be able to isolate a certain portion of a file, which one wants to quickly upload. However, this portion has to be written to a card, which may take relatively long, if the passage is several hundred megs big. No flash recorder offers the nice rehearsal, which makes setting trackmarks on Minidiscs so powerful. The Plextalk PTR2 can do it, but it has other disadvantages, when it comes to editing, it doesn't make the space of deleted audio available in a lot of situations for instance. *** Michael Lang *** Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
New flash recorders from Sony and Marantz
The new Sony PCM-D50 could be seen as a successor to the Minidisc. One can find more info by searching the blogosphere via blogsearch.google.com. The Marantz PMD620 might be kind of an Edirol R-09 with a built-in speker.

Re: Appending on the Olympus recorders
Walt, you wrote: How large is the DS-3300? It's the size of most other digital recorders. You could try to locate the 3300 manual on the net, there you'd find the exact size. How many batteries, and what type does it require? 2 AAAs. How many folders does it have, and how many messages per folder? The number of folders is settable by the dealer. Minimum is 1, maximum is 7. You can ask your dealer to set your desired number before you buy the recorder. If I remember correctly, one can record up to 199 messages per folder. How many speeds, and how much capacity at highest quality speed? Speeds? Do you mean recording qualities? two. How many hours one can record in the highest quality depends on the capacity of the used XD Picture card. One minute of audio in the highest quality requires approximately 100 KByte, so you'd need six megabytes for one hour of audio. To what extent are its menus accessible? They don't talk as they do on the DS-50, but they're totally accessible via the supplied DSS Player pro software on the PC. The Olympus DS-3300 has the index feature, known from other Olympus recorders. Index marks are settable and eraseable while and after recording messages. The machine records in the DSS format, which doesn't sound as good as WMA. This machine was built, so that one can edit messages as well as possible. Quite a few parameters are settable by the dealer, number of folders, amount of beep tones, function of the programmable button etc. If you buy the 3300, you should find a dealer, who knows about these settings and can configure the recorder, so that a blind person can use it as well as possible. *** Michael Lang *** Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Which High Quality portable recorder should I get?
I'd buy the Plextalk PTR2 or the new Sony ICD-SX57 or 67. The Plextalk is the most accessible, because it's made for blind people. The Sony records in a propriatary format called LPEC, but it's easy to convert the files to Wave or MP3 with the supplied software. With this software, the Digital Voice Editor, one can also set the menu of the recorder. This works well with a screen reader like JAWS. The Sony is a voice recorder, but one can set it to manual record level control with or without limiter. Like many other voice recorders, it emits different beep tones in different situations, which makes the thing more fun to use than an Edirol for instance. It also has a built-in speaker. I have my ICD-SX67 since Friday and I haven't heard any artifacts, when I use the best quality setting LPEC 128 KBPS.

Re: Which High Quality portable recorder should I get?
Hi Rick, you wrote: Hi Michael, do you prefer this new Sony over the Olympus ds50 and if so, why? They both have their advantages and disadvantages: The Olympus offers talking menus, which makes working with it easy. One can precisely jump to specific times in a file by using the time navigation feature. The Sony is for people, who'd like to have more high quality features like manual recording level and line-in recording. It is a really nice recorder for radio broadcasts, because of its line-in recording facility. There is a resistor cable for the Olympus, which attanuates the line-in signal, so that it doesn't get distorted, when it is reamplified by the mic preamp, but this reamplification always adds some noise to the signal. The mic input of the Sony can easily be switched to line-in. Whenever one connects the recorder to something via the mic-in, it asks, whether the socket should be used as a mic input or line input. It remembers the last setting, so if one always uses it as a line input, one just presses the play / enter key. It's really interesting to compare the two and I could go on for some time I guess, but all in all I'd say, that the Olympus is easier to use, uses a not so propriatary format and has great time navigation features, while the Sony offers more high quality options. *** Michael Lang *** Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I like to listen to university lectures and there are quite a few on the net. However, I don't want just single lectures but whole courses. The oldest provider is proberbly the Teaching Company (www.teach12.com). They now offer a lot of their courses as MP3 downloads and I especially like Robert Greenberg's music courses. While they're not extremely expensive, they are not free. Here are two links, where one can find interesting free courses. The first leads to a course about the Byzantinian empire, the second to quite a few courses of a New York university. Does anybody here have more links to complete courses? There is of course iTunes u, but I don'T want to use iTunes: http://www.anders.com/lectures/lars_brownworth/12_byzantine_rulers/ http://podcast.york.cuny.edu/lectures/ *** Michael Lang *** Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Review of two interesting MP3 players
There has been a lot of talk about the new CreativeLabs Stone recently. iRiver has also released some relatively cheap players, the T50 and T60. Unlike the Stone, which uses a built-in battery, the iRivers use normal AA or AAA batteries and they can play OGG Vorbis files.

Re: phantom and Plug-In power
Reed, you wrote: Can someone explain phantom power and Plug-In power for me? What are they, how do they differ, when would you want to use one or the other etc.? Normally, you have no choice, there's either PlugIn or phantom power. Phantom is for pro users, it's provided via XLR input sockets. The 48 Volts provided are fine for mics which are quite power hungry. PlugIn power on the other hand is for consumer mikes, it comes via a mini-jack. The 3 to 10 volts provided are not enough for a lot of microphones. Therefore, PlugIn powered mikes are normally not very big. Most consumer recorders, MD portables, dictation machines and so on offer PlugIN power. A lot of professional recorders and mixers, the Marantz PMD660, 670 and 671 for instance, offer phantom power. If you connect a battery driven consumber mike to a recorder providing PlugIn power, there's no problem. But if you do that with a battery driven pro mike and a recorder or mixer using phantom power, the microphone might be dammaged or become totally unusable. *** Michael Lang *** Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a WS-320M, and on that player you can only increase the speed of WMA files which were recorded on the player, but not of MP3's. If it is possible to speed up the playback of MP3's, do they still play in stereo once they are speeded up?

Re: Digital players for listening to audio books
Russ, I know the Sony ICD-U70. It has great speed control. One can speed up MP3 file playback up to 100 %. However, it's speaker is not really useable, it is much too soft.

Olympus DS-40: First review
Today, I read the first hands-on review of the DS-40. The reviewers, seemingly a british company which distributes such products, like the 40 quite well. They write, that putting the clip microphone onto the recorder is a bit tricky. According to the review, one always seems to have to go into the menu, when one wants to change the playback speed. That would be really cumbersome. I like it as it is on the better Sony voice recorders, where one sets the alternative speed in the menu and then can easily change between normal and alt speed with a mechanical switch.

Re: Best Device For Recording Singing/Instruments
Hi Katrina, you wrote: I have had horrible luck using the Olympus VN3100. Goldwave has helped a bit, but the quality continues to be unacceptable. The VN-3100 is a recorder for note taking. There are Olympus recorders, which produce much better quality recordings, but all use an automatic level control, which is optimized for voice recordings. Like the first poster, I think that the Edirol R-09 would be great for that purpose. If the music you want to record is relatively soft, you might hear the preamp, which is a bit noisy. In that case, you could buy the Edirol Microphone from Sound Professionals. It costs $99 and it can be plugged onto the recorder. Because it is quite loud, one doesn't have to turn up the recording level as far as with the built-in mic and therefore, one doesn't get as much noise from the preamp. *** Michael Lang *** Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: mini disc recorders?
I stilll like Minidisc a lot. SonicStage isn't very screenreader friendly, because one cannot read its selection lists, but if one selects all and then executes the upload function of the menu, all tracks are uploaded and one hears a sound, when the upload has been finnished. But I like Minidisc, because one can use it so independently from a PC. With the Rehearsal function of the newest and may be last HI-MD-recorder, the MZ-RH1, one can set trackmarks very precisely without having to use a program under the Microsoft operating system which we all love so much because of its reliability and stability. Archiving on HI-MD is so easy! One doesn't have to do anything, no need to upload and copy to an external hard drive. And since MD works opto-magnetically, the data on it should be a bit safer as on a magnetical hard drive. I like flash recorders as well, but if I want to work independently from my PCs, MD is unbeatable. *** Michael Lang *** Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sanyo still makes nice ones, although with a relatively low storage capacity. The Olympus WS-320M is quite nice, but it is not a real USB mass storage device, because it uses MTP and therefore only works under XP and Vista. Sony's ICD-U70 is quite good as well. A real USB mass storage device, like the Olympus has a built-in USb plug, can play MP3 files much faster than normal speed, 100% faster, has a very week built-in speaker and exact resume, offers fast forward and rewind with sound. But it's five way navigation key is relatively small and one should remove the AAA battery, if one doesn't use it for two days or so, because like a lot of Sony voice recorders it eats batteries fast. It has one gigabyte of built-in memory. Its recording format is Sony propriatary. All in all, the Sony ICD-U70 is one of my favorite MP3 players at the moment. A Sony MP3 player without any copy protection, hard to believe, but true. *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: I recently heard a computer show about the German made Trekstor mp3 player/recorder. It is now available in the USA. It comes in 8-12 GB and does not require any software. As usual you can use it by copying and pasting the files to the device's drive letter with My Computer area. Whether it's accessible: them menus I doubt it. In Germany it has 30 percent market share. The unit has line in. Suppourts mp3, WMA, WMA DRM, OGG. Yuo get 20 hours playback. The battery can be bought from the company. I hear Amazon sells it. Maybe Mike Lang knows a bit this one. Any info is appreciated. Best to wait for the new Book Port for now.

Re: Marantz Model PMD660
OK, I'll include replies to a couple of messages in this one. Judy, you wrote: to continue this topic, are the profiles in some way locked? One would hope that an accidental push of a key wouldn't throw you into a menu that would change something or from which you can't exit... Going to another profile inadvertently is hardly possible, since you have to go into a menu to do that. Keith, you wrote: *To me that's highly significant. If I am interpreting what your saying here, once you have the settings for each program adjusted to your tates you then just need to select the profile you want to record to and your good to go. To me that seems more blind friendly then starteing from scratch every time? It depends. If you do not need more than three profiles,working with the Marantz may indeed be easier than working with the Edirol. But if you for instance, need to sometimes record with the automatic level control and the internal mic, sometimes with the manual recording level control and the internal mic, sometimes with the automatic level control and an external mic and sometimes with the manual recording level control and an external mic, you'd already need four profiles, and if you then sometimes wanted to record via the line-in ... So, if you're happy with three profiles, the 660 should be quite easy to handle. Bob, you wrote: Just wanted to find out a little bit about the machine in question, as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Canada is using these machines quite extensively in the field. Can't understand why they didn't go with the R09 at half the price. Up to this point they were using the Sony mini disc, and before that they were using Sony cassette recorders. I still have a Sony 850 and a 600 reel to reel recorder that I will be getting rid of very shortly. Well, reporters like to set markers, but the Edirol cannot do that. They also like to have a built-in speaker, not available on the Edirol either.

Edirol R-09: New firmware 1.1 available
Today, Edirol will release version 1.1 of the R-09 firmware. I haven't updated yet, but according to the readme file, this shouldn't be a problem for blind people, because one doesn't have to use a menu to do it. The most important new feature is SDHC compatibility. The Edirol R-09 now works with the new SDHC cards. SDHC is the name of the new SD card specification 2.0, which standardizes the new SD card capacities from 4 to 32 gigabytes. There are none SDHC cards of 4 gigs available, but it's proberbly much safer to use an SDHC card, and I've already seen eight gigabytes SDHC cards. Somebody already has uploaded the firmware to a yousendit address and at taperssection.com, a couple of people have used this firmware to successfully update their Edirol recorder: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=downloadufid=A6A3B0B0242A100C *** Michael Lang *** ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

Re: Question about Olympus DS2
Chris, There is indeed as software, with which one can change the menus of the DS-2. It is the plus version of DSS Player. To get it, you have to first install the DSS Player from the supplied CD. Then you have to update it to the plus version via the web. The update option can be found in the DSS Player menu. The update costs between ten and twenty Dollars. *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: Hey guys. I just this month got an Olympus DS2 Digital voice recorder. I love it, and just about have most of the menus I'd ever need to know memorized by heart, however, maybe I misheard this, but is there a 3rd party software that I could install to make the menus speak?

Re: Time for a lesson on bit rates
Jim, if you record with PCM Wave, the recorder needs ten megs per minute. If I want to know, how much space is required, while recording with a certain bitrate, I divide it by two. When one records with 64 KBPS for instance, one would need a little less then 32 megs per hour. If one records with 128 KBPS, one needs a little less then 64 megs per hour. This formular gives a relatively rough estimate, but it is accurate enough for me, because one always gets a little more time, than the calculation suggests. And now a little question. Which file is bigger, a 64 KBPS stereo file or a 64 KBPS monaural one? Answer: Which box is heavier, a one Kilogram plastic box or one made of iron also weighing one Kilogram? *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: Hi there, Well, I think that now that I have an Edirol, it's time I start learning about things, such as bit rates and speeds. Here's why. I tried recording a friend's 50 minute gig on it today using the 64 mb card that it came with. I was under the impression that if I used the Edirol on the wave setting, it would be about a mg a minute, and that would give me about 50 mgs on the card. Well, such was not the case, because I only got about one song and a little bit of banter, and the song wasn't even four minutes long. I got home and hooked it up to the computer and saw that the card was completely used up with just that. So, not knowing much about how bit rates work, doing the math conversions, and such, I'd like for someone to explain all of this to me in a logical way so that I know what to use for recording when. If this has been talked about on the list, then feel free to respond to me off list; however, I wonder if others wouldn't like some sort of explanation as well.

Re: Edirol R-09
The R-1 didn't offer fast forward and rewind with sound. The one of the R-09 is one of the best I've ever heard on a recorder: When fast forwarding or rewinding, the sounds one hears are very close together, no big gaps as with some other recorders. The recorder first moves relatively fast, faster than a Minidisc recorder, but one can hear a lot of the music through which one moves. After one has held the button for a couple of songs, the R-09 gets faster! faster! faster! until one only hears one or two bits for each song. I think this is really great! If I just want to go to the next song or want to hear what the DJ says between the songs of a recorded radio show or music Podcast, the first cuing speed is great, but if I want to go forward or backward an hour or two, I keep holding the button and the accelerated cuing moves me to the desired position quickly. Another fine thing is the peak LED. At first I thought, it was a little scratch on the unit, but when somebody told me, that this is a peak LED, I tried whether I could hear it light up with my light probe. And indeed, this works quite well. I can check, whether the recording level is too high for a source, by listening to the peak LED with my light probe. *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: Hi what I would like to know is.

Re: Edirol R-09
Hi Keith, Well, there are a number of light probes available. I use one manufactured in the UK and while the manufacturer (RNIB?) still produces a light probe, the one I use isn't available anymore. Every distributor of stuff for the blind should have at least one light probe, check with your canadian distributors. *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: Hello Mr. Lang, Great information.

Re: Edirol R-09
Pam, you wrote: Gary, since you mentioned this in your post I wonder if you or someone could give me a description of how to delete files. I know it can be done but the person who did it on the original sd card was sighted and was purely going by the printed instructions. Here's how I do it: I search for the file to be deleted with the forward and backward button, then I play a little bit of it and stop. I briefly press the finder button to go to the finder, this is like Windows explorer. The last played file is selected. I press enter on it, now I'm in a list of possible operations like rename. I press down twice to go to the delete option. I press the record button (enter) twice and this deletes the file.

Re: Digital Recorder
Keith, I know the PMD670, which has the same keys than the 671. With the 671, you can record in 24 Bit and charge AA batteries internally, but the handling is identical. What would you like to record with the 671? In my opinion, the Plextalk PTR2 is much better in most cases, because it talks.

Re: PlexTalk ptr1 review
Hello Sky, Glad you liked my review. I always record my reviews with the PTR1 or PTR2. Their overwrite mode is really wonderful, overwriting mistakes is easier than on tape recorders. Because one can record onto flash cards, there are no noise problems, which one can have when recording onto a PC directly. I then use SoundForge for making final cuts, normalizing etc. *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: Hey Michael. I really enjoyed your PlexTalk PTR1 review on Main Menu.
