Hi alexandra, as you see from the subject line, it is 170 beta2. that 
is the latest version i have. what happens if i try to convert an ogg 
file is this. it appears to do the conversion, and if i go to where 
the converted file should be, it is there. it will tell me the size 
of the converted file in bytes. if i then open it in foobar, it will 
show me at the bottom of the xcreen come up one with 8, what rate the 
conversion was done at, whether the file is in mono or stereo, and 
the length of the file in hours and minutes. there is one problem, 
although foobar says it has it loaded, it won't play it. i then 
loaded the file in to soundforge7. it also acknowledged that it had 
it loaded, would give me the  details in rate and length of the file, 
but wouldn't play it. my friend is still using 151, and he says it 
will still convert ogg to mp3. i had this programme myself, but when 
later versions came out, i moved to them, assuming that they would do 
everything that 151 would do. at present i have versions 160 and 170 
beta2 on this machine. 160 behaves the same as 170 with regard to ogg 
files conversions. if you remember alexandra, i tried to reinstall 
151 again, and you helped me with the ini file. i failed to do that, 
as 151 can't find the directory where i have put the files to 
convert. well, there it is, all of it. best wishes, brian.

re foobar for james

2014-03-08 Thread brian parker
Hi james, as i said in one of my earlier messages, when i installed 
foobar on my new computer, which was about three months ago, i went 
to the bottom of the screen with the numpad. i then arrowed up one 
line. there was something there, that when i did a left click brought 
the left and right arrows alive.  when one has clicked on this, the 
line changes, and it becomes the line where the information for the 
file is shown. i used to have a note about foobar saying what this 
precise thing on which to click. but, i have unfortunately lost that 
note. however, i recognised it when i was setting up foobar2000 
again. listers, it doesn't matter how you get the hotkeys aliv, as 
long as you do. so, follow james's instructions is good enough if you 
can't follow what i have said. brian.





re foobar hotkeys

2014-03-07 Thread brian parker
Hi, i only use two hotkeys in foobar, as i only use it as a player. 
to start at the beginning of a file, the hotkey is letter c. the 
pause is letter x. i have forgotten precisely what the position is, 
but when you first bring up foobar, and got to the bottome of the 
screen, if you come up one movement with the numbpad if you are using 
wineyes, you will find somewhere to do a lift click, if you do that, 
the hotkeys will come alive. in foobar, when you open it, it will 
take you back to the last file you were playing at the point at which 
you switched off. the same if you press on the last file you were 
playing. i would have to uninstall foobar, and install it again, to 
find what it says when you come up one movement with the numbpad. brian.





re foobar for alexandra

2014-03-07 Thread brian parker
Hi alexandra, i don't know of any way to jump to a particular 
position, but if you have a file playing, the left and right arrows 
will move you forward and back the file. be careful, if you get to 
the end of the file, you can't go back with the arrow keys, but will 
have to start again with letter c. brian.

marking memory sticks

2014-01-31 Thread brian parker
Hi list, this may seem a strange question, but?  i am having trouble 
marking memory sticks. some of them have a suitable surface on which 
to write a braile number. unfortunately some of the ones i have, have 
a sort of stippled surface, on which it is impossible to write 
anything. have any of you had this problem, and what did you do about 
it, apart from using bad language. brian.





re marking memory sticks

2014-01-31 Thread brian parker
Hi rick, is it really off topic, if you need the information. when i 
was six years old, my mother started to teach me braille by hand. 
this was in 1939, when there were braile machines, but we didn't have 
one. there was something called a hand frame. imagine a gide with 
cells in it. 26, to be precise. in each cell, there was six 
depressions. one used   a thing called  a style to press out the 
separate dots. the style passed through the paper, and wen in to the 
depression, leaving the dot behind. many years later, the rnib in 
britain, sold a pocket frame, which not only had rows of these cells, 
but also had two slots, on each side. through these slots one can 
pass a narrow tape. the slots puts the tape beneath one  of the rows 
of cells. there are in fack two sets of slots, for different width of 
tape. it is one of the devices that i am using. i have marked some 
memory discs, but some of them have nowhere  to write, or only a 
small space. i like to put a number followed by the capacity of the 
memory stick. i should have thought that the foundation for the blind 
in america would have had these pocket frames. i am only guessing 
what the organisation your side of the water would be called. good luck brian.

re the new victor stream

2014-01-12 Thread brian parker
Hi, you will have gathered that i have just received my new victor. 
this is about recharging the battery. in the old days, one had to let 
a rechargeable battery run all the  way down before recharging it. 
otherwise, it  would lose some of its charge. so, what about these 
modern batteries. does one hav to wait to let the battery  run all 
the way down, or can one charge up the battery, let us say, when 
there is still ten per cent of the battery left. brian.

re audible books for dane

2013-12-19 Thread brian parker
Hi dane, thanks for your message. my computer crashed a few days ago, 
and it had to be brought back with the recovery disc. this meant that 
i lost several programmes. i had been using sound taxi to convert 
audible files in to mp3. sound taxi uses itunes. itunes was one of 
the programmes i had to reinstall. sound taxi can't use the itunes i 
now have loaded. now when i call up itunes, it says that it can't 
reach the itunes library, as it was created by a newer version of 
itunes. presumably, it means a newer version than the one i have now 
installed. why the library from the previous version of itunes is 
still hanging about, i don't know. well, there it is. i have sent a 
message to audible. the first message i sent they answered quickly. 
they asked  me a number of questions, which i answered in my second 
message. they also suggested that we might find it quicker to gets 
things  right, by phone. however, when i have spoken to audible in 
the past, i have found them difficult to understand, especially as 
the person at the other end is always to quiet. i don't know what to 
do. i wondered if there is some way of destroying the library from 
the previous version of itunes. perhaps then it would look for its 
own library. brian.
