RE: Memory cards for the old PTRs

How do you use yours? Do you still have a card floting around that works? Or is there still some luck in getting 1 that will? -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Vicky Vaughan Sent: Monday, September 12, 2016 6:42 PM To: PC Audio

Hi, I still use my PTR1 all the time, but it is a bit battered and the push button that releases the flash card in its adapter has broken off. If we could come to terms, I'd gladly buy yours. This is Vicky Vaughan and my email is vrvaug...@mailzone.com and my phone is: 412 600 4379 if you wish

RE: Memory cards for the old PTRs

Ah what did you not like about the PTR1? I was really looking for cards in 2011 for a PTR2 I was hoping to get from a friend but sadly he couldn't find it. Yeah the 2 is better in that it can use Stereo mikes. So had Justin been able to give me his and had I a card that it liked I'd be using my

Re: Memory cards for the old PTRs

Hi! I got a ptr1 from a friend in 2007 and used it a couple of times but find it wasn’t so good. So its just a dust collector for me too. I record sometimes with my Iphone and thats ok for voice recording at least. I wish i had money to buy a better player but there are so many things i want. /A

Hi! True Dane. Although i read a lot of daisy books because i simply don’t want to read e-books with a tts. But there are some daisy players out there. The stream 2 is good but it has some flaws to overcome which i really hope they will fix soon. /A > On 11 Sep 2016, at 17:38, Dane Trethowan

Thanks Mary, that's encouraging. I think I'll go see if the official IOS 10 is available. The IOS release usually appears here in the UK around 6pm. Mind you, there are bound to be at least a few Voice Over bugs and it can be frustrating when they take months to fix. John -Original

Re: Apple Music Challenges Spotify with Playlists

Hi John, Apple Music is definitely better in iOS 10. When you try it, I would be curious how you compare it with Spotify, since that is a service I was considering until I put the beta on my iPhone and started saying how much better Apple Music suggestions were for me. They have playlists the

Well, because of price issues, I think if you don't need advanced options the milestone seems great and should be a bit cheaper than the rest. A pity they don't cell it here. But in the US irti do cell them. They seem smaller and seem very stable. They have a little more flexibility than the other
