Oh what a con this sounds like! I really hate it when companies do this, 
market a product that's claimed to be the first of its kind, only to be 
let down by stupid gimmiks and worst of all no way to get a refund. How 
disgusting! Think I will stick with my iPhone and Pc/Mac for playing music.

Hello,

You may have heard about an MP 3 player called Tiny Tunes.  It claims to have 
an excellent TTS engine which will speak menu choices, folder names and titles. 
 It is supposed to read textfiles, making it suitable for reading books.  It 
has an FM radio.

I was not able to hear even one FM station.  I checked with a friend who just 
received his unit, and he could not hear any signals!

The speech is about the worst I've in my 30 years of using computers.

Both navigation and responses are at best uncertain.   After one places a few 
MP 3 folders on the device, it quits responding, running the batteries down.

It's easy to get it work again.  Just remove the folders.

It's available from the Braille Super Store.  I suggest that you go to that 
site and search for the company's product return policy.  Among the horrors 
you'll find in it is that no producted is warranted.  One can never get money 
back in the event that a product is defective.

I'm quite disappointed that such a product exists.  I strongly suggest that you 
should consider not ordering it.

I dislike writing negative comments.  I do so now only because I don't want 
people to buy this device with no good recourse in the likely event that this 
product will not meet your expectations.

Hi
I don't seem to be able to unsubscribe from this group.  Could the list 
owner do this for me.
I cannot remember if I am registered with bishopmar...@gmail.com or

Neither of these seem to be working for me.

Hello everyone, I have decided to give Sound Forge a go.  However, I was
wondering if there is a list of hotkeys used in Sound Forge that I can look
at?  Thank you.

Re: the tiny tunes player

2012-12-18 Thread Laz Mesa
I tried to warn folks about this player months ago by responding to
any emails that I saw regarding this con.  There were many
exaggerations and misrepresentations in these emails and even on their
site itself.  IN fact, if you go to their site today, you'll see that
they claim 70 hours of battery life!  i think most of us know that
this is a wild exaggeration to say the least.  they also still claim
that it's the only MP3 player which you don't have to look at the
screen to use, it's the first MP3 player that talks, etc.

I feel sorry for all of those who fell for this con job.  All I can
say is that I tried to shed some light on it months ago.  I'm not even
going to try to promote my own Talking MP3 Players in this message,
just that i feel very sorry for those who got ripped off.

Happy holidays everyone!
