Re: free VPN
Yep you can set up a VPN but there's very little point in doing that if you don't have a VPN provider. That's where services like Witopia are dead handy because they provide you with the server so you can set your VPN up but - even better than that - you don't have to know a single thing about setting up VPN networks to use Witopia, just install the client. This last method would be of particular interest to Windows users as - in Windows - you cannot set up a secure VPN Network with protocols such as IPSEC so the client is dead handy that way.

Re: appleTV to RCA (composite)
Only my way of thinking of course but it does sound to me like very unecessary and time wasting work doing something like this and I say that with a variety of reasons in mind. Yes, I do udnerstand that many of us are cash strapped - thought I'd point that out before those who can't read eMail waste more band width smile - but when all is said and done you're probably going to throw more good money after bad. Secondly, the picture quality of composet is nothing like that of even S-Video and certainly nothing like the quality of HDMI, that's not an Issue I myself am worried about however for those who want to watch videos from your Apple TV? Well they're going to be incredibly disappointed. Next is the fact that HDMI does far more than send video to a TV, HDMI is a digital link which is interactive so I'm not at all surprised that some people may have had problems getting converter boxes working with an Apple TV particuarly when it comes to Voiceover. Given that HDMI TV'S are literally being given away these days I'm sure it wouldn't take you all that long to find one and of course we're not talking about the latest TV'S either. I have a Samsung 19 inch model here which - whilst isn't a 4K ultra HDTV - does a very good job I'm told by those who watch it, I'm planning on getting something bigger in the future but its not a priority for obvious reasons and - even suppose I did get something bigger - where would i put it? The 19 inch Samsung sits very nicely thanks in my cabinet. When I first got that TV I didn't have my Donon HDMI Receiver so I ran a HDMI lead from the Apple TV to the Samsung Television and then ran an Optical Digital link from the TV to the Yamaha Receiver which I was using at the time so both picture and sound quality were more than reasonable doing things this way, just some points for you to ponder.

Re: free VPN question
a VPn ins a Virtual Private Network, in other words a virtual tunnel on the Internet between your computer ahd the other computer, VPN'S are commonly used in those situations where sensitive data is exchanged between point A and point B, vinancial transactions and the like - someone I know who works from home as a Finance Manager uses a VPN from his home to contact and do his work for example -. This means obviously that you can use a VPN to have your computer simulate another in a place far from where you are, you can establish a VPN between you and a VPN server in Longbeach California thus when you play a stream originating from Longbeach California which may have geoblocking restrictions in place which will be ignored given that the streamer thinks you're in Longbeach. Having said all that however one needs to put some thought into the type of VPN used, there are protocols in use which are more secure than others, some VPN services offer unlimited VPN plans whilst others do not, I explained some of this in my initial response to the original eMail in this thread.

Re: free VPN question
It's a complete shot in the dark, and may not even work for streaming radio type materials, but, have you also taken a look at the hola service. It seems to be especially useful for watching things like hulu and netflix from other countries. I currently know some folks in Canada who are using it to get access to the Netflixs we get here in the states. Like I said, not sure what exactly it covers and what it doesn't, but the folks who use it, love it. https://hola.org/ Take care and blessings.

Re: Follow-up: Free CD Ripping Software
Okay, I've been playing with Windows Media Player for the last half hour or so and I'm using NVDA on the Windows Desktop computer here, I'm running Windows media Player 12 with Windows 7 Home Premium. Yes, the software is certainly accessible though finding your way around Winodws Media player could be a little challenging at times I admit, the trick is to think outside the square, in other words don't assume that everything you want is in the menu bar because it isn't, you can make things a little easier by changing some of the options in the view menu. Anyway to get back to the specific topic of Ripping CD'S with WMP, this link may be of some use. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/rip-music-faq#1TC=windows-7 On 3/11/2014 3:42 AM, Tom Kaufman wrote: Well that was my experience (Windows Media 12 does seem to work differently than Windows Media 11 (doesn't seem as cut and dry as 11 waas!

Re: Follow-up: Free CD Ripping Software
Okay, I've just thought of another free CD Ripping solution and I'm surprised its taken me this long to mention VLC as that's my favourite media player. I've not given the Ripper feature any thought up till now but - given that VLC is fully accessible - I can't see any reason why the Ripping function wouldn't work, follow the link below for instructions. http://www.aimersoft.com/rip-dvd/vlc-rip-cd.html On 3/11/2014 3:42 AM, Tom Kaufman wrote: Well that was my experience (Windows Media 12 does seem to work differently than Windows Media 11 (doesn't seem as cut and dry as 11 waas!

Answering calls on the mac.
Hi! I have found that you can not use a bluetooth headset or a headset like the logitech h800 with its own transmitter when taking calls on the mac. You have to use the built-in microphone or the mic input and headphones input on your mac to make it work properly. /A
Re: Victor Reader Stream
I don't know of any portable players that support flac files personally. Not all M3U or PLS files will work on the Bookports or Plextalk machines, so it it a matter of trial and error! -Original Message- From: Kelly Pierce Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2014 2:43 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Victor Reader Stream to be clear, the BPP portable unit times out on streams that do not play. It seems the unit described was the desktop version. While the BPP has no list of stations like the new generation Stream, one can go to Shoutcast and TuneIn and download M3u or PLS files of the streams and copy them to the unit. Many say the recorder on the BPP is clearly superior to the one on the new generation Stream. Dane is insistent though that he must have support for FLAC files.

Re: Answering calls on the mac.
Its an issue I never investigated to be honest because I have other ways of answering calls on the Mac than using the controls on that headset which are rather hard to press, I assigned various keyboard shortcuts on the Mac to answer calls in Skype for example, its usual that - if I’m taking calls on the computer that I’m usually sitting in front of the keyboard and thus the freedom of the H800 headset will then allow me to move about -. As I’ve said before, the H800 isn’t a bad headset but in many ways it has a lot to be desired, build quality being one of those. I’ve got some time so I’ll look up the headset in Google to see if there are any other stuff about controls. On 3 Nov 2014, at 9:15 am, Anders Holmberg and...@pipkrokodil.se wrote: Hi!

Okay, I've been up on the Logitech Support page for the h800 wireless headset and there are a couple of downloads for the Mac which may help you, one of which is a Bluetooth Pairing utility which may enable you to use the Anser button?

Hi! The link below takes you to the page of the DJ software I use for IOS, I've mentioned BossJock Studio here at different times. If you have an IOS device and you want to do DJ work, set up live streams on the Internet or just want a super and flexible recorder then its really worth having a look at this App, given that the App - as I remember it - is under $10 its certainly wroth the investment, far better than paying hundreds for them other Apps smile. http://bossjockstudio.com/

Alternative Broadcasting Software to Station Playlist
Hep, subject line says everything and this may be round the corner. I wanted to forward the original eMail on this subject to the list however the author of same - as it stands - hasn't given me permission to do so as yet and I respect that. It is hoped that the product will be available with full accessibility soon, the developers are actually using JAWS to test their product to see just how accessible they can make it. The other good news will be the price, instead of $499 that you pay for the full Station Playlist suite you'll only need to pay $199 for the laternative. Those who are helping the programmers are professional DJ'S and Broadcasters in their own right having worked in the field for longer than 10 years so they know their stuff. I hope to be able to bring the list good tidings in the next couple of weeks though someone else may beat me to it by forwarding a press release smile.

Re: Alternative Broadcasting Software to Station Playlist
I'm not a programmer myself so can't comment but - last I heard - SAM Broadcaster couldn't be made accessible due to the programming language it was written in. I did myself use SAM Broadcaster for quite a hwile - even at that time - it did require some skill at mouse manipulation but Window-Eyes at least did have most of the tools for that.

RE: Alternative Broadcasting Software to Station Playlist

RE: Alternative Broadcasting Software to Station Playlist
Hi, SAM Encoders: major screen readers have scripts for it (I'm responsible for one of them). As for it becoming accessible, I don't think so. As for the new kid on the block, I sent a message to developers to see if NVDA users and devs can assist them with compatibility and testing. Based on some testing, it appears both SPL and the new kid is written in Delphi and uses slightly more accessible GUI framework (TDK to be exact), although certain fields doesn't have any labels at all (the new guy does need scripting in the end).

Hi Brian and all, I'm testing the latest version of the new kid and it does require scripting to some extent. It is written in Delphi and uses TDK GUI framework. At this point, there's no indication as to whether the mic is on or off, some fields are not labeled, important functions don't have hotkeys and so on.

I did myself use SAM Broadcaster for quite a hwile - even at that time - it did require some skill at mouse manipulation but Window-Eyes at least did have most of the tools for that.

I wanted to forward the original eMail on this subject to the list however the author of same - as it stands - hasn't given me permission to do so as yet and I respect that. It is hoped that the product will be available with full accessibility soon, the developers are actually using JAWS to test their product to see just how accessible they can make it. The other good news will be the price, instead of $499 that you pay for the full Station Playlist suite you'll only need to pay $199 for the laternative. Those who are helping the programmers are professional DJ'S and Broadcasters in their own right having worked in the field for longer than 10 years so they know their stuff. I hope to be able to bring the list good tidings in the next couple of weeks though someone else may beat me to it by forwarding a press release smile.
