Hi Terry, I use ABC to manage my torrent downloads. It's very blind-friendly. I don't have a web site for you, but you can Google it, search for ABC torrent, and that should bring it up. Hope that helps, Laz ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives

WinAmp and balance

Hello Listers, I've noticed that when I use WinAmp to play one of my MP3s, that the balance seems to be primarily in the left channel, meaning that the majority of the sound is coming from the left channel and very little from the right. I then have to open up the volume control and put the

Re: zenstone versus the ipod

Well, I can say that I've tried the Zen Stone, which was a screenless one; I've tried Rockbox on a Sansa; and I've tried a 4th generation iPod Nano. IN the past, I had also tried a Samsung Pebble and a chinese-made mp3 player, both of which were screenless. I have to say that the Rockboxed Sansa

Re: ZenStone Question

Hi Vicki, When you delete files from the player, use the shift plus delete key combination instead of just pressing the delete key. If you just use the delete key, it sends it to a recycle bin on your player, which can't be seen when you look for it, and you'll have all those deleted files

Hi Joanne, The guides are right on the player itself. The Quick-Start Guide is in text format, so you can open it up with Notepad or any word processor. The Rockbox Manual is in PDF and one needs Adobe Reader to view it. Don't forget that you also get free tech support for any questions or

Hi Casey, Glenna ordered the Fuze. The way to get it to speak right out of the box is to plug the earphones in and turn it on. If it doesn't speak after about 5 or so seconds, it most likely just needs a reset, which is accomplished by holding the power button in the on position for 15 seconds

It's the Rockbox manual for that particular model. A lot of people find the Rockbox manual to be not so blind friendly as you stated. It's fine also if you can muddle your way through the geek-speak, which again, there are some people who would have a hard time getting through. This is one of

Re: Are any apple MP 3 players blind accessible?

I think I've heard that you can copy and paste, but you have to go through iTunes to do it. When I had a 4th-gen Nano for a short period of time, I looke through iTunes to see if I could just copy and paste some files onto the player, and had no luck in finding out how to do it. I have heard on

Re: bit rate and sample rate

The sampling rate doesn't make a difference in the size of the file, so there shouldn't be any consideration to go below 44. I've seen a lot of files encoded at 22 because the person thought it would halve the file size, but that's only an old wives tale. Try it yourself and see if it makes any

Excuse me John, but he's talking about a 16-GB Nano. It's not supported by Rockbox and to turn the speech on, I believe you need to use iTunes whether it's a 4th or 5th gen Nano. He said he just won it, and I suspect it's at least a 4th gen Nano. Rockbox only supports some very early models of
