Re: DVD plus or minus, MP3 question

[Les Gordon]

hello, you should check to see what there drive supports first. most drives 
support both + and -.  if it does then it doesnt matter what you choose.

Subject: DVD plus or minus, MP3 question



This is not about movies, just MP3s.
My DVD drive is compatible for both plus and minus formats. I want to make 
a surprise gift for a friend of MP3 files on a DVD disc.

When purchasing, I have to choose between the plus or minus format.
My question, do I need to know if the person has plus or minus on there 
PC, or does it matter with mp3s. I am trying to resolve any compatibility 
issues, thank you.

Re: Difference between cds for recording music and cds for recordingdata

[Les Gordon]

hello, there are 2 types of blank cd-r. 1. cdr-da. or music cd-rs. these are 
for consumer based recorders,  there is no difference in quality. only 
price. all professional cd recorders should take the data type of cd-rs and 
you can use them for both music and data recording.
the consumer recorders like philips, sony makes one, are not worth buying. 
because you are stuck using the consumer  cd-r da. cdrs only. a data type of 
cd won't work in those recorders.

2 good brands that are used for music are taiyo yuden and mitsui.

hope this helps. les

these tyopes of discs are used for recorders that require music cd's. this
is how the ptr-2 knows how to set itself up for the proper recording you
want to do with it. if you were to put a data cd in the ptr-2 you could burn
mp3 files on to it for playback on a machine that plays mp3 files.

Hi to all

What exactly is the difference between blank cds that you record music 
onto

and blank cds you use for recording data on?

The reason I ask this is because when I got my plextalk ptr2 a few months
ago, I received a blank cd with it which according to the manual is
specifically meant for burning audio cds.  So what is the difference and 
is

it really worth concerning yourself about it?

Thanks all for the information. I personally didn't interpret do not
decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Audible Content as
prohibiting me from converting the media format. Maybe if it had said
electronic content instead of audible content I might have interpreted
it differently. After all, you are allowed to download it, stream it and
write it to CD for your own personal use. Granted, I might have read
this with a pair of rose colored glasses on.

I guess my main point was two fold. First, I saw quite a few sites which
claimed that their product was a legal way to convert Audible files into
other formats and other sites which talked about what was and wasn't
legal given Audible's terms and conditions, the DMAC, fair use and court
cases, which lead me to believe that it isn't clear what is and isn't
legal in this case.

Second, as others have stated on this list, I doubt any company or law
enforcement agency would prosecute anyone who was making copies for
their own personal use and was scrupulous about making sure those copies
didn't end up in anyone else's hands. Note that I also feel it's clear
that sharing these files, even with a few friends, is illegal, although
maybe not unethical.

This is an intelligent but very literal reading. I don't know about

Word has it that this card will be out some time next year.
If that happens, then I won't need a preamp that has tubes to get that warm

For starters, how will the card with tubes and all fit in to any desktop

And how much will it cost?

Hi John,

Thanks for the advice. I must admit that I discarded the Sound blaster
cards in advance. I suppose the digital connections will be ok, since a bit
is a bit. However, their d/a-converters don't have a very good reputation
with me. Maybe they have improved, or maybe I am just prejudiced, but I was
originally going for a more high-end solution. Do Sound blaster actually
make high-end cards, or is is it just gaming and surround stuff, like I
thought it was? Are there any good alternatives?

hello, if you dont use a burning program, you can use windows explorer.
when you insert a blank cd into the drive a list of options will appear. 
click open writable cd folder. then click on the folder name where the files 
are stored. then copy each track. then when you click on write to cd you 
will have options 1. audio cd and 2 data cd. check 1 of those and then hit 
next.
depending on setup windows media player opens and you select start burn. and 
it flies no problem.

Subject: Windows Media Player not recognizing various cd's



Hi folks,

I'm working with both Winamp and Windows Media Player, and though neither 
program is perfect, I'm finding that Winamp seems to Excel a bit when it 
comes to identifying compact discs inserted into the computer. Is this 
based upon the databases accessed by the two applications? Is there a way 
to enhance Windows Media to be more productive in this regard? I use WMP 
to rip discs, and would like it to automatically identify the artist/title 
being ripped. On perhaps a dozen occasions over the past week, Winamp 
correctly labels the album, but WMP cannot do so. I have WMP set to go 
on-line and retrieve additional details. Are there other settings I can 
tweak for closer to ideal results?

scott, certain data bases are alot more effecient and accurate. i used nero 
data base before, but so far i found itunes to be the best. in about 3,000 
cds. maybe 2 or 3 were not found in the data base. song titles and album 
titles are correct.


thanks les

Some quick search engine work has not produced any clear method for adding 
alternate databases to the WMP search. All of my settings in the program 
are already adjusted so that the cd should be automatically identified. 
But simply put, I can open Winamp and nearly every time receive the name 
of the album, not so in WMP.

scott, i am not sure, because i am just sticking to itunes. what you could 
do is download itunes. its free. and then look at the db. setting to see the 
name, then try to cutpaste the db name and place into your other ap. that 
may work.

Do you have advanced controls in the windows mixer?

My older Creative card didn't have that option till I rebuilt my system.
Then all of a sudden, I had tone controls under the advanced button in 
the
mixer.  Before that, I had to mss around with the Creative Surround 
mixer,

locking the Jaws cursor at just the right place and using Jaws mouse up
and
down key strokes to get the tone controls to work.

I hope your X-FI installer put in standard tone controls under advanced
controls in the Windows mixer.

Re: purchasing blank cds

[Les Gordon]

hello,  a few things to consider, you want to use duplication grade cd-rs. 
there higher quality then what stores offer. and also your burner you want 
to check its firmware to make sure you have the latest installed. the 
firmware of the drive and blank media type can make a big difference. 
re-writable cds are more sensative if you get finger prints on those, they 
end up having more problems then regular cds do.


hope some of this helps. thanks les.

hi.
well had good and bad and just shit house with burning cds this week.
now run out of all of them.
will not be getting any cheap and nasty crappy cds.
and will be getting formatted, rewriteable.
was and managed to use windows media player to burn.
then in cd player, the sharp ghetto blaster.
the cd started skipping, jumping, etc.
so out of cds.
so is harvey norman a good place to purchase blank cds.
and what do they cost and what sizes do you get batches of 20, 50s.
got over 800 tracks on my hard drive.
need to burn to cd.
do not want to pay and arm and a leg for a brand new cd ghetto boom box,
when the old one which i have had for about 20 years is still working
perfectly.
do not want to go to an ipod.
not the most delicate with things.
just plain clumsy me.
and do not want to spend a fortune on getting one with voice over.
so the blank cds is the cheapest option.
and some times the vista burning wizard comes up, and then it does not.
able to create a play list, add to the play list then burn.
so what should i pay.
any specific brands.
Marvin.

Are there any sound cards left out there that one can actually control?  I
really think we need to boycott Creative as their no good foreign tech
support has been worse than useless.  There is no answer at the corporate
office so I am unable to lodge a complaint anywhere that anyone will

to.  This company should dry up and die.  Go back to Singapore and croke!

Re: Workable alternatives to Creative

[Les Gordon]

hello, one thing you can also check creative's website to see if they have 
demo software that you can download to try.
that might be a option for you. i am not using any scripts, or any special 
work arounds. and i am able to access creative's software and eq settings. 
but i got the software with my card. its the xfi series but i got the one 
thats around $199 it gives you the extra front stereo inputs and volume 
level  menu buttons to select options.


also usually a sound card is set to its default settings, but one thing you 
can do is if your using itunes there eq is very accessible, i use itunes, 
and i created various eq settings for different applications, and the music 
coming through itunes sounds absolutely amazing. i am very picky with my 
sound too.

It is certainly conceivable that you don't care about the sound coming out

expect that I will be able to access what I paid for.  Clearly you don't
have an answer to contribute and that's ok.  Equaly clearly you haven't 
been

reading this thread because I'm not the only one who has been having

that
we need access to what we pay for just as our seeing counterparts do.  It 
is
my obligation and my right to warn people against making the mistakes that 
I

Now I notice that happy as you are with this card, you have made no effort
to discuss whatever workarounds you may have established, which leads me 
to
believe that you are just using the card in its flat default response. 
This
is your privilege, but I want at least the ability to get some treble out 
of
the high end.  Since this appears to be too much to ask, I am now asking 
for
alternatives and chosing to walk away from this company, which I find to

entirely unresponsive.

dave, i think your behavior towards this company is not  outstanding just
because you have trouble with a product doesnt mean others have problems
with their products, doesn't?
I for one have had really good luck with the creative tech support when
asking questions
they have been able to point out things to me.
they do listen to blind people.
SOmetimes.
you have to wonder weather or not blind people really just want to be
sighted.
if you do ot like the x-fi card you have you can always go for something
else but for blind people I belive if that a product works for them then
leave  the company alone.
I have been using creative products all  the time and have had no troubles
configuring them.
We do not need to boycot the company. just because you say we should. do 
we?

are you an athority of sound cards, or the one that tells  everyone to do
what and when? just wondering.
if script writers would take a look at the cards interface, and ask the
right questions maybe just maybe a person could script the cards.

i use itunes all the time, and they have a eq. where they give you pre-sets, 
but they also have the ability to create your own custom settings and save 
them. along with my creative sound card and itunes, i have 2 small stereo

Re: Another sound card question

[Les Gordon]

hello, most likely the reason why there might not be tone controlls on alot 
of soundcards is because in whatever media player you use to play music they 
give you eq's. i use itunes and its very accessible. and its completely 
free. i am getting absolutely killer sound from using itunes. because there 
eq gives you pre-sets and also you can create your own personal settings and 
save them as defaults. very simple and easy to use.

Hello,
Appologies if this has already been covered in this thread.  Open the
Windows Volume Control and press the alt keyto get to the options menu.
Arrow down past the properties dialog and you'll hit the advanced
controls
checkbox.  Make sure this is checked.  Depending on the card you'll
either
get tone controls or the ability to boost your mic gain by 10db.  It
varies with the card and I have come across both.  HTH.

Re: a question about joint stereo and normal stereo

[Les Gordon]

something doesnt seem right there because you can control in the software 
the type of bitrates, and stereo types. and once those are saved then they 
dont change. i am using itunes. and all my settings are saved perminently.

The problem I'm having is that my system won't produce regular stereo.
Everything comes out in joint and variable bit rate regardless of software
settings.  It's Winamp which I'm using to tell me what my stats on a
particular file happen to be.  Any thoughts?
Thanks.

My understanding is that joint stereo is a psychoacoustic trick to try and
make lower bit rate encoded files sound better in terms of their channel
separation.  I don't believe the monoblock analogy is strictly correct.  All
the advice I have seen is to use normal stereo for decent encoded files at
bit rates of 192kbps and higher and only use the joint stereo psychoacoustic
trick on very poor files encoded at lower bit rates.

High George,
Joint stereo is, like you have a pare of speakers, but you have a mono block
amplifier on each one.
Regular stereo, is having those same pare of speakers hooked up to a stereo
amplifier.
The joint stereo, gives better stereo channel separation then the regular
stereo.
Hope this helps.
 John.

Hi all!
I have a question which is making me curious. when I'm converting wave to
mp3 in a convertion program or so, I can see something called joint stereo,
and I can also choose if I would like to have it in joint stereo or just
stereo.
my question is, what's the difference between joint stereo and stereo, I
can't seem to hear any difference at all there.

hi, you might want to check to see that settings are saved. it sounds like 
the program is defaulting to a specific setting.
once you select normal stereo and save that setting, it should stay 
selected.

High Garry,
Have you tried using another audio file converter?
I use Switch to convert audio files from one format to another.
Mostly, I convert them to MP3's so that I can put them on my cell phone.
I have it sat to normal stereo and constant bit rate for highest quality
sound.
This is just a suggestion that I thought mite help you solve your problem.
My best regards.

Subject: digital multi track recording



Hello everyone,

I sent a message earlier today about a concept for a multi track
recorder with speech.  It would be a stand alone unit, similar to a Tascam
2488, Korg D3200, etc.  For every button you push, or menu for editing you
move to, it would always speak, to let you know where you are.  I've
contacted Tascam, let them know my idea, they're interested, but wonder 
how

many blind people would buy one.  A stand alone unit would be more stable
than a Mac or PC based software set up, and much less costly.  I'd like to
compile a list of all interested individuals.  If I can show Tascam, or
Korg, or Yamaha, that such an item would have marketability, development 
may

take place.  I mentioned Victor Stream and Book Sense and Olympus as
examples.  The technology exists, it's just a matter of putting it in one
unit.  We just need to convince the right manufacturer that speech added 
to
a multi track recorder is worth their time producing one.  I would also 
like
to propose this idea to other blind community users groups.  The more 
blind

individuals alerted to this idea, the more I can show manufacturers that
this will sell.  johnnyru...@windstream.net

digital multi track recorder

[Les Gordon]

one thing i was thinking, having a voice on a multitrack recorder i wouldnt 
think would be that difficult because it could be a chip. and tascam could have 
a option to turn it on or off. then the recorder could be used by anyone. they 
wouldnt have to worry about having a model that is for the blind only. it could 
be incorperated into a standard version or model. 

hopefully the companies will address this. whoever does they will sell a ton of 
them.

John,

I have two Windows XP computers using the Audiophile 24/96 card from
M-Audio.  No, Jaws scripts are not needed to use them successfully and
fully accessibly.  The manual is not well written and I needed to read
it five times or so very thoroughly before I fully understood what I
needed.  I also had a sighted person describe the interface on three
different times before I got the hang of it.  I say all of this
because I am used to reading manuals all the time and figuring
products out.  I also am highly comfortable picking through legal
statutes and regulations and analyzing them.  Somehow the Audiophile
24/96 documentation was different.  The biggest concept I faced is
that recording uses one interface configuration and optimal playing of
sound uses another interface configuration.  Additionally, the card is
adjusted on the fourth device slot rather than the first, which threw
me for a loop at first.

I have been extremely pleased with this card and find it delivers far
superior sound compared to one of the Creative cards, which I had with
my first couple of computers.

I'm thinking about the Audio Phial-2496 because I'm getting 2 for the 
price of 1.

I get RCA inputs and outputs.
And plus, I get a mixer that is integrated in to the control panel.
Most everyday sound cards don't have that.
And plus, I get a very big brake from the norm.
My music and movies will sound a whole lot better then they do with my 
odyssey 4 series sound card made by Creative Labs.

Also, my recordings will sound a whole lot better too as well.
The only drawback is, there are no mike in jacks, so you'll need a preamp 
for your mike.

This software won't record the files, you need a tv tuner to record the

   Hello, I just looked on BlindCoolTech, and Neal said with his 
review that the accessibility is awful, but that the monitor mode for 
recording makes it a little better. That's from the text descriptions 
under the podcast title, and so you'd need to listen to his recordings to 
hear more about it.

Hi,
Based on its description, you should be better of getting Zoom H1 unit
regarding recording quality and its menuless operation.
You would be able to get a great deal for Zoom H2 at any time since it is
rather old technology nowadays.
Best,

Does anyone else have one of these wonderful devices and if so do you 
have the AC power adapter for same?


I'm curious, where does the adapter plug in? We cannot get them out here 
in Australia so I'm going to have to find a substitute somehow.


Does anyone know what voltage the thing is?

   Hello again. I use CDEX for this purpose, and I think that was the 
program we used when I was on the phone with you. You'll run into the 
same problem that you had before, if it won't recognize the cd info. It 
will make a folder called no artist, with a folder called no title inside 
of it, if you set it up this way. Then you'll need to rename the folders, 
but the ID3 tags won't be filled in properly, though you could tab 
through and fill in the artist and title info before you hit f9 to 
extract into mp3. F8 extracts to .wav, by the way.. If you take the time 
to do the filling in of the info before extracting, then the folders that 
are created will be relevant.

CDex, and since I'm not an audifile, I just found it easy to use WMP,
since it was already sitting their on my hardrive. I'm not trying to
criticize CDex, but rather just pointing out another alternative.

Re: putting cds on a hard drive

[Les Gordon]

hi, i agree about itunes, theres parts of it thats not accessible that well. 
but to rip or import cds into a hd it works perfect for that. i have no 
problems. flac is great of course, and yes lossless quality, but not as 
compatable with blu-ray players for playback, wave format is much more 
compatable between players  computers. thats why i went with putting my 
music in wave format.

Hi,

Why not use a program that will rip in flac?  It's a lossless codec, and 
is about half the size of a wave file.


Itunes is a huge bloated piece of crap!  The only benefit is, if you want 
to buy their music.


I don't know if exact audio copy will handle flac, but I'd not be 
surprised if it did.  It's most likely the best for ripping cds, because 
of it's exacting standards.


One more note, not all mp3 encoders are created equil.  I don't know, but 
would suspect that, Apple does not use lame.  However, I have no evidence 
either way.


The nice thing is, once can convert from flac to wave and from wave to 
flac and no loss will happen.

Re: Playing Bluray discs

[Les Gordon]

hello, great, thanks for your message about your laptop. also, you may want 
to check out certain sony blu ray player models, sony blu ray boots way 
faster then other brands, some low cost blu ray players are super slow and 
take forever to boot. but the better quality ones boot fast. thanks les

Subject: Playing Bluray discs



Hi!

I now have a number of these in my collection, not many but I'm in no 
doubt that the Not Many total will expand to something like Quite A 
Few in the not to distant future.


There's nothing worse than having a small Bluray collection and no player 
to play them on so I started shopping.


I tried one of the cheap Samsung players, seemed to work well however I 
had to wait! quite lengthy periods for the machine to Boot.


A friend of mine suggested what should have been very obvious at the start 
of this exercise, I had a HP Entertainment PC which just happens to 
feature a Bluray capable drive so why not play the movies on that?


as it happens the machine can be hooked up easily to my surround-sound via 
the use of a HDMI cable from the HDMI port of the PC to a HDMI port on my 
surround-sound receiver so I get all the great benefits of Bluray High 
Definition surround-sound audio as well as the video, well I don't 
directly benefit from the video but I'm sure you get my drift.


anyone once plugged in and set up I was pleasantly surprised, computer 
handles the discs far faster than does the Samsung, I'm so disgusted with 
the Samsung to be honest that I'll be taking the player back from where I 
bought it from and that's something I very rararely do.  Perhaps the 
$800.00 Samsung player would have been faster though at $800.00? Well 
that's nearly what I paid for this HP Entertainment PC, I've pasted the 
specs as follows for your interest.

snip
product name: DV6-2119tx
product number: wf606pa
Processor: 1.6ghz Core I7 720QM (6mb cache).
memory: 4gb (Max 4gb).
Graphics: nvidia gt230m (1gb dedicated ram).
display: 15.6in (1366x768).
hard drive: 640gb (5400rpm).
Optical drive: Blueray RW+dvd Super Multi.
modem: 56kbps fax/modem.
Network: 10/100/1000mbps.
Wireless: 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1.
Sound: SRS Premium Sound (Altec Lansing speakers).
Built inn digital tv tuner.
keyboard/trackpad: standard keyboard plus numeric keypad, multitouch 
trackpad.
slots: pc card (expresscard 54/34) integrated card reader 
(sd/mmc/ms/mspro/xd).
ports: 4 usb 2.0 (1 shared with ESata), VGA, HDMI, IEEE1394 (firewire), 
RJ11 (network)/rj45

(modem), 2 headphone out, microphone in, consumer ir, digital antenna.
operating system: windows 7 Home premium 32 bit.
Also includes Targus premium leather carry case
snip

Now obviously that was a second-hand bargain I got myself for a grand, 
talk about give away smile.


I chose this model because it had the built-in video tuner which works a 
treat with Windows Media Centre, I purchased a Windows 7 64-bit upgrade 
kit for an additional $30.00.


This model is around 12 months old and the later models lack some features 
such as the video tuner, fax modem etc which made this machine even more 
attractive still, only real problem with it is the battery life which is 
very small and yep! the later models of HP have this problem dealt with 
but I figured that as I'm usually near a power outlet then battery life 
wouldn't worry me all that much and in any case, if I wanted portable 
power I had plenty of other things to do the job here like the Asus EEEPC 
Netbook etc.

Re: Burning Cds Troubles!

[Les Gordon]

hello, your pushing the limit when you use 702mb of space for a cd. the 
space on a cd can vary by just a little, also the leadout takes up space 
too. you could try a restart, but the safest point would be keeping it to 
700mb at the most. if you have specific software you might be able to 
overburn the cds but thats not stable either.
if restart doesnt fix the problem try a different software package to burn. 
i burn copy and edit cds and dvds for my work everyday, so i can help you 
resolve your problem.

Hi.
tried to burn a cd using express burn and windows explorer.
but cannot burn.
i have a cd-r, not formatted, 702 mb disk.
and when i try to burn in express burn, says it is trying to write 707 mb, 
when i have 702 mb, just checked.

now, windows explorer is having a fit.
not liking to burn.
saying there is not enough space.
and all my cds are 702, and have had no problems burning up until now.
would a shutdown and restart, fix this problem.
this is pissing me off real bad.
tried four or five or nine times.
was able to burn the last cd, but had two tracks, by the same artist.
and do not like to have the same artist, more then once.
on the cd.
so help me out.
i could try it in windows media player, but a more complex process to 
burn.

please help me out.
this is giving me a headache.
Marvin.

ps: i have a sony dvd-rom burner, that i purchased about three months ago.
and it works fine.
have been able to burn cds, in the past, and one earlier today but now, it 
is not letting me burn cds.
did try deleting about four or five tracks, but did not make any 
difference.

so are the cds stuffed?
throw them out and purchase a whole lot of other blank cds, and maybe 800 
mb.

Re: Extreme highs and lows on a CD?

[Les Gordon]

you could import the files into itunes, then download a program that would 
normalize the audio tracks, theres a program i think called mp3norm, it will 
normalize all mp3 files to level out highs and lows so things play smoother.

Hi!

I don't know whether this would be of any use but I have several multi
channel DTS CD'S here, if this Bose system has a DVD as part of it or 
can
connect a DVD through a digital in then you'll be able to make use of 
these

DTS recorded CD'S.

I can sedn 1 to you using Dropbox though you'll need some CD ripping
software at the other end - in other words on your computer - to burn the
CD, I recommend Exact Audio Copy or Easy CD DA extractor.

So once you pop this CD into a DVD player - most are equipped with DTS
decoders - you'll be able to enjoy the CD in multi channel audio,
surround-sound, call it what you will.

So if this helps the person concerned then please email me privately and
we'll see what can be done.

I stress, these CD'S don't work on a standard CD player, all you'l lget is
white noise.

First question is can 5.1 surround sound be played via an MP3 file?
Also, I'm looking for a very rich audio file to play for someone to
demonstrate the surround sound features of my Bose system.  It came with 
a

DVD with some good audio on it, but it's not very blind-friendly.
I'd like suggestions of either a classical music recording, nature
recording, or anything else that really accentuates surround sound.

One I'vde found great is DBPoweramp - it does batch ripping from three or 
four drives at once if you have them on your PC, it applies different 
filters as it rips e.g. trimming silence normalising and using all the 
processors at once when ripping. It also is an audio converter and does 
so in batch. It compares tracks with 4 lookup lists to get accurate 
titling. I like it.

you
may or may not know, there are a lot of Blu-Rays that are 7.1 channaled. 
Now

some people have said that it's foney, in other words there's no true 7.1

Wouldn't people say something about it? Because then it would really mean

So did they add 2 more tracks I guess it would be for the 2 extra speakers
then? I mean, what I keep hearing on youtube is like I just posted in
response to another E-mail is that these guys just spliced the assignments
that were already there to the 2 other speakers and so it's not true real 
3D

surround sound. You are still hearing what you've always heard in the 5.1
version of Jurrasic Park for instance, just out of 2 more speakers. So
you're saying that's not true then? You are saying that there really are 2
more channals? If so, then Bose had better get on with it and make a 7.1
system chop chop, and I guess I was right then. There really is something 
to

it.

right now i'm running a 9.2 setup. theres front high channels and rear 
center channels then your effect channels. the sound quality is dependent 
upon the dvd. if you want to test a system. the roy orbison dvd called black 
white night is beyond amazing. you hear sounds from every speaker/channel, 
the regular dvd as well as the blu ray is just beyond amazing. if you love 
that type of music thats a must to have.

Whether there are discrete separate channels or merely reassigned 
portions,

it still gives a slightly more immersive sound.

They are now offering 7.2 channels with some receivers.  I think the 
second

speaker in back sits up higher to again give more depth and location
signature.  I haven't heard such a set up to tell though.

Even with my old 5.1 disks, the sound seems fuller even if it's not 
really.

Ah okay then. Cool. I would be using BDs though. I guess the point of what
those guys say is as follows. Let's take Jurrasic Park for an example. We
all know the movie was recorded in 5.1, there fore there are only 5
different files assigned to the 5 different speakers. They didn't really 
add

anything new assignments for the 2 extra, so I guess what they are saying
even with your example is you are hearing the same thing you've always 
heard
out of the 2 side speakers I guess it would be, but now from the back too? 
I
don't know, like I have said, I haven't really experienced this my self. 
My
friend who has a 7.1 system lives too far to just say, let's go over to 
Tims

and see what's true and what's not. But what I'm saying is, I don't know,
maybe I should  consider a 7.1 system if it is true and then I do miss out
on stuff. I don't know. If any of you have heard a 7.1 movie, please let 
me

know either here or off list if it really true, or if it's just marketing
hipe like those guys say.

So did they add 2 more tracks I guess it would be for the 2 extra 
speakers

then? I mean, what I keep hearing on youtube is like I just posted in
response to another E-mail is that these guys just spliced the 
assignments
that were already there to the 2 other speakers and so it's not true 
real 3D
surround sound. You are still hearing what you've always heard in the 
5.1

version of Jurrasic Park for instance, just out of 2 more speakers. So
you're saying that's not true then? You are saying that there really are 
2

more channals? If so, then Bose had better get on with it and make a 7.1
system chop chop, and I guess I was right then. There really is 
something to

it.

Even the companion 5 ones I'm using are just 2 speakers and supposedly 
they

are 5.1. Fake 5.1 is what they are, exaggerated stereo is what it is. Nop,
sorry, you need all the speakers if you want the true experience. So you

probably paid $11 or $1200 for mine,  and the total wattage is 100.  Now
Bose has something called Accustomass receiver.  That's supposed to have
surround sound too.  I heard it once, and I thought it sounded pretty good
for it's size.  It costs $1400.   It has the array in the middle front

speakers in it, I assume, and they said on t their website that the sides
are Gemstone speakers.  I'm not sure what they are.  Beelieve it or not.

Well, to be honest, maybe I'm wrong, but I think that to really
replicate your hearing you would have to do 13.1. In other words,
have high frunts like you do, high sides, and high rears. I mean, you
hear things from above too right? But they would have to figure out
how to pan things vertically straight up or down. Which would also
mean more audio tracks as well. I don't know does this sound right or

Extreme - as a new Router - is not worth considering given what else is 
available and I stick by that view.


Yes, the setup is easy but just because the Airport Extreme has an easy 
setup doesn’t mean its performance is the best.


Actually let the truth be told, all the Asus Wi-Fi Routers I’ve ever 
used also have a very easy setup wizard which will have you up and 
running in around 2 minutes so if Asus has an easy setup wizard then I’m 
willing to bet that other brands do too.


With the Asus Routers you don’t need to download any special utility for 
windows, the minute your computer is connected to your Router the wizard 
will show up if the Router hasn’t already been configured.

Good Question.

Now this is a line of options I haven’t fully explored as I’ve had no real 
need to but the only player I know of that would fit your requirements is 
iTunes which does have those sorts of functions built-in to it.


I’m not saying that iTunes will fit your exacting requirements but I reckon 
its worth the look at least.

Obviously this is only part of the audio experience with an iPhone but a

using the built-in internal Speakerphone.


Ever since I owned my first iPhone 3GS I’ve enjoyed the privilege of 
hearing the quality of that little speaker improve with each model so - in 
that way alone - each successive model of iPhone has been worth upgrading 
to from the previous version.


Apart from that nothing else seems to have changed much in the time since 
I last used an iPhone though I’m still to find out whether the latest 
Bluetooth lossless streaming profiles are supported, if they’re not 
supported at this time then it surely can’t be too long until they are.

Hi.  I certainly did, in fact that was one of the very first things i 
did when setting things up.  So, would you say it's safe to hit that 
erase and sync button? It looks like it's going to remove absolutely 
everything from my phone and I do not want to spend hours and hours 
re-configuring it.

Well, I'm not having any problems with the accessibility of the 
product, all the screens read exactly as they should.  I just don't 
know what effect hitting the erase and sync button will have on my 
iPhone, which I've spent a really long time customizing. I have apps 
put in folders, and I like to have things in a very specific way. The 
accessibility here isn't the issue. Or at least it doesn't seem to be 
that way.

Hi guys


i hope the subject line was clear enough, sometimes I'm horrible at 
that.  Anyways, let me explain a little further.  I had iTunes 
running on my Windows 7 machine for many years, and I was 
successfully able to create a custom ringtone for my iPhone as a 
.m4r file, and sync it to my phone successfully.   So recently, I 
got myself a brand spanking new screamer of a pc running Windows 10 
So I


had some ringtones that I wanted to add to my phone so I installed 
iTunes on it, and authorized it on my pc and did all the usual stuff 
you have to do to get it set up.  I even did a backup of my iTunes 
library just to be safe.


However, when I went to sync these newly made ringtones, I receive a 
message from iTunes that says if i  sync with this iPhone everything 
will be removed, and the only thing I'll have left are these new 
tones. It says that it can only sync with one iTunes library at a 
time.  Or at least, that's how the message sounds to me.  It sounds 
rather ominous.


  I don't want to lose absolutely everything on my phone just to add 
a few ringtones.  That seems rather silly to me.  I know a lot of 
you guys on here use macs, but remember, this is in Windows 10, 
using the most recent version of iTunes, screenreader is Window-eyes 
9.4.0.


Is it safe to hit the remove and sync button, or if I do that, will 
the only thing that's removed are the tones? If all it'll remove is 
my current batch of tones that's ok, but my concern is losing 
everything else such as apps, and music.  I'm a bit lost to tell you 
the truth. I hope someone has experience with this.

Thanks for any help, guys!

Re: Now I know why music on the Apple TV 3rd Gen doesn't sound sogood...

[Les Gordon]

i have a apple tv 3rd gen and 4th gen. what i noticed is the sound quality 
is all dependent upon the original source. they give alot of free radio 
stations that are great, but it tells you the quality of each and some are 
streaming in low quality audio. others are in high quality. i noticed a

Well to be perfectly honest that’s Apple for you and where would you find 
any serious audio reviews about anything Apple?


Okay, I did find plenty of reviews and information regarding the audio for 
my 2012 Mac Mini machine but Apple just won’t release too much information 
about anything else it seems when it comes to audio.


I’m glad you mentioned that about the Apple TV and now I’m having second 
thoughts about that purchase for myself too.

Re: Apple TV 4th Gen

[Les Gordon]

mary, with the new apple tv you can use the hdmi and if connected to a 
surround sound receiver you do not need to have your tv on. you can just 
listen to the audio through the receiver. also the problem with voice over 
cutting out. the software could be corrupted and might need a fresh install 
of software. a full factory reset can sometimes fix those problems. i have 
the apple tv 3rd gen and also 4th gen and never any problems with voiceover 
cutting out.

Hi John,

Your observation about the remote being easy to use is interesting. I
think you are the first one who hasn't encountered a significant
learning curve, especially when it comes  to actually having to type
something in, such as a mixed case alphanumeric password. I'm holding
out for bluetooth keyboard access, which is supposedly coming with the
next major release of tv os, if I can believe what I read in the
mainstream Apple-oriented press.

That deal where voice over cuts out has happened to me with a 2nd
generation apple tv. It happened a lot and only quit happening when we
experimented and connected the apple tv directly to the hdmi in on our
tv, rather than going through an a/v surround receiver or even a sound
bar. When connected directly to the tv, the voiceover cut out problem
completely disappeared. Unfortunately, that also meant the rest of the
sound from the apple tv went to the tv speakers, which are God awful.
Just food for thought. And I have heard others report varying results
with the voiceover cut out problem. Some have it. Others don't. And I
haven't a clue why.

I do have a question. Can you connect the apple tv 4th generation and
use all of its features without actually having a tv in the mix? As an
example, with my 2nd generation product, it was not possible to watch
netflix unless the tv was actually turned on. Netflix would not play.
There may have been others too, but Netflix is the one I specifically
remember. So even though I didn't need the picture, the tv had to be
physically on, not just the surround receiver and speakers.

sometimes apps can be slightly different on various devices or set top

is because of the software that runs the device or box. the app has to be

Interesting. The people I've heard complaining about netflix on set top
boxes don't have issues with it on actual android phones or tablets,
just on the set tops, such as the older google Nexus. So I wonder why
it works on some and not others, especially the nexus brand. There has
been speculation that the app on the set top box is not the same app as
on devices such as nexus 9 tablet, obtained from the playstore. Since I
don't use netflix on my Nexus 6 and don't have an accessible android tv
set top box, I have 0 personal experience in this realm.

Ah yes, hearing frequency’s makes all the difference though it mightn’t be 
obvious at first glance, its those extra frequency information that give 
the music the detail, the depth and the added excitement of the expanded 
sound stage, if this weren’t the case the studios wouldn’t bother making 
master recordings using 192K or above sampling and so on.

I don't knock people for having analogue systems or anything else and
you pretty much summed it up yourself when you talked about people
getting what they could afford to buy and that's fair enough as I'm
in that boat too however I do look around for the good audio and if
it means I have to save and wait? Well so be it and that attitude has
proven its worth beyond question.

Yes an open mind is what's required but all this wasn't really the
point I was trying to make, I was asking the question how best to
describe the audio difference to someone between what you hear
through a DAC and most audio equipment and the difference is certainly 
that of night and day.


You don't need good hearing to distinguish the difference though
certainly you need some decent speakers or some reasonable
headphones, you're not going to notice all that much with your $2
earbuds which a lot of people are perfectly happy with.

Its like MP3 files I guess, they're perfectly acceptable when you're
listening on the bus and so on but you soon notice the difference
when you start listening to music on CD'S and so on through
reasonable equipment and the difference is even more pronounced when you 
turn on that DAC .

I use the Mac for this task usually so no idea what people are using under 
Windows.


I'm not interested in just extracting audio from DVD'S, I want to rip the 
full content.

I've tried this method with both Window-Eyes and NVDA.

Press Windows-B, that brings up the System Tray and you may have to 
check that additional notifications are displayed, that's usually the 
first option, it appears as a check-box.


Move down the list till you come to Any DVD and then use the context key 
or rout the mouse to the Any DVD icon and right click on it.


From here you'll see a menu with various options which include Rip DVD 
to Hard Drive.

I double-right click on the Any DVD HD Icon and the option is there, 
a window then opens where you can change a few things before you 
double-click the copy button.

Hi!

I'm off to demo two Wireless Speaker systems on the weekend and both are 
from Polk Audio, the Omni S2 and the Omni s6.


The S2 is the portable Wi-Fi player and the S6 is the premium 
"Stand-alone" offering.


Both these Speaker units have the Play-Fi Wireless Open eco system 
built-in so that makes them truly flexible and able to play high quality 
audio such as HD, High res etc.


Being Play-Fi compatible means that these spekaer units can be used as 
multi room components.


The S2 portable runs on a rechargeable battery and has Bluetooth streaming 
as well as the aforementioned Play-Fi streaming. The S6 can have Bluetooth 
added with the addition of a USB Bluetooth adapter, I'm not sure whether 
this adapter is a specific Polk Audio item or readily available off the 
shelf so to speak, I hope my questions will be answered on Saturday.


Whilst both the S2 and S6 can obviously join a Wi-Fi network I also know 
that - again with the help of a USB adapter - the S2 can be wired to a LAN 
if you'd prefer.


Polk Audio have several devices in the Omni line-up, a Pre-amp, a Soundbar 
and an adapter that can be connected to an existing system to enable 
Play-Fi compatibility.


More details next week.

 Yep, use it quite often though not as often as I did because there is
 better software around but regardless of that so what sort of USB
 device did you have in mind? I have 2 different USB devices here in my

 recommending this outstanding piece of British engineering now for
 nearly 2 years (fancy the POMS of all people coming up with something
 like this smile)) and my Logitech USB heaset, you configure these
 devices under Total Recorder itself through its Setup or its Recording

 want to go through all this.
