MaPlEr is an accessible media player that is designed to work with screen readers. -Steve. From: Scott Erichsen piano...@scotterichsen.com To: vi...@softspeak.com.au Hello to all, After a while of working, we now have released Version 1.08 of MaPlEr. We have added a lot of new features and we hope you'll enjoy them. For this update please do not use the update feature of MaPlEr. Please download the setup file from our homepage, and install it. This is necessary because of integrating the CD-Ripping-Feature. The direct download link is http://www.odissa.de/php/CHCounter/getfile.php?id=10 a word about the conversion function: to convert to MP3 files you have to download the program lame.exe. You can get it e.g. on this site http://audio.ciara.us/rarewares/lame3.98.2.zip Please unzip the file and copy lame.exe to the program folder, where you have installed MaPlEr. Because of license laws we are not allowed to bundle lame.exe with our program. But if you download it your own, it's not illegal. I'll attach the what's new list at the end of the mail. Best regards from here and we are waiting for your feedback and hope you'll have much fun with the new version! Marco (Mar-dy-Team). V1.08.0: - Integrated the English help file. - We have rapidly decreased the time to recognize the tracks of an audio CD. - Assign shortcuts to all labels of the different dialog boxes. - Extras | convert: with this feature you can convert several audio formats to another. With this dialog you can convert audio CD's to MP3 too. Please refer to our homepage for more information. - If you insert an audio CD in your CD-ROM-Drive, you can select MaPlEr to play this CD right from this popup menu. - If you have multiple sound cards you can switch between the soundcards. This can be done while MaPlEr is playing too. - view | column settings: with this entry you can tell MaPlEr which columns should be shown and the width of each column. The order of the columns can be set here too. - view | Display columns as one long row: this displays all the columns as one long row, without many spaces between. This setting is useful especially for use with a braille display. - view | refresh: this refreshes the entries of the currently loaded play list. - Player | player follows cursor: if you deactivate this entry you can navigate through the play list, without stopping the playback of the current track. If you want to listen to the track, which has the focus, you must explicitly play it by pressing the letter x.

The machine came with audio listed as VIA VT1708B 8-channel high-definition audio. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this at all. The sound for music is fine but what I'm finding is that with any synthetic speech unless I have audio playing, the speech is cut off at the beginning of each audio phrase being spoken. It is almost as though the audio needs to kick in. This is prior to installing Win7, so just with Vista. It happens with several screen readers. I've used a variety of sound cards and audio and not experienced this before. If there's not a good solution to this, any suggestions on a basic sound card to use just for the synthetic speech for the screen readers?

Re: My thoughts on the Mapler media player
Actually I believe you can record from the line input with Winamp if you use the linerec input plug-in.

I thought I would give my overview of how I found using the player from a user's perspective. Many media players are either fairly complex to use from a screen-reading standpoint or they require special plugins to achieve tasks which we as visually impaired people may like to do. Mapler is designed to make the playback of audio files and the creation of playlists easy while incorporating some unique features. As has been discussed, Mapler is an audio player and playlist generator produced by a small company in Germany. At least one of the developers is visually impaired, a fact derived from the podcast downloadable from the company web site which explains clearly how to use the program. All functions can be accessed using the keyboard or through the menu system. Because Mapler uses standard windows controls, no special scripts or screen-reader configuration files are required. It functions well with jaws, window-eyes or system access and I imagine all other screen-readers. Mapler costs 7 Euro if PayPal is used (about 10 dollars), or 11 Euro if an external company processes the credit card payment. Learning how to use Mapler is best achieved in my view using the podcast or by exploring the menus. The help topics are not accessible via the Help menu for some reason, but you can access them via the shortcut off the Programs menu, available from the Start menu. However, not all the files have been translated into English as some still remain in German. Having said that, Mapler is an incredibly easy player to use. For those people who do not want to learn how to use a complex media player,Mapler probably is for you. Advantages of using the Player: 1. It is easy to start, stop and pause the playing of a file, or move forward and backward it in predefined steps, such as five seconds, 30 seconds, or a minute at a time. 2. Files or folders can be added to create a playlist to hear the tracks immediately or the playlist can be saved with an .m3u extension. 3. One of the things I liked about Mapler was the ability to change the order of tracks in the playlist. Tracks can be rearranged by pressing Control+Up Arrow or Control+Down Arrow to move the selected track up or down in the playing order. Keystrokes also exist to move an item to the beginning or end of a playlist. 4. The volume of playback can be adjusted independently of the screen-reader. 5. The variable speed without pitch adjustment is particularly impressive. Many hardware and computer-based players often disturb the overall quality of the playback when audio is reproduced at high speed and I found accessing audio at a rapid rate using Mapler to be very easy on the ear. 6. There are a number of functions you can select when audio is being played, such as to repeat tracks, shuffle, continuously play, fade out or cross-fade. Parameters in the Settings menu allow you to control the cross-fade process. 7. A special sleep timer allows you to have the computer shut down or go into hybernation when the track or playlist has finished playing, or after a designated time period has elapsed. 8. One really cool feature is that you can pause and play the audio from within any application by pressing the Pause key on the computer keyboard, located on the top right of the qwerty keyboard. If for example you are located within Microsoft Word, and the Pause key is pressed once, the audio from Mapler is either paused or playback is resumed. If pressed twice quickly, focus is set to the Mapler window for any manipulation you may wish to do. When the Pause key is pressed twice quickly again, focus is reset back to the application you were previously using, very nice. 9. The supported file formats are audio CD, wav, MP3, MP4, OGG, WMA unprotected, AAC and FLAC. As a

I've been a member for 8 years and I think the audio generally is good. Are you using format 4 as your download format? If you use one of the lower formats such as 2 or 3 the audio isn't very good.

Here is why: It's now possible to avoid the media monopolies completely and get direct access on your computer. without paying any cable or satellite company a dime. This fascinating story began in a sleepy little river town in Illinois. You see, Illinois is now home to a freedom loving young computer genius from Australia that cable and satellite companies soon learned to hate with a vengeance. Why such animosity? The answer is simple. He has discovered a secret loophole that lets anyone with an internet connection get access to unregulated, uncensored and even banned channels from all over the world. The media giants are more than a little angry... because they haven't figured out a way to control his discovery, but the first thing you should know is. It's 100% Legal And Works Anywhere In The World! That's right. Despite that cable companies hate him so much, they can't stop him because what he does is 100% legal. For privacy sake, let's call him Marshall. You see, Marshall and a group of technology experts spent close to two years developing a simple, easy-to-use computer program that legally grabs television channels from all over the world and sends them to your computer through the internet without hacking or cracking! Frankly, it's pure genius. And, with Marshall's new grabber software, you'll now have access to stunning must see television channels from the U.S. and around the world!

Music: The hottest music videos from all over the world! Some channels you should check out are Deejay TV, Festival TV, Ministry Of Sound, Party TV, and Club TV! And on top of that, you also have access to an astonishing list of 1,500 radio stations from around the world Premium Channels:Includes unexpected programming from channels like the Comedy Central, MTV Overdrive, Euro TV, Discovery Channel, Broadway Network, Game Network, MovieStat Network, Adult Swim, National Geographic, Food Network, Rapture TV, and Vintage Cartoons.

The thing I usually do when I have Windows Protected Media files is to turn each file into a .WAV file by burning it to a CD, then ripping it to the desired MP3. The problem I have with this, of course, is that I have to waste as many CD's as there are files in the set for the book! OK, I could probably get away with not doing this by using rewritable discs, but at this time I have none of those, and many hundred non-rewritables. But even though I have more non-rewritables than I'll need, I want to be green about it and not have to throw away four perfectly good discs just because I don't need them any more. Is there a way to convert directly from protected WMA to either WAV or MP3 without actually having to physically create the intermediate CD?

Re: the old fm transmitter question again
Just to add to my other post: If you can find one on Ebay that is assembled the Ramsey Fm100B does everything you'd want in a transmitter that would connect to your computer and transmit your music around the house. The advantage of that transmitter is that it has its own built in mixer with 2 sets of rca inputs and a microphone jack. The frequency is also easy to set and it locks as well so you can't inadvertently knock it off frequency. It also has its own built in whip antenna.

Folks here turned me on to the Squeeze Box more than a year ago and I've been very pleased. However, I just updated to the 7.0 version of the Slim Server Software for streaming to a Squeeze Box and initial impressions are that the server software is less accessible than the 6.5 version. You can switch back to the classic interface which resolves most of the challenges. The main reason I updated was because now the Pandora music service is intigrated into the server software. Earlier you had to connect to the Squeeze Network. The biggest issues I noticed in the 7.0 server software were numerous instances of missing alt text, actionable UI elements no longer created as standard HTML links and many more areas that require use of a mouse. For example to play an entry in the 7.0 server software, you now need to use whatever mechanism your screen reader has for dealing with onmouseovers to get a menu of things like play and add to play list to appear.

In the end I chose the Eton E1, made by Grundig. In the US, there is a version of the Eton E1 that also offers XM capability. The E1 is the best receiver I've owned since my good old Sony 2010, and there really is no other portable out there that came close on specs. The wide filter makes broadcast AM sound fantastic. Even for AM though, you do need to have the antenna extended. Here's some of what universal Radio has to say about it. The Etón E1 XM (originally announced as the Grundig Satellit 900) is the world's first radio that combines AM, FM, shortwave and XM Satellite radio into one ultra high-performance unit. In development for nearly ten years, in collaboration with RL Drake Company and XM Satellite Radio, the E1 XM is simply the finest full-sized portable in the world. The E1 is an elegant confluence of performance, features and capabilities. The look, feel and finish of this radio is superb. The solid, quality feel is second to none. The digitally synthesized, dual conversion shortwave tuner covers all shortwave frequencies. Adjacent frequency interference can be minimized or eliminated with a choice of three bandwidths [7.0, 4.0, 2.5 kHz]. The sideband selectable Synchronous AM Detector further minimizes adjacent frequency interference and reduces fading distortion of AM signals. IF Passband Tuning is yet another advanced feature that functions in AM and SSB modes to reject interference. AGC is selectable at fast or slow. High dynamic range permits the detection of weak signals in the presence of strong signals. All this coupled with great sensitivity will bring in stations from every part of the globe. Organizing your stations is facilitated by 500 user programmable presets with alpha labeling, plus 1200 user definable country memories, for a total of 1700 presets. You can tune this radio many ways such as: direct shortwave band entry, direct frequency entry, up-down tuning and scanning. Plus you can tune the bands with the good old fashioned tuning knob (that has new fashioned variable-rate tuning). There is also a dual-event programmable timer. Whether you are listening to AM, shortwave, FM or XM, you will experience superior audio quality via a bridged type audio amplifier, large built in speaker and continuous bass and treble tone controls. Stereo line-level output is provided for recording or routing the audio into another device such as a home stereo. The absolutely stunning LCD has 4 levels of backlighting and instantly shows you the complete status of your radio. Many receiver parameters such as AM step, FM coverage, beep, kHz/MHz entry etc., can be set to your personal taste via the preference menu. The E1 XM has a built in telescopic antenna for AM, shortwave and FM reception. Additionally there is a switchable antenna jack [KOK] for an external antenna. There are jacks for Line Input, Line Output, earphones, and external speaker. The E1 XM comes with an AC adapter or may be operated from four D cells (not included). 13.1 x 7.1 x 2.3 inches 4 lbs. 3oz. Assembled in India. This model is not available for export. 1. XM Satellite Radio ready 2. Continuous Shortwave with Selectable Single Sideband (SSB) Reception 3. Dual Conversion Superheterodyne Circuit Design 4. Digitally Synthesized PLL Tuner with Synchronous Detector 5. Passband Tuning and Selectable Bandwidth Filters 6. 1700 Station Presets with Memory Scan Function 6. Direct Keypad Entry 7. 5.7 inches Oversized Illuminated Multi-Function Dot-Matrix LCD Screen 8. Stereo Line-Level Audio Inputs/Outputs and External Antenna Connections 9. Dual Clocks and Programmable Timers 10. Adjustable Snooze/Sleep 11. Separate Bass and Treble Controls 12. Programmable preference settings Note: The CNP2000 CNP2000H XM module and docking units are available separately. Both are required for XM reception along with an XM activation and monthly subscription fee. E1 users should order the CNP2000 DUO to obtain both pieces. What's also good is that this radio is pretty accessible. Obviously some memorising is involved because we don't have access to the display, however the menu system can be accessed via the keypad, so for example you know that to toggle between stereo and mono mode on FM, you press the menu key followed by 21.

Re: for those who have the victor reader
It's recording capabilities are limited. It's really meant to record notes and has an internal microphone as well as an external mic jack. Where it excels as far as I'm concerned is it's ability to play audible files at variable speed. It also needs no special software to copy files to it unlike similar units. - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2007 10:44 AM Subject: Re: for those who have the victor reader Yep, that is a bit surprising, I mean 64 meg cards for example aren't exactly what one would call expensive are they.

Re: How does one Cross-fade in Winamp 5.x
Rick, Ok download this one and just run the executable. It should set up the sqrsoft plug-in automatically. You will need to run the executable once downloaded and it will put the dll in your winamp folder under plug-ins. If it doesn't set the plugin open preferences in Winamp with control + P, arrow to the output plugin, tab twice to the list and select it. The default settings should work well.

Re: Accessible FM transmitters
Just want to clear up what might be a slight misconception at least with regard to hobby broadcasting in the U.S. Hobby broadcasting is governed under FCC part 15 of the FCC rules and regs. These rules are summarized below. Thanks to the Ramsey Electronics Bulletin Board from which I copied this info. Hello All, After you read my post, please do not respond with comments about go for it, relax and have fun, you won't hurt anybody and won't get caught, or many of the other criticisms which have resulted when someone, such as I, explain the reality of the FCC rules regarding part 15 FM. My intent is not to tell anyone what to do or what not to do; it is to provide information so those who are interested can have a knowledge base from which they can decide on their own how to proceed. If I state technical or other inaccuracies, I will welcome and acknowledge corrections. The FCC rules for unlicensed operation in the FM band limit, among other things, the field strength to 250 microvolts per meter measured at 3 meters. This is not a limit on power, transmission lines, grounds, nor antennas. This limit actually includes the effects of all of these variables and focuses only on the outcome. To put this field strength in perspective, this field strength can be produced by about 11 nanowatts into a dipole antenna. One nanowatt is one one millionth of a milliwatt, so the information typically mentioned about 25 milliwatt transmitters is not only not presenting any meaningful information about compliance with the FCC rules, it is misleading people into believing that this power is the norm for legal hobby FM. A 25 milliwatt output delivered to a typical antenna will exceed the field strength limit by about 1400 times. Many have been cited and fined where the citations mention field strengths in the range of that which can easily be produced by 25 milliwatt transmitter output power. If you don't think this is something to consider, check these links (look for NOUO and NAL): http://www.fcc.gov/eb/FieldNotices/ http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/Welcome.html You will see that there are many citations and fines for unlicensed operation on the FM band. You might think that the kit your built is OK but consider the information on the following links, especially with regard to the calculated milliwatt transmitter powers which resulted in FCC actions: http://part15.us/node/1375#comment-4249 http://www.part15.us/node/716#comment-1578 You might assume that because you bought a FM transmitter kit from a good source (such as Ramsey) that it is going to be legal to put it on the air. This is not true unless you can, by some means, assure that you comply with the rules. All of the FM transmitter kits of which I am aware are NOT FCC certified nor type accepted. It is legal to offer these for sale as kits, but the responsibility for legal use falls on the user. There is no assurance to be gained that you will not have a problem just because you bought and assembled a kit from a reputable manufacturer. It is up to you! I have a Ramsey FM transmitter and I have limited the range of this unit to less than 200 feet. Why? Because the FCC itself has published an information sheet which states that this is the approximate range to expect from a legal station. I have no other means to judge my compliance with the regulations, but this is probably close enough. You can achieve, with the kits available and simple antennas, much greater range but consider that you cannot do so legally in the US. A cavelier attitude on the part of those who operate FM transmitters built from kits and who intentionally or unintentionally violate the rules may result in, by a change in the rules, the complete elimination of FM transmitter kits from the market It is your choice regarding what you do. It is my hope, after you have read this, that you will do so knowing what is involved.

The FCC rules for unlicensed operation in the FM band limit, among other things, the field strength to 250 microvolts per meter measured at 3 meters.

To put this field strength in perspective, this field strength can be produced by about 11 nanowatts into a dipole antenna. One nanowatt is one one millionth of a milliwatt, so the information typically mentioned about 25 milliwatt transmitters is not only not presenting any meaningful information about compliance with the FCC rules, it is misleading people into believing that this power is the norm for legal hobby FM. A 25 milliwatt output delivered to a typical antenna will exceed the field strength limit by about 1400 times.

There is no assurance to be gained that you will not have a problem just because you bought and assembled a kit from a reputable manufacturer. It is up to you! I have a Ramsey FM transmitter and I have limited the range of this unit to less than 200 feet. Why? Because the FCC itself has published an information sheet which states that this is the approximate range to expect from a legal station. I have no other means to judge my compliance with the regulations, but this is probably close enough. You can achieve, with the kits available and simple antennas, much greater range but consider that you cannot do so legally in the US. A cavelier attitude on the part of those who operate FM transmitters built from kits and who intentionally or unintentionally violate the rules may result in, by a change in the rules, the complete elimination of FM transmitter kits from the market It is your choice regarding what you do.

In theory they can insist that the transmitter is part 15 compliant which most hobby units are not. That is not to say that this unit or any other will cause the FCC to bother you just to bare in mind that the lower the power you use the less likely you will be to have your transmitter called into question.

When you say its priced on the high side, how high is high? And, did they charge more for adding the features that you requested? Is there a contact that you have to whom I could speak to obtain a unit tricked out as is yours? I do some dejaying at fish and gun club functions. Often I bring a few large bose accoustic waves and place them outside facing the say, family day activities. The cooking crew is off at the barbecue pit and are out of range of the bose radios that I bring, so they park their trucks around the pit and tune radios in. Unfortunately, they are out of reach of the c crane transmitter, altered as it is. Hence my interest in the unit you describe. Any info is surely appreciated. Rusty At 10:19 AM 9/11/2007, Bob Seed spake thusly:- couple of months ago, there was a great thread on this list about FM transmitters. A user recommended the transmitter found at http://www.wavemach.com. I purchased one of these and am thrilled. The range is huge, the construction solid, no nasty power hum, very good stereo separation, in short, no complaints whatsoever. I got him to add a level control that allows me to set the line in for the two RCA sockets, and he also added small buttons for setting the frequency. It has a standard antenna socket at the back and comes with a very solid little antenna, not just a wire. So if you're looking for an FM transmitter, this one is definitely worth a look, but it is on the high end of the price range. You definitely get what you pay for though.

This is for use in the USA, so the broadcasting frequencies need to end in odd numbers. I also would like the transmitter to have multiple power supply options like car adapter, AC adapter, batteries, even USB. I've seen one called MobileBlackBox v5000 fm transmitter, but it seems to be out of stock and I don't know how easy it is to use. Also, I don't know if it lives up to the range it claims. I know the one you can buy at Radio Shack for about $30 isn't worth 2 cents. Well, thanks in advance for your input and advise. Jason No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: Accessible FM transmitters
I think I'd give it 4 out of 5. I think it needs a harmonics filter which I put between the unit and its antenna. I was getting interference to my wireless network which the filter seemed to clear up. The range however is very good and the sound is quite good. Bass response is outstanding and the highs are good although I'd say not outstanding. I would say it is definitely worth the $300 plus I spent for it. In terms of accessibility, the added buttons and volume control make it very accessible and quite easy to use. The man who runs the company (Dave) is quite friendly and helpful. To give a quick description of the buttons, one which is separated from the others turns the unit on and off. If the unit is off press and hold the button for a second or so and it will turn on. To turn it off you need to press and hold in the button for about 4 seconds. The two additional buttons tune the unit with the up button above the down button as you'd expect. The volume control is on the back of the unit and is easily identifiable. The antenna is connected with a bnc connector and can be substituted with any other including an outdoor antenna if you want improved range. With a whip antenna I received the signal on a car radio about .6 miles away (about 1 km I'd say). My guess is with an outdoor antenna you'd get over a mile. That's about it, a pretty straight forward unit. - Original Message - From: Bob Seed [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2007 7:32 PM Subject: Re: Accessible FM transmitters Jonathan has given this transmitter raving reviews.

The Veronica the unit I have is just a circuit board. I think over the years with various moves of houses, it's kind of been bumped around a bit and isn't in as good a shape as it once was. I would say though that the range of the Wavemach is better, and I have also seen comments from people who say that some of the newer Veronicas can drift a bit, and it's hard to get an adapter that doesn't cause a noticeable power hum. The adapter is included with the Wavemach, it's dual voltage, and it sounds great.

When compared to other professional broadcast equipment suppliers they are very reasonable as far as their pricing is concerned. Having said that I just might pick up one of those units as well, as I haven't had good luck with off the shelf units that one can pick up at an electronics store. You were wise to have them put on those extra controls, as you have better control of the input levels and frequency adjustment. This is the closest that one is going to get to a professional broadcast transmitter for a fraction of the cost.

Re: transmitters
For info on AM transmission look at: http://www.part15.us Bottomline is you need to put up an outdoor antenna to get any significant distance with AM. You also need to be sure you have a very good ground.

Re: Wireless transmitter
The assembled units Ramsey sells are export only. The fm100b domestic (U.S.) unit is 25 milliwatts, the export unit can be set between 25 milliwatts and 1 watt but must be done internally. The 25 milliwatt unit is in kit form only (at least from Ramsey) but the 1 watt unit can be bought assembled. The Ramsey fm100b kit costs $269 and the assembled 1 watt unit is about $429. They also sell less expensive units, the Fm25b, the fm30b, and the fm35b. The fm30/fm35 are the small brothers of the Fm100b and consequently less expensive. If memory serves the fm35 which can be bought assembled is about $300. I am not sure about the accessibility of the fm30 and fm35 because they use a menu system to set the frequency and other parameters such as volume. The fm25b is even cheaper and all adjustments must be made from inside the unit. It also only is sold as a kit from Ramsey. The sources for assembly of these units have dried up somewhat because of the FCC clamp down on selling illegal units. Units sold as kits in the U.S. can be sold with more leeway in terms of power output than assembled units which are supposed to be FCC certified as part 15 compliant. Ramsey was fined several thousand dollars a couple of years ago because they were selling assembled units for export to people in the U.S. and those units weren't being exported. - Original Message - From: Jonathan Mosen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'PC audio discussion list.

Hi Jonathan, This unit does not come standard with a volume control but we can install one for $25USD. This is not nessasary if you use and audio source that you can adjust but is very important if you intend to use audio sources with fixed level line outputs. The frequency is changed by using a pushing a paper clip to push the small recessed buttons on the front panel. Alternatively we can install 2 small push buttons on the front panel for and extra $10. The transmitter is fairly small so the shipping is only $33 by surface insured mail or $49 by Xpresspost insured. I highly recommend Xpresspost since it is trackable and only take 5-7 business days to most locations. Surface mail can take up to 3 months in some cases.

Yes there shouldn't be a problem with them sending you an assembled unit. The nice thing about the fm100b is that it has its own built in mixer, two line ins and a mic in, volume control, stereo/mono selecter, and the ability to set frequency easily from the front of the unit. On the back there are two set of stereo line in rca jacks and anoutput set of rca jacks for monitoring (should you decide to use them, I never have found a reason).

Re: Wireless transmitter
The Ramsey units aren't bad either. I'm not up on what the legal power limit is in the U K these days but you might be able to purchase one of their assembled units. If not you'd need to find someone to assemble the kit. Also the Decade Ms100-s is a great sounding unit and is legal to operate in the U S so I'd imagine also in the U K. It costs between 5 and 6 hundred dollars though. - Original Message - From: Rob Monitor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 5:44 PM Subject: Re: Wireless transmitter Yes and C.CRANE has a good one too...

Re: high quality wireless headphones question.
I assume you're talking about a transmitter/receiver pair that would allow you to plug in a high quality pair of headphones? If so there really isn't much around. The closest thing I've found to something that is truly high quality is at: http://www.wireless-experts.com It's called the Truemusic system. I contacted them about seven years ago to find out what it cost and they told me it would be about $780. At that point I decided I didn't want to spend that much money for it. The specs on it however are awesome and they now have a digital set up as well. Unfortunately I can't tell you more about that device because I don't own it. I have several FM transmitters I use for that purpose instead. - Original Message - From: Jim Noseworthy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Pc-audio@pc-audio.org; MIDI-MAG: Blind folks and their use of MIDI [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 1:14 PM Subject: high quality wireless headphones question.
