I am seriously considering terminating the pc audio list.
There is very little traffic on the list but a lot of spam. Also, with the
advent of DMARC I have no idea who is or is not receiving list messages.

I could take the list to Google Groups or some other commercial e-mailing

interested taking on administration duties of the list. There is a cost for
the domain name and web space.

Jonathan Mosen started the list almost twenty years ago and it might have

As to slow downloading of data, I have noticed with ours, and those of some

Other than that, you are right, a lot of functionality in that little

Hi!

I just bought one of these units and would like to make comment on my
purchase.

Firstly I think that the unit does a brilliant job for what it is in
most respects.

The sound from the internal speaker is a little muffled however - having
already heard a VR Stream - I was already prepared for this, a bit of an
annoyance one might say so to overcome this I use a small BUniden
hand-held amplified battery speaker I've had for years, cost me $25
about 7 years ago, pity the Stream doesn't have Bluetooth but I guess a
product can't have everythint.

Now I don't know whether this is my unit in particular but I have
noticed that the downloading of data seems to be incredibly slow
compared to other devices I have on my network, I used the "Check for
Updates" function and - according to that - the firmware is up to date,
well at least the data does get downloaded I guess.

There's a hell of a lot of functionality packed into the VR Stream box
and a lot of this - such as the Internet Radio, podcasts and so forth -
I won't bother using - given I already have better solutions for that
sort of thing - but for those who don't the VR Stream provides a great
entry level to the world of Internet Radio and Podcasting.

Getting online with the Vision Australia library was a snap so I
downlaoded a couple of books.

Again, I have other Apps and so forth which I prefer to use myself but
the Stream is convenient for reading, no doubt about that even though I
read all my newspapers these days straight from the web site its good to
know I have a reliable backup.

Hi!

If you've not taken a serious look at the Spotify Music platform in a 
good while - and you like your music just the way you want it and not 
how your local radio station wants it - then take a good look at the 
modern Spotify.


I won't go into all the changes I noticed since I last saw it before 
today but the changes are numerous and these changes have really given 
me something to think about regarding the other Music services I'm 
subscribed to, it might very well be that you'll find that Spotify will 
provide your each and every need for your music listening habits. 
particularly if you're a Spotify Premium user.


I used the Spotify IOS App to do my exploration, I found accessibility 
to be first class.


Right now I'm listening to the "Soft Rock" playlist on Spotify through a 
Spotify connect device, the Sangean WRF28D portable radio.


Connecting the device wasn't hard to do, I just selected Spotify from 
the Source list for the radio using the Undok App, I then opened the 
Spotify App from Undok and used the Connect icon at the bottom of the 
screen to locate the radio, the music started playing through it when I 
double-tapped the "Play" icon.

Re: Winamp alt-3 Key Not Working

Well, I found it. Apparently, alt-3 was set as a global hot key to read

There are a lot of Shortwave radio sets out there which are blind friendly 
but the trick to getting a blind friendly shortwave set is to be prepared to 
learn how to use it.


The cheapest around which is an all-round good performer would be the Degen 
D-1103 sometimes known as the Kido - hope I got the spelling right - 1103, 
the set has been around a good while and as far as I know is still available 
for well under $100.


The radio covers all the Shortwave bands along with Medium-wave and 
Long-wave bands, has SSB tuning should you want it and performs well.


There are a few tricks to this radio but overall the interface is extremely 
well laid out.


One of the things I like about the radio is the analogue feel to the tuning, 
yes it has a knob for tuning the radio with the added tester year feel of 
each band wrapping around.


For example you select a band and start tuning using the dial, when you come 
to the upper or lower end of the band - depending on your thing direction - 
the radio doesn’t just go to the next band rather it wraps around to the end 
and continues tuning.


The 1103 has a numeric keypad though its a little strange to get used to at 
first as all the numbers are from left to right.


Buttons are easily identifiable, keypad buttons are small round buttons 
whilst function buttons are rectangle in shape.


These radios were being sold by the giant discount Aldi Supermarket chain in 
Australia up until recently.


I have a document which describes how to use the radio and its many 
functions which I was involved in compiling if anyone would be interested, 
email me and I’ll send along a copy or - if demand is great enough - I’ll 
put up a Dropbox link.

Re: The Future of Winamp

[Evan Reese]

I mostly agree with this. The chief problem I've had with not having an 
update to Winamp is that it doesn't know what CDs are anymore, except those 
newer ones that have their track data embeded in the CD itself. I have 
gotten some of those recently. But most CDs still come back Unknown when I 
try to rip them with Winamp.
However, now that I've found a CD ripper that usually does know what it's 
ripping, and that works very well, (EZ CD Audio Converter), not being able 
to do it with Winamp is not such an issue anymore.
So it would be nice to see that someone was behind the program, but it 
doesn't matter as much to me now as it used to. As long as it keeps working 
I'll keep using it for what it can do.

I know that there are plenty of other good audio players such as

Hey Guys,
I tried to install and use two CD rippers today without success.
First, I tried to install the latest CDEX. After three tries, I finally 
found a site that actually let me download it. The first one said the 
page could not be displayed, the second and third had download links, but 
nothing happened when I hit them. One even said my program was 
downloading, but my IE11 didn’t download anything. Finally, I downloaded 
the file and tried to install it. It wanted to install three third party 
programs, AdAware, Tune Up Utilities, and (I think) Pluto TV. My Window 
Eyes 8.4 could find no check boxes to select whether to not install 
these, so I just clicked Next and figured I’d uninstall them after I got 
CDEX successfully installed. However, when I hit Next after Pluto TV came 
up, it asked me to select an option and an Okay button came up. I reached 
an impasse at that point, since I couldn’t see how to select the option.

So that was the end of trying to install CDEX.
Then I tried VLC Media Player. Installing that was easy. Then I brought 
up the instructions on how to rip CDs with it that Dane so thoughtfully 
provided a while back. However, not all those controls in setting up the 
ripping process are accessible for me with Window Eyes 8.4. For example, 
I cannot check the CD check box. It just won’t change from Unchecked no 
matter how many times I hit the space bar. I can’t even get it to play a 
CD that’s in the tray. I know it plays because I can bring up Winamp and 
play it. The problem with Winamp of course is that it doesn’t know what 
it’s playing anymore, so I’m trying to find a ripper that knows the 
tracks.
I looked up Exact Audio Copy, but it looks intimidatingly complicated to 
me frankly.
So, anybody got any suggestions for an ACCESSIBLE ripper that I can try 
that’s not overly complex, but that will produce reasonably good results.

I’d really appreciate some advice.
Oh, how I miss being able to do the job with Winamp!

Re: Looking for An Accessible CD Ripper

[Evan Reese]

One reason for a profile that I can think of is how you want the program to 
handle track titles. For example, for a single artist CD I don't want the 
artist's name to appear in the title of every track. However, for a various 
artists compilation, of which I have quite a lot, I do want the name of the 
artist to appear in each track title.
That's just a small example. There may be other reasons to have profiles,

I don't really understand the need for profiles when ripping cd's?
Another one wich I like and wich is free, is called mp3 ripper. It can
be downloaded from www.accmeware.com
If the website don't work, let me no.

Yes, it is indeed from POIKOSOFT. And yes, it is almost completely
accessible so far as I can tell with my Window Eyes 8.4.
There are a couple of unlabeled buttons, but it's not hard to figure out
what they do from hitting them. For example, there's a button to let you
browse to where you want it to put the files it rips, but my Window Eyes
doesn't say Browse. Also, I can't find any Save button in here anywhere, 
so

I need to check to make sure it still has my settings whenever I open it.
You can edit profiles, but I still haven't totally got the hang of how to
save them exactly. And when you try to delete a profile, it starts at the
top of the list, and not on the profile your cursor is on when you go into
the Edit Profile dialogue box.
Still, it is working very well overall.

Is this a Poikosoft product, that is entirely accessible?  Has not been my
experience in the past.  Of course, you said you were using Window Eyes,
weren't you?  I only have Jaws versions 14 and 15 running on a Windows 7

Looking for An Accessible CD Ripper

[Evan Reese]

Hey Guys,
I tried to install and use two CD rippers today without success.
First, I tried to install the latest CDEX. After three tries, I finally found a 
site that actually let me download it. The first one said the page could not be 
displayed, the second and third had download links, but nothing happened when I 
hit them. One even said my program was downloading, but my IE11 didn’t download 
anything. Finally, I downloaded the file and tried to install it. It wanted to 
install three third party programs, AdAware, Tune Up Utilities, and (I think) 
Pluto TV. My Window Eyes 8.4 could find no check boxes to select whether to not 
install these, so I just clicked Next and figured I’d uninstall them after I 
got CDEX successfully installed. However, when I hit Next after Pluto TV came 
up, it asked me to select an option and an Okay button came up. I reached an 
impasse at that point, since I couldn’t see how to select the option.
So that was the end of trying to install CDEX.
Then I tried VLC Media Player. Installing that was easy. Then I brought up the 
instructions on how to rip CDs with it that Dane so thoughtfully provided a 
while back. However, not all those controls in setting up the ripping process 
are accessible for me with Window Eyes 8.4. For example, I cannot check the CD 
check box. It just won’t change from Unchecked no matter how many times I hit 
the space bar. I can’t even get it to play a CD that’s in the tray. I know it 
plays because I can bring up Winamp and play it. The problem with Winamp of 
course is that it doesn’t know what it’s playing anymore, so I’m trying to find 
a ripper that knows the tracks.
I looked up Exact Audio Copy, but it looks intimidatingly complicated to me 
frankly.
So, anybody got any suggestions for an ACCESSIBLE ripper that I can try that’s 
not overly complex, but that will produce reasonably good results.
I’d really appreciate some advice.
Oh, how I miss being able to do the job with Winamp!
Evan

Re: Looking for An Accessible CD Ripper

Thanks so much! It is indeed easy to install, and easy to set up. It's 
completely accessible. I just ripped my third CD with it. Well, my fourth 
actually. I had to rip the first one twice because I didn't have the 
filename and folder settings right the first time.

It works fantastically.
Thanks for the great help.

Looking for Speak Recommendations

[Evan Reese]

Hey Guys,
I’m using a Windows 7 64-bit laptop with Window Eyes 8.4. I have absolutely no 
experience with buying these, but I want to get some speakers for my laptop. I 
don’t have a huge amount of space. I’d like to put them on either side of my 
laptop if possible. I’m putting them on my Christmas list for my Sweetie, and I 
don’t want to abuse her generosity. Can I get anything decent, or even half 
decent, for $100, or maybe not too much above that?
I only have one headphone/microphone jack, so I’d like to get USB speakers if I 
can to keep that jack free for times when I still want to use the headphones.
Finally, as I said, I have no experience at all with USB speakers. Can I just 
plug them into an available port and Windows 7 install an appropriate driver, 
or do I have to install the driver  from a CD? Will I have to worry about 
accessibility problems with that?
Thanks for any recommendations.

anion® 2 Series III multimedia speaker system •A performance upgrade over 
most conventional computer speakers

•Wide, lifelike sound at any volume made possible by Bose® technologies
•Play an additional device—just connect to the auxiliary input





$99.95
Their USB ones which are a fake surround system are $300. So no go with 
these. How ever if I may, the Companion 5 multimedia speaker system is epic! 
I have it and though it is a fake surround sound system, it is Bose, so I 
love it for what it is. I wish they would do a true companion 5. Meaning an 
actual 5.1 system around your head abd still being USB of course.

How Can I Preserve the Date Created Field When Copying My Albums to Another Computer?

[Evan Reese]

Hello,
A few months ago, I got a new Windows 7 64-bit laptop. I’m using Window Eyes 
8.4 on it. I copied all the albums I had ripped or downloaded from my old 
Windows Vista laptop to a hard drive, (since I don’t have a PC transfer cable), 
and then from the hard drive to my new machine. Unfortunately, all the Date 
fields, including the one I want to preserve, the Date Created field, were set 
to the date and time I copied the files. I do sometimes view my albums 
alphabetically, but most of the time, I like to view them in the order I put 
them on my system, and I can no longer do that on the new laptop.
A friend of mine told me about Robocopy, but the version that was on my Vista 
laptop didn’t preserve any date fields when we tried copying some of the albums 
to the hard drive. Then he found a more recent version that is supposed to be 
able to do that. But I wanted to ask here if anyone knows of an easier way. I’d 
rather find something more modern, that is more user friendly, something that 
you don’t have to run from the command prompt and remember various slash 
options, if I can before installing this, which may not work any better than 
the one that’s on there now. Of course, it has to be accessible with Window 
Eyes, which may also limit my options.
I really appreciate any help on this.

Nope, no installation of software. You just plunk in your link, wait a 
minute or so while the video is converted, and then a download link comes 
up. That's it. It's great, as long as what you want to convert is under 20 
minutes.

Hi!

Today is the 50th anniversary of the Beatles tour down under though some 
might argue its the 50th Anniversary since the Day Music Died, I'm of the 
view that The Beatles were just one big noise the 20th century could have 
done without but putting that aside I have to admit that - if you get the 
right stuff - some of the recordings made of The Beatles are quite stunning.


I have 2 sets of Beatles material which I refer to whenever I'm feeling 
gloomy and must listen to Beatles material, the first is the Masters CD 
collection which was released in 1995 or there abouts, there are 18 CD'S in 
the set and they come in a mini writing desk type box, yep its made out of 
wood and all, cost me $375 at the time but it was well worth the money.


The other set I have is the Masters in high resolution FLAC format, even 
better quality than the CD set I mentioned above.


And - if you don't have a CD player or couldn't be bothered to look where to 
buy the high resolution FLAC set - then iTunes offers a very good 
substitute, the Masters in AAC+ which still sounds acceptable in my lounge 
room.


Its unfortunate that there are so many dreadful Beatles recordings out 
there - even on CD - so you really have to know what to look for, my guess 
is that a lot of company's - 20 years ago - just wanted to get the material 
out there, remastered from old tapes and didn't really give a damn about the 
quality of the finished product.

Re: blind djs: beatmatching with software, loads of questions

[Evan Reese]

Hey Robert, I can't help you but if you find anything, I'd be interested in 
hearing about it.
These days I listen to Darkpsy, Forest Psy, and Psycore, and I'd like to 
create my own mixes if I had the software. Most of the stuff I have in these 
genres is from downloads, not  much physical vinyl or CD. I do have quite a 
lot on CD in old Techno and Trance from the 90s, but nowadays I don't buy 
physical CDs or vinyl if I can get a downloadable version.
I'm an assistant playlist manager for a Psytrance radio station, and if I 
could create my own mixes, I could put them up on the station for people to 
listen to. I think that would be cool. Anyway, if you find anything, I hope 
you will drop me a line.

so, do any of you blind folk know of a decent, accessable, intuative
set up that enables you to beatmatch mp3s as seemlessly as possible?
I'm imagining it's possible that for example the up and down arrows
could be used to control the pitch or they would on my ideal set up.
zulu dj software is the best I've found so far but I can't figure out
the beatmatching though it looks easy!
I am quite a perfectionist, that's what vinyl djing gets you used to
so I can tell off beats a mile off...
if any of you guys dj and would be willing to go through your setup
that would be really great. I mostly play minimal techno, drum and
bass etc so quick fades just won't cut it.
cheers,

Re: Problems With Auto Tagger In Winamp

[Evan Reese]

Thanks John, so what CD ripping program out there uses Gracenote? Or what CD 
ripping program out there has a service as good as Gracenote? I know it 
isn't CDex, because I've tried that one and it isn't as good at knowing what 
CDs I tried it with as Winamp was. But if I can't use Winamp to rip CDs 
until the end of the year at the earliest, (not if I don't want to have to 
name and tag all the tracks by hand that is), then what do people suggest?

Thanks much.

Maybe there's some hope, but not for a while. As a correction to my last

Winamp down last year but at the last minute Radionomy offered to buy it.
They are working on a new release but it won't be ready until at least the
end of the year. In the meantime Gracenote (who provide the tagging service)
have terminated it without notice as the licence has expired. The new owners
will not be using Gracenote. So no tagging until the end of the year at the

Re: Problems With Auto Tagger In Winamp

[Evan Reese]

I don't know what it's using. I only know that when I ripped three or four 
CDs with it, they weren't as well tagged up as they were when Winamp ripped 
them. Now that may be because CDex doesn't use Gracenote, or if it does, 
then it just doesn't implement the information it gets from Gracenote as 
skillfully as Winamp does. Whichever the case, it just isn't as good at 
naming and tagging files as Winamp was.

Anybody Here Used the WavePad Sound Editing Software from NCH?

[Evan Reese]

Hey folks,
Just wondering because I need something that will remove silence from ends of 
audio files. The problem is that they’re AAC files. Audacity says it won’t do 
it. WavePad will do it, but in demo mode it won’t save my changes to them. The 
price of the software, “without VST plugins support nor SFX Library”, is $50 
until May 15. Has anyone here used this? The reason I took a look at it is 
because their Switch audio converter is very accessible, and it looks like this 
WavePad is also accessible. But for $50 I’m wondering if there’s a better 
choice. If anyone knows how WavePad stacks up against similarly priced software 
I’d be interested. I know that Sound Forge will also edit AAC files, but I 
think that is a bit beyond my price range at the moment.
Thanks for any guidance.

and Hope is now running on both my Win 7 mechines.  You might try running
the program and put in your Pandora login info, then there should be a

Re: Blaze EZ Daisy multi-player with OCR

[Evan Reese]

AS someone who has scanned over 500 books for Bookshare, I can tell you that 
higher resolution can degrade scan quality. It may seem counterintuitive, 
but it's true nonetheless. For example, the default resolution for K1000 is 
300 dots per inch. But you can set it to 400 or 600. The scan quality is 
often not as good at these higher resolutions. For larger print, the 
difference is even more noticeable. Oftentimes, 200 dots per inch is the 
optimal resolution for larger print, and there's a substantial degradation 
in quality with higher resolutions.
In other words, you don't necessarily want or need the highest resolution 
camera you can pack into a device for OCR work.

Re: CD Data And Information

You don't have to have the Pro version to rip CDs, but there are some 
restrictions. First, you can't rip to mp3, but you can rip to m4a, and some 
other formats which I forget because I bought the Pro version a while back. 
Second, the free version only lets you rip at 8x, whereas the Pro version 
lets you rip at unlimited speed.

Hello List:  Am currently trying to rip a CD that I bought the other

night

at a concert; am using Windows Media to rip the CD (the CD appears to
be
ripping) however it says pending for all of the tracks and has been a

good

while since it has changed!  Does this mean that this CD cannot be

ripped?

I really am not sure of what is going on here!  Am running the latest
version of Jaws 15 with Windows 7; should I stop the rip and start
over?
Just would like to know what is taking so long!  In older versions of
Windows Media, if it wasn't going to rip, it would just pop the door
open
and that was that!

Re: Stereo AM

[Evan Reese]

Back in the 80s when I was visiting my parents in California, there was a 
stero AM station. But I didn't have any stereo AM receivers. But I did have 
two portable radios. I discovered that if you tuned them just right, you 
could get the stereo sound.

Actually we do have one radio station in Australia to my knowledge that does 
broadcast in AM Stereo to this day and that's 2CA Canberra, Here's a 
recording I found on Youtube of a station in the U.S. though I'm not sure 
when the content was actually aired, quite nice audio so - for those who 
have never heard stereo AM before - take a moment to enjoy.

Switch Is Great

[Evan Reese]

Hi Folks,
Well, on the recommendation of two people here yesterday, I went and installed 
Switch. It's completely accessible with my Window Eyes 8.4; almost as though it 
was written that way, although I don't know that for sure. It's also simple and 
fast. There is a five files at a time limit on the free version, but that is 
easy to work around. You can select and open many more than five files and then 
convert five at a time until you get them all. However, for convenience, and 
because I think they deserve it for writing such a simple and accessible 
product, I am probably going to buy it. It says that it will also extract audio 
from DVD's and video files, although I haven't tried this yet. If that works as 
simply and accessibly as the audio conversions I've done so far, then that will 
make it even more worth the price.

Thanks for putting me onto this.

Oh, by the way, Dane, VBR is not on the list of filetypes that Switch will 
convert to, so I guess I will continue with M4A.

Evan

Re: Switch Is Great

[Evan Reese]

Yes it does put itself in the context menu. I just checked this with an 
audio file, so I'm sure about this.


As to how to find it, just put Switch and NCH software into Google. When I 
did that, the first hit was the one I needed.

Re: Switch Is Great

[Evan Reese]

If you hit the alt key to go into the menus, just before the Open Output 
Folder, the first item is Add File(s). Go into that dialogue box and then 
tab over to where the folders are with your audio files, CDs or whatever. Go 
into whichever folder that has files you want to convert and select them 
all. Then tab over to the Open button and hit space on that. The files you 
selected will appear in a list just before that Open Output Folder button. 
In the free version, if you select more than five files from that list, one 
of two things will happen. It will either convert only the first five, or it 
will tell you that the free version only does five files at a time, and pop 
up a Buy button. Both have happened to me so far. So just select the first 
five, and when those are done, select the next five and so on until you've

make sure you remove them before starting another batch. Just select them 
all, go into that menu that begins with Add File(s) and arrow down to Remove 
All.

Hello Evan and list:  You brought up that you can convert more than one 
file
at a time with Switch (I also use this program) I had inquired about how 
to
do this, but still don't really understand the steps!  So since you 
brought

that up, I'll ask my question again: how do you convert more than one file
at a time with Switch?  I am using the latest Jaws 15; Windows 7 Home 664

Hi Folks,
Well, on the recommendation of two people here yesterday, I went and
installed Switch. It's completely accessible with my Window Eyes 8.4; 
almost
as though it was written that way, although I don't know that for sure. 
It's

also simple and fast. There is a five files at a time limit on the free
version, but that is easy to work around. You can select and open many 
more

than five files and then convert five at a time until you get them all.
However, for convenience, and because I think they deserve it for writing
such a simple and accessible product, I am probably going to buy it. It 
says

that it will also extract audio from DVD's and video files, although I
haven't tried this yet. If that works as simply and accessibly as the 
audio

conversions I've done so far, then that will make it even more worth the
price.

Thanks for putting me onto this.

Oh, by the way, Dane, VBR is not on the list of filetypes that Switch will
convert to, so I guess I will continue with M4A.

Re: Switch Is Great

[Evan Reese]

Hey /Tom,
Do you know where the converted files are supposed to go? When I installed 
it, they were set by default to go to the Music folder, and I just left it 
that way for the present to test it out. But that's in Windows Vista, that 
may be different for different operating systems. But you can check on that 
by simply tabbing through the buttons without even going into any menus. 
Maybe it's converting and you just can't find the converted files. What 
happens when you tell it to convert something? For me, it tells me what file 
it is working on and the percentages every so often. If it does that for 
you, then I would say that it's converting something, but you just may need 
to check to see where it's putting the files it converts.

That's how I use Switch (for changing bit rate) but somehow I am just not
getting the hang of converting more than one file at a time!  It seemed to
do it but, well I don't even know how to explain!  Somehow it's not

Looking for a New mp3 to m4a Converter

[Evan Reese]

Hello,
I've been using the Freemake Audio Converter since March of 2012 with good 
results. However lately, it's been having trouble opening multiple files, and 
the conversions it makes play in Winamp just fine, but they cause my Book Sense 
fits. I have to remove the battery to get it to speak correctly after trying to 
play one of these. I've converted several hundred CDs with it and those play in 
my Book Sense just fine, but the most recent dozen albums or so are having this 
trouble.

Well, I tried an uninstall and reinstall, but that did not go well because 
apparently it didn't really uninstall, because when I tried a conversion after 
reinstalling it, it remembered the last album I did, and it also remembered 
where I told it to store the converted files, which is not where it stores them 
if you don't change it. And, needless to say, the files I converted after a 
reinstall aren't any better.

So I think I'm gonna have to switch to another converter. I found some on 
Google that say they convert mp3 to m4a, but I don't know how accessible they 
are. So that's what I'm hoping someone here can help me with.

I'd appreciate any advice. This Freemake Audio Converter is accessible, and a 
cinch to run, and I did thousands of files with it, but apparently I've got to 
get something else.

Thanks much for any suggestions.

Looking for a New mp3 to m4a Converter

Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and 
Window Eyes 8.4. That might make a difference in what someone might suggest.

Thanks again.

Re: Looking for a New mp3 to m4a Converter

[Evan Reese]

Well, the answer to your question is that I cannot detect any difference in 
audio quality, and m4a files take up close to half the space of an 
equivalent sounding mp3 file. This is important for storage conservation on 
the SD cards when playing my music on the Book Sense when I'm not at my 
computer. Also, the equalizer in the Book Sense actually has greater 
differentiation in its settings for m4a files than it does for mp3 files. 
I'm not sure that was intentional, but it's a fact nonetheless. So the music 
actually does sound better in m4a on my Book Sense than an mp3 file of the 
same thing. I suppose they'll fix that someday, but even if they do, I've 
saved a lot of storage space, and money buying SD cards by converting my mp3 
files to m4a. So I want to keep doing it.

Yup, this is true. I've converted thousands of 256- and 320-kbps mp3 files 
to variable bit 128-kbps m4a and they sound great. And they're considerably 
smaller, which was my original reason for converting them.

Hi,

I disagree.  M4A sounds better than MP3 at the equivalent bit rate.  So a
128KB M4A sounds more like a 192 MP3.  MP3 is the worst kind of compression
out there.

All the best

Re: Looking for a New mp3 to m4a Converter

[Evan Reese]

In fairness to Freemake, I should point out that the problems I'm having are 
probably not their fault, except perhaps for the non-uninstallation part. I 
got this computer in July 2008, and it is certainly possible that errors are 
creeping into the registry, and wherever else it keeps files. But I am not 
even remotely qualified to determine whether that is true, much less fix 
them. It would explain why the program worked perfectly for over a year and 
ahalf and several thousand files before starting to malfunction. If the 
uninstallation had really worked, any errors of that sort might have been 
fixed upon reinstalling. But I guess that isn't gonna happen. I'm not quite 
in a position to get a new system, or I'd just do that. Most likely, 
installing Freemake on that would work just fine. And I still may when I get 
a new system; it never bothered me about purchasing anything. But until 
then, I think this summer perhaps, I will try another converter and see if 
that works.


Thanks all for the feedback.

Re: Looking for a New mp3 to m4a Converter

[Evan Reese]

Interesting. I buy some stuff from Amazon, and I'm not aware of any other 
choice than 256-kbps MP3. So I have to use what I get when I buy from them. 
Unless I am mistaken, 320-kbps mp3 is also lossless, not so? Most of my 
conversions are from that. I was not aware of VBR, so I didn't think to try 
it. However, the audio converter I've been using, Freemake, does not support 
converting to that in any event. If Switch does, then I can try it out and 
see what happens.


As far as the more conversions, the more loss goes, I'm doing one 
conversion, usually from 320-bit MP3, sometimes from WAV, and sometimes from 
256-bit MP3 when that's the best I can get. The files sound good to me, and 
no, I'm not going to rerip all my CDs. I don't buy many these days anyhow. 
Most of what I get is downloadable. The roughly 650 CDs I did rip, I used 
Winamp and ripped them to the same bit rate M4A as the downloadable files 
I've been converting lately, and they sound really good to me. Now if I were 
using some really high end equipment and had no need to conserve storage 
space, then I wouldn't convert anything, but I don't have any of that, and I 
do need to conserve storage space. I'm not sure whether the Book Sense will 
play VBR files. I'll have to look into that. If it does, then there's 
nothing that says I can't start using that if it really does save more space 
than an equivalent sounding M4A file.


Thanks for the info on that.

They sound similar, my real point here is that the more conversion 
decoding/encoding that takes place then the more loss of quality results.


Each to their own but the way you've done thing here is not the way I'd done 
them.


Firstly I wouldn't have bothered with such high bit rates when intially 
converting to MP3, I would have used VBR - after setting the encoding 
options properly - that would have given you a much smaller file size thus 
you wouldn't have needed to convert anything at all, encoding would have 
been far more efficient and loss of quality limited etc.


The other way you could go - if you can still get hold of the source 
material you encoded - is to encode directly to FLac and then convert to 
AAC/M4A, just making these comments for future reference and I appreciate 
that no one wants to rip a whole CD collection again but often its very 
worth while, I had everything once in MP3 but now its all FLAC thus I can 
convert to any audio format under the planet as often as required without 
any loss in quality etc.

Removing Silence from the Ends of Audio Files

[Evan Reese]

Hey Guys,
I'm downloading albums from a site, (their Creative Commons releases, so it's 
all legal), but some of the albums have quite a bit of silence at the ends of 
the tracks. One I got the other day has a bit over two minutes! of silence at 
the end of each track.

I've been told that Audacity can be used to cut off the end of the track and 
get rid of the silent part, but I don't know what else I would do with it other 
than that. It seems like overkill for me. Is there a simpler, preferably cheap 
or free, solution to removing the silence from these tracks?

Thanks for any advice.

I don't think you understand; while these players may be accessible,

they allow one to do _all_ the things that Winamp does?  Wil they, for

will they let you go in and pick up right where you left off? Windows

Player won't; at least as far as I know it won't!  Can't speak for some

the others as I've not tried them!  But this is my concern as I want to

[Evan Reese]

Exactly so. It isn't as though Winamp is just going to go poof on December 
20. I will find another player eventually, but I expect to be using Winamp 
for a while, maybe quite a while, after the updates stop. The bookmarks will 
still work, (they are often the same as those for iTunes anyway), the 
Gracenotes service will still work, so I can keep ripping CDs. I'm just 
going to keep using it until I get a compelling reason to change, such as a 
new PC with an OS that doesn't support it, or some new feature that I just 
positively must have.

think about it mate, when wibnamp shuts down, no more winamp updates. 
You'll just have to keep using the version you have now forever, or until 
there's a version of windows that no longer supports winamp, and the next 
version won't be out until at least 2015.  I'd not upgrade then, until the 
bugs are out, so another 4 or 5 years of winamp use shall be yours.

Re: ITunes Player

[Evan Reese]

Yes you can. I don't have iTunes myself, but I've been to sites that have 
links to listen to streams that are marked iTunes and (often) Winamp, both 
mentioned for the same stream. For example, you can set your Shoutcast 
streams to play in iTunes. Sometimes they're mentioned in separate links, 
but it's the same address. For instance, The Legend Oldies has a link to 
listen in Winamp and another for iTunes, but they're the same stream. I know 
because when I click on the link to play the iTunes stream, it plays in 
Winamp, and the bookmark is the same address.

Yup, I had forgotten about that because I bought the Pro version quite a 
long time ago. You can rip to m4a and a few other formats for free, but the 
free version does not allow mp3 ripping. The Pro version cost me $20. Also, 
the free version limits ripping to 8x, whereas the Pro version allows 
unlimited ripping speed.

I've just purchased a number of old-time radio shows on cd. I want to 
copy
them onto my computer. I tried copying and pasting the files but that 
did

not work.

I have Nero burning  Rom, but I can't find an option to copy a CD onto 
my
computer. I've done this with XP, but am now using Windows-7. Anybody 
got

any ideas?

Re: Looking for a Specific Type of Connector

[Evan Reese]

Yup, that is exactly what I am looking for and I found one on Amazon for 
$2.39, and free shipping. Had to make sure it was stereo though, as the 
first y cable I ffound just merged left and right channels into one female 
jack. But reading some reviews assured me that the one I ordered has stereo 
male jacks on it.

Hi,

I didn't catch the original request.  I purchased a Y-cable from Radio 
shack

last year.  It has 2 stereo mail jacks connecting to 1 female stereo jack.
So, I can connect 2 stereo audio sources to my head phones.  For example, 
I

can connect my Bookport Plus to one side and my pc to the other and listen
to both with my headphones.

Don't know if this is what you are looking for...But, it is an option.

I agree with Ken. Although what you need is a two in one out
mixer. A headphone amplifier most likely will have one input
and two or more outputs.

Your idea of having an adaptor with two inputs and one output
might work, but it could damage one or both pieces of equipment.

Hi, let me sugest this.
The best way is to get a head phone amplifier.
This arangment should only be used for inputs, because
loading in inputs is
way less.

   Hi,  It's because the outputs will not be the same in each 
device.
If you turn both of them on and loading the output of one divice will be 
ok, bacause it was made for that impedance match.

The other device might not match those phones.

Like I said one output can feed two inputs,  The other way where two 
outputs feeding the same load is not alwayse going to work.
That's why I sugested the earphone amp.  or if you need to have two 
outputs driving one  earphone   a small mixer is the best way.

The little sampson mixers  around $50  are very nice.

Looking for a Specific Type of Connector

[Evan Reese]

Hey Guys,
I want to listen to two different audio sources at the same time with my 
headphones. So I need a connector with two male eighth-inch jacks at one end, 
then several inches of cable, merging into one eighth-inch female jack at the 
other that I can plug my headphones into. Anybody know where I can find such a 
thing?

Thanks much.

Hi Bud,
Thanks for the offer. I found one on Amazon. I had to go through a number of 
items, and not all of the cables that have two male jacks and one female 
jack work in stereo. Some split a stereo signal into two mono signals. I 
wanted to have the stereo option. I finally found one that reviewers say 
actually works in stereo for both inputs. We'll see when I get it.

Unable to Rip Tracks with Winamp

[Evan Reese]

Hey Guys,

I installed Winamp Pro version 5.622 on my Fiancé's Windows 7 machine running 
JAWS 13. It's working pretty well, but something weird happens when we try to 
rip a CD. When we hit the Rip button, the CD starts playing. Then, when we hit 
the Rip All Tracks button, it brings up an error message saying that it's 
unable to rip track 1 because it is unable to find the decoder.

Anybody know what might be going on here and how to fix it? I've got the same 
version here on my Vista Home Premium machine using Window Eyes 8.2 and it 
works the way it should when I rip a CD.

Thanks for any advice.

A Couple Questions About Freemake Audio Converter

[Evan Reese]

Guys, I've installed this Freemake Audio Converter, and done some file 
conversions with it. It's (mostly) accessible with my Window Eyes 8.1, and it 
does exactly what I want it to do, that is, convert my mp3 files into m4a 
files, sounding the same but saving me on storage space. It'll even convert 
multiple files at once, so I can convert whole albums at a time. And, it 
preserves most of the audio tags. So I like the program overall and I want to 
use it. However, I just had a couple of questions:

I can't figure out how to tell it where to put the converted files. That's a 
minor annoyance, but the bigger problem is that it is making two of every 
converted file. Except for the filenames, of course, they are exactly the same, 
making the conversions twice as long and then causing me to have to delete the 
duplicates. Anyone seen this and know how to stop it, and does anyone know of a 
way to tell it where to put its converted files? There doesn't look to be any 
option for that in the menus anywhere.


Thanks much.

I don't use the audio converter but do use the video converter which will 
convert only to mp3.


so in the video converter you choose which files you want to convert then 
go to the convert menu and select which format you wish to save the files 
in. Then a dialog comes up where you can tab to change preset to change 
the quality of the file. If you keep tabbing you will come to a button 
that just says ... which is three dots. Enter on this to choose where to 
save your converted files. in the video converter the only two things in 
the dialog after this is a checkbox to import into iTunes and tab once 
more to the convert button.


I have no idea why it is putting two copies of the same song together.

Good morning Larry and Listers.

You may or may not know that Winap enables you to time jump the playback
cursor to a specific time point. If you type CTRL+J you will be prompted 
to
enter a time. For example, if you want to jump the cursor to 22 minutes 
and
35 seconds you would type 22:35 and press Enter. IF you want to jump to 
the
2 hour 28 minute mark you would type 148:00. This is because Winamp 
appears

to operate in minutes recognition mode as opposed to the hh/mm/ss format.

Alternatively, Winamp also enables time markers to be defined and to move
from one specified time marker to another, very analogous to setting
bookmarks in a digital book audio file. To set a time kmarker you would 
type

m, and to go to a preset time marker type alt+shift+M. I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Rob Tabor

Hello listers,

I sure hope someone can help me with a rather frustrating and annoying
problem when listening to large mp3 files with Winamp. I've been
experiencing this issue for longer than I should have been putting up 
with

it, but I think it is high time I finally took it to all of you reliable
experts in the field of Winamp listening g.
Anyway, the problem I'm having is this.

When listening to files up to 150 or 160mb in size, At about the halfway
point, maybe even earlier, my fast-forward and rewinding just isn't as
responsive as it is near the beginning anymore. At least I don't think I
recall having this problem until just recently. I'm just hoping that this
will be a simple problem to solve, or I guess I'll just have to learn to
live with it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Larry

Sure it will.  If you can record through a mic using a mic jack, you can 
get a cord with a resistor in it from radio shack and use that.  You can, 
if I remember right, specify the quality of mp3 the machine generates. 
You would at worst have to figure a way to cut the tape files into 
segments.  The real question is should you do this at all.  If they're 
personal tapes, go for it.  But commercial tapes usually don't hold up 
well.  You have heard the tapes and know what condition they're in, of 
course.  My wife's commercial tapes were so bad after years that there was 
no way I could tune the recorder to get the best sound because there was 
no best sound.  Personal tapes usually have better quality.

Good luck.
Btw, make sure it's a stereo cable if the recordings are stereo.
Good luck.

Thanks Vicky, unfortunately, she doesn't have a Plextalk. She does have a 
Book Sense, but I don't think it will do anything similar to what you

Hi Evan, Does your girl friend have a Plextalk? If yes, she can hook it up 
to a cassette player, with a patch cord and record the casette to the 
flash card of the Plextalk. Then tell the Plextalk to convert that Daisy 
recording to CDDA format and it will record this onto a blank disk. She 
can then put this disk in her computer and import it. Although the music 
will now be on the computer, she will need to find it and rename each 
track, which will just be listed as Track 1 and so on.

I recently transferred a slew of music and spoken word cassettes from  an
APH talking book cassette player with a wire-like cable with 
one-eighth-inch

jacks at each end and the microphone jack of my computer. APH's cassette
players were reasonably high quality. Initially there was some guesswork
involved in getting the cassette player volume right, but after that it 
went

smoothly.

I used the software application GoldWave to record and edit the files.
GoldWave is free for the first numerous uses, after which there is a price
tag of something like $30 or $40 US. The GoldWave manual is pretty good. 
If

Re: JAWS Scripts for Winamp?

[Evan Reese]

Hi Rob, this sounds really cool. I need to check it out. The only hitch I 
see is that you mention Winamp 5.63, which sounds like the free version. I 
bought, and installed, the Pro version 5.622 because it will let her rip 
mp3s, which the free version will not. If Ninite will let me install the Pro 
version then I will absolutely use it. If not, then unfortunately, as cool 
as it sounds, I can't use it for installing Winamp.


Thanks again.

Good morning,

Another way to get rid of the Winamp toolbar is to uninstall Winamp then
reinstall it via Ninite, an web-based unintended installer and program
updater. A major advantage of using of Ninite is that it automatically 
says

no to toolbars and other unwanted components during its installation
process. Also the Ninite installer is placed on the desktop so you can run
it from there when you are advised that a program update is available. 
Many

other programs are available for installation on Ninite including Adobe
Flash, Adobe Reader, and Audacity. The link to access the Ninite installer
for Winamp is http://www.ninite.com/winamp/
From there you can easily find the link to download the Ninite installer 
for
Winamp Version 5.63. So have fun using Ninite. Your non-techie friends 
will

think you are a genious. smile
HTH and best regards,

Thanks Alex. Well, the problems started during the installation.
Firstly, unlike my Window Eyes, JAWS wouldn't tell me which check
marks were checked in the library section. Hitting the spacebar where
I knew the check marks had to be gave me no response. So I had to take
the default settings. Also, unlike Window Eyes, I didn't get any
chance to uncheck the Winamp toolbar and the 50 free mp3 files and
whatever else is in that final dialogue box. I tried to find them, but
couldn't read anything in there. So I think the Winamp toolbar must be
running. That may be part of the problem, but I don't know how to
uninstall it, or even whether it can be uninstalled without
reinstalling Winamp, which would take me back to the initial problem.
It doesn't read the bookmarks correctly, meaning that when you arrow
down through them, it doesn't just read the titles, but often reads
the urls that go with the titles. So something isn't running properly
with those scripts. I went into the preferences section and made sure
it was on the classic skin, but who knows? The way JAWS reads things
in Winamp, or doesn't as the case may be, I don't know for sure if
it's running the bento skin, which seems to be the default, or the 
classic

skin.


Can I get rid of the Winamp toolbar without reinstalling? If so, that
may perhaps help the situation. If not, then I don't know how to
install this thing correctly with JAWS 13 so it runs as accessibly as it

can.

Re: Problem with Hope for Pandora, No Response from Support

[Evan Reese]

Well, she had a version of Hope on her old XP system, but it wasn't 
transferred onto the new system by the person that was hired to take care of 
all that stuff. That old copy of Hope didn't ask her for login info either. 
If she set up an account on Pandora, then it was a long time ago and there's 
no way she would recall the username or password she used to set that up. 
She tried registering with the new version, but it keeps saying that the 
registration failed and that she should try new credentials. I did some 
playing around with Pandora years ago before Hope was developed, so I did 
have an account already set up; although I have no idea what my username and 
password are for that now.


So basically, if I understand correctly, we need to go to Pandora itself and 
either recover her old username and password, or create a new account. Then 
use those to log into the account. Then Hope will log her in automatically 
after that. Do I have that right?


Thanks much.

You definitely need to log into Pandora with Hope. If you're not being
prompted, that's probably because Hope remembers your log in
information. If this is a new install of Hope then you will need to log
into Pandora at least once or create a new account. If you're trying to
use the same account information, such as the same user ID, then it will
fail. As you said, try going to the Pandora page to retrieve the log in
information or try to register with a different account name.

Problem with Hope for Pandora, No Response from Support

[Evan Reese]

Hey Guys, I helped my girlfriend install Hope on her new Windows 7 PC last 
Friday. She paid her $15 and downloaded the program. Then she got the email and 
entered the activation code, and the program said that it was activated. The 
problem is that now it keeps asking her for her username and password. It won't 
run without that. When she bought the program she was never told that she 
needed those, much less given them. (I have a copy of Hope as well, but it 
doesn't ask me for a username or password. It just logs me in.)

I wrote to the address for support last Friday evening and am still waiting for 
a response. I gave them her email address so they would know what account I was 
referring to. I have yet to receive a response. Thinking they might have 
written her directly instead of me, we have been checking her inbox as well, 
but no response there either.

Does anyone here know either how to solve this problem of Hope asking for login 
info, or if not, how to get a response from support?

Thanks for any advice.
