The Battery in my NLS player is down to around 8 
hours, now.  I don't know why they can't solve the battery life issue.

I read quite a lot and while at home, in my 
opinion, nothing beats the NLS player, with its 
good sound, long-lasting battery, although the 
battery life, that begins at 40 hours, slowly 
degrades to about 16 with prolonged use.  The 
Iphone of course, is also excellent for 
listening to BARD books, but with so many other 
apps on the Iphone and now with unlimited data, 
plus texting and the telephone itself, I prefer 
to also take the Milestone 312 for the books.


The problem is that we are slowly  becoming pack 
horses, when you take into consideration that 
when travelling, I normally take my Iphone, 
Milestone, Olympus, ORCAM, laptop and CPap machine.


Everything could be improved of course.  The NLS 
players could solve the battery-life issue plus 
add Bluetooth capability;  the Milestone could 
add Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and an antenna for the FM 
radio, for now it uses the wire of the 
headphones as antenna; the ORCAM should be able to save the text it scans, etc.

Cool. Yes I've red that the new 1 has a radio. I'm glad it's so much
better then my 311. So you'd say it's worth it then? Cause I've never
seen 1 and wasn't sure how much of an upgrade it is. As for the NLS
player. I too have 1. It's cool looking. Don't use it as often though.
What with the app being on my phone.

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.

RE: Program for general recording on the PC needed.

2013-07-20 Thread john schwery
Rob, the problem I see is that an external synth will not work for 
other audio.  Or, perhaps, I don't know how to make an external synth 
play other audio.


earlier, Rob Tabor, wrote:

Good morning Dave and list members,

An external synth is certainly a workable solution to your recording
dilemma. However, if you go that route I would advise you to use your sound
card to run JAWS and use the external synth for other audio for the simple
reason that if you lose speech it will be much easier to rule out hardware
failure as a cause. For example, if you hear Windows system warning sounds
you will be able to rule out hardware failure if you have JAWS configured to
run on the system's internal soundcard. Conversely,  it will be much harder
to rule out hardware failure if JAWS is configured to run on the plugin
speech box. It's just a thought to ponder and I hope it helps.

Best regards,

 Yes.A usb sound card for speech is a good idea.  You can even get usb
 digital speakers that are fine with Jaws such as the Palo Alto Audio
 Design Musik Digital Multimedia Speakers  for arounf $50.  Or a usb
 sound bar for laptops.  Be sure it acts as a sound card as well as
 drawing power from usb.  This is the simplest solution I've found.  I
 did have a problem with Jaws not responding or speaking quickly if it
 hadn't been talking for a while but somehow that is fixed.

 They are not good for music having no bass or treble but pretty good
 with speech.

 buy pressing insert plus space (before recording) and the same

2012-11-20 Thread john schwery

Geoff, thanks for the explanation.  Now, I know why I'm having volume problems.

earlier, Geoff Eden, wrote:

Okay, here we go.

Both your sound card and your triple talk have similar small chip 
amplifiers that are, essentially, current pumps.  When you put two 
of them pumping to the same output, electronically speaking, they 
see each other and the impedance, (resistance) of the circuit 
changes significantly for both amplifiers and their output will 
change accordingly.  As two things are never exactly the same, one 
will tend to dominate and the other be suppressed.


The solution is to isolate the two audio output streams.  If you 
don't, eventually you risk burning out one of the amplifier chips.


If you have the skill you could create a small circuit board and 
isolate the two output circuits from each other with, probably 10K resistors.


If you don't have the skill, then purchase a very low-cost mixer and 
put both channels into it and feed a small amplifier.  Some mixers 
actually come with an earphone amplifier built into them.


I can't make a recommendation, as the mixer I own is overkill and 
costs about $200.  I would bet with a little hunting you can find 
something for less than 50.


Perhaps somebody here on the list can make a mixer recommendation.

Re: please recommend good wireless headphones

I like the Sennheiser rs120 wireless

still get a good signal.  K-Mart has them for 
around $70.  You may have to order them online as 
the local stores may not have them.

They have an on/off switch and connect to a sound 
source with an audio cable, not USB.  The audio 
cable has 2 rca plugs.  There are 2 adapter 
supplied.  One adapter is 2 rca female plugs to 1 
eighth mini plug.  And the other adapter is a 
quarter inch male to a female eighth mini jack.

My questions are, the books that I get in the

previous and next buttons to move from chapter to chapter.
But within the books that I download from the 
Bard Talk website, using the next button gets 
you from the beginning to the end of the book.
Why is it that I can move from chapter to 
chapter in the books that comes to me in the mail?
And, why can't I move from chapter to chapter 
in the books that I download from the Bard Talk website?

Thinks in advance.

books [was saving and playingaudiobooks from my NLS player]



Yes, this is how I have my music organized on 
my booksense, my Rockbox player and my PC. On 
my NLS cartridge, and on the USB memory stick I 
used to use with my DTBM, I found I had to 
place my MP3's in the Audio+Podcasts so I could 
move from MP3 file to file on the DTBM. Also, 
as I said in a previous note, your BARD books 
can go in any directory, as long as you have 
one book per directory. Looks like the advice I 
got on using the $DTB folder came from a Victor 
Stream user. Here's what it says on the BARD 
Talk FAQ at http://www.bardtalk.com/faq.php:


12. Can I move a thumb drive with NLS books 
between my third party reading device and my 
DTB player and have it work with both?
Answer: Yes. The NLS dtbm will locate any NLS 
books on your thumb drive regardless of the 
folder names in which they are placed. If your third party reading
device requires the NLS books to be in a 
certain folder, you should place them branching 
off that folder if you plan to listen to them using both the dtbm
and your third party reader. For example, if 
your third party reader is a Victor Reader 
Stream, you would place the NLS books in subfolders below $VRDTB
on your thumb drive so you could listen to them 
on both the NLS dtbm and your Stream. Remember 
that bookmarks including your current reading position are
stored on the individual device and will not 
transfer when you switch the media between reading devices.

13. Where do I put MP3 files I want to listen to on my DTB player?
Answer: Create a folder on your thumb drive or 
a writable cartridge called: audio+podcasts. 
Note, when creating this folder, use the + sign between audio
and podcasts. Additional folders may be created 
under that main folder. Mp3 files will be 
played sequentially based on their file names. the NLS dtbm will
not announce the names of the files because it 
does not have a built in text to speech engine.

Tom, what do you mean it doesn't fit the machine? There's a USB port on the
right hand side of the machine, it's about half way to the back, right
behind the headphone jack. When the machine is shipped, it'll be covered
with a small plastic cap. The cap just pops off, and the flash drive should
plug into that port with no problem. A flash drive can only go in one way,
so if you're having trouble with it, you may want to flip it over. Good
luck.

I'm not sure what you already have Tom since you didn't include the
message you're replying to, but if you're talking about the cable
needed to connect a blank NLS cartridge to your PC then you need a
standard USB extension cable. This will have a full sized male
connector at one end and a full size female connector at the other
end. Note that due to the housing on the NLS cartridge, many USB
extension cables aren't going to work, and you may find it best to buy
a cable from ILA, APH or Perkins especially designed to work with the
NLS cartridges.

I know this has all been discussed on this list before, but I just saw
this message today and figured I better clarify. Also, as mentioned on
this list, the BARD Talk web site is a treasure trove of good
information. It's also well organized and well thought out. I think it
will clarify a lot and won't appear as contradictory as separate posts
to a mailing list may seem to be.

I have a $dtb folder on my cartridge because I 
let the Humanware Companion transfer my books.  I 
also have an audio+podcasts folder on that cartridge and have no trouble.


earlier, Christopher Chaltain, wrote:

Well, I'm not sure what to say. I don't recall seeing any instructions that
involve a $DTB folder on the NLS player. If I saw any such instructions, I
either assumed the person knew what they were talking about, were talking
about another player (such as the Victor Stream, which I don't have) or I
just didn't pay too much attention since it was already working for me. BTW,
I don't know that using a $DTB folder doesn't work.

If you want to try what works for me you can. Otherwise, maybe someone else
can help you.

As I said before, I don't use a $DTB folder. Both on my blank NLS cartridge
and my USB flash drive, I extract my BARD books directly into their root
directories. This means I get one folder per book, and these folders are in
the root directory.

I also have an Audio+Podcasts folder in the root directory. I drop my MP3's
into this folder.

I have a standard player, so when I hold down the play/pause key I end up in
my bookshelf, and I can use my forward and rewind keys to select the user's
guide, any of the books I have and Audio Files. It sounds like you have
the advanced player, so you can get to the user's guide with the info key.

If I select the Audio Files entry in my book shelf, I hear the first MP3
start to play. Now I can use the forward and rewind buttons to move through
that MP3 file and jump to the next file in the folder.

Like I said this works for me. I too am following instructions I got from
another list, plus a little bit of trial and error.

Well, I'm a tiny bit confused with what you're doing. For my DTBM from NLS,
I extract each book I download from BARD into it's own folder in the root

Audio+Podcasts folder, which is also in the root of the flash drive or
Audio+NLS
cartridge.

Now when I hold down the play/pause key and go into the Bookshelf, I can go
to any of the books I've downloaded, the user's guide or the Audio+Podcasts
folder, which shows up as a single book. Each MP3 in that folder is like a
different chapter in that book.

I do not have a $DTB folder anywhere, which is why I'm thinking we may be
talking about two different things and why I'm a bit confused.

Hi John.

The player will play 3gp, wav and mp3 files.  I'm thinking of those three
right off, I may be forgetting one, though.  These files need to be in a
folder called audio+podcasts which is on the root of the drive.  You can put
subfolders under this to organize them.  The player won't announce the
folders, but when you're in bookshelf mode you'll be able to navigate to
them.

As for playing files in stereo, this may or may not be true.  I say this,
because earlier firmware updates to the player didn't play files in stereo.
You need to have version 2.1 or later of the firmware, and it will play
files in stereo.  To find out your player's version, with no media in it,
press the sleep button ten times quickly until you hear the serial number
being announced.  Once this announcement starts, just wait, and you'll hear
the version of your player's firmware announced.  My player has version
2.1.3 of the firmware on it.

To download NLS books for your player, you need to be signed up with the NLS
site.  To do this, go to

https://nlsbard.loc.gov

and click on the link on that page.  Since you have an NLS player, you'll be
able to get this service.  It's nice to download books from the site, and
anything you get on a cartridge from your library will be on the NLS site.

By the way, you may want to call your local library and tell them you want
digital books on cartridge sent to you.  I had to do this for myself, and in
fact I had to call them again to jolt things into action.  I should be
getting my first NLS book from my library any day now.

There is an email list that is specificly set up for the NLS player.  You
can find out how to subscribe to it, as well as have some of your questions
answered.  Go to

http://bardtalk.com

If you have any other questions, let me know.

 Hi John.

 I'm guessing here, but the San Disc drive may not be totally
 compatible with the NLS player.  People have reported problems with
 this brand of drive.
 I
 tried hooking up an SD reader to my player, and it sort of worked.  I
 was able to play part of an NLS book, but then the player would say I
 had reached the end of it.  I didn't get a cartridge error, though.

 People have reported good results with the Kingston brand of flash
 drive, and I purchased a LEXAR 4 gig drive that works fine with the
 player.  Keep in mind, however, that the player is mainly designed to
 work with the cartridges designed for it.  You can get blank 2 gig
 cartridges from

 http://www.aph.org

 These are more expensive than flash drives, and they don't hold as much.
 I've decided to use them, because I know they work with the NLS
 player, and they fit into the front of it with little effort.

 If you have any other questions, let me know.

But then, it stops and gives me a cartridge error message.
But when I plug my wife's MP3 player in to it, 
the machine  plays the files off of it without any problems.
My question is, why does it act like that with 
my Sand Disc USB flash drive and not my wife's MP3 player?

Subject: RE: DIGITAL TALKING BOOK PLAYER QUESTION



Hi John.

The player will play 3gp, wav and mp3 files.  I'm thinking of those three
right off, I may be forgetting one, though.  These files need to be in a
folder called audio+podcasts which is on the root of the drive.  You can put
subfolders under this to organize them.  The player won't announce the
folders, but when you're in bookshelf mode you'll be able to navigate to
them.

As for playing files in stereo, this may or may not be true.  I say this,
because earlier firmware updates to the player didn't play files in stereo.
You need to have version 2.1 or later of the firmware, and it will play
files in stereo.  To find out your player's version, with no media in it,
press the sleep button ten times quickly until you hear the serial number
being announced.  Once this announcement starts, just wait, and you'll hear
the version of your player's firmware announced.  My player has version
2.1.3 of the firmware on it.

To download NLS books for your player, you need to be signed up with the NLS
site.  To do this, go to

https://nlsbard.loc.gov

and click on the link on that page.  Since you have an NLS player, you'll be
able to get this service.  It's nice to download books from the site, and
anything you get on a cartridge from your library will be on the NLS site.

By the way, you may want to call your local library and tell them you want
digital books on cartridge sent to you.  I had to do this for myself, and in
fact I had to call them again to jolt things into action.  I should be
getting my first NLS book from my library any day now.

There is an email list that is specificly set up for the NLS player.  You
can find out how to subscribe to it, as well as have some of your questions
answered.  Go to

http://bardtalk.com

If you have any other questions, let me know.

Subject: DIGITAL TALKING BOOK PLAYER QUESTION



Hello List members,
I just received a new digital talking book player in the mail.
I have a few questions about it.
For starters, this machine can play files from a USB flash drive.
What kind of format will those files need to be 
in an order for this machine to play them?

I haven't tried this yet, but can this thing play in stereo?
It has a monaural speaker built in to it.
But I'm asking about its headphone jack.
I have seen some digital playback equipment 
that had mono speakers built in to them before.
But when you plug a pare of headphones in to 
them, the sound came out in stereo.

Is this digital talking book player one of those machines that can do this?
Thinks in advance.
My best regards.
 John.
PS. Where is a good website to download digital talking books?

I ordered 2 blank NLS talking book cartridges from APH.org
today. I will use these cartridges to download talking books
and magazines from NLS online service. I don't like to use
USB flash drives.

Can any of you describe what the NLS talking book cartridges
look like and what kind of USB cable do I need to use to
connect this to my computer's USB port in order to transfer
the downloaded books. I understand it will show up as a
removable drive in My Computer or Computer area. No problem
there. No problem moving/copying it to the cartridge and then
inserting the cardtridge into the NLS Talking Book player. I
called my local library to see if the player was available
and it was. I got the advanced model. I heard a very good
podcast about this player on blindcooltech.com if you want to
learn more about it. Right now I am waiting for the unit and
never touch one of these cartridges.

Robert, the cartridges are about 3 inches long, 2 
inches wide and about 3/8 of an inch thick.  They 
are flat on the top side and the bottom side has 
some beveling on some of the edges.  There is a 
finger hole on one end and the other end, with 
the connection goes into the player.  You will 
need a USB extension cable to go between the cartridge and your puter.

Assuming you have the current version of the firmware, hold down the
play
button for several seconds. The player will speak. You can then
switch
between books by pressing the left and right arrows either side of
the play
button. When you hear the title you're looking for, press play as
you
normally would (not for several seconds) either once or twice and it
will
start.

Re: Seeking USB/analog turntable recommendations

Randy, then, I don't understand how you use it?  How do you record 
with the turn table?  I would think some sort of software would need 
to be used.

The thing worked okay although I don't really fiddle with it much.
What I did run into to my great disgust was not being able to get to
my radio station of choice.  I called their customer service line and
vented a bit.  It seems they were unprepared for the volume of folks
clicking on the Mets v. Reds game on WFAN.  The media player would pop
up and there would be no place for email address and password.  I
selected the Spanish network and it did come through and then played
the game en Espanol.  Then the Reds radio network also came in fine.
So I tried WFAN again and nothing!  I asked the poor chap on the
telephone How can you not be prepared for Opening Day?!  I told him
it was not his fault, but that the upper managers needed a whack on
the head for this outrage.  I am considering a letter to the Clown
Prince of Baseball, Bud Selig.  Then again what will he do?

Here's what to do to get it to work.  It is a bit twisted, and I do hope the

Go to

Look for the word log on the page.  You'll get to the login link.

Enter your user name and password and hit the submit button.

Now you'll be logged into the site.

Get to where you enter a URL, and enter

http://mlb.com/mediacenter

This will bring up the table of available games.  Choose the one you want,
and enjoy it.

I know you should be able to look for the word audio on the page and click

above, and it worked for me.

Hope this is useful.

 Hi listers.

 As I write this I'm listening to the Dodgers and Phillies playoff series
 that happened in October of last year.  I had no problem accessing the
 calendar on the web site, and I found the game I wanted to hear.  The
 audio
 isn't the best, but it's accessible.  A word of warning.  I did have
 trouble
 accessing the page from the mlb home page.  I called them up, and was able
 to get there.  To make things easier for you, here's the link to use to
 get
 there.

 http://mlb.com/mediacenter

 The first table will list today's games.  Above this table is the link to
 open the calendar, which is totally accessible with Jaws 10.

 That's about it from here.  Hopefully mlb.com won't do what they did a
 couple of years ago and change things on opening day.

Must say Dave, simply from my impressions of the ION USB turntable I saw,
the build quality didn't seem impressive so I'm inclined to think these
turntables are very basic performers technically.

I'd much sooner go for a Hi Fi turntable with magnetic cartridge and a good
pre-amp.  These cost!

Either that or consider using a company doing vinyl transfer as a paid-for
service.

After all is said though, depends entirely on how critical you are about
sound quality.  I've yet to start transfering my treasured vinyls but I know
it is going to be time-consuming.

Hope these thoughts are of some help.

Well, there were such things as Music Centres - as we called them here in
Brittain - which combined turntables with cassette decs.  Still we're
talking 'old' here, and I guess you want a USB hardware device that does the
two.

I've not seen an USB combi anywhere for transfering old anoalogue stuff.  I
know here a brand called ION  has seemingly cornered the market in three
seperate units  that do vinyl records, audio cassettes, and VHS videos.  So
I if you've not held on to the various old stuff that could have done this
via hooking through a converter, then this is the only way to go.

it had a nice chart which nicely elaborated reception expectations at

Also part of the package are a number of schools offering their feeds for

Schools that are free include Florida, Tennessee,
TCU, Texas, Richmond, Arizona, Middle Tennessee,
North Carolina State, and Kentucky.

To see a 7-day schedule, visit

A number of teams stream via over-the-air stations.  Examples that

Mike, how much is the Yahoo package?

That's interesting about Iowa.  Iowa is also a part of the Yahoo
subscription package though I suspect that the CSTV one you have likely
covers more sports particularly the so-called minor ones.

  ok!  This is truly weird.
 
  I was listening this afternoon to the White Sox-Angels game on Gameday
  Audio using Firefox.
  I was in the start menu and accidentally hit a l and was suddenly
  logged
  off.
  The pc has only one user account.
 
  I
  returned but thereafter, despite subsequent reboots and shutdowns, was
  unable to successfully click station links in Gameday Audio using either
  Firefox or IE6.
  Everything else, both on the mlb.com site and elsewhere, is working fine.
  Even the MLB Minor League Audio links work fine.
  And everything on the multimedia page, except for the station links,
  works
  as expected.
 
  So here is what happens when using each of the browsers and attempting to
  click on WGN for the Cubs game or, earlier today, WSCR for the White Sox
  game.
 
  And for any other station, for that matter.
 
  In Firefox, nothing happens when clicking
  on a station link.
  If I hit ctrl+n, I am returned to my Firefox Homepage.
 
 
  In IE6 if I hit the return key on the link, , I am returned to the same
  page with the link count slightly varied.
  Same goes with ctrl+n.
 
 
 
  This definitely is not a Silverlight issue as I confirmed that it is
  successfully installed.
  All other audio works flawlessly including the
  MLB's minor league game site.
 
  I checked another pc and Gameday works fine there.
 
  Any ideas anyone.

can't get games on game day audio

2008-04-02 Thread John Schwery
I can no longer listen to games on the MLB, Game Day Audio.  This 
problem started last Saturday.  I installed Silver Light, hoping that 
would solve the problem.  I did a Windows repair, but didn't 
help.  After clicking on a radio station, the game will not 
load.  Sometimes, I get the log on screen and sometimes not.  I 
usually get lines like, waiting on mlb.mlb.com, read gdx.mlb.com and 
some others.  Refreshing the page doesn't help.  I have tried closing 
the player window and clicking the station again.  I called MLB 
support and they don't know the answer.  The games come in on my 
wife's pc but not mine.  I have tried both Fire Fox and Explorer.  WE 
have a dsl connection and Belkin router.  My connection is wired and

Mike, I don't understand how your link works.  I saved one that you 
posted earlier.  When I go to that link in Fire Fox, I get the games 
for March 23.

earlier, Mike Pietruk, wrote:

Patrick

One suggestion which I have used for as long as I can remember.
Bookmark the multimedia page and go to it directly.
The link doesn't change from day to day so you can by-pass those previous
steps and be directly on the page for selecting a game.
I've even made this simpler for myself by creating a hotkey for the
purpose.

Mike, I accessed your link from your post and didn't bookmark anything.

Here is the link I always use:

mlb baseball Multimedia Guide
http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mediacenter/index.jsp

When I click on that right now, I am shown today's games.

What I bet you did is access that page on March 23, used ctrl-d, and
bookmarked that way.  What you did, if that's what you did, was bookmark a
specific date and not the general link.
You must bookmark

can't listen to games on game day audio

2008-03-31 Thread John Schwery
I can't get any games on game day audio.  After clicking on a station 
link, the media window seems to load partially and sit there.  It 
says either transferring data from mlb.mlb.com or something about 
gdx.mlb.com.  It doesn't load far enough for me to log in.  It 
doesn't work in either ie or fire fox.  Any ideas as how to fix this?

I haven't registered.  Do I need to do that?

So I'm assuming you're going to http://www.ncaasports.com/mmod/welcome

Internet Explorer. Getting it to work with Firefox is a bit tricky.

On the above URL, you'll see the following:

March Madness On Demand
Click here
  to launch the video player and begin watching live games!

You need to click on the link Click here.

On the next page, you'll get a series of tables, one for each game that
day. You need to click on the text graphic Watch Now!. I use a right
mouse click with JFW. You may be able to hit enter on it, but it doesn't
show up as a link or any other kind of object you can click on.

I think this is pulling the video as well as the audio. I don't know if
you can get just the audio stream or not. I haven't spent that much time
messing with it. This thing called work keeps getting in the way! I'm
sure others smarter than me have figured out easier ways to get at this.

Re: retrieving files from a floppy disc

2007-11-02 Thread John Schwery
Bob, sometimes, if you keep re-trying to read the disk you might be 
able to see the files.  Or, if you have access to another pc, that pc 
might be able to read the disk.

Does anyone out there know of a program that will open up a floppy

the new winamp the other day. That was the only change that has been 
made to this computer of late.

Re: recording with cdex.

2007-08-18 Thread John Schwery
Just a couple of notes.  Wen entering an email address, you may enter 
any address, even a phony or old one.  When ripping tracks from a cd, 
by default all tracks are selected.

earlier, Kenneth Suratt, wrote:


CDex Version 1.51

This is a great little program that can do several things, plus, it is very
easy to use. Another good plus to this program is that you need no scripts
or
anything to make it work with Jaws for Windows. You can use the program to
rip music files from a CD, convert existing sound files to MP3 files, and
record
audio from an external device through your line in jack on the back of your
system. You will find step by step instructions on how to do all of the
following,
plus how to set the program up after installing it below. If you haven't yet
downloaded the program and installed it on your system, then just hit enter
on the following link to download
Cdex 1.51.

How to for Cdex 1.51

Setting up the program for the first time
Selecting a bit rate for ripping
Creating a file format for ripping
Ripping music files from a CD
Selecting multi files from a CD
Selecting all files from a CD
Converting wav files to MP3 or MP3 files to Wav
Recording from a external device

Setting up the program for the first time

There are a few settings that must be set once the program is installed.
Follow the below steps to set the program up and get it ready to use.
1. Start the program and hit F4 to open the Cdex configuration dialog box.
2. By default you are on the encoder tab. Control tab until you hear, remote
CDDB tab.
3. Tab once and you should hear, your email address: edit. Enter your email
address.
4. Tab about four times until you hear, auto connect to remote CDDB checkbox
not checked. Hit the space bar to check the checkbox.
5. Now control tab until you hear, file names tab.
6. You should be automatically put in the file name format edit box. This is
where you can choose how your file name is created using things like artist
name, album name, track number and etc. If you plan on ripping Music from a
CD, then this is where you tell Cdex how you want your file names created.
Below is what each %Number stands for and some examples. You can either
leave it the way it is with the default setting, use one of the examples, or
create
your own.

Here is what each %Number stands for:
%1, artist name
%2, Album name
%3, track #
%4, track name (song title)
%5, CD volume ID
%6, CDDB ID
%7, track # leading 0
%8, total # of tracks
%Y, album year
%G, genre
\, can be used to specify folder directories

Some Examples using the above items:
%1\%2\%7-%4 (default), creates the following output, Artist folder\Album
folder\track # starting with 0-track name.wav or MP3.
%1\%2\%4 creates the following output, Artist folder\Album folder\Track
name.wav or MP3.
%1-%2-%3 creates the following output file name, Artist name-Album
name-track #.wav or MP3.
%1\%1-%4 creates the following output, artist folder\Artist name-track
name.wav or MP3.
7. Tab two times and you will be in an edit box with a directory. This is
the directory where your wav and MP3 files will be saved. To change the
directory
just hit enter on the directory name and it will bring up a computer tree
view. Use your up and down arrows to navigate the tree view, and the right
and
left arrows to open folders. Once you are where you want wav files to be
saved, tab to the okay button and hit enter.
8. Tab one time and you will be in an edit box that displays the directory
where recorded files will be saved. To change the directory just hit enter
on
the directory name and it will bring up a computer tree view so you can
select where you want recorded files to be saved. Once you have chosen the
directory,
just tab to the okay button and hit enter.
9. Your done setting up the program. Just tab to the OK button and hit
enter.

Selecting a bit rate for ripping

The bit rate is the quality at which you will rip the songs from the CD.
The default bit rate is 128, but you can select any bit rate between 32 kbs
and
320 kbs.  For ripping audio tracks from a CD, I would recommend 128 kbs or
above.  Most people use anywhere from 128 kbs to 192 kbs.  To change the bit
rate for ripping, do the following:

1. Open the CDex program.
2. Hit f4 to bring up the configuration dialog box.
3. You should land in the encoder page, but if not hit control tab until you
are in the encoder page.
4.  Tab four to five times until you hear, bit rate combo box 128 kbs.
5. Now you can arrow up and down to change the bit rate to whatever you
like.
6. Tab to the OK button and hit the space bar.  Your done!

Creating a file format for ripping

This is where you can choose how your file name is created using things like
artist name, album name, track number and etc. If you plan on ripping Music
from a CD, then this is where you tell Cdex how you want your file names
created. Below is what each %Number stands for and some examples. You can

mp3sparks, previewing full album?

On all of mp3, I used to be able to preview a full album.  On 
mp3sparks, the player window appears, and just sits there, trying to

  i-tunes.  Music will be free of any copy protection so will be able to
  play
  on any mp3 player and they hope to have over 12,000 record labels signed
  up
  within a short time.  Can't tell you anything about formats yet.  Given

Someone asked why the words pc audio are extra verbiage, when one 
considers if all lists would have the name in the subject line, it 
adds up.  Keep the names out of subject lines and learn to filter messages.

Re: comprehensive mp3music site?

Cornell, is that f for search a JFW command?  I use Window Eyes.

earlier, Cornell Ligon, wrote:

HI John,
When you go to their homepage, just hit f for 
the search box and type in your inquiry. With 
that said, once the page loads with options 
according to your search, it’s probably easiest 
to hit the letter h for headings until you get 
to the list of music files, artists or whatever. 
It’s relatively easy to use, but a bit much to 
go through until you get through their format.
You can also search music according to genre, decades, album, artist and etc…
HTH.

P.S.
All their files once purchased are your’s to do 
whatever you want and their all recorded in 320 
kbs, which is supposedly cd quality. You can 
burn, transfer or whatever how many times you 
like, and if for whatever reason the music files 
are lost, they keep a history of all your music 
downloaded so you can reretrieve the tracks.
You don’t have to join to listen to files, but 
it may be worth to take advantage of the free 
trial period. Their files are the easiest to use 
via computer and screenreader than any other 
site I’ve been to, but because they have such a 
large selection, mostly independents, it can be 
a bit much to navigate through until you get more acclimated to using the site.
HTH!

Cornell
