Hi Alex:
Hope this is what you need:
Saving a streaming link as a Favorite.
By saving a streaming link as a favorite, you can go directly
to it from the favorites menu instead of having to go to the page
then select the link.
Volume Control.
The media player volume controls are:
Louder: ENTER with dots 4-6
Softer: ENTER with dots 1-3
The speech volume is still the "master volume", so if you adjust
the speech volume, the media player volume will change relative
to it.
The Media Player volume commands are also mentioned in the last
two items of the Options Menu.
If you wish to increase the relative volume of the voice to the
Media Player, that is, you want to make the speech louder or
softer without making the Media Player louder or softer at the
same time, you can adjust it independently by pressing BACKSPACE
with ENTER with R, then select "Speech Volume Level?" Select a
number between 1 and 5, 5 being the loudest. The default setting
is 3.
Stereo and Mono Outputs.
When listening to the media player over stereo headphones or
through a set of stereo speakers, the audio track will play in
stereo.
The built-in speaker is mono. Recordings made will also be in
mono.
Playlist files
The Media Player supports the use of M3U playlist files. These
files define a playlist of MP3 files that must also be either on
your BrailleNote BT or an inserted storage card for the playlist
to work. To use an M3U file, open it in the same way as you
would any other media file.
Any file paths defined in the M3U file will need to point to
the location of the MP3 files. If an existing M3U file has file
paths relative to a PC, you would need to open the M3U file
either on your BrailleNote BT or on your PC in Notepad and edit
the file paths to reflect the location on the BrailleNote BT. If
the M3U file is in the same folder as the MP3 files to which it
refers, you don't need to include any file path at all, just the
file names.
Alternatively, it is easy to create an M3U file in Keyword. If
this interests you, follow the steps below:
Before you start, you need to know the location of the media
files you wish to include in the playlist.
1. Create a new ASCII text document in KeyWord. When prompted
for a file name, add the dot m3u suffix to the name you give it.
As stated above, it is easiest if you save the M3U file into the
same folder as the MP3 files listed in it.
2. In the document, you have two options:
a) Type or paste in the file name of the MP3 including the file
extension e.g. Purple Rain dot mp3. Or,
but) If required, type or paste in the file path to the first
file, ending with its file name including the file extension, for
example: backslash Flash Disk\My Music
3. Go to the next line by pressing ENTER and repeat, so that
each track is listed on its own line.
4. When you've added all the tracks you want to include in the
playlist, press SPACE with S.
Your playlist is now ready to use.
Playlist Commands.
While running an m3u playlist, you might want to skip a track
or go back to a previous track. The commands are:
Return to previous track: SPACE with dots 2-3
Go to next track: SPACE with dots 5-6
All of the other media player commands also work when playing
m3u files.
Information on your media file.
There are two types of information available about your media
file as it is playing -- track information and elapsed time.
Track Information.
You can check out file information while playing a media file.
The list of information will vary depending on what type of file
you are playing; for example, when streaming audio, there is no
track length to report, and likewise with an M3U file, which may
not have the track lengths specified in it. The available items
of information in order is Title, Track Length, Sample rate and
bit rate. Time is given as hhccmmccss.
For example:
Title: Sampleddmp3
Track length: 0:1:1
Sample rate: 44100 Hertz
Bit rate: 128 kbps.
To access this information, press SPACE with I. To pass from
one item to the next, press SPACE. To go back to the previous
item, press BACKSPACE. To exit from the information at any
point, press SPACE with E.
Elapsed time.
You can also find out the elapsed time, that is, how long the
track has been playing and the total length of the track. To
access this information, press SPACE with wh sign (dots 1-5-6).
Time is given as hhccmmccss.
For example: Elapsed time: 0:0:27 of 0:1:1
16.1.11 Changing Tasks.
Having set a track to play, if you then wish to work on a
different task while playing it in the background, either press
the hotkey combination for the new task, for example BACKSPACE
with ENTER with P for Planner, or return to the main menu by
pressing SPACE with dots 1 through to 6 and take it from there.
The hotkey combination for returning to the Media player is
BACKSPACE with ENTER with M.
