Hello Friends, I have a most unusual request, and I'll explain why.
Because I am on the wrong side of the generation gap, most if not all of my CDs are too old to be listed on a database such as free db. I need to demonstrate a cd player in a few days; and in order to demonstrate its ability to use its ability to retrieve album info from a database, I need a cd new enough to qualify. Therefore, I am writing to request that someone on this list send me either an iso image or preferably a Nero nrg image of any cd which you know is listed in the free db database. I would suggest that you use something like Sendspace to send it to me because the file size limit is, I think, 300 megs. Even so, this may not be big enough, and, Thanks to Ric Justice, I have a wonderful free file splitter which will solve this problem. So, if you are willing to help, and if you need this file splitter, please write me, preferably this evening, at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for any help.

LOL dude! This is a pretty neat little unit for sure. I needd some better SapI voices so if yall have some? The player installed and I was up and running in seconds. Mind you I have an E8400 processor going for me grin! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Skarstad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Friday, July 04, 2008 8:46 PM Subject: Re: Klango player, success! Hi As I said in my previous message, the media section of the player includes a number of radio stations, podcast and audio books you can listen to right from within the player. It also allows you to send and receive private messages, sort of like IMs, and every user gets their own Microblog, or at least that's what it's called. You can also play a dice poker game on it, and this is only the beginning. and as I said before this is all self-voicing, no screenreader required.
