Bose Soundlink
Hello, I just got a Bose SoundLink Mobile Bluetooth speaker, the first version of this speaker, with the leather type cover; a couple of questions for anyone who has this device: If you run it on battery and have the volume at about midrange, about how long could a charge last? The manual says 3 hours a maximum volume which is pretty loud. Also, I know when you close the cover the speaker turns off; does this mean one can just close the cover and not have to fool with the power button? Thanks for any info on this. Yours truly, Peter Russillo

MaPlEr Player
Hi list, does anyone know if that blind-friendly media player called MaPlEr is still being developed?

Please let me know if the developers are still working on that program and what website they have, if any; thanks. Peter Russillo
accessible software media player that can bookmark
Hello list, I'm looking for an accessible software media player that runs under Windows 10 with which I can bookmark wherever I left off in a media file so that later I can resume where I left off without having to search through the file to find the place I left off. I now use Windows Media Player, but any accessible alternative capable of bookmarking one's place in an audio file is what I'm looking for; any suggestions or tips are welcome; thanks.

Windows Media Player playlist
Hello, I use Windows Media Player 12 and Windows 10 on a desktop and on a laptop; is there any kind of program I can use so when I play a playlist with Windows Media Player my screen reader System access will announce each song or whatever as it starts?

voice activated radio
Hello, is there such a device as a voice-activated radio that will go to whatever frequency you tell it to go to? For instance if your favorite FM station is at 89.9 on the dial, is there a radio to which you could say, "Go to 89.9" and it would do so? This would be helpful especially if the power goes out but you haven't put that station into a preset if the radio has presets; otherwise one would have to spend time going up and down the frequencies until the right one is reached. Thanks. Peter

Here's the deal: I made the playlist of an album I've got on the hard drive; yet a piece from somewhere else in the computer got on the list along with the album; what I need to do is take that extra piece of music off the playlist so that only the album I put in the playlist will play; yet in the primary list view in the Library, it shows only the names of the songs on the album which is in the playlist; that extra music doesn't show up in the list view; what's the best accessible way to take that extra item out of the playlist?

Re: Any Home for My Hope for Pandora on My New Windows 7 Machine?
Hi Evan. I recently got a new Win 7 machine to replace my Vista machine that died; since I've got the Hope program transferred to the new machine before the old one died, I went to the program and looked for the Options section; there should be a button that says something like "resend my activation key." I did this, got my key, pasted it in where it needed to go 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 dialog with a Resend activation key button; give this a shot. If Hope support isn't writing back that can really suck. I understand the suthor is not so nice when people write him with questions, so try what I mentioned above. Thanks.

Is the NCH audio software accessible?
Hi list, Merry Christmas. Would anyone here know about the accessibility of the software from NCH? Specifically, I want to look into their Express Burn CD burning software, if it works on Windows 7 64 bit machines. If anyone's had experience using this, would you please give me some pointers for getting the best use from it? Windows Media Player seems a bit tricky for setting up a playlist to burn to a CD; I use System Access for a screen reader but something's wrong with the Media Library in that it won't let me burn something to CD; Support can't help much in this case. I have tried Digital Jukebox from Marvelsoft; in that case yes, I can make the playlist and then go to the Project menu and tell the program to burn the tracks to CD; a blank CD is in the drive, but when I hit the okay button after I'm given the total playing time for the tracks to burn the CD, the speech just goes silent and a message pops up that the dj.exe has stopped working and should be closed; I haven't heard back from their tech support yet, maybe tomorrow after Christmas. Meanwhile I'm wanting to find out more about Express Burn by NCH Software to find out if it's accessible with screen readers before I plunk down money for it. Thanks in advance for any info you can give me on this; also if anyone has experience with Digital Jukebox by Marvelsoft I'm interested in learning about experiences people had using it. thanks again and Merry Christmas.

Re: increasing streams in Winamp library
P.S. Susan, I actually meant to say, "I don't know what kind of connection you have," not "kind of connection I have." Just a goof.

Re: increasing streams in Winamp library
Hi Susan, as to increasing the streams, in Media Library under Preferences, look for a button that says something about managing cache and hit it; you should get a dialog that starts with something about limiting the streams to fetch; if the edit box says 500, for instance, than hit Delete and type a higher number, say 1. Then go to the Okay button, press it with spacebar; then you're back on the first dialog page; go to the Close button, hit the spacebar, and that should do it. As for 5.09, I just tried it and found an odd behavior with it. I'm on dial-up, and previous versions of Winamp didn't try to connect to the Net when listening to a file stored offline; however with 5.09 in my case, when I wanted to listen to something that is offline on the hard disk, Winamp would connect to the Net. Even when I merely wanted to run Winamp while offline to see what plugins are there, the thing would--what else--connect! I went back to 5.08E; I don't know what kind of connection I have, but for now I'm staying away from 5.09; so, ah, pick your poison (grin).

Re: "winamp 5.8e unavailable"
Hi Doug, I hear that message also when I bring up ACB Radio, but the stream plays anyway; no idea why you hear that message, but since the stream plays, Winamp is in fact working. Maybe someone on the list has more knowledge on this. Peter - Original Message - From: "doug leavens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: live 365
Hi Stan, Peter here. I've tried the Player 365; I can get onto a radio station okay; however when I leave the whole computer just freezes up; I think that site uses Flash; I wonder if updating the FlashPlayer if prompted would solve that issue. I use Windows 98 SE, Jaws 4.51, and IE 6 on a computer with 64 megs of RAM and clock speed of 333 MyhZ. Please let me know if updating flash, or removing it altogether, might solve this problem of the computer freezing? Thanks.

Re: Live 365 makes Jaws crash when leaving a radio station
Hi Dean, thanks for the hint; I changed to Winamp for playing Live 365; however I get a dialog for sending an error report to Microsoft; the error involves FlashPlayer; is FlashPlayer terribly important for most websites? I've looked in Add/Remove Programs and it's not listed there; if I were to search in Files and Folders, found it and removed it, could it compromise things in the computer? Or is it better to update the FlashPlayer if asked? Any info on this would be helpful so I might listen to Live 365 without a lot of hassle; thanks.

Live 365 makes Jaws crash when leaving a radio station
Hello list; this is about Live365 and JFW; whenever I listen to any radio station on Live365 using the Live365 player called Player 365 (I think that's their default player), and then leave there to go somewhere else, after getting off the site, JFW just freezes, so I'm unable to see what kind of illegal-operation error came up. I use a Gateway G6-333 computer with 64 megs RAM, Windows 98 SE, and JFW 4.51 and IE 6. Has anyone had experience positive or negative with Live365? Are they using Macromedia Flash now? Is there some way to ignore Flash with JFW 4.51? I asked the Jaws list these same questions but got no responses so decided to ask here. Please let me know about any tips or tricks for Live365, including which is the best player to use--whether theirs or Winamp (which I have in the machine). Thanks for any help and/or info you can give me.

Re: Question for a friend
Hi Cindy, Peter Russillo here. Does your friend use Jaws or Window-Eyes? Has he checked about the firewall on his network? I'm guessing (thought I'm not on a network) that some things like that may not be getting let into the firewall. Windows Media Player 7 may need to be upgraded to version 9, or even better, have him get Winamp 5.03; also have him (if he hasn't already0 get the free ACB Radio Tuner; that can be set so the player he chooses can open when activating any of the buttons, be it Mainstream, Interactive, Cafe--what have you. Good luck getting this solved.
