[all-audio] Looking for an Accessible Spotify Music Downloader

2023-04-21 Thread Danny Miles
Hi. I've tried downloading Spotify content using Pontes Media
Downloader, but this didn't work. I've also tried a few Spotify
downloaders that I found online, but they all seem to have unlabelled
buttons. Can anyone please suggest a suitable piece of software to use
with Jaws?

Cheers - Take care, Danny

[all-audio] Using Streaming Services During Radio Broadcasts

2023-04-21 Thread Danny Miles
Hi. I've read recently that it's possible to broadcast music on a
radio show from a streaming service like Spotify, saving the need for
files in a physical or computer drive-based library. Is anyone aware
of this and - if so - how is the sound from something like the Spotify
desktop app routed into the radio playout software? Additionally, can
this be done with all broadcast programs, or are there only specific
ones that will allow you to do this?

Many thanks in advance for any and all advice/experiences.

Take care, Danny

Re: [all-audio] Issue with GoldWave Start/End Markers

2022-08-20 Thread Danny Miles
Hi John. Thanks for coming back with this one. This is roughly what I was
wondering about, but I have never done anything to do with the zooming
before and I’m therefore unsure how it works. I also am not sure of the
jaws shortcuts for implementing different zoom levels and for checking the
current level. Are you please able to advise any further? Cheers, Danny

2022-08-20 Thread Danny Miles
Hi JM. Thanks very much for your thoughts. I'm afraid your suggestions
- which are great - have already been covered. I've tried re-starting
the PC a couple of times, and the only background software running
during the period of the issue's presentation is Jaws. Unfortunately,
it does seem to happen pretty regularly, especially when I've set a
start marker and am trying to pause again in order to set a finish
marker (or even if I just try setting the marker without pausing).

Anyway, thanks again for those ideas... Any other suggestions from
anybody will again be really gratefully received.

Take care, Danny

[all-audio] Issue with GoldWave Start/End Markers

2022-08-19 Thread Danny Miles
Hi All. I hope you are doing well.

I've just installed the latest version of GoldWave on a new Windows 10
desktop, and I'm using it with external speakers plugged into the base
unit and the latest version of Jaws. I'm finding that, when I press F7
to pause the output in order to place a start/end marker in a given
position, it occasionally works immediately but often has a second or
two of lag before it implements the command. I've checked the
play/device attributes (F11 shortcut), and they match those on my old
laptop apart from the output device being the external speaker rather
than an internal one. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be
causing the problem? Of course, I assume it could be a speed issue
with the processor of the desktop, but as it's newly-created with very
few pieces of software I assume this isn't the case. Could it be
something to do with a difference between laptops and desktops, or is
it something to do with the View/Zoom settings, or is there anything
else that comes to mind?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Take care, Danny

Hi Simon.  That sounds brilliant... Exactly what I'm looking for.
I've looked around and keep coming across the B1 Bluetooth Receiver...
Is that the right model?  If so, can you please advise as to where you
bought yours?  I'm only finding them in the US and China at the
moment.  If not, or if that receiver won't attach to a DM-670 (I saw
references to RCA cables on one review, so I don't know whether that
one takes 3.5 mm leads), could you again please send a link to
whichever product you use?

Many thanks in advance, Danny

[all-audio] Recording via Bluetooth

2021-11-30 Thread Danny Miles
Hi there.  I hope everyone's well.

For a long time I've recorded content from my iPhone 5S (not calls,
but notes read by VoiceOver, attachments from emails, etc.) using my
Olympus DM-670 and a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm jack lead.  Unfortunately, my
faithful smartphone has now given up the ghost, and trials with
headphone adapters attached to my iPhone SE 2020 and various
iPods/iPads have all featured a great deal of hissing behind the audio
output.  I presume this is because newer models require more power to
run (seeing as they're effectively computers these days) and/or that
the lightning to 3.5 mm adaptor creates interference between the two
devices.

This leads me to assume that the only way to record material from my
iPhone SE 2020 or another modern model would be to connect such a
device to a digital recorder via bluetooth.  I've come across plenty
of bluetooth recorders that are designed for phone call recording, but
does anyone know of a bluetooth digital recorder which is
simple/accessible for a totally blind user that can create
good-quality recordings (no background feedback, noise picked up from
elsewhere in the room where the devices are located, etc.)?

Many thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Cheers - Take care, Danny

[all-audio] Playback Issue with Olympus DM-670

2021-08-02 Thread Danny Miles
Hi.  I'm able to record files using my Olympus DM-670, and I can even
play them back without any problems on my laptop, but when I play them
on the digital recorder itself it stops playback after one or two
seconds.  This even includes files that have previously played without
issue on the device.  Once a file stops playing, I can't get any of
the buttons to make sounds or encourage the recorder to start playing
again.  Instead, I have to turn the device off (which often takes two
or three attempts) and then turn it back on, at which point it starts
confirming that folder A is active (in the same way as it does after a
charging of the battery).  However, the device is claiming that the
battery is at a high level, and I've tried charging it a bit in case
this information is wrong without any success.

Any advice regarding possible causes and solutions will be
appreciated.  Thanks in advance for any contributions.

Take care, Danny

Re: [all-audio] Problem with Existing GoldWave Licence

2020-12-23 Thread Danny Miles
Hi Colin.  Thanks very much for that.  You actually did help, as
pasting in the credentials worked.  Some programs don't like me doing
that, and GoldWave wasn't showing any characters in the boxes when I
pasted the info before, so that's why I was trying to type it in.  Not
sure why it doesn't work with both methods of input, but thanks for
solving the problem for me.

Take care, Danny

[all-audio] Problem with Existing GoldWave Licence

2020-12-23 Thread Danny Miles
Hi.  I hope everyone is doing well.

I've recently installed the latest version of GoldWave and have been
using it without issue (apart from the fact that the time announced
when a start or end place marker is created is that of the previous
marker and not the one being created at the time).  However, I'd
incorrectly assumed that it had remembered my previous licence
credentials, and so this morning it has asked me to register.  Upon
trying to register with my lifetime licence's user ID and licence, I'm
receiving a notification stating that one or other of these is
incorrect, even though I've typed it straight from the original
licence email.  I assume that lifetime means lifetime, but could it be
that I need to purchase a new one due to the gap between the versions
of GoldWave that I've used?  I was using version 5.68 until I
downloaded the latest update, so I'd be grateful to know whether or
not anyone thinks this might be the issue.  Alternatively, any other
potential causes of the problem or solutions to the issue (including
the best method of contacting GoldWave, if that's required) will be
very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Take care, Danny

Plex Web; Re: [all-audio] for a sighted user

2020-06-26 Thread Danny Miles
Hi Dane and All.  I've just downloaded Plex Web on a Windows 10 laptop
using NVDA, and the software is definitely installed because it shows
up in my search results and the Add and Remove Programs list.
However, whenever I try to load the app, nothing seems to happen (I
can't even use shift + tab to move to it, because it just isn't
showing as being physically there).  Is NVDA incompatible with the
software and, if not, how can I get the app visible to me?  I'm
assuming it's a screen overlay that can't be read by a screenreader
but, presuming that my memory is serving me correctly and Dane is
totally blind, this can't be true.

Any help will be gratefully received, as will advice on storage
capacity limits and whether media can be uploaded to the Plex server
from an external hard drive or only from a PC/laptop drive.

Take care, Danny

[all-audio] Audio Playback Issue with Apple Devices

2020-06-06 Thread Danny Miles
OK, so this is a rather random/unusual question, but any info or
advice will be gratefully received.  I've often played content from my
iPhone 5S into another source (digital recorder, amp, etc) for the
purposes of recording or for musical accompaniment.  This has never
caused me any issues and, although VoiceOver leads to a small amount
of background hiss/static being expressed while the phone is talking,
the playback quality of audio material is unaffected by this and all
distortion/hiss stops as soon as the phone's speech output ends.  I
therefore assumed that all iOS and iOSPad products would allow me to
do the same things, but I've found over the last few days (the first
time that I've actually tried to use other devices) that both the iPad
Mini and the iPod Touch (6th generation) present material with a much
greater amount of feedback once VoiceOver is activated, even if VO is
then turned off and no other gestures are used.  These issues aren't
apparent when using the devices by themselves, but the additional
noises are very obvious to me when listening with headphones or
playing back a recording.

So, does anyone please know why my iPhone is much more obliging (for
example, because it uses more/less power than the other devices,
because it has a different type of speaker, because it draws on phone
signals, etc)?  Also, presuming that my analysis so far is correct and
the iPhone is the way to go, would this be the same with larger/more
powerful/more recent models or only with older models like the 5S?

Many, many thanks in advance for any help.

Take care, Danny

[all-audio] Music Production with Pro Tools and/or Cubase

2019-11-05 Thread Danny Miles
Hi.  Apologies if discussions around this subject have previously
taken place on here...They've gone straight out of my memory.

I'm just wondering whether Cubase and/or Pro Tools are accessible and
able to run on Windows 7.  I currently have Jaws version 14.0, but I'm
aware that NVDA might be a feasible alternative once I've learned it.

Many thanks in advance for any advice/guidance received.

Re: [all-audio] Difficulties Installing Reaper on Windows 7 Laptop

2019-09-27 Thread Danny Miles
Hi again.  Many thanks for that suggestion and for outlining how it
works.  I ran a portable installation and, because it confirmed the
folder path, I better understood what you were saying and managed to
trace the .exe file for opening the program.  I've never opened a
program that way before...I've only done it from a Start Menu icon or
from the search bar.  Anyway, I've got it now, so your help is much
appreciated.

Regarding Osara, I was under the impression that I should install the
program first, so I haven't grabbed that yet.  I have installed the
Jaws scripts...Would it still be advisable to install Osara as well?

Take care, Danny

[all-audio] Difficulties Installing Reaper on Windows 7 Laptop

2019-09-26 Thread Danny Miles
Hi Everyone.  I'm trying to install the free 60-day trial of Reaper
for Windows (64-bit) on my laptop.  However, whether I allow it to
install to the default Program Files folder or edit the folder path so
that it reads Program Files (X86), I'm finding that it claims to
install correctly but doesn't create a Start Menu or Desktop icon for
future use and I'm therefore unable to open the software.  I've
noticed that there are some questions requiring yes or no answers
during the installation, and for some reason Jaws 14.0 doesn't read
these or announce whether or not the check boxes for items such as the
aforementioned icons are selected or not, so I've got no way of
knowing exactly what I'm installing.  I've already installed the Jaws
scripts for Reaper, and I assume that I should install the program
before adding Osara, so I assume that inaccessibility isn't strictly
the cause of these problems (although, as I say, the lack of clarity
regarding the highlighting of tick boxes is unhelpful).  Can anyone
please advise on how to get everything installed correctly?  Also, I'd
appreciate recommendations for any suitable tutorials/email
lists/Facebook groups/etc., especially as the company's user guide
appears to be an inaccessible PDF.  Many thanks in advance for any
help.

Take care, Danny

Re: [all-audio] GoldWave Issue with Differing Times Between Versions of the Same Content

2019-04-15 Thread Danny Miles
Hi Tim. Yes, I am able to open them...It's just the re-saving bit
(cutting and saving part of the content into a new file) as an MP3
that's not working. I suspect that the files are too big to save
directly from the original but I'll be glad to try saving the portions
as WAV files and then convert them to MP3. Out of interest, what is it
about saving them as WAV files first that might help them to keep
their original length?

Many thanks, Danny

[all-audio] GoldWave Issue with Differing Times Between Versions of the Same Content

2019-04-13 Thread Danny Miles
Hi Guys. Apologies in advance if this message doesn't make
sense...Please let me know if you need to clarify anything.

So, I've got some M4A files that are very long and which I need to
convert to MP3. I've tried to do this with NCH's Sound File Converter
but, as the files are around 26 hours in length, I found that the
whole of the files were not being converted (The converted files had a
duration of around 12.5 hours, even though the conversion software had
reached 100% of its assigned duties).

I then thought of cutting up the files into smaller parts using
GoldWave and converting them into MP3 files while saving the new
versions. This has, in theory, worked...Each separate file plays.
However, the collected durations of the four files that make up the
original recording add up to approximately 1.5 minutes to 2 minutes
less than the total duration of the original file. The only thing that
I can think of is that, after saving the files as MP3s, GoldWave keeps
asking whether or not I want to update the sound window. I have always
said yes but, for an unspecified reason, it has occasionally said that
it is impossible to do so. This has left the file saved but,
presumably, without the sound window being updated. As I don't know
what it means by updating the sound window, and as the first few
seconds of each recording play in Windows Media Player as I would
expect, I assume that no damage has been done to the original content.
However, if no damage has been done and no alterations have taken
place, I don't understand why the duration of the individual file and
the cumulative length of the four files added together do not amount
to the same total. Am I potentially missing part of the original
material (I would prefer to not have to listen to all 26 hours of
content to check it) or is something less problematic going on here?

Sorry for the strange question...Any thoughts and experiences will be
gratefully received.

All my best, Danny

Re: [all-audio] Hosting a Podcast

2019-01-12 Thread Danny Miles
Hi Christopher.  Thanks very much for your suggestions.  I was aware
of Libsyn but didn't know whether or not the webpage offered in their
deals would have to be configured.  Haven't heard of the other two at
all, so I look forward to investigating those.

BTW, my self-employed work is all about media and communication
(broadcasting, interviewing, creative writing, etc), so this will be a
professional project and I really appreciate your kindness in coming
forward to share your own professional experiences.  If you'd like to
connect off-list, feel free to let me know.

All my best for now, Danny

[all-audio] Hosting a Podcast

2019-01-12 Thread Danny Miles
Hi everyone.  Apologies if this is off-topic but, as it relates to
sharing audio content, I hope it's suitable for the list.

I'm looking for advice from anyone who is totally blind regarding the
best (most accessible) places to host a podcast.  Ideally, this would
be somewhere that has a set template, saving me the necessity of
checking with someone sighted whether or not changes or additions to
the page are visually appropriate.  I've previously used Audioboom
(when it was Audioboo, admittedly) and Mixcloud to upload content but,
as I'm not aware of being able to share posts from either of these
platforms to iTunes via an RSS feed, they don't really meet my needs.
I know that Wordpress and related blogging servers are often used but,
as far as I understand it, these still require initial theme selection
and potentially continuous visual monitoring to ensure a professional
presentation (just like any DIY website).  I thought about uploading
an audio podcast to Youtube with an image attached but, again, I don't
think content from here can be shared to iTunes (which, as far as I
understand it, is the place where most downloads come from).

So, any suggestions or guidance will be much appreciated.  If the
topic is too wide or if the subject matter is irrelevant to this list,

[all-audio] Issue with Accessing DAB Radio in the UK on Roberts Concerto

2018-09-14 Thread Danny Miles
Hi Listers.  Apologies for the rather unique/specific nature of this
question... Any help will be gratefully received.

I'm in the UK and, for some time, I've been unable to pick up DAB
radio on my Roberts Concerto (it's not the Concerto 2 - as far as I'm
aware - as I've had the unit since 2014 or 2015).  Initially, I
thought that I must have accidentally changed stations from what I had
been listening to because it was playing something random but I found
at the same time that even my pre-set stations had changed and I'm now
not getting anything at all by either attempting to re-scan for
stations or by pressing the pre-set buttons.  I've tried the unit in
various locations in case it's simply a positional issue, including
moving between two different rooms, but I've had no success.

I know these are quite old models (I think they were around as early
as 2008), and I know there were some DAB changes in 2012, but as I was
happily using digital radio on this device much later than 2012 I'm
assuming that isn't the issue (unless further alterations have taken
place).  So, can anyone please advise me of any updates that might be
causing this issue or suggest any other ways of potentially fixing the
problems that I'm having?

All my best, Danny

[all-audio] Ripping Audio from DVD

2018-05-20 Thread Danny Miles
Hi.  I'm trying to rip audio from some DVD discs using Windows 7 and
Jaws 14.0.  I tried using GoldWave but it told me that there was a
data track that was blocking me from saving content and, even when I
changed the time range (both to and from) so that the save window
(similar to that in Windows Explorer) appeared, it continued to state
that my file couldn't read from the DVD to actually save anything.
So, can anyone please advise on how to make GoldWave play ball or
recommend an accessible and free/cheap piece of software that will do
the job (including enabling me to monitor where the data track ends
and the actual content starts ... GoldWave wouldn't let me preview,
even though I had the correct playback options set)?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Take care, Danny

It's a Behringer UCA-222 USB soundcard.  I've ticked "listen to
device" for both recording and playback and have also checked that
both playback and recording have it as the default windows device/have
it enabled.

[all-audio] Clash Between Braille Display and Voice in Recording

2018-03-19 Thread Danny Miles
Hi everyone.  I'm trying to record a book narration using GoldWave but
the sound of my display is coming out over the mic ... both the noise
of the pins changing as I move down the document and - more obviously
(it's often louder) - the sound of me pressing the button which moves
the document down by a line at a time. I've tried compression but this
doesn't always remove all of the sounds from the display without
removing the softer parts of my speech, such as the letter K in "look"
and "book". Does anyone have any practical experience of solving an
issue similar to this or any ideas of what I can do? Any help will be
so gratefully received ... you'll be life-savers.

Take care, Danny

[all-audio] Trouble Re-Starting Olympus DM-670

2017-12-28 Thread Danny Miles
Hi guys. My fiancee and I have had Olympus DM-670 digital voice
recorders for a couple of years now and have always found them to be
excellent. However, whenever we remove the batteries and put them back
in (or when the batteries completely run down), we find that getting
them going again is a real issue. We're battling the crisis again this
morning ... we've been able to turn it on by plugging it into a
laptop's USB port and it said that the battery level was high, so
batteries aren't the problem. However, every time that we unplug it,
it stops speaking or making any sounds in response to buttons being
pressed or the on-off switch being used. Unfortunately, I changed the
USB connection setting to PC so that I could copy some files, so we
now don't even have audio feedback when it's plugged into the laptop
because the PC setting overrules the audio feedback that usually
occurs. This means that it's not talking when plugged in or when
unplugged, so we basically can't use it. Does anyone please know why
the devices throw a fit when batteries are newly put in and how we
might please get this one chatting to us again?

Thanks very much in advance for any help.

Take care, Danny
