Re: [Blind-Computing] MP3 compressed
mp3 files already have been compressed when they are made. I believe there are also settings in most software which specifies how much. I doubt that it is necessary to zip them unless you are making a large library of them and just want to transmit one file rather than many.

Re: [Blind-Computing] external Mp3 player question
Couple of things could be wrong. (1) Some players need to turned on before the computer can recognize them. (2) You are not making a good connection either with the unit or the computer. Try another USB port or even another cable. (3) Your unit could be defective. (4) The auto run is not being fired but the dirve is there and accessible. In that case browse for it in windows explorer under your computer. What is the mp3 player and where did you get it?

Re: [Blind-Computing] notepad question
Starting with the file ment, save as, then in the dialogue box under file type set that to all files, then make sure that you name the file something.html. That's all there is to it.

Well i don't use Word. But if you are on a PC, and if you don't want to put graphics in your flier, there is no reason not to just use notepad. In fact if you want to include the text here, i could format it on the screen and send it back to you ... or alternatively give you instructions for that.

Re: [Blind-Computing] NLS compatible Software?
I don't understand. The players are free if you are blind. The Library of congress locks their publications to their players because they are publishing materials that sighted people normally would need to pay for. They are giving these materials to the blind for free. But they can only do that if they can limit the ability to distribute this copy righted material freely on the net. Or at least that is the way i understand NLS. If i have gotten it wrong, please enlighten me.

Re: [Blind-Computing] problum sending atachments of songs to people
You might try uploading your song to tagtalking.net and then just sending them the URL of the song. Sending long email attachments can be a bit of a problem through some email systems. Also if you send it to multiple people, then you need to upload it each time. And each of your recipients has similar problems when they download it. Why not just upload it to the internet once and point to it when you want somebody to listen.

Re: [Blind-Computing] problum sending atachments of songs to people
Both send space and tag talking are good solutions. Let me clarify the difference. Send space dot com provides you with a one time private communication. Tag talking dot net provides you with a public place where you song stays and can be accessed by anyone and even indexed and found by web searches. Personally i think that many people keep there stuff private for no good reason when what they really need or want is to put it out there and rub it up against the world.

Re: [Blind-Computing] mp3 player
Speak to me is selling 2 gig for $24.95 now. It has no screen, just the ear phones. And what's great about it is that it takes a SD card. So you can upgrade to 4 gig.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Distribution List Question
Send them invitations. I do believe that these sites provide a process for inviting people to join. You might loose a large percentage of your people in the process ... people don't want to change. But if you have loyal devoted followers, they should all come over. Another disadvantage is that these groups are prone to pick up spammers. But you can control that by limiting who can post to the group. Alternatively you could switch ISPs, curtailing distribution lists seems a bit draconian to me. -- Seth Russell Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/people/Seth-Russell/10470462538 Blogging: http://fastblogit.com/seth/ Developing: http://tagtalking.net/ Shopping: http://www.speaktomecatalog.com On Sat, Dec 26, 2009 at 10:42 AM, blindguy blindgu...@gmail.com wrote: So after creating this how do you get the word out for folks to join? -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kliph Sent: Saturday, December 26, 2009 9:53 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Distribution List Question Go to yahoogroups.com and go to the 3 easy steps to create a group.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Wow! $10 MP3 Player Really Is Accessible
Alternatively you could get a 4GB unit, same 5 buttons, for $26.95 and you get a CD with audio instructions read by yours truly. seth On Sat, Nov 28, 2009 at 4:38 PM, Gerald Levy bwaylimi...@verizon.netwrote: I just received my Coby MP200 MP3 player from JR, and it is truly simple and totally blind accessible. On top of the unit is the earphone jack into which you plug the included earbuds. The front panel has 5 discrete buttons arranged in a vertical column. From top to bottom, the buttons are skip forward, play/pause/power, skip backward, volume up and volume down. Pressing and holding the second button from the top for 5 seconds turns the unit on, and pressing and holding it again for 5 seconds turns it off. That's all there is to it. The bottom of the unit has a USB connector that plugs directly into a USB port, although a separate USB cable is also included. You just plug it into your PC and copy and paste the MP3 files you want to download. Just install the included AAA battery and you're good to go. The sound quality is surprisingly good, at least using a better pair of earbuds than the included ones. There is absolutely no learning curve, and no sighted assistance is required to use it. The included software, which I have not tried yet, is fully JAWS accessible. With 2gb of memory, it can hold up to 1,000 songs. This is probably the best blind accessible MP3 deal ever. It is still available from JR for $10 with free shipping, but they probably won't last much longer at that price. They make wonderful stocking stuffers. The hardest part of using this gizmo is getting it out of the plastic blister pack which requires a heavy duty scissors to cut open. http://www.jr.com/coby/pe/CBY_MP2002G/ Gerald For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ -- Seth Russell www.speaktomecatalog.com For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
