Re: anyone aware of that blasted dvd decoder?
Strangely enough I installed power dvd before I discovered win media player 9 used powerDVD's info to bolster itself. So basically install power dvd then go back to media player you will still find it more accessible than PDVD by itself.

RE: Need software
Hi. Yes, CDEX can rip CD tracks separately (this is the default behaviour) and it can keep tracks together (which you have to select from a menu). As for CDs, none of the programs you mention will do DVD ripping, to the best of my knowledge. What would you like to do with DVDs? Rip the audio, rip the video, copy the disk to a backup or something else altogether?

Re: Skype
You wil be asked to keep your contact list and preferences when uninstall skype. When installing the new version you will have the same preferences set and you will have your contact list. If you are running windows xp then take a copy of the directory drive\documents and setting\your username\application data\skype. Then you will have a baackup for your contact list. You can only copy if skype is unloaded. If ever need to reinstall your system you just need to copy the skype directory back to the position from wich you make the copy. Skype can also be installed on top of older versions. This way also keeps your contacts and settings. OZ0TE Jacob Original Message On Thursday, October 28, 2004 2:36 PM [GMT+1=CET], Roger R.

Re: Total Recorder 5.0 is Available
Hi, I read on the page that you just install over the top and the 4.5 key is preserved. I don't know how you missed that info. But, have no fear. Rusty At 01:03 PM 10/27/2004, Mac Norins spake thusly:- Dear Steve, Thanks for the heads up! I just read over the info you sent out, plus I went to the High Criteria website (to see if there was any more info, ha! ha!) and ended up sending their sales team a post, because it is unclear as to whether or not 5.o can be installed, over 4.5, without getting a new registration key. Do you know what is up with that? I have 4.5 Professional, am a newbie, so I had a little trouble with installing that reg. key, in the first place! All I can do is hope it doesn't have to happen again! What do you think, from reading the spiel?

Hi, Kevin, Would you please, share those advices to compress and make files very smaller? Kindest Regards: Reta - Original Message - From: Kevin Lloyd [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 3:46 PM Subject: Re: Help with converting music Hi John. Ripping 350 CD's is going to take you some time and you're probably not going to want to repeat the exercise again. Given that I would recommend that you rip a CD a number of times in different formats to make sure you're happy with the results before you embark on such a project. If you have sufficient disc space, why compromise sound quality? It would be disappointing a few months down the line to find that you didn't like the sound of all of those ripped CD's. For my part, I rip to MP3; yes, other formats are now getting better support on portable players but MP3 is by far the most universal format. I use the Lame encoder which is recognised as one of the top MP3 encoders. I rip at 320kbps. I have 160GB of internal disc space and an 80GB external drive so what does it matter about larger files when you know that they are covering the same frequency range as CD at this bit rate. Using CDEX or Notmad Explorer, I can re-encode any of these files off to my MP3 player at a lower bit rate and still have my master collection ripped at the highest quality possible. If you're really needing to get these files as small as possible I've already seen some great advice from other listers but these are just a few thoughts before you start ripping that music. I am about 75% through ripping my collection of nearly 500 CD's and I wouldn't want to start again.

Re: Help with converting music
Hi Reta. The simplest way to compress the files to a smaller size is to either use WMA or OG format rather than MP3. You could also reduce the bit rate to a value that you're happy with. Again, you just need to be mindful as to what you want to do with your collection in the future. If you want to use a portable MP3 player you'd need to check compatibility. If you wanted to burn an audio CD from your collection to play in a high end hi-fi system, you're going to want a full frequency range so nothing less than 256kbps will do this. However, if you're not likely to do either of these, 128kbps could sound great through your PC speakers.

I am a registered user of 4.5, plus I was just sent a plain text version, of the manuals for both 4.5 and 5.o, upon request, because I am a blind customer, whose ability to open PDF's was practically impossible. To sum up, can I just download 5.o, with the version simply going over the top of 4.5, or do I have to re-register ( which is a big hassle for blind users!)? Please advise me on this, won't you?

RE: WinMx questions
Hi I generally use window eyes version 4.5 when using winmx, and to be honest have only just used jaws version 5.0?? now to see how useable it is. Now I don't have any scripts for jaws loaded to use in winmx , but it seems to be completely useable straight outta the box. I use the jaws pad to get around , to navigate the mouse to the various buttons etc,The only thing I had to do was set a custom highlight.

Dear High Criteria Sales Division, From the news of your release information, on Version 5.o, it is a little unclear, as to whether or not a new registration key, is necessary, for 4.5 Professional Edition customers. I am a registered user of 4.5, plus I was just sent a plain text version, of the manuals for both 4.5 and 5.o, upon request, because I am a blind customer, whose ability to open PDF's was practically impossible. To sum up, can I just download 5.o, with the version simply going over the top of 4.5, or do I have to re-register ( which is a big hassle for blind users!)? Please advise me on this, won't you?

Re[2]: Fw: Clarity of upgrading procedures, for Professional Edition customerss...?
Yes for the standard you do need to get a new key but you just give them your registeration email address and they send you the new key. It's free. *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 10/28/2004 at 7:56 PM Marty Rimpau wrote: Hi, what about we standard edition users? Will we have to get a new key? This makes me liery of trying it out.

cd ripping
Thanks, Janet. You are obviously very knowledgable about numerous things. I could get windows media player to work for me, but changing settings - like where to store files - was always a royal pain.

Re: cd ripping
Thanks for that. I had heard it somewhere, but the anniversary money went to purchase winamp pro, so it will just have to wait another five years or so.

I used it because it was free and easily available, and it seemed to work reasonably well. Now that I have winamp pro, I would be interested in comparisons between the two, as well as people`s thoughts, in general, about cd ripping. I make no claims about windows media player being the best, but what`s done is done.

That leaves CDRWin with only two functions I'd like to have available, but have to figure out other ways to do: I want to rip all my cds to hard disc and want the tracks labeled from the info on a data base, and I need to figure a way to make mp3s from wavs. Thanks for the continued help. - Original Message - From: Bruce Toews [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.
