Jim,

Have you checked out your settings in the preferences menu?  Preferences can
be found in the file menu and the settings for using either a local or
remote CDDB can be found in the database tab.

Howdy folks,

I must be doing something wrong when I want to wrip tracks from a CD using
Nero.
Basically, I follow the instructions but what it won't do is read the track
or title.  It just gives it a number.  I'd like for it to rip it and read
the title as it appears.  Any ideas?
Jim

Cingular and the Talks software

2005-01-14 Thread A boy and his dog
Hi Folks,

I'm looking for some honest opinions regarding the Nokia 6620/Talks software 
deal that Cingular is currently offering.  I'm looking for opinions on things 
like how blind user friendly is this cell phone and is Cingular  being 
cooperative when it comes to rebating the cost of the software?
 Also if anyone knows of other cell phone carriers that are providing
accessible phones I'd be interested in hearing
about that too.  Thanks.

Hi,  Funny you should ask!  Around ten minutes ago I just got done loading
the Talks in my Nokia 6620.  The speech is extremely clear.  I have to go
through the CD tutorial that comes with it to learn to operate the phone.
If you email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to ask your questions, some time
this weekend, I can give you and idea.  I'm sure their are others on the
list that also have it.  Give me a day or so to play with it and I will
email you my opinion.

Re: Wripping from Nero

2005-01-14 Thread ron scott
Hi, I'm wondering if it doesn't depend on when the CD was produced?
A friend of mine, recently put a CD\MP3 \radio in his truck, and he was
telling me that some CD's scroll the track name over a screen, and some
don't.
The way this came up, I had burnt him a CD of tracks I had on the hard
drive, and in folders with the titles, and he asked me how I got them to do
the scroll thing, I had to admit I didn't know anything about it LOL

Kiss Wave Editor

2005-01-14 Thread Steve Pattison
I just read about this free sound editor available from
www.code-it.com/KISS_free_wave_editor.htm.  I haven't tried it so I
don't know how accessible it is.  Here is some information about this
program from the home page:

KISS Wave Editor is a complete wave editor. KISS Wave Editor makes
editing WAV files
as easy as editing text with its clear user interface and powerful
effects. Our wave
form editing window allows you to find the part you want to edit
quickly.
Have fun playing with adding the many effects offered, or do more
serious editing
functions. Use the Normalize and Amplify effects to match volumes of
different files
or bring out the best in music that was recorded a little too soft.
Fade in, fade
out, add  echo, or flange.
Ideas for using Wave Editor...
Delete the annoying applause at the end of a song that was recorded
live.
Apply audio equalization to a music file in order to make it sound
better.
Amplify a song that's been recorded too quietly.
Fade out the end of a song.
Graphic waveform window allows you to see a visual display of your
audio and zoom
in or out at will
Import and export WAV (PCM format) files.
Cut-and-paste editing of your audio in the waveform window

A number of special effects such as Amplify, Compressor, Delay,
Envelope, Equalizer,
Expander, Fade, Flanger, Invert, Normalize, Phaser, Reverb, Silence,
Stretch, Trim,
and Vibrato
Amplification and automatic volume normalization
Ability to mix sounds -- you can overlay your voice on top of music,
for example
Effects can be applied to both channels of stereo audio, or each
channel separately

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

THE PANASONIC RXD29
CD RADIO CASSETTE RECORDER
WITH MP3/WMA
CD-R/CD-RW
PLAYBACK
BY
DANE TRETHOWAN
We've waited long enough for a boom-box which can play MP3/WMa files so was
the
wait worth it? Sure!
Retail price: $189.00 (Australian)
CASSETTE RECORDER FEATURES
Nothing fancy, just a good basic single-sided mechanical piano-key-type
cassette deck with cue/review facilities, complete auto shut-off and pause
control,  (glad to see Panasonic bringing this type of deck back into a
portable unit).
Don't think about making high fidelity recordings with the deck as the deck
has
a magnetic erase head and is only designed for type I cassettes however,
the
recording quality is fine if you're planning to record a radio broadcast,
dash
off a few songs from your MP3 collection etc.
Very little hiss from the deck during playback which means the unit is great
if
you wish to listen to spoken word recordings such as talking books etc.
RADIO
This is a 2-band job (FM and Medium-wave) and the radio is completely
digital
with 32 presets (20 FM and 12 for Medium-wave).
Sensitivity of the radio is good (not the best and certainly not the worst
I've
seen in a digital set) and there is no! noise from the processor of the unit
interfering with radio reception.
Various methods of tuning are available including the traditional SEEK and
SCAN tuning methods, preset scan and direct entry  preset tuning.  The
presets can be set manually (by holding in the programme button of the
remote
control and pressing the desired preset number) or by the AUTO-PRESET
method
where the radio scans the band and puts the stations found into the presets
for
you.
Frequency range, FM 87.5-108MHZ
Medium-Wave: 522/1620KHZ (Australian model)
CD'S AND MORE
All the usual CD playing features are available including repeat play,
random
play, Programme and Direct Play modes.  When programming the unit for
Programme
Play, a maximum of 24-tracks can be programmed into a programming cycle (no
excuse for this low number and I really wish that manufacturers would
consider
dropping the maximum amount of tracks altogether).
The cue/review feature of the CD player is only available for standard CD's
or
standard audio CD'S recorded on CD-R or CD-RW discs, it is not available for
MP3 or WMA playback.
You can select between tracks on a CD or (if playing MP3/WMA content) you
can
select between albums on a disc.
The display of this set displays all the ID3 information for MP3 files.
I tried playing a wide variety of MP3 files from those compressed at 32K
quality and sampled at a lower rate than 32K to those sampled at 48K with
320K
compression, the unit played them all.  For those Mp3 files of lower
quality,
you can use the DIGITAL RE-MASTER facility of this set to obtain better
clarity.
OTHER STUFF
You can set the clock of this unit and set CD player or radio to wake you up
at
a particular time.
Use the sleep timer to have the unit turn off after 30, 60, 90 or 120
minutes.
The display is a 4-line LCD backlit type so it can display a fare amount of
information at any one time.
A remote control is included but it cannot control the cassette deck.
(obviously)
Battery power can be used as well as standard household current, this set
runs
on 6 c-size batteries with 4 penlight type for memory backup, if no
batteries
are in the set and AC power is turned off, memories and clock settings are
instantly lost.
Use the 4 EQ presets to enhance your listening pleasure, you can turn all EQ
presets off, also try the Surround Sound virtualiser, I've found it works a
treat with spoken word material.
This set has a headphone socket but does not have any line in or auxiliary
socket.
CONCLUSIONS
A must for the bedroom, a great portable music or talking book player. Yep,
this set is cheap and doesn't provide allot of power (6 Watts RMS per
channel)
but for the price you're getting a heap of packaged features to make your
audio
enjoyable.
I hope that Panasonic will consider making a more powerful boom-box which
does
everything (and perhaps a little more) than this model.

I've enver seen a CD Radio Cassette recorder that did have a built-in 
microphone though I've seen a few that had either mixing microphone or 
external microphone jacks.  Once again, I guess its all a matter of cost, 
what the market out there want etc.

I have to ask the question, will we see CD Radio Cassette boom-boxes which 
will play MP3/WMA files on CD-ROM or CD-RW discs in the future? I wouldnt' 
be surprised if we didn't as the smaller MP3 players and the bigger 
Micro/MINI systems seem to have that sort of market.  Take a look around 
you and tell me how many boom-boxes you'll find that play MP3/WMA files as 
opposed to those which just play standard audio-type CD'S, the last 
category are quite definately in the majority of units and I can't see this 
changing dramatically so that's why I pounced, and purchased the RXD29, 
firstly they were selling like hot cakes and secondly, I'm not sure whether 
they'll be a replacement if the model is discontinued, that's the big 
problem with Panasonic 9at least here in Australia), some of their models 
may be round for years whilst others are HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW.
