winamp and windows xp
Hi, Anyone having problems with the newest winamp and windows xp. Ever since my xp updated something, I can't seem to run winamp without it closing and sending an error report. The only way I got it to play was to change my display settings. When I changed them to windows classic theme, winamp would crash on particular files/streams, i.e. acbradio treasuretrouve. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Help the dummy, win a prize. ok no prize but ...
Hi Rob You have what you meed for fading down and up the music. Sound Forge has a feature called Mixing. You have some presets you can use with the Max command. You use the keystroke ctrl+m to activate this dialog. When using this command, it is important to have the voice clip you want to use on your clipboard. If not, this feature will not work. Under the process menu of Sound Forge, you have several choices. One you will need is the Fade command from this menu. You can fade a track in or out. When fading, select to the end of the file from the point where you want the fade to take place. The standard Windows keystrokes apply here. Use shift+end to select to the end of the file, then press alt+p, f, o for fading out the music. That should get you started. - This message was written and composed on the Pac mate. -- Visit my blog at http://wil.wilanddenise.com -- -Original Message- From: "Rob DeZonia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 5/24/05 10:22:04 PM To: "Pc-audio@pc-audio.org" Subject: Help the dummy, win a prize. ok no prize but ... Hi everyone, Well, my goal is to create a podcast. Forget the rss, forget uploading files, i need help with the most basic of basics. What I want to do is start with music, podsafe music of course. I want to fade it down, talk a little bit, fade it back up, or perhaps fade it out entirely. What software do I need? Can someone give me a senario so that I can accomplish this small yet important task? By the bye I do have Window-eyes and Sound Forge 6.0. If Sound Forge won't work I'm willing to go anywhere, download anything so that I can get this project started. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi all! Awhile back, someone on this list suggested a small self executing program called mp3 merge for merging mp3's. My computer crashed and I lost the file.

Hi Dennis. It sounds like a good thing that Winamp is doing. - Original Message - From: "dennis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 12:18 PM Subject: good news for winamp and ipod's just got this story in a newsletter. IPod users are raving about a plug-in that makes the Winamp digital jukebox a better way to manage the iPod than Apple's iTunes. The plug-in, called ml_iPod, allows iPod users to bypass iTunes and manage music collections in Winamp instead. The iPod is supposed to work with iTunes only. A new version of the software was released Monday. Justin Frankel, creator of Winamp and the open-source peer-to-peer software Gnutella, initially developed ml_iPod, but programming was taken over by Will Fisher, a computer science student in the U.K. Fisher and other developers programmed a slew of features, including the ability to synch multiple iPods with Winamp, create smart playlists and -- the most useful option -- the ability to copy songs from an iPod onto a hard drive. "A lot of the feedback I get is people thanking me for freeing them from iTunes," said Fisher. "It shows the dissatisfaction people have with iTunes." Apple Computer did not respond to several requests for comment. To prevent iPod users from easily copying vast libraries of songs from computer to computer, Apple forbids tracks from being moved off the iPod -- songs can only be put onto the iPod. In addition, each iPod is associated with a single copy of iTunes. The association can be changed, but only if all songs on the iPod are erased. Someone who keeps music on her computer at work could fill up her iPod with tracks, take it home and copy the songs onto a home computer using ml_iPod plugin and Winamp. "I firmly believe you should have the right to transfer your music with any application you like and if this requires software which circumvents DRM (digital rights management), then I don't believe this is ethically wrong," Fisher said. "I trust our users to use this freedom responsibly and to not steal music." For songs purchased at the iTunes Music Store, which are copy protected by Apple's FairPlay DRM scheme, ml_iPod users must download an application from the Hymn project, which unlocks the copy protection. Then the ml_iPod plug-in must be configured to run the hymn.exe file when it encounters protected files, Fisher explained. The ml_iPod plug-in has been downloaded half a million times. By comparison, EphPod, a free utility that offers similar functionality, has been downloaded 43,000 times from Download.com. The plug-in works with all varieties of the iPod, but some users have trouble getting the software to work with the iPod Shuffle. Fisher said there are plans to make the plug-in available for other digital music players. ITunes for Windows is an approximately 21-MB download. By contrast, Winamp is 4.7 MB and the plug-in only takes up 130 KB of space. "ITunes takes up a lot of resources on the computer. Winamp is a lot faster," Fisher said. "Indeed, a lot of our users are still using Windows 98, which iTunes doesn't work on." Feedback about the plug-in is generally enthusiastic.

Unhandled exception error message when exiting iPodder Beta
Well, I have this iPodder version installed now and was just exploring what I can with Jaws, which for the moment all seems pretty inscrutable to me. Which makes me wonder, is there some place where theyre's a real primer or instructional text with full explanation, as there would be in an old-fashioned printed manual? I look through the various menus, and can't get my mind around any of what I see, yet. But my actual question is, when I try to exit iPodder properly, I mean from the task tray, I get this error message I quote in the subject line. Unhandled exception. What does that mean, or does it matter whether I understand it? I then am able to exit by pressing enter on either Ignore or Retry, so I guess it isn't a terminal problem. But is this going to be okay or cause a problem with my system? Thanks, Daniel -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Tempo Change Plug-in.
Hi Folks: I am looking for a plug-in that will allow me to speed up sound playback in WinAmp without distorting the audio. Plug-ins such as PaceMaker distorts sound quite a lot. An example of a good software that will play audio at a faster tempo without distorting the sound is the Victor Soft Daisy player. Unfortionately, that software will not play MP3 files.

Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback
Steve! Please find following a clip from the PDF describing the Sony MZRH910 and it's capability to upload to your computer.

RE: Roxio5 and CD image files
Hi, In ez cd creator, any version through six, when you have the tunes selected that you'd like to include, simply press control-t. No need to paste and copy or drag and drop. Rusty > At 01:26 AM 5/25/2005, Hamish Mackenzie spake thusly:- Talk about going all around the houses. Just open up EZ creator and select either a music or data cd and then select the tracks from within the ap as mentioned below or cut and paste them into the track list and then go to the file menu having put a blank cd in the drive and enter on record. There are a few settings that can be tweaked in here and then you have your cd. No need for the two steps as below. If you really want to keep an image of it it offers you that option once the cd is burned.

I am trying to help a friend who has Roxio 5 and wants to create an image file. I have Roxio 6, and use Creator Classic which I understand, so my options are not the same. It all sounds unfamiliar to me, thinking it would be similar. Also, I want to be sure the CDDB option is working.

Windows Media Player question
When I put a CD in my D drive, it doesn't start to play automatically. I must have checked something in Windows Media Player to prevent it. But, I have Windows Media Player and also Real Player on my computer and neither of these starts automatically. What can I do to change this?

Re: Playing VCD On Cd-Player?
no you cant. for the same reason you couldn't play an avi or mpeg file on one. they aren't audio files. you would have to make an mp3 or wma file or in the case of a home regular cd player it would have to be a wav file. this is very easy to do though and if you convert to something like this it will be a much smaller file and won't take up as much space. - Original Message - From: "Fazil M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list."

Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback
Shane, what unit were you describing? The message was very good, only I was unable to find what you described. Jim - Original Message - From: "Shane Jackson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list. " Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 7:58 PM Subject: Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback Hey there, Will and all. Well, the unit is quite small, and it has several recording modes, both stereo and mono. The stereo and one of the mono settings save their files as Windows Media Audio, and the other two mono modes save their recordings in the proprietary DSS format. All the modes sound quite good. The length of the recording time is as follows, approximately: High-quality stereo, 1HR 10MN; standard stereo 2HR 20MN; High Quality Mono 4HR 40MN; standard Mono 10HR; and low quality mono 22HR. I use mine all the time. The menus all default to there normal setting after you've used them, so there is only a little bit of memorization in order to operate the unit. Battery life is very nice; and it comes with a USB docking cradle, so you do not necessarily need the USB cord, if you don't want to use it. Also, it can be used as a USB microphone and a USB speaker, which can be good if you are using dictation software such as Dragon of ViaVoice. It also has voice activated recording and mic sensativity selections. On playback, it comes with some different noise cancellation settings. The buttons are fairly big, for the most part, and the speaker sounds pretty good. The ear buds that come with the unit are very decent, and it even comes with a carry-case that is cool, too. It uses two tripple A batteries, and it has a headphone input, 3.5MM and a mic input, also 3.5MM. That is the standard MINI stereo plug, in case I got the millimeters wrong. There you have some of the more useful features, and the price tag is around US $149, but it can be found on the internet a little cheaper. Sometime in the not-too-distant future, I may do a review of this little recorder. I trust this information is helpful to the list.

Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback
Michael, I also enjoy your reviews very much. Can you tell me whether the Olympus DS2 has the usual beeps and the ability to hear when one goes from one folder to another? Jim - Original Message - From: "Michael Lang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list. " Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 3:48 PM Subject: Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback Shane, I know the DS-2 and the WS-200s. The DS-2 has bigger buttons and a bigger speaker. It can only record up to one hour in its S-HQ mode, because it has 64 megs of memory and uses 128 KBPS for its S-HQ mode. The WS-200s can record up to four hours in its S-HQ mode, because it has 128 megs of memory and uses 64 KBPS. None of the two can be used with an AC adapter. One can listen to the end of the last recording with the DS-2 by skipping to it and then pressing back, while in stop mode. This isn't possible on the WS-200s, because the WS is just a note taking recorder, while Olympus sees the DS-2 as a kind of dictation machine. Also, to connect the DS-2 with a PC, one has to use a USB cable, but the WS-200s has a built-in USB plug. <*** Michael Lang ***> You wrote: Hello, Michael and list. Michael, I have listned to all your reviews on Main Menu, so your opinion is very high in my book. I just purchased an Olympus DS2, and I love it. Do you have any reviews of this little machine, and if you don't, do you personally have the recorder? I am very interested in comparisons between the DS2 and the WS200S.
