Subject: Re: gigs, megs, megabytes How many megs are in a gig, and with 80 gigs, how many CDs can I put on the hard drive. at the risk of sounding a bit pedantic, 1 gb is just under 1100 mb. You must remember that your 80gb drive needs to be formatted before it's ready for storing data. From personal experience the formatting data in itself could take up to 5 percent or more of disk space. How many megs would a CD take up? That depends on the length of the CD. the average length of a pop or rock CD is usually around the 60 minutes mark but that could vary hugely with live recordings. The approximate conversion ratio is 1 mb per minute.

Well today I got an iRiver iFP-899 and installed the music manager software and downloaded the most recent firmware for the 800 series, at least that's what it says. So I let the upgrade process complete, and the player powered off. This upgrade is supposed to let the player show up as a drive in my computer, in my case it would probably be drive g. However, when I closed the music manager software and powered the player back on, windows definitely recognizes the device, but it's not showing up as a drive. The only way I can see the folders like record and voice, is if I launch the music manager. The driver and the software all seem to show up ok under the device manager and everything checks out accept for this. Can anyone tell me how I might resolve this? i would really rather not use that stupid music manager.

RE: gigs, megs, megabytes
Just two more mentions. Why would anyone want to store CD Audio or cda files on their computer. That doesn't make sense. A cda audio file takes up tons of room compared to an mp3 file. There's no difference to the quality as far as I can tell. Also, I wouldn't create and store ogg files. You can burn a data album of mp3's from your computer and play it in many home CD and DVD players, Sony Discman etc. But you can't burn a data disc of ogg files and do the same.

weird skype sound issue...
Hi I just upgraded to the latest version of Skype. I gave the Echo123 test device a call, and I noticed that the sound quality was pretty decent, but it was all slowed down. In other words, the recording came on and as it went on, it got slower and slower and when it came time for me to speak, it sounded very strange. There was this weird sort of delay effect. I did everything in the skype knowledge base, making sure that the right settings were set and they were. But the problem still persists. I even uninstalled and re-installed thinking that would help, but nothing seems to be working. It worked just fine before, but now this? hmmm. Anyone have any ideas about how to fix this one? I'd like to take care of this before I make any actual skype calls. ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: opening wma files in goldwave 5.10
Hi Timn. Goldwave will open WMA files with no problems but I have noticed that it will not save WMA files that have been ripped using media player 10. To save the file you need to convert to one of the 9.1 formats in the goldwave save attributes. Regards.

QBass vs. Sonar with JAWS
Its been a long time since I've been on this list. However I come to you all with a question. Has anyone used the softwhere package QBass for midi recording, and multi-track audio from keyboard mmoduals etc? I don't know if scripts exist for this package or what. I'm needing to upgrade CakeWalk Pro-Audio 9 to something, and I wasn't sure if there was any cheaper option then Sonar and the scripts. Please if you have any ideas pass them along. If there are other programs with scripts that may be available, what are the pros and cons of each? Would said programs be intuitive to use, and have similar functionality to Sonar?
