Re: problem burning DVD's
Allison, Try the combination of AnyDVD and CloneDVD2. They are, on the whole, quite accessible and automatically compress the source files to fit on to a DVD. Clone DVD will burn dual layer disks if you have a DVD9 burner. AnyDVD unlocks the disk and CloneDVD does the copying. They are not free but the price is quite reasonable because there are updates every few weeks at no extra expense.

Re: windows media connect 2
Hi Leslie, If you're talking about trying to fix Game day audio, I uninstalled all of windows media player entirely. If you take this route, you might want to back up any libraries you might be using if you don't want to have to set them up manually again. Since I generally use Real Player, I didn't have to worry about this. I believe the game day audio player is an embedded version of Windows Media player and that it may also use flash player as well somehow. If your question wasn't about game day audio, then I apologize.smile Beth leslie ferrell wrote: Does one also delete windows media connect 2 as well?

play lists in media player 11
Hi I have just worked out how to create playlists for my music albums using windows media player 11. I have several albums with more than one cd but mp11 insists on putting album 4 or 8 or another volume above volume one on a playlist. If I created a separate playlist for each and every cd it would be too complicated. Mp11 also mixes up the tracks on a play list i.e. tracks 1 3 5 and so on and the others are listed at the bottom. I have also noticed mp11 plays the tracks starting with album 4 whether I want it to or not. How can I correct all these problems or prevent them happening in the future?

wmp 11 menu trouble
I just got WMP 11 by accident. So, I figured I'd give it a go. So far, I can get around the player fairly well. I just have one stupid problem. It's the menu bar. No matter whether I turn on classic menus or not, the menu bar gets focus and I can't tab around the main interface. I have to use the Jaws cursor to click on the display to bring focus away from the menu. It's like the menu bar was activated but won't go away. Pressing alt doesn't dismiss it. Actually, there are a few other problems, like: The Jaws keystrokes to focus to the play list or library tree view don't work now.

Re: CPU usage of Sound Forge vs Goldwave
Oh and here's something off Yahoo Answers explaining how to increase your virtual memory. It's very simple, just takes a few keystrokes and costs nothing. right click on My Computer and go down to where it says Properties. You should get an informational screen with a bunch of tabs. Click on the tab that says Advanced. Where it says Performance, click on the Settings button. Click on the Advanced Tab again. Now you should see a page that has your Virtual Memory, click on the Change button. Here you can edit how much virtual memory you want. I generally recommend setting this to no more than 2 times the amount of actual memory you have. So if you have for example 512 Megs of RAM, you would put in 1024 which equals 1 Gig of Virtual Memory.

mp3 converter?
Hi all, Has anyone ever run into a music converter that can convert by bitrate? What I mean is one I can load a folder into and define which files I want converted. Say for example I wanted to have all files with a bitrate greater than 192 kbps converted down to save some space. Normally, I'd either have to go through all the files and find the ones that were over, or just reconvert them all and get lower quality files taking up more space, defeating the whole purpose.

Re: Information and help needed regarding MP3 players
Well, the sighted help I was referring to was pretty minimal. I needed it mostly to get familiar with the player and then when I'd gotten myself in trouble loading some new firmware on it. Others may disagree, but IMHO, if you're gonna play with the Rockbox firmware then you need to be willing to spend some time reading up on what to do, be prepared to experiment with it a bit and be patient and persistent! Knowing a little bit about electronics, at least the terms used, would also help. I don't want to scare anyone off, but you can't go into it thinking it'll work right out of the box, or you'll probably be pretty disappointed and frustrated. If you do get it all working, it is pretty sweet! Dan Murphy wrote: Actually I was thinking more along the lines of one of the smaller flash players with 1 or 2 GB, although the iriver one sounds interesting. Our access to sighted help is somewhat tenuous since the person who could help us is a partial who gets headaches when looking at the screen too long. As I said before, I would be happy with a machine that I could simply hook up to the Usb port on the PC and just drag files into it and as long as I know where the basic navigation keys on the player are that would be fine. dan Murphy mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM:mweeby2000 - Original Message - From: Christopher Chaltain [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 2:25 AM Subject: Re: Information and help needed regarding MP3 players I'm not familiar with the Sony series you mentioned, but what kind of MP3 player are you looking for? Are you looking for a compact flash based MP3 player that has maybe 1GB or 2GM of storage, or are you looking for a hard drive based player that has 20GB, 40GB or more of storage? With the compact flash based player you have several choices. The one that I'm familiar with is the Nomad MuVo from Creative. Unfortunately, Creative doesn't distribute it anymore, but you might find one on the web somewhere. It doesn't have a display and just a few buttons to adjust the volumen and volume and skip from song to song. There are a few other similar options on the market, like the iPod Shuffle. The nice thing about the MuVo that I have is that it doesn't come with any software, it's just a UMS device on your computer and you can use Windows Explorer to move MP3's over to it. It also plays WMA and DRM files, so you can use it with Audible and Overdrive. In the area of a harddrive based MP3 player, I recently just got myself an iRiver H10 20GB MP3 player and I loaded the Rockbox firmware on it. You may need some patience and sighted help to get this working, but if you do, you end up with a device that has spoken menus and even spoken song titles, although it doesn't have TTS built into it. You can still get the iRiver H10 on line, in a 5GB, 6GB and 20GB version. I got mine recently from woot.com for $99. Sorry I don't have information on any newer players, but I'm just sharing my personal experience and remember, these are just my opinions. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask! Dan Murphy wrote: Hi all. I have recently been tempted to look into some kind of mp3 player that is evenminimally usable. A friend of mine recently purchased a Sony NWE series unit and it's very nice to look at but the file management software that comes with it doesn't get along well at all with Jaws 5.10. As I am very new to all this I haven't paid much attention to all the messages on here about the various players and their levels of usability for blind people, so I need to do some catching up. I'm not interested in the apple product line since I understand their music format is totally proprietary, and I would mostly be using it to listen to my own stuff that I have recorded. I also don't need something with a radio built in since I own several AM/FM radios that work fine with headphones and can be used for that purpose. also I wouldn't mind just being able to forward and rewind through the songs, because I really don't want to have to spend a lot of money, and anyway, I would just have them all arranged in one folder. I quite liked the look of the Sony, it was very nice and small, and the buttons seemed accessible enough, but I was mostly trying to see if I could get the software to work even slightly with Jaws, and so I really didn't learn too much about the player itself. any suggestions, comments, pointers are welcome. thanks in advance.

Re: Information and help needed regarding MP3 players
I'm not sure that the fact you're looking at longer playing audio would change the parameters you're looking for. It may be that that longer playing audio is captured at a lower bit rate, so actually takes up less space. If you have these shows already downloaded to your PC, you can take a look at them and see how big they are and then calculate how much space you need, based on how frequently you'd want to update them on your MP3 player. Right now I use a 128MB Nomad MuVo from Creative to listen to audio books from Overdrive and Audible. Although it would be nice if it were a bit bigger, these are usually things I don't need to keep around forever, especially with the books from Overdrive, which expire in two weeks. Copying a new book over to my MuVo every few days, at most, is no big deal. I use my 20GB iRiver to store my music. This works out, since I generally want to keep my music around for a while and have a large selection of music to choose from when I'm listening to music without having to copy it over to a small compact flash based MP3 player every time. I'm guessing that you'd still want a 1GB or 2GB compact flash based MP3 player. I'm not sure what's accessible out there right now, but the MuVo Mix from Creative would fit the bill. Once again, Creative doesn't distribute them any more, but you could still find them I'm sure. The iPod Shuffle is accessible, but the trick is getting the music onto the Shuffle. I think there are JAWS scripts and 3rd party applications that can help with this. There are also products made specifically for the blind, like the Bookport, which will work, but they tend to be a bit more expensive. As I'm rambling on, I think someone also suggested the recorders from Olympis, which sound like they would be a good option as well. Hopefully others will chime in soon. Good luck with whatever you decide. Mike Pietruk wrote: Christopher Thanks for all that info. I am looking for something similar to Dan except, in my case, what I need is something that has a large enough capacity that it can handle podcasts and other downloaded audio shows for listening in the car. So ideally it would be something that either my sighted wife or I could transfer shows from a pc to it and that either one of us could handle in the car. The Iriver, given its capacities, sounds as if this may be what we are after. I'll be awaiting others comments here and elsewhere. I realize that most folks get these players for music; but neither my wife or I are much into that. Does this fact that we are looking for playing back longer time audio podcasts rather than 3-4 minutes of music cuts change the parameters at all?
