accessible MP3 player
I would like some info on the MP3 player people were talking about that can be used independently by blind people. If there is a tutorial or any other info please direct me to this, as I am looking for one that I can put my songs on and travel with. I don't know how many gigs this player holds or much about it at all, so would appreciate any help.

RE: Goldwave, Changing file formats.
Hi Vinni, Go into Gold Wave, Hit control+O and open the wav file. Hit Alt+F and down-arrow to save As and press enter. You will be in the filename field. Press tab and you will be in a field where you can choose the file type. Press down-arrow until you find the file type you want. I hit it twice to save as MPEG (MP3). Then you can hit Tab a few times until you get to a list of attributes; where you can change the MP3 file attributes (128kbps/192kbps, mono/stereo). Then hit tab until you get to the save button and press enter.

Re: accessible MP3 player
Are you looking for an off the shelf MP3 player or one designed specifically for the blind? The Victor Stream has been talked about recently. I think it's by HumanWare, and it was designed especially for the blind. If that's the one you're talking about, someone else can provide more information. I don't have one and haven't seen one yet. If you're looking for a simple off the shelf MP3 player, I don't think you could do better than the Zen Stone from Creative. It's a small compact flash MP3 player that has 1GB of memory. It has no screen and uses no special software. Therefore, it's easy to use by the blind, and you can just use Windows Explorer to copy files to it. It also supports Overdrive, and I would assume NetLibrary and Audible as well. Another option is Rockbox, which is an open source replacement for the firmware that runs on an off the shelf MP3 player. Rockbox has some features that speak menus and folders/files out loud, so although it was designed for the blind, it can be used by the blind to access an off the shelf MP3 player. It takes a bit to set up, and not every MP3 player is supported, but you can learn more at rockbox.org. Finally, if you're more specific about what you're looking for, I'm sure you will get more info from this list. Dane Trethowan wrote: Do you want something basic?

Below are two problems I am experiencing with CallBurner since I upgraded to Skype Version 3.6. (1) I have been using CallBurner for months and, up until upgrading to Skype Version 3.6 from Version 3.5, things went well; however, now that I have Skype Version 3.6, during a call, the recording is half done. The CallBurner Program records both voices, but only my voice (from my system) is intelligible and the second party's voice is low and recorded at a very slow rate (speed). The recording sounds like a record, with a secondary sound behind it. I use to hear all clear voices at the same quality. Could you tell me what to do to get this feature working again. I want a clear and high quality recording of both aspects of the conversation. (2) Also, If I make call with Callburner loaded and activated, I cannot get any tone activity on a certain call and the numbers do not activate or do what the choice asks for; however, once CallBurner is turned off, all phone tones are available and work. I generally have to redo the settings, but they only work for one session and then go back to acting strangely. If I don't load callburner, then there is no problem with tones or activation of numbers or selections. Several or many visually impaired users have spoken of the same problem as stated above. CallBurner is a good program and we enjoy using it. I hope you can assist me in clearing up the problems outlined above.

Re: Hello am looking for some advice in converting tapes to cd.
Try Gold Wave, since your space is limited, it may be the easiest solution. You might want to try out a free solution, cdex, available from: http://www.jfwlite.com/programs which can record from your computer directly into mp3 format. If you're going to make CDS from those, I'd record to *.wav first, then to your CD though *.wav files are about 12 times larger than mp3 but no loss or audio changes in quality can be heard if you use 44,100Hz sampling at 16bit. If you wish to play around with audio a good bit, Sue, you should think about using a larger hard drive since 20Gigabytes will get used up in a good bit of a hurry. :) grin One side of a cassette, 45 minutes at that bit rate will take up half a gigabyte in *.wav format, and though a good bit smaller using *.mp3 format, you want the best quality in your CDS so you should, as I said earlier record to *.wav first, then rip them, and delete the *.wav or make them *.mp3s and go on from there to the next project. There are tutorials for GoldWave, and the registration is only $50 or so here in the United States, and it can automatically make files for you which would correspond to tracks on a cd from your audio tapes. You need cabling between your cassette machine's stereo output, probably 2 RCA jacks on the machine, to your computer's sound card input, probably a one-eighth inch stereo mini jack. Let us know if any of us can be of further assistance.

Am using this program from Readingmadeeasy.com. It allows me to create data and audio cds. What I would like to do is somehow convert my tapes to MP3 format then I could transfer to cd. I did look at two programs which are audio grabber and audacity. Since I only have a 20 GB hard drive with 256 MB of ramcould this work? Also if I were going to do this I also know I would need some sort of cable to go from my computer to my tape deck. I do have a tape player about the size of the walkman, could I use that? What kind of cable would I need. Also am using Window Eyes and since am looking at those programs I have mentioned, I did look at the memory and the space they would take up. Would this work? Am looking at an hour tape to convert to cd. I am also running Windows XP. So if anyone has su ggestions on how to do this since this is my first time in making cds and loving it. Thank you.

Re: accessible MP3 player
What do you mean by any file type? I'm no expert, but I doubt you'll find an MP3 player that will play absolutely any file type. I know you can get MP3 players with large hard drives, in the order of 60GB and 8GB drives, that will work with Rockbox. I suspect they'll support most file types, but they won't work with some of the proprietary types, such as DRM, WMA, whatever iTunes uses, Actually, I think you can play WMA files with Rockbox now. You could double check the web site. It will play FLAC for example. I haven't canvased all of the MP3 players on the market, but I would suspect that off the shelf they aren't going to support all of the open source formats. I'm also not sure you'll find an MP3 player that will support both Apple's and Microsoft's proprietary formats. If it supports the file types you're interested in, I suspect Rockbox will be your best option. DJ DOCTOR P wrote: Hello everyone, I to am looking for an MP3 player. But I not only need and wanted to be assessable, I need and wanted to play any audio file type. I will be offloading lossless audio files on to it, so the hard drive in this MP3 player has to have a lot of hard disc space. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. John.

The Victor Stream has been talked about recently. I think it's by HumanWare, and it was designed especially for the blind. If that's the one you're talking about, someone else can provide more information. I don't have one and haven't seen one yet. If you're looking for a simple off the shelf MP3 player, I don't think you could do better than the Zen Stone from Creative. It's a small compact flash MP3 player that has 1GB of memory. It has no screen and uses no special software. Therefore, it's easy to use by the blind, and you can just use Windows Explorer to copy files to it. It also supports Overdrive, and I would assume NetLibrary and Audible as well. Another option is Rockbox, which is an open source replacement for the firmware that runs on an off the shelf MP3 player. Rockbox has some features that speak menus and folders/files out loud, so although it was designed for the blind, it can be used by the blind to access an off the shelf MP3 player. It takes a bit to set up, and not every MP3 player is supported, but you can learn more at rockbox.org. Finally, if you're more specific about what you're looking for, I'm sure you will get more info from this list. Dane Trethowan wrote: Do you want something basic? That is to say, something that just plays MP3 files without any thrills or anything like that? Are you able to use a CD Player? Well if the answer to these questions is yes and you don't have all that much money to spend then the Ipod Shuffle is highly recommended.

If there is a tutorial or any other info please direct me to this, as I am looking for one that I can put my songs on and travel with. I don't know how many gigs this player holds or much about it at all, so would appreciate any help.
