Re: Not hearing some XP sounds
As you go through the tree view each item you can attach a sound to. Just highlight one, tab, alt down arrow and choose the sound you want for that item by pressing enter. If you want to test the sound first then tab and there will be a play button. Note: when you return to the list of sounds you must always do the alt+down arrow to go through the list. ** A mind is a terrible thing robert Doc Wright http://www.wrightplaceinc.net msn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Click to call me http://me.vonage.com/robwright - Original Message - From: Norma A.

Burning and Extraction Problems
I'm running XP Service Pack 2. Everything is updated including Windows Media Player 11 My problem is that I can't get any third party software to recognize the one burner I have. It's a very generic burner-I can't even remember the name of it-but it only wants to work with Windows Media Player. That's all well and good and I have WMP set up the way I want it. My point is that these other programs should work on my machine. I've tried Nero Burning ROM and Roxio's Creator Classic for burning and copying files and the burner isn't recognized. Every menu function pertaining to it is disabled. If I use CDex to rip a CD it will not compress the file. I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

I use Jango all the time and I just brought up the site again to make sure they haven't changed anything while I was sleeping last night. The first edit field I come to says, enter artist, and right underneath that is a play button. Also, there is a combo box with every station I've ever listened to in there.

Callburner Problems
Hello List! Callburner always seems to be causing me problems when I am using Skype. Recently, I downloaded and installed a new version of Callburner and, almost immediately, it started working poorly. Whenever I try to set the options or simply click on a choice, I get a big boom that tells me I violated some rule. Now the program simply does not work. I removed new version and reinstalled older version, as well as restored my system to the time prior to upgrading Callburner; this has not helped, as I still get the same info and problems. I am using the current version of skype, I haven't upgraded skype lately. If I cannot get Callburner to work properly, is there another program that is similar in function and pretty straightforward in using. I just want to set the program to record whenever I make a call, save the recording, and get out of the way when I am not using it. Callburner is beginning to bother me big-time.

Magicjack and Screenreaders
Hello James! To answer your question about Magicjack and Screenreaders (JAWS or Windows-eyes), yes, a blind person can use it just fine. All you do is insert the Magicjack into a USB port and it installs itself temporarily. You have to answer a few questions at the sign-in screen the first time, but that is it. The interface on the screen is not to accessible, but it has a skype-like interface and you can enter numbers and there is a dial and hang-up button. However, once the program is loaded, you can minimize the screen, so Magicjack is hidden or minimized; then you can plug a regular house phone into the MJ unit and you are ready to go. You get a regular dial-tone and you can make phone calls directly from the regular phone. You don't even have to use the screen at all. It works directly like a regular phone. One thing: On my old Dell Desktop, once I plug the MJ unit, the sound goes to the phone (XP Pro); however, when I plug the MJ unit into the HP Desktop (Vista) I don't get the same effect and the sound stays with the computer. You can turn off JAWS and just use the phone. Some guy said you could start JAWS first and plug in the MJ unit later and the USB may not take over the sound card. Like I said, MJ is definitely usable via the phone regardless of your screenreader. I have the unit and it works fine. They could, however, do a little script-type work on the screen interface. The good thing about it is that, once you get the unit, your phone costs go way down. You only have to pay a small licensing fee in succeeding years ($18 a year for me, as I bought unit early, but it may be cheaper for current purchasers). Free long distance in US and Canada and skype-type credits for calling abroad. I think, however, that, if you sent a friend or relative in another country a unit, you could have free long-distance calling, as long as you both are logged on or if you call your MJ number and it is in England, they could answer it and pay nothing. I like that. James 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: So does Magic Jack work with JAWS?
I haven't received mine yet, but it's got one end that connects to a USB port in your computer and the other end connects to a telephone. You apparently plug it in; It installs itself to your computer and you can call long-distance anywhere in the United States for about $19.95 a year. You can probably call other places, but I can't remember the specifics of that. Go to http://www.magicjack.com And yes, apparently, with a little up front caution, it does work well with screen readers.

Re: zen 2gig stone
Hi. Just so you know, the zen stone is not an ipod. The ipod is an mp3 player. The zen stone is also an mp3 player. Yes, the zen stone seams to be workable. I got stuck once but I think if you hit select a whole bunch you'll eventually find yourself back in the file player portion and you can get back to where ever you wanted to go from there. Question though, how do you record? Also, my fm radio sucks in this area, I mean really really bad. It only picks up one station and that stations, amazingly enough, isn't as local as another station which doesn't pick up hardly at all, not even when I'm in town which is where the station broadcasts from, strange. From home we can hear it but the static is really bad. Any crazy things that can be done to help one of these things pick up signal? P.S. , I found out that you can see your battery status by installing creative media light, it tells you on the status line at the end what your battery is. Also, you can indeed copy music files onto it with windows explorer. The only requirement of something else to do the job is for drm protected digital media.

Please...Re: Magicjack and Screenreaders
Hi All, Ok, about Magic Jack, glad your doing ok with it. I tried it as it so states in its set up and nothing went right. So far, it has taken me two days to try and figure out what the heck went wrong. I cannot find anything that it downloaded, this is necessary in order to clean out my system and possibly try again. But here is the really bad thing; all my sounds are gone now. I go into the sound settings and try loading up one of my own or any other and no go. I tried just setting one, like windows start and when I click the play button to as if test the sound, a dialouge box shows and says that this media file cannot be played because my sound card is now in use and as far as I know, this is bunk. My jaws works ok, but no sounds in any program. I use to get a sound to notify me that I got email, now nothing; and so on. So, does anyone know how to get my sound card working again? I really would like to get MJ working but not at the expense of jaws or any other interference. Any ideas out there?
