Re: Is there an accessible MP3 player that works with Rhapsody?
thanks for the correction on that, I don't use Rhapsody. Comcast used to provide Rhapsody radio, but I don't know if they do any more. - Original Message - From: Christopher Chaltain cchalt...@austin.rr.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2009 10:02 PM Subject: Re: Is there an accessible MP3 player that works with Rhapsody? From the review at http://mp3.about.com/od/digitalmusicdelivery/fr/Rhapsodyreview.htm, it says: File Formats: Rhapsody has its own DRM system just like the iTunes Store does to protect its music files. The DRM system that is used is known as Helix. The file format that is used with this encryption technology is RAX (AAC encapsulated in Helix). You can alternatively download WMA files if you prefer; these are protected with Microsoft’s WMDRM system. I don't use Rhapsody myself, but the implication that you could only get Real audio files from Rhapsody didn't sound right to me, so a quick trip to Google gave me the above information.

Greetings list: I teach a music appreciation class at a local community college. In the fall of this year, I am switching to a new textbook, The Musical Experience by John Chiego. Every instructor of the class receives a year of Rhapsody to Go which allows one to transfer songs from Rhapsody to a supported MP3 player. Each chapter of the text has an accompanying playlist. I am familiar with using Rhapsody and have no trouble there. I have also been playing with Applian Technology's Replay Media Catcher program to grab the playlists and convert them to MP3 files. Applian says this is legal, but I have to wonder if Rhapsody would be thrilled. I will use Media Catcher if I have no other option, but an MP3 player with attached speakers would be preferable to CDs and a boom box anyway. Does anyone have any experience with any of the MP3 players supported by Rhapsody? Any help would be appreciated.

(Direct email contact at end of message) Ray Forwarded message. Please do pass this around any lists you can, I need as much feedback as possible. Dear all, Many thanks to those of you who have contacted me recently regarding Internet Explorer 8, and the compatibility issues that Microsoft have with embedded real audio. I have two separate and long conversations with Microsoft IE8 technical support over the last couple of days, and they have confirmed that there is a serious compatibility issue. To cut a long story short, I believe that those of you who received the update for Internet Explorer 8 in the last few days (roll out began March 18) will only hear silence when accessing http://www.pressakey.net and any other page on the Audio Network. As yet, there are no plans for a patch to fix this problem. I'm asking for your help in confirming this issue, which I am going to take to Bill Gates if I have to. Please would you let me know if you can hear any audio on the following web page, and what browser you are using. It means a lot to be able to show Microsoft that is is a real issue with more than one person. Please try to listen to http://www.pressakey.net/ Just for yours and everybody else's information, I did a quick count up of the total page views and visitors for the Audio Network over the last 12 months. On average there are over 400 visits per day, and over the last 12 months visitors have opened up almost half a million pages - I know that is small compared to the big guns I am talking with, but I hope that those kind of numbers might just show them that people are finding the site useful, informative, fun, and a part of their lives on a regular basis!

Replay Converter 3.32 audio alerts settings response from developer to me
Petro saids Wait for the new Replay AV 8 whenever it comes out and you will get the latest version of Replay Converter included and installed at the same time. The developer said You are very welcome. When I added the audio alerts I had you and the blind community in mind. There will actually be another update to Replay Converter coming soon. In the next version, I decided to add different audio alerts depending if a conversion was successful or not. The version that is out now just alerts when a conversion process finished no matter if it was successful or not.

Re: music sound editer
Hello Kieth. Haven't time to give links, but there is quite a choice of sound editors that work with screen readers generally including JFW. Paid for stereo editors include: Sony: Sound Forge, Sound Studio Goldwave Studio Recorder from A P H. - this doesn't need scripts or anything as it is designed from the ground up to be accessible. Can be used for music, but is primarily meant for speech editing. Audacity, which is freeware or open source software. Believe there are JFW scripts for this one. It is a multi-track editor but can of course be used for stereo editing. In the multi-track field there is Sonar or Cakewalk which it developped from I believe. tthis is a combined audio and midi editor and very much aimed at musicians. Think the scripts here come from Dancing Dots. Finally, their is Adobe Audition, but how well this works with JFW I simply don't know. this was known as Cool Edit until Adobe acquired it, since when it has gone through a few inaccessible versions, but I hear things are beginning to be put right re. post version 3. So, hope all that helps and a bit of Googling will turn up the info you need. keith wrote: Hello to everyone my name is keith and I would like to know if there is a music sound editer that is screenreader friendly.

Re: converting other file types
I use Switch Audio File Conversion Software from http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html. You can download the trial ware for free. When the trial period runs out, you can still convert WMA to MP3 using the free version of Switch. Since you're converting from one lossless format to another, will result in a loss of sound quality. It isn't clear whether this would be noticeable or not though. That would depend in part on the type of audio and the bit rates and sampling rates used in the source and target files.

While the subject matter is wide ranging, this is not a forum for the discussion of non-pc-audio matters. There are many other lists for political or other discussions.

RE: Affordable cell phone and talking software
Sorry, I didn't know it was off topic since it pertained to talking devices. I will follow your suggestion.

Not only is it off topic, but you won't get as many good responses as you would by sending it to a list like the Accessible Phones Discussion List. You can get more information on that list, view the archives and subscribe by going to the URL http://mosenexplosion.com/mailman/listinfo/blindphones_mosenexplosion.com. When you post your question there, I'd suggest adding some information to your question, such as what you mean by basic cell phone that will speak to me. I'm guessing you want to make and receive phone calls, want to know phone status (such as battery levels, connection strength and so on) and move through some of the phone's menus. what about text messaging, contact list and other PIM applications? Also, do you know what network you'll be on? You have a different set of choices if you're going with CDMA versus GSM, for example. Also, where you live will make a difference. Good luck!

RE: Is there an accessible MP3 player that works with Rhapsody?
I'm not sure what format the playlist of files from the textbook are in. Not sure how to get at that info since I can't actually download the files. Thanks. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Vic Beckley Sent: Monday, March 30, 2009 9:09 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Is there an accessible MP3 player that works with Rhapsody? I use Rhapsody WMA files all the time with Winamp and WMP. As long as you keep your licenses up to date by running the Rhapsody software every so often, they play just fine with any media player that is aware of Windows media DRM.

From the review at http://mp3.about.com/od/digitalmusicdelivery/fr/Rhapsodyreview.htm, it says: File Formats: Rhapsody has its own DRM system just like the iTunes Store does to protect its music files. The DRM system that is used is known as Helix. The file format that is used with this encryption technology is RAX (AAC encapsulated in Helix). You can alternatively download WMA files if you prefer; these are protected with Microsoft's WMDRM system. I don't use Rhapsody myself, but the implication that you could only get Real audio files from Rhapsody didn't sound right to me, so a quick trip to Google gave me the above information.

Greetings list: I teach a music appreciation class at a local community college. In the fall of this year, I am switching to a new textbook, The Musical Experience by John Chiego. Every instructor of the class receives a year of Rhapsody to Go which allows one to transfer songs from Rhapsody to a supported MP3 player. Each chapter of the text has an accompanying playlist. I am familiar with using Rhapsody and have no trouble there. I have also been playing with Applian Technology's Replay Media Catcher program to grab the playlists and convert them to MP3 files. Applian says this is legal, but I have to wonder if Rhapsody would be thrilled. I will use Media Catcher if I have no other option, but an MP3 player with attached speakers would be preferable to CDs and a boom box anyway. Does anyone have any experience with any of the MP3 players supported by Rhapsody? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: plugins for gold wave
They wouldn't. What I'm saying is that, for someone who hasn't already purchased Gold Wave and wishes to, they should do so now because the cost will go up for version 5.5. However, the GWVoice plugin will be integrated into Gold Wave.
