Has anybody ever had this happen?
Listers, Lately I have been experiencing what appears to be a startup problem that manifests itself when plugging in my card reader with a 16gb SCHD card for copying content to my VRStream. Some times, I am told that my device isn't a USB2 device, and I should think about installing USB2 on my system. OK, at least I think I remember it saying something to that effect. When I just press escape to remove the message, my copying definitely is slower than when I don't receive this message. I think I was also having this problem the other night when trying to rip with cdex. The rips were painfully slow. In that case, I went to sleep on it, and the next morning, things were back to normal, and my rips proceeded normally. I'm just wondering if there is a place I can go within the control panel to check on the status of my USB setup in Windows, as in the control panel. And if so, what should I look for. Whenever I look at some of this stuff within device manager, it seems more than a bit over my head, and I consider myself to be an experienced PC user after lo these 20 years g. Anyway, this problem is becoming both annoying and worrisome. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Larry To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Uplift Radio
Gordon McFarlane asked me to post this message for him. ATTENTION - UPLIFT RADIO - A NEW RADIO STATION For the past 9 months or so I've been planning to start an Internet Radio Station and am pleased to announce it began on Monday 31st January at 7am with the Don Treader Breakfast Show. The Station is called Uplift Radio, the idea being that with positive music of all genres, theatre and a diet of encouraging thoughts and quotes, people might feel good after listening. It's on 24/7 and is easily accessible on most Media Players, iPhone and other mobile devices. All schedule, connection and contact details can be found on: www.upliftradio.org Please dip in and hopefully you'll find something you like. After some teething troubles over the past 2 weeks we've decided to re-start one or two series e.g. the ever popular Left Behind dramas available 3 times a day and in an omnibus edition on Saturdays. This will give people who missed it the first time a chance to catch up. Thanks to the moderator for approving this, and to yourselves for hopefully having a listen.

Re: Looking for program to rip audio tracks from CD's and is easyto navigable.
Out of the many I've tried over the years, I like CDEX the best. It's open-source, and free. If you set it up correctly, and have a bit of knowledge of how to review the screen with the mouse cursor, then you can get at a few buttons which aren't tabbable. Read the little pop-up about how to configure the artist backslash album backslash track name format, and you can get it set up with folders just the way you like it. From then on, you can extract cds quickly. I'm using Jaws, and it tends to speak the percentages pretty monotonously, so be sure to check the box that opens the tray after extraction. This way, you can turn Jaws off until the door opens. I hope you like this as much as I do. I'd give the URL, but there's a problem with the main site right now, and so a Google search seems to serve you better.

Software to Convert mp3 to aac
Hello, I am new to this list, and new to audio software, so I hope I'm not rehashing a recently covered topic. I'm using Window Eyes 7.2 on a Vista Home Premium machine. I buy songs and albums from Amazon at 256kbps mp3 and I want to convert them to 128kbps aac. A friend of mine says that Quicktime will do it, but that it only works on one track at a time. Is there something I can get that's accessible and that will do an album at a time? Thanks for any advice. Evan To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Re: Software to Convert mp3 to aac
Hi Evan. Welcome to the list. iTunes will allow you to convert multiple files, even albums or different file types, to M4A (AAC) by default. Can't remember the default bitrate but you can look in the import settings of preferences, accessed with ctrl+comma. Hope this helps. Take care.

If you use ITunes, you can add the folder to your library containing the songs, which will make a copy of the tracks as AAC files if you wish.

Re: Software to Convert mp3 to aac
aac is a different compression algorithm than mp3, so it's not the same quality per given bit rate. I don't think you're seeing what I'm saying here. Listen to any Internet radio stream with a given bit rate for mp3 and the same bit rate for aac. aac sounds much better per given bit rate than mp3.

Winamp Not Playing My Converted Files

It doesn't take that long either. First, I tried aac, then I tried m4a. Both conversions seemed to yield the same size files, so I imagine they're the same bit rate. But my Winamp won't play them. All the CDs I've ripped are in m4a, and Winamp plays those just fine. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Yes, I've heard that before, although I confess I don't really understand it. And how is a user to know what is happening to their files when they are being converted if m4a is only a container? But I know for sure that Winamp plays aac files, but it won't play the converted aac files either. And it is still strange that my Book Sense will play the m4a files, whatever they are encoded as, and my Winamp will not. As far as I am aware, there is not an audio file format that the Book Sense supports that Winamp does not, not for playing music, at any rate. Clearly, I need to do more investigating.

It doesn't take that long either. First, I tried aac, then I tried m4a. Both conversions seemed to yield the same size files, so I imagine they're the same bit rate. But my Winamp won't play them. All the CDs I've ripped are in m4a, and Winamp plays those just fine. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong? I can play the original mp3 files in Winamp, and I can play other m4a files, but not the m4a files in the album I converted. Thanks for any guidance.

Win Amp won't play more than one file, of an album, at a time!
Dear Listers, I have a different problem, than Evan has! My Win Amp version 5.581, using XP Home, with JAWS 12, will only play one file at a time. I had thought that Control A would do the trick, but, it must be a preference setting, right? I may have my preferences screwed up -- I just don't know! In Windows Media Player, Control A does the trick, gaplessly; why not Win Amp 5.581? Did the developers trick this out too much or am I missing something, in preferences?

Re: Software to Convert mp3 to aac
Newer versions of Switch have some accessibility issues when tabbing around the interface, but if you use the menu bar and the hot keys, I think you'll find you can get to everything you need. BTW, I don't have a problem clicking on the interface buttons with the JAWS cursor. In other words, tabbing around the interface and using the space bar or the enter key on different buttons can lead to unexpected results. Using the JAWS cursor to simulate mouse clicks on the different buttons works just fine.

Whenever I try, it starts playing the songs instead of converting them. It also starts playing the songs when I hit the encoder dialog button. Also, I can find no bit rate selection capability in here anywhere. This apparently is not a program for beginners.

You can use Switch, an all-purpose file converter that supports a variety of formats.

Re: Win Amp won't play more than one file, of an album, at a time!
Yes..but if that setting I found out about in preferences is checked (forgotten that quick what it is called)..but if it is checked, it shouldn't be; if it is..something about advanced Manual..or something like that; anyhow..according to the info I was given, if it's checked, it needs to be unchecked..that's what took care of it for me when I had the same problem!
