Re: playing audio files on nls player
It's been a while since I've done it, but I'm pretty sure the NLS player will find MP3 files in any folder. You don't need to sue a special folder name for your MP3 files. The FAQ at http://www.azlibrary.gov/braille/faq.aspx doesn't list any special folder name, but the web site at http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/tbbl/bard/bookshelf.htm does say you should use the folder name audio+podcasts.

Could somebody please refresh my memory on how to create the folder to accept audio files? Thanks so much.

playing audio files on nls player
Thanks to Jason and Christopher Well Jason I told you I had it working. It was working while in the computer but when I put it in the nls player it didn't recognize it. Christopher gave me the info from the New York braille library and the folder has to be named audio+podcasts. That it does recognize and it's working in my player just fine now.

Re: playing audio files on nls player
Bud, you only need the audio+podcasts directory if you are including NLS books on the cartridge. earlier, Bud Schwab, wrote: Thanks to Jason and Christopher Well Jason I told you I had it working.

Re: playing audio files on nls player
Oh, I get the picture now. Actually I do use this one cartridge for nls books that I download and also use it for some audio files. I never keep the books after I have read them so there's always lots of room on the cartridge. Thanks for the clue though.

Keystroke to jump back to the first song in a song list being played in Windows Media Player12
Hello. Using JFW 14, Win7, WMP12 I right click on a folder full of many mp3 songs and select 'play with WMP' in for WMP to start all the songs in that folder one after the next. CTRL b moves back one song at a time. Is there any keystroke to jump back to the first song in the list after WMP is say half way down playing my list? I want WMP12 to resume play again from the beginning of the said song list without having to close WMP and restart from scratch.

Hello Prateek: I cannot tell you the answer you want, because I do not use WMP for that, but I can tell you that it is very easy to do, as well as to use the arrow keys to go forward or backward fast and easily in a playlist of any length , as the one created when you play a folder from Windows Explorer, when you use MaPlEr instead of WMP.

Does Itunes replace or make copies of files it converts from wma to aac?
A bit of ranting here. Sorry about that. Does Itunes replace or make copies of files it converts from wma to aac? I've searched the web for this answer but did not find out. Hope someone here knows. I just installed the latest Itunes. I wanted to add music from another drive using add folder to library. iTunes One or more of the songs you are adding to iTunes, including “01 graphic 870 Rubber Bullets [Long Version].wma”, are in the WMA format. iTunes will automatically convert them to the AAC format so that they can be added to your iTunes library. Convert Skip I accidently hit escape twice when leaving the Jaws virtual viewer and missed being able to hit the skip button. Itunes started processing the library even though I pressed escape? I don't know if it was skipping or processing all those .wma files. Looks like it didn't start converting because there were no .aac files found in the folder when I looked with Windows Explorer search. I'd thought I'd forgotton to turn on restore previous versions for that drive after reinstalling Windows 7. I couldn't find a previous version for the folder. However, I did find previous versions in the drive's properties. I searched for all .aac files on my system and only found one very old. I right clicked and open with which was not a menu but opened a dialog that was hard to work with Jaws. I finally got it to see Itunes but accidently hit enter before unchecking always use this program to open this type. Itunes didn't open. Now when I right click that file the open with is a sub menu with Windows Media Player and Itunes in it. Also choose default program. So, I screwed up once again. Makes a grown man weap! I can't believe they would make it hard to import wma files. I have so many I don't want to convert. I'll have to back them up first. I hate software that makes me choose without preperation. Itunes already sucks! Can't I keep Itunes from damaging or changing my origenal wma files? If I check this; Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library, will it make converted copies and place them in the Itunes folder leaving the origenal wma files in their place?

Re: Does Itunes replace or make copies of files it converts from wma to aac?
iTunes leaves your original WMA file alone. I haven't done this myself, but I found this on the web page http://www.apple.com/findouthow/music/itunes.html#management-convertwma Since WMA is a MS proprietary format, requiring Apple to pay MS a license, I'm surprised they do anything with WMA files at all.

You may or may not know that Winap enables you to time jump the playback cursor to a specific time point. If you type CTRL+J you will be prompted to enter a time. For example, if you want to jump the cursor to 22 minutes and 35 seconds you would type 22:35 and press Enter. IF you want to jump to the 2 hour 28 minute mark you would type 148:00. This is because Winamp appears to operate in minutes recognition mode as opposed to the hh/mm/ss format. Alternatively, Winamp also enables time markers to be defined and to move from one specified time marker to another, very analogous to setting bookmarks in a digital book audio file. To set a time kmarker you would type m, and to go to a preset time marker type alt+shift+M. I hope this helps.
