Hi chris and all. I went back and downloaded winamp again and now it is
fine. No tool bars and junk Now I have to learn how to use it. Are there any
jaws settings or winamp settings that work best with jaws.

I'm curious, what kind of other junk does Winamp put on your system that you
can't control during installation? I guess I never noticed that the full
version dumped much stuff on my system.

Recording level in GoldWave

2013-05-11 Thread Howard Traxler
I've been ripping my LPs, open reels, and cassettes to .wav files using 
GoldWave.  The volume level of the resulting files vary by quite a bit.  I 
can't get an idea of just how much until I finish editing and convert them to 
mp3 files.  I then use MP3Gain to get them to the level I want.  Not really 
understanding the measure of level in decabels, I just make them all 94 which 
sounds ok to me and is close to how loud my JAWS with Eloquence talks.

I'm wondering if there's a way that I can tell earlier in the process if I need 
to raise or lower the recording level in GoldWave?

Any suggestions?  Thank you.
Howard

Goldwave V U meter

2013-05-11 Thread Donald L. Roberts
Regardless of which screen reader you use, is anyone on this list able 
to read reliably the Goldwave V U meter. I am using version 5.67 but 
cannot figure out how to read the meter with either Window-eyes or with 
Jaws. I am not using scripts for either screen reader for Goldwave. So 
if you are able to read the V U meter, please tell me which screen 
reader you use, whether you are using some sort of script, and the 
specific key presses to read the V U meter.


One more question if I may. In the tools menue, what difference does it 
make whether one checks the control key option?


Thanks.

Did Anyone See My Post On Sounds?

2013-05-11 Thread Tom Kaufman
Hi list:  Yesterday I posted a question concerning my windows sounds getting 
lost (I have no windows sounds) no one has responded as yet!  I hardly believe 
that there isn't _someone_ on this list who can help me get my windows sounds 
back!  I've tried different combinations..to no avail!  So figured (in case 
maybe some of you didn't see it) I'd post it again: yesterday after using Total 
Recorder, my windows sounds went missing!  As far as I know, I'm running the 
latest version of Try, with no problem until yesterday!  I knew the sounds 
would be missing as soon as I closed it, for when I got back to the desk top, I 
heard it say "Untitled (or whatever TRY says) although the TRY window wasn't 
even up!  I'm reasonably sure there's a "fix" for this; I just cannot remember 
what it is!  So hopefully someone on here can point me in the right direction 
and I can get my email sounder and other Windows sounds back again!
Thank you!

I recently put my cd collection on my hard drive in mp3 format and I got
this real cool toy called an audio engine wireless adapter that sends the
music downstairs to the stereo. I am using windows media player with
windows
7. I would like to be able to use shuffle mode to shuffle a play list.
If I
turn shuffle on, the songs are picked from the whole collection. Now we
don't want that because we don't want to hear Christmas songs  in the
middle
of may. In the play list options sufffle list is unavailable. I tried
winamp
but cant stand it because it puts all kinds of other junk on the

Also when I stop the play list, it doesn't tell me what track is playing.
Any ideas? thanks
