Re: Skullcandy PLYR 2 Wireless headset?Mic Unit Review
I wonder what thhis one is like compared to the Plantronics Audio 995 wireless headset that kind of uses an oversized flash drive-shaped thing for it's USB transmitter? Ironically, back when I first wanted a wireless headset with a mic, you were stuck with bluetooth that will lag and sound like a phone call, but it seems now that there are a few other choices around, the plantronics I mentioned, this Skullcandy one, and I thought Logitech makes one too, and there might be others that have a mic and are wireless. - Original Message - From: Petro Giannakopoulos petro...@clear.net To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, July 18, 2014 7:49 PM Subject: Skullcandy PLYR 2 Wireless headset?Mic Unit Review I bought this Skullcandy PLYR 2 Headset with microphone from Radio Shack for $99+ but I noticed Amazon has them for $89 but not sure about the shipping.

There is a way to mute the microphone but I have not tested it. You have push/move the mic down and it mutes. Move it back up and it unmutes the mic. The right ear cup has on the outside flat side a round rocker control. It is about the size in diameter like a penny or 16-18mm circle. Cannot miss this control. If you push up this control to 12 o'clock position the volume will go up in increments. At 6 o'clock the volume will go down. At 3 'o clock its for gaming mode and 9 0'clock its for voice mode. I use the 9 0'clock here. I pushed towards 9 o'clock position. To the left of this rocker control there is a power button. You will find it once you know. We are still on the right ear cup. It has a EQ presets. 3 presets you can choose from. Base, premium and I forget the other one. It slides up and down and clicks. Also next to this presets area there is a mini USB slot which you connect the loose mini USB connector that extends from the transmitter
Audio players for listening to internet streams
Hello I have not been part of this mailing list for many years but have just resubscribed. Can anyone please help?

Hello Brian: I mostly listen to my station http://radiogeneral.com from Internet Explorer using the Flsh add-on, but there are many programs from which you may open a radio stream, including Windows Media.

I do not know about the Plantronics 995 unit. I have not encountered any issues with the Skullcandy PLYR 2 Wireless Headset. I got to test it with a Skype call and was about 25-30 feet and caller said heard no dropouts.

Hi all, I don't use it myself as I'm very happy with Winamp but I know that some blind people use Foobar 2000 very successfully with Windows screen readers. It can be downloaded from www.foobar2000.org Also while it isn't strictly an audio player you may like to try TapinRadio available from www.tapinradio.com TapinRadio will let you listen to thousands of stations online very easily. There is both a free and pro version of TapinRadio. I have the pro version which offers some additional features. the developer of TapinRadio is vision impaired so he is aware of screen readers.

Can anyone please help? Are there any other accessible Windows-based media players available please other than Winamp, principally for listening to internet radio on a computer? In a search, I came across Mapler, which seemed to be extremely accessible, at http://www.mar-dy.com/MaPlEr/MaPlEr.php However it seems this may no longer be in development, I am not sure. What please would people recommend? Thank you very much. Brian Hartgen
RE: Audio players for listening to internet streams
You need a Flash add-on installed in your browser, be it Internet Explorer or Firefox, to listen to a stream transmitted from an online Flash Player. I use it in order to start streaming automatically as soon as the page loads. I can get away with it because I use low volume and provide a button to stop, others to pause or lower or increase volume.

RE: Audio players for listening to internet streams
I don't know of a player for online streams that can increase the speed. Audio editors such as Gold Wave can.

It is not very accessible; I am totally blind and use Jaws but I need to use the Jaws cursor to do anything with it.

RE: Audio players for listening to internet streams
It is absolutely tru and you can also open any online stream with Tapin Radio; also with Radio Sure and similar programs. Our stream is registered in many such databases, including Ootunes, which the one Victor Reader Stream uses.

Re: Audio players for listening to internet streams
this reminds me of a question I wanted to ask. How can I get firefox to save an mp3 file. It keeps wanting to play it as a video file and puts a player on the screen. so did crome. I am stuck in xp on this machine and had to use a later brouzer than IE8 but I want to be able to download and save a podcast to listen to later - Original Message - From: Humberto Rodriguez s...@hrfinancial.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2014 9:00 PM Subject: RE: Audio players for listening to internet streams You need a Flash add-on installed in your browser, be it Internet Explorer or Firefox, to listen to a stream transmitted from an online Flash Player.

Hi Thank you for all the responses. Regarding this one specifically, is MaPlEr still in development? I've not been able to get any responses when writing to them via their email address.
