free VPN
Hi all For a few years now I have been using Witopia as a VPN service to enable me to listen to bbc radio five live and five live extra for especially rugby union and grand prix action. These broadcasts were often not available outside the UK so you needed a VPN to listen to them. Unfortunately due to financial circumstances I cannot afford Witopia anymore but would dearly love to access the sport stations from the BBC. Was just wondering if anyone knows of a free VPN somewhere that I could use although I doubt whether such a thing exists. Regards Andre
Re: free VPN
Before I started using Witopia I did use Hotspot Shield but bare in mind that it places ads on your desktop and this can make access tools such as Screen readers behave unpredictably at times. Also note that you have to renew the connection after an hour. The last time I used Hotspot shield I couldn’t access the list of countries through the client though this may have changed. I’m talking about the free Hotspot Shield of course and not the paid one. I’m sorry to hear that you’re unable to use Witopia due to your circumstances, I’ve tried plenty of VPN providers in the past ad I would have to say that Witopia is about as good as I’ve found that you can get, 24/7 live tech support, extensive tutorials and guides on setting up your VPN, unlimited data transfer and so it goes, I have the Pro account and I pay around $60 a year I think it is, there’s a cheaper account for $35 a year though it has limitations and I’m not sure exactly what those are as I write this but you can find all the details at http://www.witopia.net http://www.witopia.net/ On 1 Nov 2014, at 8:25 pm, André van Deventer andred...@webafrica.org.za wrote: Hi all For a few years now I have been using Witopia as a VPN service to enable me to listen to bbc radio five live and five live extra for especially rugby union and grand prix action.

RE: free VPN
Dane I will not voluntarily change from witopia. Just like you I have found them excellent and really have no complaints about the service at all. But the circumstanc3es are unfortunately beyond my control. And the thing is that the only reason I would use it is to listen to the bbc!! -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: 01 November 2014 11:45 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: free VPN Before I started using Witopia I did use Hotspot Shield but bare in mind that it places ads on your desktop and this can make access tools such as Screen readers behave unpredictably at times.

Victor Reader Stream
Okay I’m swallowing my pride, I’ve ordered a victor Reader Stream - current model, I have one of the older versions which I really should put in the recycle bin without any further ado -. So, I know many of you have these devices, is there anything I should look for in particular? Are their any features or functions that are really useful or that you really like? How well does the Internet radio work? Of course the only thing that might annoy me is the fact that I probably won’t be able to get the Stream going behind my VPN? Well I’m going on assumption at the moment smile. ** Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane

Need accessible music tagger
What service or software do any of yall use for tagging mp3's and other media files? I just uninstalled Winamp because they don't have the contract with Gracenote anymore. That was the main reason I got Winamp in the first place!

Re: Need accessible music tagger
I've used MP3 Tag Studio for years, built by Magnus Brading. I forgot now how much the full version costs, but if you learn the interface and set it up correctly, it saves you hours of tagging. You'll want to do some experimenting on a folder of files that are not that important. I'd suggest using a temp folder that's easy to get to for this project type of work. http://www.magnusbrading.com/mp3ts/ Matthew
RE: apple TV to RCA (composite)
Hi, Back in 2013 I purchased this one for about $45 US ViewHD Universal HDMI to Composite / S-Video Converter However, that item has been discontinued and they keep trying to point me to something that does not have it's own power supply and I am not confident that it would work as well. This worked great on my 55 inch television with the red, white, and yellow inputs until I replaced it with a newer 60 inch Samsung television that has HDMI inputs. Actually someone else replaced the television and I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns but that is not the point, laughs! Perhaps yuou can locate this model somewhere locally or on a list somewhere. Hope that helps, Merv
RE: Need accessible music tagger
Hi. I'm also looking for a tagging program. Winamp was great, because you could have an empty tag, and it would fill it with what it thought was correct. It was sometimes way off, but for the most part it worked well. From my experience, programs like Mp3 Tag require some information in the tag to work. Too bad Sound Hound doesn't have a program for the PC. It has the basic features that would automate this work. Just curious. Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY

Follow-up: Free CD Ripping Software
Hi! Someone on list asked about free CD Ripping Software a little while ago, I answered with iTunes though of course I didn’t realise at the time that there’s probably an even better answer built right into Windows itself which I assume the questioner was using. The answer of course is Windows Media Player which - when I last tried it - was very accessible indeed. I didn’t follow the conversation at the time so perhaps someone else on list suggested Windows Media Player anyway. ** Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane
RE: Follow-up: Free CD Ripping Software
I'm not too sure about Windows Media Player anymore (Windows Media 11 was good; I used to use it) but when I got Windows 7 and tried to use the version of Windows Media there (think its 12) it wasn't quite so intuitive...at least not for me!

Works well with most networks, providing they don't use a web interface, and support the most commin radio streams.

Re: Victor Reader Stream
Ad for the Victor StreamNew Generation, I like the one I have. It works for most every kind of stream except flash. I was surprised to learn the player supports AAC streams, which the Plextalk and APH units don't and probably never will. If the stream doesn't play, it will say something like, stream failed to start, by the same token however, The Plextalk and Aph players get locked up when the stream won't play, so you have to fiddle with it or get disgusted with it enough that you remove the battery and Wait a few minutes so you can start the players again. It is not always feasible to carry a little screwdriver with you to take the battery out of the Bookport Desktop. ! -Original Message- From: Aidan Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2014 5:33 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Victor Reader Stream Works well with most networks, providing they don't use a web interface, and support the most commin radio streams.
