tapin radio update
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling antivirus software as suggested and I am still having the same problem receiving the error message that “Tapin Radio has failed to load presets.” It then gives me the option of trying to download from the web site. Upon trying to download from the web site I then receive an error message that Windows has stopped working and is checking for a solution. Of course there is still no response from Tapin Radio people. Is anyone familiar with their other products as I wonder if it is worth trying them out or how they work with screen reading software.

Re: spotify for the computer question
Hi! I haven’t been reading this thread as we’ve discussed it before, I’m able to Access Spotify so therefore the topic doesn’t interest me all that much - I’m a Premium Spotify subscriber and I recommend it if you are able to access the system obviously - but the subject of Spotify’s Accessibility or lack thereof with a PC and Mac did get me thinking about alternative paths one could take, after all Spotify is certainly not the only subscriber based music service in a crowded market place. As far as I’m ware the closest one could get to Spotify is Google Play, I used this quite some time ago and I was able to access it through all platforms though I have to admit that with the PC I used Google Chrome and NVDA so don’t know how good it would be with Internet Explorer but it seemed to me that all buttons and so on were standard. Anyway the point here is that Spotify and Google Play both allow you to stream and download the content - the latter in the case of a $10 per month subscription -. Failing all that one could try Pandora, there’s a very accessible client for Pandora and the Windows PC called Hope and another very nice Pandora client for the Mac called Muse. Of course Pandora will only let you stream your music, it won’t let you download the content to your computer.

Radiosure
In light of the difficulty I’ve been having with Tapin Radio I installed Radio Sure. While it works and has a very comprehensive listing it seems a bit unmanageable with JAWS. I can’t seem to get it to list by genre and there seems to be lots of dead listings. Any suggestions or tutorials to make it work better? Chuck
Re: Radiosure
Again, sorry for the late entry into this discussion. There seems to be a lot of discussion on this Internet Radio utility smile though I've never tried it myself as I much prefer to listen to any sort of radio - Internet or otherwise - in freedom and not tied to a computer but regardless of all that, has anyone used iTunes Internet Radio? I've used it a few times and found it performs very well and has a good database of Radio Stations to boot, I'm sure iTunes is using one of the well established Internet Radio databases such as vTuner etc. On 15/11/2014 3:39 AM, Charles Krugman wrote: In light of the difficulty I’ve been having with Tapin Radio I installed Radio Sure.

Re: Radiosure
I don't like ITunes radio so much. They don't really add all the stations I want and I'm not aware of constant stream fixes and updates. At least with Tapp in radio they do that. And ITunes don't have a skedular and you cannot record the radio wich sucks. ITunes is just good enough for manageing your Eye devices.

Re: tapin radio update
I suggest you uninstall it again, but then after uninstallation you go to the registry and look if you can find any key for tap in radio and delete the key with any subkeys it might contain. Then restart the pc and reinstall and restart again. Maybe something else is playing up here. Also, when you uninstalled your anti virus, did you do a complete uninstall? You should uninstall in safe moad for most packages to be able to remove all components. To only uninstall from control panel often leaves components behind.

Windows Machine Like A Mac Mini
Okay, here’s something that is similar to the Mac Mini machine we’ve been discussing on list, a review is linked to below. I’m very tempted to set one of these things up myself but be warned, this computer is not for those who want something up and running in 2 seconds as you have to build it up, the review explains more. http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/intel/nuc_kit_d54250wyk/540197/ http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/intel/nuc_kit_d54250wyk/540197/
turnning what you hear/stereo mix on and off in Windows 8.1
Hello fellow pc-audio listers: For any of you who use it, where can I find the what you hear and/or stereo mix feature in Windows 8.1? And once I find it, how do I turn it on and off? I'm not all that advanced with my podcasts, but I've always been interested in knowing how that feature works and how to use it should I ever decide to one day. Thanks. Mike Rochester, NY.

Re: Radiosure
Yes, there’s a lot to not like about iTunes I agree but I would have to say that radio - from my perspective at any rate - wasn’t one of them, I’ve had very little trouble with any of the streams I’ve listened to but then again I’m in australia and I don’t listen to all that much Internet Radio, mainly KNX, WBBM, 1010 WINS and so on. As far as updated stream information goes? As far as I’m aware, iTunes doesn’t actually have control over its streams, that is to say the streaming information is part of an Internet Radio Database - so many other pieces of software and hardware use these now - so its up to the database to update itself. I’ve found times when these databases have overlooked something or other, a Tweet on my Twitter feed seems to fix the problem in 24 hours believe it nor not smile As for the radio plays for Windows we’ve been discussing? I thin I tried Tapin Radio and never had much success with it thus quickly lost interest given my being used to listening to Internet Radio in the back yard say rather than sitting at the computer.

Mary I'm just looking at prices now and it really depends on what you want to do. The Machine for example at a shop I'm browsing as I write is priced at $75 and then you have your memory and whatever hard drive you want on top of that, at the most that's around $200 so really that's a bargain, all that has to be done then is to install your choice of operating system, the audio is there via HDMI or headphone/microphone socket on the back, 3 USB ports - 1 3.0 and 2 2.0 - for other devices. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi already built-in along with an Eternet socket. Ah yes, of course you'll have to get a keyboard but still very cheap and economical for a dekstop machine.
Re: Windows Machine Like A Mac Mini
Well, the prices quoted in the review were a whole bunch more than $75. If you have the help or are competent to install the memory and storage, then $75 plus that stuff isn't a bad deal. Mary
Re: Windows Machine Like A Mac Mini
Yes you’re right about the review, there are different models of Nuc around it seems, the review was focusing on a Quad Core i5, there are Duo Core models and they are cheaper, certainly they would provide the functionality most people would need. The memory you could probably install yourself but some people may prefer to have it installed for them obviously.
