I use my pen friend primarily to lable storage boxes, to summerize the
controls on in accessible devices, to keep track of when batteries have been
replaced on equipment and, of course, to label CDs.  

I think that  the most  unique application I have is to get autographs at
live concerts.  While other people in line get written autographs on the
recordings that they buy I have the artist create a lable for me in their
own voice.

But I do have a question.  When backing up do you just copy the last file or
do you need to copy all 4 of  them?

Thanks

I would copy all the directories since it has nodate/time stamp -- all

Re: sony srs x5 bluetooth question

[Dane Trethowan]

About as accessible as you can get.

The Controls for the Soundlink Mini and Soundlink III are laid out the same.

There are 6 buttons along the top and they are from left to right power, mute, 
volume down and up, Bluetooth and Auxiliary.

When the Soundlink III or Mini is powered on the unit beeps when it has 
detected a Bluetooth device that it can pair to.

I don't know if excluding tappin items will help, with your original

Re: Another question about the Olympus DM5

[Alex]

Hi all,

As we are talking about this recorder, I have a dmdm-670 model.
Recently it won't connect to my computer, it will just say please wait 
remote and nothing else happens, my computer  doesn't even make the 
device connection sound.
As i thought it was an issue with the software I tried reformatting it, 
now I lost the voice.
Does anyone know how to fix this? First to get my voice guide backc and 
second to connect it to my Windows 7 laptop?


Cheers.

Alex.

Its truly the most accessible ever.

Hi.  Well, where do I begin.  I think I'm very spoiled because I have a
20gig Creative Zen touch mp3 player.  This player is magnificent when it
comes to sound quality but I'm not able to use it because I can't find the
Win7 drivers for the player so I can load it with music.  I think it is
designed for XP users only.  Giving I can't use it I was hoping the DM5
would have good sound reproduction and although it is reasonable at a push,
it doesn't compare to the Zen Touch.  My disappointment was compounded when
I compared it with my mobile phone player which is superior to the DM5 in
sound quality.  The DM5 spoken menus are inadequate.  It tells you the
track
name but you get very little info of how many tracks you have on the
player.
For example if I decide to play music by selecting artist then it doesn't
give me the number of tracks in any particular artists folder and also when
I arrow up and down the list, the reaction time is very slow and that is
with speeding up the voice guidance.  I'm inclined to just use my mobile
for
music listening unless I can get a better player that will give me very
high
quality sound reproduction.  Oh, nearly forgot, I have to increase the
volume to nearly full to get a good level of volume, it seems the DM5
output
signal is a low one.  It would seem to me that the player is truly meant as
a portable recorder and the music player function is an afterthought. This
player has never really been used, I'm just getting to grips with it.  I
bought it a couple of years ago and it has lay in an equipment box ever
since and not been touched but maybe I'll consider selling it.  Walter.

Hi thanks for that.  Actually, I don't think the mp3 player

to much.  I have a Nokia 2210 navigator and the player in

Re: Bowers & Wilkins T7 review: The Bluetooth speaker worthwaiting for - Pocket-lint

[Dane Trethowan]

I pretty much addressed this in a question asked by another member a little 
earlier, The Bose and the B&W are very good at displaying - in a sense of 
sounds - the full spectrum.

Of all the speakers currently under discussion, which one provides really 
good highs?  My old ears ain't what they used to be, and so many of the 
devices which I hear tend to go boom, boom, all bass and intermediate 
frequencies.  Please point me to something where I am more likely to hear 
the highs.

Thanks.

The t7 sells for $349 in the U.S. on Amazon. Of possible interest is
the fact that the special aptx technology that it uses to improve the
bluetooth sound is not available on Apple devices and is apparently not
likely to be, since Qualcom owns the company that invented it.

Re: Penfriend Audio Labeler

[Donald L. Roberts]

From: "Vicky Vaughan" To: "PC Audio:

I use my Pen Friend for marking my CDS. No braille is shallow enough to play
in any computer or CD player that I have found.

Vicki, Are you familiar with the CD stomper?  It is a device which comes 
with square CD labels which are perforated in such a way that you can put 
them in a Perkins or a slate to write the braille and then remove the 
corners via the perforations leaving a circular label which is exactly the 
size of a CD.  You then place the CD on a circular platform after first 
placing the adhesive side of the label face up.  You then just press the top 
side of the CD against the adhesive, and you have a thin but very legible 
braille label on your CD.  I used this thing for years and have never had 
the adhesive cause an issue.  I do agree with your note that adhesives at 
least some of them will cause problems.
If you want more info about the CD stomper, just let me know.

Re: portable speaker to replace my soundlink 3?

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi again!

You You may ask how do small speaker systems such as these manage to sound so 
good and there’s no denying that they do? Well the answer lies in the Digital 
Signal Processing used.

The Bose and B&w and pretty much got this down to a fine art and the Logitech 
UE Boom which has been mentioned is pretty good though there’s a little 
difference in how the sound is heard, the highs get a bit lost in the mid range 
and bass but then again, the Logitech UE Boom costs considerably less than its 
competition in the form of the Bose Soundlink III.

Some DSP effects are sensitive to the surrounding environments, take that of 
the Bose Soundlink Mini which adjusts itself according to how loud the speaker 
sounds and you can hear the DSP adjusting.

Re: portable speaker to replace my soundlink 3?

[Dane Trethowan]

That’s a very good question.

I’ve found that with the more expensive systems say from B&W and Bose all music 
is very well represented whether it be classical, rock, wonderful smooth jazz, 
thumping bass or whatever.

I think I know where you’re coming from and the well designed systems present 
the music in a very well defined way for the whole spectrum whether that be 
crisp highs, vocal mid ranges or the bass bottoms.

RE: portable speaker to replace my soundlink 3?

[André van Deventer]

Hi all

Perhaps a silly question out of my own ignorance.

If you choose these kind of portable systems, would the  kind of music that
you listen to make a difference?

Especially for acoustic music including  classical music, the volume of the
sound is not that important but the clarity is?

Andre

Yep replying to this again, I have both Soundlink Mini and III.

I use them in different situations, if I’m reclining in my favourite chair
there’s nothing like the sound of the Soundlink Mini sitting on the chair’s
arm.

If I’m outside then I take the Soundlinke III out with me and put it on the
table whilst I work.

I still think the Bose Soundlink Air sounds better but then again its
slightly bigger than the Soundlink III, it really is a pity Bose
discontinued those.

Re: portable speaker to replace my soundlink 3?

The Z@ is backwards compatible from N protocol so you’ll have no problems with 
that part of it, I did a review of the Z2 for what its worth, an audio review 
that is.

That system for $199 your money is truly amazing given that it only has 2 3.5 
inch drivers to power it.

I think the reason for the price drop is that the Z2 is made in Chine but don’t 
let that put you off, the quality is superb both in build and sound.

Re: portable speaker to replace my soundlink 3?

[Mary Otten]

I like the sound link 3 ok. I heard it with the less expensive Bose
mini sound link, which was impressive for its size. But in the end, I
spent the extra $ because of the fuller sound of the 3. It can be a bit
too warm at times, and I think it definitely helps to have the speaker
elevated to close to the level of your ears when seated, rather than
having it sit, say, on a coffee table. But that's not surprising. I'd
love to hear the Z2, which now sells for just $199, and could double as
a dock. But I read that it does not use the 802-11N protocol, and I
would not like to drop back to the older G standard for the sake of
having the z2.

[Dane Trethowan]

Just curious, what do you think of the Bose Soundlink III? I Wouldn’t be 
without mine however I have found that placement can sometimes be critical for 
good sound so its fun to experiment a little to see what a difference a few 
inches over here or over there with speaker placement can make.

Re: Bowers & Wilkins T7 review: The Bluetooth speaker worth waiting for - Pocket-lint

[Dane Trethowan]

Absolutely right, if someone states that they don’t like something then there’s 
hardly any point reading a review they post or even talking to them about a 
product and yet its so easy to not like something.

I experienced this myself with logitech Headsets, I had one in 2007 and the 
headset can only be described as utterly dreadful so I was very much against 
Logitech headsets until people started talking about the H800 Wireless offering.

It took some convincing but I did buy one and - apart from the awful build 
quality - I was impressed with it and still use it.

Yes, the H800 does have shortcomings as I said built quality isn’t good and it 
would have been nice if Logitech had used a better Bluetooth system but its 
still pretty good value for the buck.

Re: Bowers & Wilkins T7 review: The Bluetooth speaker worth waiting for - Pocket-lint

[Dane Trethowan]

I guess its a matter od doing you homework when it comes to reviews and you’re 
right about reviews, you read a few and you soon get the idea of who knows and 
who doesn’t know what they’re talking about or what they’re doing.

When it comes to Short Wave radio sets for example, there’s some really good 
review stuff out there and not just from those who are paid to review either.

Then again - having said all that - some of the offerings on the subject of 
Short Wave radio sets come from those who ought to give the hobby up as a bad 
job.

There’s a classic review that runs along this vein on the Sangean ATS909x and 
I’ll try to find the link, I shouldn’t laugh I suppose but the review is 
certainly side splitting stuff.

The chap who does the review tells us he’s been listening to Short Wave for 
over 50 years and he knows what he’s talking about, he then proceeds to turn on 
the Asangean ATS909X and examine the Short Wave bands.

As people who listen to these bands regularly today will know, they’re not as 
populated as they once were so the chap - after not receiving anything much on 
the Sangean - tells us that reception on this radio is dreadful and again he 
knows, he’s been listening to Short Wave for 50 years!

Well now make what you will of all that but my only comment is that Short wave 
today is certainly not the same as it was 50 years ago or even 20 years ago and 
you’re certainly not going to receive anything much at 2 O’Clock or thereabouts 
in an afternoon, that’s when this chap did his review and - as I said - I’ll 
try and find the link to that again and post it.

RE: Bowers & Wilkins T7 review: The Bluetooth speaker worth waiting for - Pocket-lint

[Walter Ramage]

Hi.  I read that revue and it could hardly be considered unbiased.  The guy
states from the outset he doesn't like B & W stuff so he is hardly likely to
give a subjective revue.
 It's kinda like somebody saying they hate baked beans and then him being
asked to taste and give an honest revue and an impartial comment on which
brand of baked beans is best.  At the end of the day if you are going to
spend a lot of money then you should always audition the equipment first and
do so on more than one occasion.  The best option is to ask for a home
audition because even in the audition room of the dealer, the acoustics will
not be the same as your living room or bedroom.  If the dealer is worth his
salt he should have a demo model or should be able to get one from the
manufacturer to let you listen to.  I'm currently auditioning the B & W PV1
subwoofer.  I've had it for nearly 2 weeks now and have given it a good run
for it's money and like what i've heard and will buy one.  If I had listened
to it in the store it most likely would have been through different
equipment and as I've said, different acoustics.  For the most part, store
auditioning is great for narrowing your options until you find something
that might be to your taste then you could ask for a home audition.  In the
end, it doesn't matter how many revues you read, your ears are the best
judge of what sounds good or bad to you.  Walter.

Re: Bowers & Wilkins T7 review: The Bluetooth speaker worth waiting for - Pocket-lint

[Dane Trethowan]

Yes that’s true however it certainly wouldn’t sound worse than anything else we 
have, as the reviewer said it still sounds pretty good.

So Amazon are selling the units? That’s a pretty good price, bet your life 
they’re more expensive than that over here though I did get a pleasant surprise 
with the B&W Z2, got one for $300 and that’s incredible value for money.

I think the other outstanding feature of this unit - apart from sound - would 
be the battery life of 18 hours, don’t know any Bluetooth portable except the 
Soundlinke III that would come anywhere near that, you get 14 hours from the 
Soundlink and that’s impressive enough, about 6 hours from the Logitech UE Boom 
but then again with the Boom I’m not at all surprised given the small battery 
that thing has, again what the engineers at Logitech were taking at the time of 
the UE Boom’s design one can only guess.

The t7 sells for $349 in the U.S. on Amazon. Of possible interest is
the fact that the special aptx technology that it uses to improve the
bluetooth sound is not available on Apple devices and is apparently not

In the review it said £300 but that’s English currency so you’ll have to do a 
google search and see how much you can get it for in the States, the T7 doesn’t 
seem to be available in Australia yet or I haven’t been able to find an 
Australian Stockest so I’ll keep looking.

Re: Bowers & Wilkins T7 review: The Bluetooth speaker worth waiting for - Pocket-lint

[Dane Trethowan]

Hmm interesting but I really have to wonder what can be gained by comparing the 
B&W with the T7? You only have to read the review I linked to and you’ll see 
that we’re talking about 2 different systems, portable is a word that can be 
applied to both sure but the B&W is bigger for one thing.

I have the Soundlink III as you do and I have 2 B&W speaker systems, the A5 and 
the Z2 and I can only wish that the Soundlink III exhibited the quality sound 
of the B&W Z2 even but then again, B&W products cost a little more.

As far as connection problems go? Well Bluetooth can be a little problematic at 
times and it very much depends on your environment and what other sources of 
radio interference may be around, Bluetooth was never intended to have a wide 
range.

I’ve never had much trouble in connecting any of the B&W AirPlay devices and 
there are around a Dozen Wi-Fi networks around my location now according to the 
last scan I did but then again I did make a commitment to invest in the best 
Wi-Fi routing device I could found.

The point I’m trying to make I guess is that there are so many variables and 
circumstances when it comes to connection issues.

The B&W T7? I've not heard of that one so time to do my favourite thing

I can come up with.

years a fan of their higher end turntables and phono cartridges; I'm
showing my age, I guess. Will have to see if they have something out
there. Otherwise, the Logitech is probably a good way to go. I once had
a Logitech dock with the 30-pin connector that, for its sound quality,
was qiute a good deal.

Re: Wireless Speakers Comparable to JBL ON Tour

[Dane Trethowan]

Its actually slightly smaller too than the Jawbone Jambox but far better sound 
and even more rugged.

I think both Jawbone Jambox and Soundlink MINI are around the same price, think 
the Jawbone Jambox may have been slightly more expensive.

Re: portable speaker to replace my soundlink 3?

[Dane Trethowan]

Ah yes, there are some wonderful wireless speaker systems out there both in 1 
unit and actual separate speakers and the good old names we know and love have 
cemented themselves into the landscape.

I spoke of the Bose Soundlink III and Soundlink Mini, they’re smaller than what 
you’re talking about.

I have a B&W  A5 Wireless speaker system which is about the size of a kitchen 
toaster but sounds as big as a pair of skippers connected to my Surround-Sound, 
how something that size can fill a room is still beyond me.

I saw a review of a Keff Wireless speaker system and I’m going to make 
arrangements to hear one in action next year having found a place using Google 
which sells them.

These The Keff speaker system sounds similar to what you’re referring to, its 2 
separate speakers but the whole idea is for people who don’t want their 
speakers connected to an amp or receiver, they look like your standard large 
type bookshelf speakers and you stream to them.

You’re also right when you talk of paying for good quality sound, even the B&W 
A5 was a considerable outlay.

Re: Wireless Speakers Comparable to JBL ON Tour

[Dane Trethowan]

Forget the Jawbone Jambox, you can do better than that and the pick of the 
bunch seems to be the Bose Soundlink Mini, I should know as I had a Jawbone 
Jambox, the greatest pleasure I had was throwing int into the bin.

Re: portable speaker to replace my soundlink 3?

[pete gurney]

hi mary,

i've got two new bluetooth speakers a week ago both of which are fine one
is outstanding but costs more and the other has three diferent versions
each one stepping up in size.
both of these have built in speech that tells you when it's pairing and
when connected and the cheaper one even speaks what battery power is left.
there both made by creative, the dearer one:
sound blaster roar
has outstanding sound with 30 watts output from a unit that is roughly the
size of an A5 sheet of paper and 2 inches tall.
it has bass boost, the ability to expand the sound field, has a micro sd
card slot  it's own built in music player and works as a speaker phone.
if you have an sd card inserted you can either play music that is on it,
press a record button to record memos or lectures and such like or if you
are on a phone call via bluetooth to the speaker a press of the record
button will even record your conversation which you can play back using the
buttons on the speaker.
it also has up to date codex built in so it can play uncompressed audio via
bluetooth or via the 3.5 aux in socket, it even has an alarm switch that
when activated a press of a button makes it work as a siron.
it works from both the mains or from the built in battery.
 in UK pounds it cost £129 but i don't think it's much more in dollars
in the states.
the second is the:
creative muvo mini.
which i think is also known as the muvo 10.
this is about 7 inches long and 2 inches tall and deep.
it has a rubber coating and is suitable for use in bathrooms, on the beech
and anywhere outdoors even in light rain or where it will get splashed.
it's not as powerful as the roar but still has reasonable sound and works
as a speaker phone.
this one cost £50 UK pounds.creative do another couple of models of the
muvo with the rubber coating with each one being bigger and more powerful
and i think they are called the muvo 20 and muvo 30.

pete.
   
 



I have, or should I say had, a Bose Soundlink 3 speaker for use with
portable bluetooth capable devices. For reasons not particularly
relevant to this list, I won't have access to that speaker during the
school year, since it will be going to school with my spouse. So I'm
wondering about other alternatives, perhaps even some that might not be
as pricy as the Bose. I've just read about the B&W t7, which actually
costs more than the Bose. Then there are Braven models which look
interesting, albeit not much less costly than the Bose. 

Since all my devices are ios, I could also use airplay, not necessary
to have bluetooth. What are people using and really liking in this
category?

Wireless Speakers Comparable to JBL ON Tour

[Samuel Wilkins]

Hello everyone, 

Does anyone know of any good wireless speakers that have a sound comparable
to or better than my JBL on tour speakers?  I have been considering the
Jawbone Jambox speakers, but I was wondering if theyhave the same quality as
the JBLs?
