Replay Radio info

2015-07-09 Thread Petro T. Giannakopoulos
From my notes,

I was the beta tester over two years ago. I do not know what your computer 
skills are but if you know what a menu bar is and can tab around and look for 
buttons on the Replay Radio 9 interface and knows what a Schedule tab list view 
and My Recordings tab list view are and knows how to edit a edit field box to 
search for a station within the Replay Guide and then adjust the time and date 
fields for your station then you will be fine. Like any application it takes 
time to learn its user interface at the beginning. You can also tune to your 
stations that you have added via the guide or manually.
Which screen reader do you use.

If you have a station or show that is not in the replay guide you can have it 
added to the guide by Applian. You can email the person I know there that is in 
charge of the guide.
When you add a station from the replay guide you will get this scheduler window 
on your screen. You click on this +add link within the replay guide after 
finding your station and then the scheduler window for your station appears. 
This scheduler window can be used via the tab keyboard key with edit fields and 
combo boxes. The scheduler window has the tabs and they are Recordings, Tuning 
and Advanced tabs. To go into one of these tabs you need to have focus on the 
desired tab then press your enter key to make it the active tab then proceed 
with your tab key to see the settings / properties for that particular tab 
sheet.
Using insert+tab with JAWS or NVDA will say Recording checked or if you pressed 
your enter key on the tuning tab it will say tuning checked which means it’s 
the active tab.
You can record your stations and tune to them. Some of the stations you record 
will be captured silently in the background which is called Direct Download. It 
all depends on the station you are using. 
In the scheduler window for your station there is this No Conversion Settings 
button which you press your spacebar on and will allow you to change the 
origianl stream format to be from FLV to MP3. Some stations use FLV so doing 
this will automatically convert your original FLV stream recording to MP3 
format. You can also convert manually any recordings you have in your My 
Recording list view to MP3. Say you see this FLV recording for your station you 
recorded you would arrow down to this file and press applications key / context 
menu / shift+f10 and choose save as MP3. This will convert any of your non MP3 
recordings to MP3 manually.
Finally anything you add via Replay Guide will show up in the Schedule tab list 
view area. Any of your recordings will show up in your My Recordings list view. 
You can use up and down arrow keys and first letter navigation within this list 
view to find your content.
To edit a station that is already in your Schedule list view you would first 
find the station the Schedule list view and press your enter keyboard key on 
it. This will bring up your station’s scheduler window where you can edit the 
time and date fields and monday through Friday checkboxes and no conversion 
settings buttton with spacebar.

Keyboard Shortcuts

  a.. Ctrl+r: Start an audio recording 
  b.. Ctrl+x: Stop an audio recording 
  c.. Ctrl+n: Create a new, empty schedule item 
  d.. Ctrl+c: Copy currently selected schedule as a new schedule 
  e.. Ctrl+e: Open currently selected schedule item for editing 
  f.. Delete: Delete the currently selected item 
  g.. Ctrl+g: Start the currently selected schedule item and record for given 
duration 
  h.. Ctrl+t: Tune to the station on the currently selected schedule item. The 
Tune tab details must be filled in. 
  i.. Ctrl+s: Open Settings 
  j.. Escape: Stop the currently selected recording 
  k.. F2: Rename the currently selected recording 
  l.. Enter: Play the currently selected recording 
  m.. F5: Restart the the currently selected recording 
I have not tested all these shortcuts.

Hello,

I'm using the latest build of JAWS 16 (64 bit) under Windows 7 Home edition (64 
bit) with a TripleTalk USb synth.

I'm looking for an accessible MP3 tag editor. One that will not only create 
tags for MP3 files based on the filename but rename the files (Capatalize, 
replace underline with space and so forth.)

Can anyone recommend a free or paid MP3 tag editor that is accessible?

Oh yes, absolutely replay radio works great with Window-eyes. I 
downloaded it and installed it yesterday and it's pretty cool. the only 
tricky part is moving through the different tabs in the options screens, 
sometimes they don't gain the propper focus.  You have to find the tab 
you want and press enter for it to gain focus so you can see what 
options are available.  it's anawesome program and I had no problem 
figuring it out.

That is strange that the mac can't airplay the station, but the iPhone can. 
Airplay is how I've been listening to it, so this might be a bug.

If you go to my blindreplay blog you will find both text tips and audio 
tutorials on using Replay Radio. While at the blog use keyboard shortcut 
letter h to jump to the headings and use find command to find the previous 
link to read the previous blog posts I have. There is plenty of info at the 
blog on Replay Radio.

Hi folks
Thanks to Peter and Petro especially for turning me onto Replay Radio.
I had been using some of the Replay programs a few years ago, but hadn't
for some time.  It looks like Replay radio has replaced Replay AV, which
was a program I used a lot.  The program does exactly what I want it to
do, although, I can't seem to get the url finder to work. I installed it
but when I press the start monitoring for URL's button nothing seems to
happen. I saw a reference to something called Network Monitor in there,
but not sure how to go about installing that.  There's a choice that
says use the installed drivers recommended.  Is it ok to select that
option when installing it?  I just want to be careful, and do the right
thing.
Thanks guys!  If anyone has any other tips i'd love to have them. So far
this program is amazing!

Chris

Hi

Yes it does provide an rss feed of the last 10 stations that've changed 
format, but if you look at the website there are tons more station 
format changes up there.  I do have a pretty good podcatching client but 
I wanted a way I could get everything, not just the last 10 things 
posted.  Good thought though.  Replay radio works great for this.

Review: Ruark R2 MKII Tabletop Radio

2015-07-09 Thread Dane Trethowan
Its been a good while since I've tried a tabletop radio with DAB+ 
capabilities, the last I tried was back in 2010 and that was the Yamaha 
TX-130, a solid performer with plenty of sound to satisfy the needs of 
anyone in a small room, the problem was - in my view - that the Yamaha 
didn't sound very natural as good as it was.


fast forward 5 years and we find tabletop radios a plenty if you know 
where to look and all the specialist company's are out there selling 
their tabletop radio wears, Tivoli Audio, Sangean and even the cheap 
Bush alternative has a model so which to choose?


I wrote about the Ruark R1 several weeks ago, I was impressed with the 
sound of this radio given its a portable - or perhaps some may call it a 
bedside radio - so then to look at the Ruark R2 which is indeed a fully 
fledged tabletop device.


I doubt anyone who purchases the R2 will be disappointed, the Ruark has 
the trademark Ruark type sound, perfectly natural, pleasant to the ears 
and damy Loud! if you dare to turn the volume up that far, loud the 
radio can be but distortion free it is too, an impressive feat given the 
radio uses 2 3 inch full range drivers but it just goes to show what can 
be achieved if the right drivers are picked along with some good Digital 
Sound Processing and some dampening along with a good wooden cabinet.


There are several models of the Ruark R2 available, the Mkii and the 
MKiii, the Mkiii has Internet radio and Bluetooth streaming along with 
Digital and FM radio, the MKii - subject of this review - has only the 
radio and an iPod dock.


The control layout is very similar to that of the Ruark R1 with the 
control buttons grouped in a circular pattern around the volume spring 
dial, press the dial to get to further adjustments such as loudness, 3D 
effect, Bass, Treble, Equaliser and so on.


The R2 has 10 presets - 5 for FM and 5 for Digital Radio - which have 
their own dedicated preset buttons, the presets are set in now what 
appears to be a standard way by holding the preset button down for 5 
seconds.


A remote control unit is provided for remote control of the radio and 
your iPod if connected.


Another point of difference between this and other Tabletop radio sets 
is the connections the radio boasts, you'll find not only an Aux-In and 
Headphones Out connection on the front but a Line-out and Line-in set of 
connections on the back, whilst the Aux-In and Headphone out are 3.5MM 
stereo minijack sockets the line-in and out on the rear are stereo RCA 
type sockets.


Display is clear and easily read, brightness for the display can be 
adjusted independently for on and standby modes, a nice touch for a 
radio of this kind, you may prefer to have the brightness automatically 
adjust when in standby for reading of the clock for example.
