Desktop Intercom

[Dane Trethowan]

Stumbled across the App whilst going through my Twitter feed.

The concept is simple enough, you have multiple computers for your home 
or work environment so why not communicate by voice/video between all 
your computers or monitor each for sound, that's exactly what Desktop 
Intercom does.


If you're running Windows then you'll need PC Intercom.

Here's a description from the Mac Aps Store.


Description
Desktop Intercom is a simple and intuitive application that allows you 
to broadcast your voice to another Mac or Windows PC on your local 
network. You can also listen to the remote location and there is never 
any end-user intervention required at the remote computer. If you want 
to keep your privacy, just disable the listen feature at your 
computer. You can easily access the application via the speaker icon 
in the menu bar or by a simple hot key.
I've had no problem in using the Mac version of the software but having 
a little difficulty with the Windows version at the moment, think the 
Firewall doesn't like it too much .


Anyway a most worthy piece of software and I'm very surprised I've not 
seen anything like this before, perhaps others have?

Re: Winamp?

[Chris Skarstad]

Only place I know to get it these days is
http://www.ninite.com
The web page has a bunch of different check boxes for different 
programs, Winamp is oneof them.  So check the box for that, and then 
press the space bar on the "get installer" button. the next page that 
comes up lets you download the installer.  The great thing about Ninite 
is that you can check multiple boxes at once, so you can build an 
installer with all your favorite programs.  If you're getting a new pc 
you can just run it, and it'll install all the programs, one after 
another.  Also, you can keep an installer around, and it'll install the 
latest version of the program every time a new one comes out.  These 
installers run in the background so there's no next buttons to press, or 
license agreements to answer yes to.  Whoever thought of Ninite deserves 
a metal.

Re: A Near Perfect Tabletop Radio?

[Dane Trethowan]

Thanks for the tip.

I downloaded the App and yep, works absolutely fine with IOS devices, I'm sure 
there's an Android version around so will have a look at that a little later.

There are some nice features about Undok including the "Share" button which 
allows you to share the current station or track you're listening to with 
others on Facebook, Twitter, Message and eMail.

Like the way one can perform a software update to the radio.

Would like to see more settings in the settings option, the information about 
Internet connection is shown there so one would think one could change that? 
Net yet at any rate.

Nice to see the sleep timer accessible but as yet no alarm.

I only know of a few radios where the alarm clock is accessible, the Logitech 
Squeezebox and Ultimate ears radio along with the Denon Cocoon Home.

Re: A Near Perfect Tabletop Radio?

[Dane Trethowan]

Now that’s interesting.

The App you mentioned works on the Ruark radios too so Sangean, Ruark and 
Roberts must use the same Silicon Frontier chip set.

I’m not at all surprised about the Roberts, Roberts radios are made by Sangean.

Yes, having just looked again, I, too, can’t get the Sangean app on my iPhone 
to see my radio.  However, having recently bought a Roberts radio, I now use an 
app called undok which sees both the Roberts and Sangean and has the additional 
advantage over the Sangean app (when it did used to work!) that it allows 
searching for internet radio stations.  In theory, this was available on the 
iSangean app but never actually worked for me as it wouldn’t allow entry into 
the edit field either with or without VoiceOver running!

The bad parts first, this radio has a touch screen however one can

On my system I can't get the Sangean App to work on my iPhone for

Digital DAB/DAB+ for models in Australia and Europe.
Pandora connectivity
IOS dock
DLNA compatibility for playing music from a Mac, Windows machine or NAS 
storage

Recording of a source to SD card or USB device.

The radio even sounds quite nice thanks to its wooden cabinet and the

Re: A Near Perfect Tabletop Radio?

Oh and another thing about recording before I forget.

Starting and stopping recording couldn't be easier, just select the 
source you wish to record from and press the record button, recording 
starts and can be stopped by pressing the Record button again, tracks 
can be played using the Music player option of the device or on a 
computer, the choice is yours.

Re: iPad Audio

[Dane Trethowan]

I wouldn't imagine the audio quality from the Headphone socket of 
iPhone, iPod or iPad would be what one would call the best quality from 
a headphones socket, certainly the quality from the headphone socket on 
my iPad Mini 4 and iPhone 6 leave a lot to be desired, thank Goodness 
for my Arcam and Oppo DAC'S when I'm listening to music.


Having said all that of course, the iPhone and iPad are certainly not 
designed as dedicated music players so perhaps the headphone socket 
strikes a good compremise, I'd nod my head in absolute agreement with 
the words I've just written if it weren't for the fact that - compared 
to all IOS devices I've tried - the haudio output from the Samsung 
Galaxy Note4 and S6 phones is far better than anything I've heard from 
Apple except for some of Apples earlier iPod Nano offerings which were 
bloody good for what they were.

The last full-sized iPad I owned was the iPad 3 and I had this device around 3 
years ago I think it was.

Anyway I didn't keep the device for long as I didn't much care for the audio of 
the speaker.

I now have an iPad Mini and the audio is truly divine if I dare say so myself 
and I doubt whether there are too many tablets around the size of the iPad that 
would exhibit such good quality audio from stereo internal speakers.

So I'm wondering about the audio of the full-sized iPad 4, is it as good as or 
better than that found on the iPad Mini 4 or is it about the same as found on 
the iPad 3.

I have another question regarding this.

Does the ipad and the iphone use the same DAC?  Therefore would the sound 
quality from the headphone socket of the ipad be the same as that of the iphone?

Re: A Near Perfect Tabletop Radio?

[Dane Trethowan]

Cost in U.S. dollars is around $450

Size? Well its about the size of all the other Snagean Tabletops I've 
seen, the display in the middle of the two speakers and the slot loading 
CD tray above all that on the front.


The aerial is removable meaning that the radio can be attached to an 
outdoor FM/DAB aerial if you have such an installation, the radio has a 
F connector which the telescopic aerial attaches to but to get to this 
you have to remove a small screwed on cover which covers the socket.


No idea why Sangean did things this way but there we are.

As for the App not owrking on my IOS devices? Well I'm not sure what's 
going on there, just won't find any of the radio sets I have which are 
compatible with it and I've not had this issue before though there was a 
good 18 or so months when I was without an IOS device and I do know that 
during that time the iSangean remote App was updated a few times so 
perhaps that's something to do with it.


As I say, the Android iSangean App works perfectly as it should.

regarding recording? You can record from most of the sources this radio 
handles, only one you can't record from is your iPod in the dock. You 
can record Internet Radio, FM, DAB and from CD, default bit rate for MP3 
recordings is 128K.


This radio does not as far as I know support time shifting for DAB+ radio.

I believe I've found to be a near perfect tabletop radio, the DDr-63
which comes from our good friends at Sangean

The bad parts first, this radio has a touch screen however one can
either use the Remote control or the Sangean Remote App if one has an
iPhone or Android devce.

On my system I can't get the Sangean App to work on my iPhone for
whatever reason but it works fine on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Android phone.

The DDR63 is literally packed with features and here are a few.

USB port for playback of music from a memory stick.
CD Player equipped with MP3 playback function.
Digital DAB/DAB+ for models in Australia and Europe.
Pandora connectivity
IOS dock
DLNA compatibility for playing music from a Mac, Windows machine or NAS
storage
Recording of a source to SD card or USB device.

The radio even sounds quite nice thanks to its wooden cabinet and the
sound can be further tweaked by the use of the EQ settings or you can
customise the bass and treble controls to your liking.

Unfortunately there's no way for a person without vision to set either
of the two alarms but I do know that the display is very clear - I have
this on good authority from those who can see it - so if you're part of
a couple then this unit would certainly be a great bedside companion for
the two of you.
Other nice stuff include both an analog and digital line-out, aux-in and
headphone socket.
