Hi Ray, The way I do it is: 1. Open the file you wish to append. 2. Select all and copy it to the clipboard with ctrl+a followed by ctrl+c. 3. Open the file you wish to append to. If you get a warning about the first file, select no you don't want to save it. 4. Move to the end of the file by pressing the end key. 5. Press ctrl+v to paste from the clipboard. 6. You should be positioned where the append takes place, so you can use your arrow keys to move back a little then press the spacebar to play across the join. 7. If you need to cut a bit to make it a clean append, you can use the b and n keys to mark the section you want to delete.

How do I get rid of the files with the SFK extension that are saved with the conclusion of every project? They are saved along with my final mixes. I know there was a way to do this but since it literally has been a few years since I had to reinstall Sound Forge I have forgotten how. I've looked through the menus and it isn't obvious. It is one of those (set it and forget it) functions. I set it and forgot it a few years ago. Can someone on the list fill me in on how to do this??

RE: Headphone Splitter
Hi Peter, Perhaps I don't quite understand what you are trying to achieve, but I can listen with headphones to both my screen reader and the sound I wish to output from my mixer by simply sending the screen reader to one of the inputs on the mixer and leaving that channel on cue. That is how I do my internet show each week and I don't need a splitter to stop the screen reader from being heard by listeners. I can hear both the music and the screen reader, but listeners can only hear the music. I can adjust the screen reader volume relative to the output volume as required.

RE: winamp playlist help
Hi Hank, There are two things you can do. 1. Configure Winamp to place Enqueue & Play in Winamp in the file menu of Windows Explorer to add a selected file after the currently playing file. To do this, open the Winamp preferences and in the Windows Shell File Association Options, select Add 'Enqueue & Play' to Winamp's associated file types, and Insert enqueued files after the currently playing file. There is a situation where Windows prevents this item appearing in Windows Explorer in favour of Windows Media Player. There is a way around this which I can describe later if necessary. 2. Probably the easiest way of achieving what you want is to let Winamp add the song to the end of the list then do the following. Move to the song you want your newly added song to appear after then press j and search for the newly added song. Once you have found it, tab to an option for Move after current.

This is important to me when I use Winamp to stream and need to use my right hand to control my mixer. 2. The ability to move forward and back in five second increments with one finger. 3. An option to stop playing after the current track in a playlist. 4. The ability to locate a track in Windows explorer and add it to the Winamp playlist, either after the currently playing track or at the end of the playlist. 5. The ability to search for a track in a playlist and move it to after the currently playing track. 6. The ability to delete tracks from a playlist. 7. The ability to save a modified playlist. 8. The ability to cross fade tracks with a configurable plugin. 9. The ability to equalise the volume of all playing tracks with a configurable plugin. 10. The ability to have title information show up in Edcast when streaming. 11. The ability to find the length of a track in time as well as being able to find out the elapsed time and time remaining of a currently playing track. 12. The ability to select a sound card other than the default for the output. 13. The ability to edit and modify ID3 tags in MP3 files. 14. The ability to review tracks in a playlist by arrowing up and down. 15. The ability to search a playlist for tracks containing key words. 16. The ability to press enter on a track in Windows Explorer and have it start playing without the focus moving from Windows Explorer. 17. The ability to set a placemarker in a file when using JAWS. 18. The ability to set bookmarks for streams. 19. The ability to play a wide range of audio formats. 20. The ability to jump to a specific time in a track. 21. The ability to play the last few seconds of a track (possibly a JAWS feature). 22. The ability to easily get information about streams and tracks, such as the bit rate. I'm sure there are other features that don't come to mind immediately. If Dane or anyone else can tell me of another free or low cost player which they know will doo all of the above as well or better than Winamp, I would be willing to give it a try.

RE: The new version of winamp
Dane, I am not suggesting that Winamp is perfect. I have had crashes with it and there is an issue for me using JAWS in having it not properly gaining focus until I do a JAWS screen refresh. I have, however, looked at VLC, Windows Media Player and other players, and none of the others appear to give me the option to do all of what I can do with Winamp. If VLC and Windows Media Player meet your needs, well that is fine, but there are others like me who have found from experience that Winamp has much more flexibility. If you deny this, I can only say that you need to think again.

RE: Editing Mouth Noise and Braille Display Clicks

Thanks for your thoughts. I have my master mic volume on my mixer quite low in order to reduce room hiss/ambience, so that means my mic and display end up quite close together. I've briefly tried putting material underneath the display but this didn't seem to work (possibly because the noise is coming from the cursor and other elements on top of the display rather than underneath it). What, if any, sort of barriers would you be thinking of placing between the display and mic? The pop shield for the mic currently sits roughly over the display with the mic placed behind it. I used to have the mic positioned to the side of me rather than in front of me, but this inhibited my breathing as I had to lean over myself to get close to the mic, and as I'm narrating books I naturally need to be able to take deep breaths.

Sound card recommendation wanted
Hi all, Can anyone suggest a good quality internal sound card where the accompanying software is JAWS friendly. I want one with separate line in and microphone jacks and if possible two sets of stereo line out. My old Sound Blaster Live could do this. Thanks very much, Barry Chapman
Re: Stereo AM
This is true. However, AM stereo never really took off in Australia, other than for car radios, although a number of stations either did or still do use it. I don't actually own an AM stereo receiver. These days in Australia, most of the music stations are on FM while the AM band is mainly for talk stations. In the capital cities where digital radio exists, all the major AM and FM stations simulcast in digital stereo, along with other digital only stations.

Re: WinAmp / Windows Media.
Hi Colin, Firstly, .m3u is more generic and will generally open the media player you have as the default for opening .mp3 files. This can be Winamp, Windows Media Player or something else. .pls is more specifically for Winamp and the equivalent for Windows Media Player is .asx. Also, .ram is for RealPlayer and .qtl is for the QuickTime player. It should be noted however, that if you select all file types in Winamp, it will take over .asx. The format for file names in a .asx file is the same as for a .m3u file.

However, now in order to hear where my selection has stopped, I have to listen through the whole section that has been selected. This takes up much more time. I am not sure what has gotten unchecked or changed and am hoping someone on this list does. So simply put, I once could just select the sound and soundforge would just play the selected data. If I stopped arrowing, sound would stop immediately. If I moved the arrow right or left, sound would respond immediately with the new stopping place. I hope I explained my question.

The difference in Windows, is which program the file will launch by default. .pls will usually launch Winamp, .asx will launch Windows Media Player and .m3u will launch which ever one you have as your default media player.

Re: enqueue and play does not show in context menu
Hi again Mike, Looking back on one of your previous messages, you say one of the entries you have in Windows Explorer is Add to Windows Media Player List. This suggests to me that you have MP3 files associated with Windows Media Player rather than Winamp. If you press enter on an MP3 file in Windows Explorer, does it launch Winamp or Windows Media Player? The Winamp options will only appear if you have MP3 files associated with Winamp.

Hi Mike, Try the following. If it doesn't work, please let me know and I'll check to see if there are other relevant settings I have missed. 1. Start Winamp. 2. Press ctrl+p for preferences. 3. Arrow to the Shell Options. 4.

Tab to Close and press enter. 6. Start Windows Explorer, open a folder containing MP3 files and arrow to an MP3 file. 7. Press alt. 8. Arrow to Enqueue and Play in Winamp, and press enter. For me, it is not with the other Winamp options. It is after Open. This should place the selected track after the one which is currently playing.

Quite a while back, I had written to the pc-audio list to find out how to insert a track immediately below the currently playing one in Winamp. Someone on the Pc-audio list, had given me some directions as to how to do this. I followed all the steps they set out in their email message, explaining how to get Winamp to insert a new track below the one that's already playing in the playlist. However, the (enqueue and play in Winamp) option doesn't appear anywhere in the context menu of Windows Explorer for some weird reason. The list member said to go to the shell options under the preferences treeview/dialogue, and checked the check boxes for add enqueue play to Winamp associated filetypes, insert enqueue files after the currently playing file, and leave playback on the currently playing file. Once that was done, I loaded my playlist of songs, pressed enter on the first song in the playlist and The song plaied as normal. While it was playing, I pressed Windows key and E, to open windows explorer and navigated to the folder where the file I wanted to add was located and highlighted the file. But when I pressed alt F to bring up the file menu, I did not see anything that said Enqueue and play in Winamp under the file menu. I even tried going directly to the (my music) folder, which is where all my music is kept, highlighted a file I wanted to add to the playlist, and tried pressing both alt F and using the applications key, but no matter which method I tried, the enqueue and play in Winamp icon was still no where to be found. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Has anyone else ever had this issue with Winamp? Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Mike Rochester, NY. Mike Rochester, NY.

Re: Multichannels in Sound Forge
While Sound Forge has multiple channels, I don't think it has multi track recording facilities which is what you need. Audacity apparently will do what you want, but I haven't used it myself. You could sort of do what you want with Sound Forge. For example, say you wanted to record your voice over a backing track, you could play the backing track in something like Winamp whilst recording your voice with Sound Forge. Then you could load both files into Sound Forge, adjust the start so that they were both in sync and do a mix.

The reason I want to do so is because I have an accompaniment track for a solo I am singing this Sunday at church but their sound system is not the best and the song starts out soft then the electric guitars kick in. The sound guy would set the level for the loudest part so I would not be able to hear the accompaniment during the softest sections so would not know if I was on key and in time or not. If I could lower the volume of the loud sections the type of accompaniment would chane but not the volume. so all could be at a level OK with everyone.

Re: extra long range wireless audio?
Hi Simon, I bought a unit from the following link. It has an output power of 500mW which should give you the range you need and the price is quite reasonable.

I have spent a small fortune trying out a number of audio senders with there own transmitter and receivers, and some of the small self contained fm transmitters that are around, but nothing I have tried so far has the longer range I need, as they all seem to be designed to be used either very near, or at best in the next room to the device one is trying to send the audio from. this does not give me the range I need to send the audio from either my computer or sky box, which are at the front of my house, through in to the back garden, which is where I want to receive the audio, so that I can enjoy both nice weather (when we do get it), and either the racing or audio from an internet station. it is quite a big place, so I have had to get a repeater station for my cordless phone, which otherwise would lose signal when I took it out the back, and that was supposed to have around a 50M range. so to be sure of getting a clear and high quality audio signal, any wireless device needs to have a good 100M range at the very least, preferably more if I can get it.

Re: Winamp questions
Hi Mike, Pressing l when in the Winamp playlist editor will place the file at the end of the playlist. There is a way of inserting a file after the one which is currently playing, but it involves changing some options in Winamp and also using Windows Explorer. To achieve this: 1. Open the Winamp preferences with ctrl+p. 2. Arrow to the Shell Options. 3. Check the checkbox for each of the following: Add 'Enqueue Play' to Winamp's associated file types Insert enqueued files after the currently playing file Leave playback on the currently playing file 4. Open a playlist in Winamp and start playing. 5. Open Windows Explorer and arrow to a file you wish to insert. 6. Press alt+f for the File Menu. 7. Arrow to Enqueue Play in Winamp and press enter. This will insert the selected file after the one which is currently playing. I am not aware of any cart machine type plugins for Winamp. I hope this helps.

I wanted to ask you guys about Winamp. I recently downloaded version 5.63, which I've heard is very accessible with Windows xp and Windows 7. However, after listening to a discussion about Winamp on an old episode of Mainn Menu from the ACB Radio archive, one of the broadcasters said, that Winamp has a weird querkyness about it. They said, that When you're playing a long playlist of items, and try to insert a track into the list, instead of placing the track below the one that's currently playing, Winamp will instead place the track at the bottom of the playlist, which may not be where you want it to go. Being that the episode of Main Menu I listened to goes way back to April 17 2000, the information I heard might no longer be relevant. For any of you who use Winamp for either broadcasting and/or personal listening, is there any way to fix Winamp, so that it will place newly inserted tracks into their proper place in a playlist? Also, is there a cart machine plug-in for Winamp, that allows users to play sound effects and radio station jingles? I know that Station Playlist Studio can do all of this, but in case I'm not able to get my hands on a copy of Playlist Studio, I might end up having to use Winamp for broadcasting. I'm not giving up on getting Studio just yet, but if I should need to, I'll have to use Winamp as an alternative. Thanks. Mike Rochester, NY.

Re: How to do a partial fade in Sound Forge
Hi Steve, Have you tried using the voice over mix option? From the edit menu, go to paste special then mix then voice over mix. I assume you will want to have something over the section at the lower volume, but if you don't, just mix a file of the required length containing silence. You can adjust the voice over mix parameters. I have needed to do the same thing myself and find that the voice over mix option does what I want.

Because of previous inquiries I have written up a basic guide to keyboard commands for this editor. Enjoy. Jeff MP3 Direct Cut is a free direct mp3 editor, splitter, cutter and recorder. Download MP3 DirectCut from http://www.mpesch3.de Play and Stop by using the SpaceBar. During playback, the F8 key will increase playback speed and F7 will decrease it. Rewind and fast forward using cursor left and right or page-up and page-down. The latter two keys move in larger increments than the first two. The number of frames each pair moves can be set via the configuration menu. How to mark beginning and end points of a selection for deletion, saving as a separte file, etc: While playback is stopped, Use the letter b to mark the beginning of a selection Use the letter n to mark the end of a selection The following commands use the numbers row above the letter keys, not the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard. These commands move by frame. One frame is roughly a 38th of a second: 1: Move the beginning mark of a selection one frame to the left 2: Move the beginning mark of a selection one frame to the right 3: Move the end mark of a selection one frame to the left 4: Move the end mark of a selection one frame to the right With the following keys, one can exactly hear, where the margins of a selection are: F5: Plays the two seconds before the beginning mark of a selection F6: Plays the first two seconds of a selection F7: Plays the last two seconds of a selection F8: Plays the two seconds after the end mark of a selection F9: Plays a portion of the file around the selection as if the selection had been deleted To remove a selection one can press the delete key. This does not touch the MP3 file. It just modifies an MP3DirectCut index. Therefore, cuts are made quickly. There are also menu options and shortcut keys to save a selection into a different file. For instance, Ctrl-E will save the selection with the opportunity to choose its own filename. and Ctrl-W will save the entire audio using the current name or edit it to something different. To split an MP3 file, which consists of a complete album, one can use the pause detection feature, which can be reached via the menu system. It will set a marker before each song. These markers are actually selections with a length of zero. To check the markers, one can go from one to the other with Control cursor right and Control cursor left. The file can then be split according to the markers. Or one can save a cue sheet file or an MP3 DirectCut project file. Both would contain the markers. With these marker files, one can easily find certain positions in an MP3 file. To go to a specific time position within the audio file, use Control-p. The displayed edit box is a bit odd. Don't delete the words in it, just modify the numbers for the current file position. One has to leave in place the apostrophes, which separate hours minutes and seconds. The program needs these apostrophes Then, there are the recording shortcuts. r: Opens the record dialog, in which sighted people can adjust the recording level p: Starts the recording, when the recording dialog is open s: Stops the recording.

Hi Howard, I don't know anything about the program in question, but make the following comments. Whenever you look at any audio CD in Windows Explorer, you will only see the .cda files.

To try to determine why the CD won't play in another CD player, when playing a track in Winamp, press Insert+shift+t and check the detail. If the Sample rate is not 44 kHz, then that could be your problem.

I'm using Burn Aware Free trying to burn a music CD. I go down the list of files and add each of them (35) to the New Compilation screen. Then I go back to the first screen that shows the drive letter, speed (Iselected slowest), and list of files in the compilation. I have to select all files then Burn. A box on this screen shows the space and time used and remaining. I hit Burn and it runs for quite a long time--maybe 15 minutes--jaws announcing up to 100% for each track. When it's finished, it dings and ejects the CD. Now when I try to play the CD--using Winamp 5.621--it plays fine. When I look at the CD in My Computer or Windows Explorer, all the files are CDA and only 1KB and called shortcuts. When I take the CD to a different CD player, it's empty. Anybody know what step I'm missing?

Re: Ehh. more winamp help please
Hi Walter, If you have tracks in your playlist, you can arrow up and down the list. When you press ctrl+n, you don't get any feedback, so you might think nothing has happened, but then try arrowing down and you will find there is nothing there.

Re: Winamp Bookmarks
You can always copy the bookmark files. They are Winamp.bm and Winamp.bm8. If you need to merge files, you will probably need to do it manually in a text editor (they are just text files with a line for the URL and a second for the description). I don't think there is a sync facility. With Windows XP, you will find the files either in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Winamp or C:\Program Files\Winamp.

Hi Walter, The files go into C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins on Windows XP. I'm not sure about Windows 7.

CD copying recommendation needed
A small blindness organisation has asked me to recommend a program for copying their quarterly audio newsletter. I know there are many programs which will do this, but I am looking for something without bells and whistles which will simply do the following and is accessible and easy to use. 1. Can read a CD to temporary storage on hard disk. 2. Can produce a specified number of exact copies of the CD. That is, if 20 copies are specified, eject each CD once copied and prompt for the next until the 20 copies have been made. 3. Has an option to specify the write speed. 4. Has an option to verify that the disk has been written correctly. 5. The program is fairly inexpensive or preferably free. Note that it needs to do an exact copy of the disk rather than track by track, since there aren't gaps between the tracks on the original, so they don't want them on the copies. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Barry Chapman To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: CD copying recommendation needed
Thanks Dane. At least this message is a little more constructive than your previous one.

Re: FYI foobar and winamp blog
I have been a long time Winamp user, but have been reading the recent discussion on Foobar2000 with interest. I would consider changing to Foobar if it can do all of the following, which are possible with Winamp. The inability to do them would be a show stopper for me. 1. The ability to search for a file in a playlist and move it to immediately after the currently playing track. 2. The ability to locate a file with Windows Explorer and insert it into the playlist immediately after the currently playing track. This can be done with Winamp although how to do it is not immediately obvious. 3. The ability to tell the player to stop playing at the end of the current track or a selected track further along in the playlist. 4. The ability to play the last ten seconds or so of a track without needing to specify the time. 5. The ability to jump to a specified time in a track. 6. The ability to move forward and back by 5 second increments in a track by the use of arrow keys or similar. 7. The ability to read the sample rate, bit rate and number of tracks of a file. 8. The ability to modify ID3 tags. 9. The ability to cross fade tracks (I know this can be done with Foobar). 10. The ability to equalise the output volume of files. That will do for starters.

Re: Advice wanted on USB speakers
Thanks Bob. I was eventually able to track down some Rock 302G speakers from Austin Computers in Perth, Western Australia, but I got the last ones they had. There are a number of sites which still have them listed, but none of the others I contacted had them in stock, and the manufacturer say they are discontinued, so I don't think they will ever be getting any in.

Hi Vinny, If you are wanting to create a standard audio CD, you can't do it by just converting MP3 files to WAV. If you view an audio CD in Windows Explorer, you will see files with a CDA extension, but these files don't actually contain the sound.

Re: Logitech S-20 USB powered speakers
When I couldn't easily find a replacement for my Rock speakers, I bought the Logitech s-150 speakers. Unlike the S-20, they also have the sound come via the USB lead, so for someone using a screen reader you can have the screen reader speech come through the built in speakers while the music and so on can come through the S-150. With the S-20, you need to plug a lead into the headphone jack, so you still only have one sound source.

Re: Advice needed on configuring two sound cards
That is correct. They are USB speakers with an in-built sound card. They have three buttons on the front, one to lower the sound, one to increased the sound and the third to mute. Unfortunately they adjust the volume of the internal card rather than the USB speakers. I could probably solve this problem by making the speakers rather than the internal card the default sound card, but that would also cause sounds which by default I want to come through the internal card to come through the speakers. I have a lead from the internal card to my hi-fi system which I use for listening to music etc. I use the USB speakers for JAWS. I can adjust the JAWS volume by going into volume settings in Windows, but it would be nice if I could also use the buttons on the speakers. I am aware that if I made the speakers the default sound card, I could force programs such as Winamp to use the internal card, but I would need to do that for every media player and I didn't really want to have to go down that track since some players don't provide that option anyway.

Your USB sound card has its own external Volume control that seems to be adjusting the internal card?--- here's your chance to help me go to the American blind bowlers Association's National bowling tournament this may. click the link below for more information. http://www.wrighthere.net/donations.html - Original Message - From: Barry Chapman ba...@bchapman.id.au To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2011 6:07 PM Subject: Re: Advice needed on configuring two sound cards Hi Robert, It isn't the default card and I don't want it to be, because if I choose a listen link on the Internet, I want it to come through the other card.

On my desktop PC, I have two sound cards. The default card I use for listening to music etc. The second I use for listening to JAWS. No problems so far. The USB speakers used for JAWS have buttons to turn the volume up and down. The problem is that rather than adjusting the volume of those speakers, they adjust the volume of the other sound card. Using Windows XP, does anyone know how I can select which sound card they control.

Re: Advice needed on configuring two sound cards
Thanks Ken. I already have an Artic Transport and that is mostly what I used to use until recently, but I decided to go down the other track because I prefer the Eloquence speech.
