Re: polllice scanners
I'm wondering the same thing as I will eventually have to replace the one that I have now. The one that I have now is very difficult for me to use although I have been able to do some things with it. It is an old Radio Shack scanner that was on close out about seven years ago and it isn't up-to-date with some of the changes that have occurred. Some of the controls don't work well on it any more so its set where I need it and I seldom make changes. There used to be a Blind Scanner group on Yahoogroups but I lost the contact info when I changed computers having to migrate to Windows Live mail from Windowsmail.

Re: I don't understand: adding station to TapinRadio
if you do a search under the call letters of the station you will get a direct link to the official site.

Chuck -Original Message- From: Steve Pattison Sent: Friday, November 28, 2014 7:55 AM To: PC Audio Subject: Update on TapinRadio Crashing Hi all, Recently there was some discussion about TapinRadio crashing for some people on the list. I mentioned that I had solved this problem by uninstalling my anti-virus program which is ESET Smart Security version 8, updating TapinRadio with the latest station presets and then re-installing ESET Smart Security. Since then I've found that every time I update the station presets in TapinRadio with my anti-virus program installed I get the problem other people have reported with an error similar to web downloader not responding. So I have actually uninstalled my anti-virus program, updated the TapinRadio presets and then reinstalled ESET Smart Security for a second time. After the second installation of ESET Smart Security I went into the options of TapinRadio and turned off the option to check for new station listings automatically. Since I've turned this option off I haven't had any problems with TapinRadio crashing. However while I can now listen to stations on TapinRadio I can't update the presets for fear of TapinRadio crashing again. I'm using Windows 7 32-bit with all important Windows Updates installed. I hope a solution to this problem can be found for those of us who are getting the crashes in TapinRadio. Regards Steve.

Second, it seems that the database hasn't been updated for some time, I can of course only go on what I see in my country of Australia as that's the only place I've looked thus far. I estimate that the database is over 4 years old as there are many stations which were boradcasting 4 years ago listed here. Many of the stations referred to in Australia are not streaming now due to royalty issues which still needed to be sorted in the Australian courts so - if you hear nothing on a stream - then don't be surprised. I guess that's the disadvantage of having an App like this use its own database, you have to be pretty dedicated to keep that database up to date. Perhaps the developer has good reasons for ding this, I don't know what sort of fee the Vtuner database of Internet radio stations and Podcast would charge any developer for access, I know that a lot of the products I have here from Sangean, Denon, Yamaha and Pioneer use it for their Internet Radio data but then again these company's have pockets filled with cash compared to an individual software developer. Apart from all that I was most impressed with the layout of the software so I sincerely hope that we'll see more udpates to Tapin Radio in the future.

Re: Tapin Radio crashes when doing a search
well, I've been using the paid version of AVG and it didn't indicate any problems. I think this is something on their end.

I do believe Eset may be part of the issue, because when I downloaded a fresh copy of tapin radio from the rummersoft website, Nod 32 flagged the setup file as some kind of virus, which it wasn't. I would remove Nod 32 as a test but I don't want to put myself at risk from viruses and other bad stuff out there. Even after completely removing the software, I'm talking about even removing the program and all associated registry entries, a re-install of the software exhibits this same behavior. I've not been able to get ahold of them. They're on Facebook, but they've asked people not to send them private messages as they won't see them. so this is a tough one. I'm guessing we'll just have to keep trying. Glad I'm not the only one with the problem. On 11/9/2014 10:18 AM, Tom Kaufman wrote: They _are_ in the states?

Re: Tapin Radio crashes when doing a search
the problem seems to involve the downloads or installation of updated station lists. The latest lists that I received in previous versions was around 920 or there about. I think the latest one should be 927 or 928. After reinstalling the program it says that I have list version 200 and there are no menus that are shown under genres or networks. It appears as if there are no lists of stations to browse or search.

Re: Tapin Radio crashes when doing a search

I believe Tapin' Radio is in the Czech Republic; have you considered the program Radiosure, or Replay Radio 9 by Applian Technologies? Applian is in California and US-based; there's a subscription charge but it's not much; try Applian's website for more info. Thanks.

Chuck -Original Message- From: Chris Skarstad Sent: Saturday, November 8, 2014 8:34 AM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Tapin Radio crashes when doing a search Hey guys As the subject line says, as of this past week for whatever reason, Tapin Radio has suddenly started to crash on me when performing a search by typing something into the edit box on the main screen. For example, when I type a station's call letters, a dialogue suddenly appears and says, Tapin radio failed to load presets, would you like to download them from our website? there are yes, no, and cancel buttons. when I press yes, a download button appears but when i press it, the program crashes. When i answer no, another dialogue appears and says, couldn't load presets, pre-mature end of document, with an ok button. I've tried completely uninstalling and re-installing the program with both the free and paid versions and it still exhibits this behavior. I've been using Tapin for ages now and have never seen this. I wrote to the support folks for Tapin Radio and haven't received any kind of response, so I figured i'd ask here. The only major change I made lately is that I installed a newer version of Nod 32 antivirus on my machine, so I wonder if the 2 aren't fighting with each other?So if anyone knows if there's a fix for this, I'd appreciate it. I miss using Tapin to listen to internet radio! Thanks! Chris
