I'm not familiar with the newer models of the Zen Stone. The last one I 
got was a 4G Zen Stone with External Speaker. Ray's right. It just shows 
up as an external storage device, on your PC so you only need Windows 
Explorer to copy music over to it. You don't need an application like 
itunes.


Unless the newer Xen Stones have gotten a big larger, more sophisticated 
and more expensive, they compare mor to the iPod Shuffle than the iPod 
Nano. Also, the newest iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano don't use Voice Over, 
like the iPhones and iPod Touch does. Instead, you can use iTunes to copy 
over voice clips to the Shuffle or the Nano to have the menus, files and 
folders spoken to you. this is similar to the way Rockbox works.

I totally agree, and I've since retired my two Zen Stones in favor of a
Sansa e280 running Rockbox. However, a Zen Stone is going to be easier to
use and work right out of the box. If you're looking for the simplest and
cheapest off the shelf product to listen to music, audio books or DRM
protected files then I'd still recommend the Zen Stone, if you can find 
one.


I don't find any of this hard to do with Rockbox on the Sansa e280, but 
here

are the steps you'd have to go through to get a truly accessible portable
media player:
1) Make sure you get a v1 version of the Sansa e200 series. The v2 
versions
won't work with Rockbox. Note there are other players supported by 
Rockbox.

I also have an iRiver H20 running Rockbox. Check out rockbox.org for the
list of supported players.
2) Download and unzip Rockbox to your Sansa e200. To do this you need to
make sure the Sansa attaches to your PC as a mass storage device. You'll
also need to update the Sansa's boot loader. This is all pretty well
documented in the Rockbox documentation.
3) Download the voice file and unzip it onto your Sansa to get the menus 
to

be spoken to you.
4) Download the Voice Box utility to create audio clips for the files and
folders on your Sansa.
5) Use something like Sound Taxi to convert your DRM protected files into
MP3 files that you can play on your Sansa running Rockbox.
None of this is particularly hard, and if you do this, you'll end up with 
a
much more accessible and featured rich portable MP3 player, but it is 
going

to take a little time and a bit of work.

Well, I can say that I've tried the Zen Stone, which was a screenless one;
I've tried Rockbox on a Sansa; and I've tried a 4th generation iPod Nano.
IN the past, I had also tried a Samsung Pebble and a chinese-made mp3
player, both of which were screenless.  I have to say that the Rockboxed
Sansa was most impressive to me.  It definitely has more bang for the 
buck,
and I found it to be the most-accessible option for under $100.00 for 2, 
4,

6, or 8 GB, expandable memory, FM stereo, voice notes, recording from FM,
and playes many different file types, while speaking the menus and being
able to set up your folder and file names to be spoken as well.


From personal experience, i must say that the learning curve on the
iPod side seems a lot more complicated when compared to Rockbox on the 
Sansa
players.  Also with the iPods, you have to get used to using iTunes as 
well!
With the Rockboxed Sansa, all you have to do is to copy and paste your 
files

onto your player and off you go.

did which can be downloaded at:

Hi!

Here's a summary of the accessibility features and functions found on
the new Ipod Touch as taken from the Apple Web Site.


Vision
iPod touch includes a screen reader and other innovative accessibility
features that make it easier to use for those with impaired vision.
VoiceOver

The same VoiceOver screen reader made popular on the Mac and the
iPhone is now a standard feature on iPod touch (3rd generation). It’s
the world’s first gesture-based screen reader, enabling you to enjoy
the fun and simplicity of iPod touch even if you can’t see the screen.
What makes VoiceOver on iPod touch remarkable is that you control it
using simple gestures that let you physically interact with items on
the screen. It’s easy to learn and fun to use. Instead of memorizing
hundreds of keyboard commands or endlessly pressing tiny arrow keys to
find what you’re looking for, with VoiceOver you simply touch the
screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then
gesture with a double-tap, drag, or flick.
VoiceOver delivers an experience unlike any screen reader you’ve used
before. Traditional screen readers describe individual elements on the
screen, but struggle to communicate where each element is located or
provide information about adjoining objects. This contextual
information is very important but typically filtered out by other
screen readers. For example, “off-screen” models used by traditional
screen readers to represent applications and web pages intentionally
strip away contextual information and describe web pages as a list or
menu of items. But with VoiceOver on iPod touch, you’ll experience
something entirely new.
Because VoiceOver works with the touchscreen, you interact directly
with objects on the screen and can understand their location and
context. So, when you touch the upper-left corner of the screen,
you’ll hear what’s in the upper-left corner of a web page, and as you
drag your finger around the screen, you’ll learn what’s nearby,
providing an amazing new sense of context and relationships between
the items you hear. For many, VoiceOver on iPod touch will provide,
perhaps for the first time, a true sense of not only how things appear
on the screen, but also descriptions of what they are. You’ll hear
descriptions of every item, including status information such as
battery level, Wi-Fi signal levels, and time of day. iPod touch even
lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait, and
when the screen is locked or unlocked.
The speaking rate is adjustable so you can set it to a speed that best
suits your listening ability. VoiceOver uses distinctive sound effects
to alert you when an application opens, when the screen is updated,
when a message dialog appears, and more. And when VoiceOver is
talking, the volume of background sounds and music is automatically
lowered, “ducking” under the voice, so you can clearly hear what
VoiceOver is telling you.

It Speaks Your Language
VoiceOver includes built-in voices that speak over 21 languages
including Bahasa Indonesian, Chinese (Cantonese), Chinese (China),
Chinese (Taiwan), Dutch, English (U.S.), English (UK), English
(Australian), Finnish, French (Canada), French (France), German,
Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese
(Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish
(Mexico), Spanish (Spain), Swedish, Thai, and Turkish.
Getting Started
VoiceOver is built into iPod touch (3rd generation). There’s nothing
extra to purchase or install. All you need is iPod touch, iTunes 9 or
later, and a Mac or PC. You can activate your iPod touch and enable
VoiceOver without sighted assistance using iTunes with a compatible
screen reader like VoiceOver (included in Mac OS X) or GW-Micro Window-
Eyes for Windows XP and Windows Vista (sold separately). When you
activate iPod touch using

That's how I have mine structured. Trying to get it to work with ITunes

For example I like listening to an artists progress; so instead of starting 
with a, I want it to start with the first year. (so would have to retag the 
album to something like 1992 - dirt, instead of just dirt).


Which is why I love my rockboxed Ipod video. Anyway.

In order to make these programs work the way you want them to, it is
sometimes necessary to restructure your storage methodology--by artist
and album rather than just by track name.  That's the good and bad
side of these utilities.

Thanks for the info; I think I will purchase the Mobile Speaks because 
according to Humanware, the Orator will cost $450 and to pay that just for

prohibitive for me. I couldn't believe the cost; they must think all blind

Lauren,

From reading through the text version of the manual that Verizon posted
online, it seems to be a fully functional version of Talks for Windows 
Mobile, and it would probably do everything you want, including text 
messaging, email and Internet.  However, if you look at the answer to 
question 3 on the Answers page that I sent the link for, you will hear 
the word nontransferable in the answer about the cost.  This makes me 
think that the $99 price is just for a Talks license for this phone and 
cannot be transferred to another phone later.


Mobile Speaks has a higher initial cost, but it can be transferred to a 
new phone when a better one comes along.


If you have the Blackberry Tour 9630, you can wait for Orator for 
Blackberry to be released by Humanware.  They say it will be released 
soon, but they don't say when, and they don't give a price.  They say it 
will support all of the core Blackberry applications.  This is the only 
Blackberry model they mention specifically in the information on their 
web site.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the info. Verizon sells the Ozone with Talks preloaded, but I 
can't find out if it is a limited or fully functioning version. If I 
choose it, do you know if I can navigate everything myself like 
accessing menus, email, internet and texting? Use of the internet would 
really be great for me!


The Talks cost $99; the Mobile Speaks, does it allow you to do 
everything and would it work on a Blackbury? I think I mad the mistake 
of buying a Blackbury Tour with Vlingo, but am discovering it won't let 
me access what I need. Verizon will let me trade to another phone 
without any penalty because of my disability.


Please advise and thanks to Gary also for his very helpful link.

Good morning List,

Here is the promised information.

A few months ago I started hearing talk of a Smart Phone that was fully
accessible to blind people.  This phone was from Verizon and contained
the Talks program.  The phone was a Motorola Q-9C and with the speech
program cost $249 with a 2 year contract.  According to Verizon, the
Moto phone was the only one they offered that would do this.  Of course
I was eager to have a phone that would allow me complete access to all
it had to offer.  I was currently using the Env 2 and I could read and
compose text messages, but as far as simple things like setting an 
alarm

or leaving myself a note, and many other things, it just wouldn't
happen.

I purchased the phone and found it to work fairly well, but it had a 
few

issues.  It came with Pocket Word that wasn't accessible with the Talks
program.  This left me a bit frustrated because I wanted full use of 
all

the features of this phone, and so I began to inquire of other types of
phones and different speech programs.  Through my searching, I
discovered that the Talks program Verizon sells and on the Moto phone
was not the fully functioning version of the program.

I was able to return the Moto Q to Verizon for a full refund after
hearing of a program called:  Mobile Speaks.  This program can be used
on Smart Phones running Windows Mobile along with Pocket PC's.  It 
works
with several different service providers and costs about $300.00.  I

Thats really funny since talks out performs Moble speak on my E71 and N95.

Before you start it, I know they are two different platforms and i suspect

Hi Chris,

You may have a point here.  I guess the reason I thought this was that
Talks seemed, when I compared the functions to Mobile Speaks, to be very
sluggish.  Also there didn't seem to be the same application access.  I
used Talks 2 different times for about 15 days each.  And again it may
be how each software package was written, and the platform they are
written for.

I have found out recently that ATT is selling Mobile Speaks for the
$89.00 that you mentioned.  I would be very curious to find out if it is
the fully functioning MSS and whether the license can be transferred to
other devices.

Have a good day.

Tim

Why do you say the Talks that Verizon sells is not the full working
version?
What are you comparing it to? I believe it's the only Talks sold for the
Windows Mobile platform, so I think it is the fully working version.

Just as Code Factory has different products for the Symbian, Windows
Mobile and Pocket PC platforms, Nuance has different products for the
Symbian and now Windows Mobile platform. I think people need to be
careful when talking about Talks that they're clear to specify the
Symbian versus Windows Mobile version.

I'm also not sure why you're saying Verizon is getting away with
anything selling Talks for $99. ATT sells Mobile Speak for $89, and I
think that's the same product you'd get from Code Factory for quite a
bit more. I suspect the price is more the result of a deal made between
Nuance and Verizon or ATT and code Factory than it is the fact that a
stripped down version of the screen reader is being sold.

Hi Lauren,

I think the version of Talks Verizon sells for the $99.00 would work for
most functions, but it is not the full working version.  That is
probably why they get away with selling it for the price they do.

Mobile Speaks does not work at this time for the Black Berry phones, but
it does work quite well with the Ozone, that is the phone I have.

You might talk to Verizon and they may let you have the good price on
the Ozone, I believe it was $49.00 with a 2 year contract.  If you can
afford it, I would get the Ozone without speech, and then you can
purchase Mobile Speaks.  I realize it is pricy, but you can transfer the
software to other Smart phones in the future should you decide at some
point to get another phone.  Of course, you can only run the software on
1 phone at a time, but when you need to, the transfer is quite simple.

Also, you get a fully functional 30-day trial before you have to
purchase, which allows you some time to acquire the funds.  The company
that I purchased my Mobile Speaks from has a 6 or 12 month purchase
plan.  They do charge a small fee for this, but it makes things a little
easier if you can't get the money at once.

You are able to access the Internet fine from this phone.  You do
however, need to have good cell service in the area in which you live.
You can set the phone up to retrieve your Internet E-mail, and it is not
difficult to read texts or E-mails.  I wouldn't use a phone as my main
source for surfing the net, but the feature is there should one need it.

Any other questions are welcomed.

Sincerely,
Tim Martin

Hi and thanks for the suggestion. One question though. How do I know when

and I can't recall how many times I tabbed to get to that combo box.


Thanks again for the help.

ok, this is what you need to do.
open up easy cd da extracter.
   now tab to your drive combo box.
and choose the  drive you want to use
now  do alt f and enter on retrieve.
this will retrieve the cd titles. for the cd you want to rip.
now if you have choosen your  file format you can now do  f 8 to start
ripping the cd.
let me know if this works for you.

Hi. Actually 2 things are happening here. What I'm doing is to right 
click
on the drive where my CD is waiting to be ripped. Easy CD DA Extractor 
comes
up, but it doesn't show my tracks. In fact, it shows nothing except for 
all
empty fields. I can find nothing to indicate which drive has focus for 
the
program and trying each drive yields the same results. Just out of 
curiosity

I pressed F8 to begin the rip, but nothing happens. No error shows
whatsoever. The program appears to be waiting for me to do something, but 
I
can't see what that might be. Of course it's possible, even likely that 
I'm

missing something here, which is why I wrote to the developer. But as I
said, he has not responded.

Why not get a netbook? You could just plug a cable from that into your audio 
center.
Netbooks cost anywhere from 300 to 400 dollars. I highly recommend the asus 
lineup. I might add here that if you need to do simple line in recording, 
the microphone jack works good with that, surprisingly.
I personally own the asus 900 ha, but its getting a bit old;if your looking 
for battery life (I'm guessing your not, but anyway) there's a new 1000 he 
out there that has a wapping 9.5 hours battery life, comes with wireless and 
bluetooth and costs 330 bucks.

Subject: Streaming Audio to a Non-Networked Device



I'm always after a better solution to my same old problem of streaming
Internet audio to a non-Internet device, such as my living-room
entertainment center, or my bedside radio.  I'm so disgusted with the
FM transmitter thing because of all the metal studs in my walls, I'm
once again looking at something I can use with my wireless router, put
it anywhere, and plug it up to an audio device as described above.  A
Media Center PC might be a good alternative, but are they under $500
yet?  The $500 price point is based on the price of a rather
interesting piece of gear from Logitech that will do the job and even
allow direct access to one's own media library, but of course it's
hopelessly inaccessible by a totally blind person.  The Media Center
PC, however, could be made accessible simply by installing a
screenreader on it, even if it's Narrator or one of the free ones out
there--we're not doing rocket science projects on it, we're just
picking music and playing it, so it won't matter how good the
screenreader is or isn't.  Like I said, even Narrator'll do for this
purpose!  And for your five portraits of Mr. Franklin, you get a real
computer to boot!

Has anybody had any experience with any of these streaming products
like the Logitech one?  Or is it your considered opinion to go the PC
or cheap Mac route?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

What is being talked about and what you are talking about are two completely 
different things. I might add here that jaws 10 already comes with scripts 
for itunes - and your paying half of the price of an ipod nano 8 gb (or 
more) to make a free peace of software accessible. 70 pounds = around 140 
canadian dollars.

I've said enough on that already.

Re: nero and vista.

Probably the ones that say system requirements windows xp or vista. 
*giggles*.
In all seriousness, I'd think starting from 7.0 or 8.0 should work. Not sure 
if there's a 7.5, but if there is maybe start there.
I can personally say nero 8 works great on xp, and it probably supports 
vista since it was released around the same time as vista to begin with.

replaced some of them with custom-built Foobar ones which are much better. 
An example would the SoundTouch plugin. I also have my broadcasting 
plugin, EdCast, configured in Foobar now too. After using Winamp for about 
3 years, I never thought anything would be better, but Foobar2000 is much 
better for me and it is being updated all the time. So, I will say to 
people who think Winamp is the best thing since sliced bread, give the 
Foobar2000 0.96 Beta4 a try and see what you think, I think you will be

 Hi Anders,

 Regarding Winamp the installation is extremely flexible so you can
 install as many or as few features as you want and need so Winamp
 doesn't have to take up a lot of space.  I like Winamp because I like
 experimenting with some of the DSP/Effect plug-ins available for 
 Winamp.

 I don't have Hal so I don't know how well the Winamp library works with
 Hal.  Another reason I like to use Winamp is because of the excellent
 Window-Eyes scripts now available for Winamp.  However if Foobar 2000
 meets all of your needs you might like to keep using it.  So you have a
 lot of options.

 Regards Steve.

 Actually i have been using foobar2000 for 4 years now.
 However from the beginning it was a really neat and great player.
 Though many functions i had in my first version of foobar2000 has been
 removed.
 For example, you now have to create your own hotkeys for play stop etc.
 Now to my question.
 Most people seems to use winamp and seems to be very satisfied with it.
 But it seems to take up a lot of space though.
 Now in the latest version of hal you can use winamp much more flexible
 than
 before.
 The screenreader has got new map files and scripts.
 So i am thinking to start using winamp again after 4 years.
 There is a streamripper plugin also for winamp.
 But why should i use winamp?
 More than what i've stated above.
 Can the library feature be used?
 Such as the shoutcast radio functionality i had in older versions of
 winamp.

Well, I'm not too sure. It would probably be more trouble than its worth, 
honestly. Besides, if you have up to date antivirus and malware  removing

User accounts, hardware profiles, and Jaws:
I just read in the help section of User Accounts in control panel that one 
should not use there own computer as administrator.  It is safer to surf 
the net with a lower privilege account.  Makes sense to me.  Now.  How 
much trouble will this be if I set up a user account for my self?  I am 
the only person that uses this computer.  Can different accounts start up 
with different hardware profiles?  How does this effect Jaws and logging 
on to my computer?Can I set up one account/hardware combination system for 
casual use such as surfing the Internet and another optimised for 
multy-channel audio, VST/DXI plugins,  and MIDI that would have no network 
and only services needed for the task?

Hi:

I have a really stupid question! I no that I must copy the update file 
onto the SD card and put it in and let the stream do its thing, but do I 
need to put the update file on a new card when I switch SD cards? Can I 
delete the update file off the card after the update installs? Because I 
know with the NLS authorization, that needs to be put on each card, right? 
Thanks, Deb.

I use a little freebee called Stream Ripper for Winamp.  After you 
install

it, it always comes up when you start Winamp but it isn't running--just
ready for you.  You first get the stream started and then use your screen
reader's systray access.  You'll find stream ripper for winamp in the 
list.

Just do a single right click on it.  You'll get a pop up list and it is
very easy to use.  It just has start ripping, stop ripping and exit.  It
also has a settings or maybe its called options that you can use to 
select

the destination folder to put the ripped files into (called output
directory)  You can also select never overwrite partial which I would
select because if the stream is interrupted it will overwrite what you
already have when it resumes.  With this checked, it just keeps making
separate files so you'll have a recording of everything you heard.  Hope
this helps.

you do first so as not to miss any part of the audio but not record a

I'm sure this is not at all difficult, and I know it seems pretty

Hmmm, could possibly be a network problem with Bear share. This

installed it onto a newly-reformatted Del computer, which had gone
from Vista to XP. It works fine for me, but after I installed it on a
computer which I primarily use for work, I had the same connection
issues. I'm thinking that either Bear Share is having network
problems, or 5.2.5 no longer works for new installs.

I'm thinking this could be a compatibility issue with the firewall

Re: JAWS Compatible Music Sharing Programs

Yeah, bear share works fine even with later versions. Mind you you need to 
use the jaws cursor, but its ten times easier to use than kaza (which 
probably has more spyware than you can shake a stick at by now anyway), and 
win mx which is pretty much obsolete, and finally lime wire, well, we won't 
even go there - you can get it to work, but its hit and miss, and more hit 
than miss in most cases. Besides, it uses the same network as bear share, so 
your getting the same content, anyway.

Still, though, even if speach isn't built in, and even if you have to use ms 
sam, your still getting speech - which is quite a revolution. And unless my 
ipod video's hard drive fails, it will be lasting a long time to come- the 
only thing I might even replace would be the battery.

I really want an 80 gb ipod video, though.

Re: Apple Releases New Ipod

2009-03-13 Thread Constantine
Yeah, but the fact that an actual popular company is doing this, without us 
having to instal alternate firmware - that's a step in the right direction. 
Might not be a revolution, but it sure beats what most companies are doing, 
and we don't have to use rockbox if we don't want to - but I like 
rockbox..lol.

Well, I agree it's a good development, but I wouldn't say what Apple is 
doing is revolutionary. Remember Rock box has used this technology for 
years. I installed rockbox on my first portable media player in 2007 and 
using talking clips to speak the menus, folders and file names wasn't new 
then. Right now I have Rockbox  running on a 30G iRiver, and I'm using 
Samantha or Jill for my voice. It's one of those voices that came with JFW 
8. Again, don't get me wrong, this is a great development, and I encourage 
Apple to continue down this path, but their claims of the first talking 
portable media player are distorted and the technology they're using isn't 
revolutionary.

Hi

Ok, first off:
http://www.rockbox.org
Rockbox doesn't support this player, and why should it, as it only has a few 
simple functions - please read up on said website before posting.

Secondly, scripts for what? JFW lite is outdated.

Hi Kathy and all,

ther is a pod cast somewhere of a fine fellow I think from the UK where
he reviews the Axux 900x.  The pod cast is amazing in that he had
several things going including JAWS, something called Tank Commander
and I think Goldwave while he was recording everything through his
onboard mics.  Does anyone know where that pod cast is?

Okay, gang. So I've installed Total recorder on my Asus computer, and
from what I can tell, there appears to be no What you hear option,
and I'm guessing it's because of the sound card the Asus uses.  I've
also installed a demo version of VAC which is utterly and totally beyond

my understanding!

Lol!  So, can anyone in Geekland please help me see if I can set up
VAC to be able to record, either through Total recorder or Studio
Recorder, both mike and sound card output at the same time?  Seems so
simple, but I guess it just isn't.  Many thanks in advance.

Actually it does have it on most netbooks, since they use realtech cards - 
and yes, there quite good. For the price, anyway.

Yes, many sound cards, like the one you have in that netbook, don't have
that functionality. To get around this you usually can install VAC,
which is Virtual Audio Cable. I had this problem with a stream server
that is run on a virtual machine with a SB16 sound card emulated. That
SB16 doesn't have the what you hear capability but adding Virtual Audio
Cable fixed that.

Your actually mistaken there, smile.
The feature is called stario mix, and you'll find it under audio settings. 
You'll have to go to properties by hitting alt p, and you'll have to go to 
the recording radio button, check stario mix.
It can be called stario mix, what you hear, wave out. I have 5 computers. 4 
out of those five have stario mix, the other one is something called record 
master.

I won't go so far as to say that all are using RealTech audio software, 
but I have seen MSP, Samsung, and the Dell Mini 9; which all seem to be 
using the same audio software.  This seems to limit your options for audio 
input, but is probably sufficient for what most people want to do with 
these systems.  On the other hand, my guess is that if you want to do any 
kind of serious recording you will want a separate external soundcard and 
better audio software.


Remember that a netbook is going to cost about the same as what many 
folks would pay for a good quality diggital recorder.  So, don't expect 
studio quality recordings with the standard hardware.

Re: net books with jaws.

2009-02-26 Thread Constantine

Ok...I'm just going to clerify some things here.

1. This list, as the mod said, is for discussing _audio_ only topics.
2. Some people aren't using google. Googling netbook, jaws - or some other 
variation would be your first start.
3. Why are you replying to another message and changing the subject all 
together? This makes the archives, if any, harder to navigate.
4. Of course jaws will work with these netbooks, as most of them come with 
windows xp home.
5. In response to Kens message, I think the acer lineup come with iether a 
120 or 160 gb hard drive. There might be solid state configurations but I'm 
not positive and have yet to see one. Mind you, I recommend the asus eee 
lineup over anything.

You can iether get one with a solid state drive - meaning it has no moving

Re: The New Netbooks

2009-02-23 Thread Constantine
I have an asus eee pc and like it more than the nc10. From what I've seen of 
the nc10, that's just boasting. My 900 ha has maybe a 90 percent full 
keyboard, probably less.


The soundcard on this thing rocks - for most things, anyway. It converts 
files in gold wave with no lag at all. Its better than most laptops in that 
it has xp. (keep in mind I'm keeping this as audio related as I can, sorry 
if I stray off topic just a tad). I average 4.5 hours on battery with a 4 
cell battery. None of the other netbooks can do that - because asus's super 
hybrid engine.


Again, love it. Will never buy another brand of netbook again - or laptop, 
for that matter.

Any of you using Skype 4.0 with JAWS 10 and do you need scripts for it. I 
currently am using Skyp3 3.8 with no scripts and it works very well. The 
new version has better sound quality and better vido quality. Thanks.

Hi All!  I'm wondering if anyone has yet tried using the new netbook 
computers.   I hear that they're quite handy to take from room to room, 
but again, the keys seem to be a bit smaller, and take a bit of getting 
used to.  Has anyone ever tried using one of these animals?

Re: The New Netbooks

2009-02-23 Thread Constantine

Hi

The asus eee pc line has some good netbooks too. In particular, the 900 ha, 
with wireless on, skype and windows live open and doing things, and using 
speedswitch xp and eee super hybrid engine, I get about 4.5 hours on a 
charge. with skype shut down, wireless off, I average 5.5-6 hours. This is 
with a 4 cell battery and it can varry greatly. The acer line of netbooks is 
worse off in battery, the 3 cell getting at most 2 hours - and that's 
pushing it.


The keyboard on this thing is pretty nice too - it takes some getting used 
to but honestly, its worth it.

Subject: Re: The New Netbooks


Let me make a few comments here.  I have used the MSI, HP MiniNote, the 
Samsung NC10, and the Dell Mini 9.  First let me say that I was totally 
disappointed by the Dell Mini 9.  The keyboard is too small, keys are 
crammed together, and a number of important keys are missing or have been 
moved.  The keyboard has not functionkey roe, and only has the ability to 
get functionkeys F1 thru F10.   Finally, the Dell has the same processor 
as the other units, but ran much slower and boots much slower.


The Samsung has a very nice keyboard, and is quite easy to type on at a 
rather fast pace.  The speaker sounds good considering the size of the 
unit, and works well even with software such as Kurzweil1000 and Openbook 
with a Canon Lide 200 flatbed scanner.  About the only complaint I could 
find was that the button to turn the unit on and off was on the side of 
the unit where a person could easily accidently press the button and turn 
the unit on or off without intending to do so.  The most fantastic thing 
about the Samsung is that with the great battery management software in 
the unit it gets around 7 hours of use on a charge.  That is a fantastic 
time for any laptop, and I have heard of no other netbook that can even 
come close to running as long on a charge.


The HP MiniNote I used was very nice, and had fantastic sound for its' 
size. The HP MiniNotes have very nice keyboards and are easy to type on. 
But, battery life per charge seemed to stay just over 4 hours per charge.


I baught a MSI Wind in December and absolutely love it.  I think the only 
minus is that the speakers are under the unit and do not sound as good as 
some of the other units because of their placement under the unit.  The 
keyboard is very good, easy to type on, and has nice size keys.  I am 
getting just over 5 hours of use on a charge of the battery (6 cell).  The 
MSI has a new firmware bios that allows the unit to be run in turbo mode 
that takes the speed of the processor to 2.0 GHZ instead of the 1.6 
standard.  But, because of the use of stepping you should not have to 
worry about overheating the processor because the processor will only run 
at the faster speed when processing demands call for the necessity of more 
speed for heavy processing.  This difference makes the MSI able to perform 
more quickly and crispy on a lot of applications than the other units here 
that do not have any turbo mode.


I have used Jaws 10, Window-Eyes 7, the latest NVDA, and the latest System 
Access on these units and had no problems using any of these packages on 
any of the units with the exception of keyboard issues on the Dell Mini 9.



This message was composed on a MSI Wind netbook.

Yes, but from those who have tried this unit, the concensus is just those
who are probably not using any screen reading or magnification technology 
so

to me its not valid points.

The NC10 does not have by any stretch of the imagination a 96% keyboard 
or

it would be the best seller.

I do think the Plextor Pocket is going to turn out to be the best
option
by
 far for those wanting high quality pro level recording in stereo.
 the
 only
 thing you could want that it doesn't have is 24 bit epth
recording which
 would be good particularly for music.

 I aught to go and look at the spec again, but does anyone
actually know
 if
 the Pocket has a limiter?

Re: mp3 players best for totally blind people

2009-02-20 Thread Constantine
Hmm...while we're on the subject of mp3 players. Why not find a sansa e or c 
200 series player and put rockbox on it. You can get these for 20 dollars or 
less.
Might I add that the stream and plextalk are meant for 2 totally different 
parts of the market? The plextalk isn't superior to the stream in any way, 
shape, or form - its just a different player all together and saying that 
its above the stream is just plain silly.
I haven't recharged my stream for about 18 hours of use. Which, I think is 
great, since it has a USB thumb drive plugged into it. The stream is too 
big? hrm..I don't think so.
Oh and there's a big price difference here too - for the sansa and things, I 
mean. If all you're going to do is play mp3 files, get a sansa. I'd be glad 
to show you how to put rockbox on it. (Oh, by the way. If it says anything 
about audible on the packaging, don't buy it; its the model 2, which rockbox 
doesn't support).
You could also probably find an iriver or iaudio - or maybe even a tasheeba 
gigabeat player somewhere too. A bit older, but they work perfect - at 
least, my ipod video 30 gb does.
Might I add that the sansa supports voice recording and does an ok job of it 
too?

Hi bruce and all

As I stated on another list, I must also agree with you.  I don't think 
the

two devices are really in composition.  They are meant for two slightly
different segments of the market.  But I do believe plextor has come up 
with

a winner here.

I would suggest that the best comparison to make is that the Plextalk is a
very good recorder that has some playback functionality, and the Stream is 
a

very good player that has some recording functionality. As has been said
elsewhere. they are both very good for what they have been designed to do.
The size difference is minute. The battery life of the Stream is
considerably longer than that of the Plextalk, so if it is playback
capability you are after, seriously consider the Stream, which plays MP3.
OGG Vorbis, Windows Media, braille, TXT, HTML, rich text, FLAC, and more 
in

terms of file format. If it is primarily recording you are interested in,
then I would say the Plextalk is your best bet, with its stereo recording
capability and line-in jack, etc. Both devices have their place, and it is
irresponsible to say (and I think I'm decoding the spelling correctly) 
that
one is just a way better player in every respect, because that is simply 
not

true.

 The victor reader stream is the most accessible player and I am not

 any cheap mp3 player will do. but for total access to what you are
 playing the stream is the player of choice. I even excuse the $300

Re: Intro and Help needed urgently, or at least fast

2009-02-16 Thread Constantine

That's the problem. You need a headset that isn't USB.
USB headsets can only use microhone output. If you get a headset that pluggs 
right into the soundcard you should be able to record your voice and 
speech - of course, this might depend, if your soundcard doesn't support the 
microphone in playback options.

Hi everyone,
I'm Rob.  Ok enough with the intro. lol
I want to record a demo showing off a piece of software.  I am running 
Windows Vista which is probably the cause of my grief.  I am using a 
Logitek USB headset mic.  What I would like to do is not only record my 
voice, but the speach synthesizer and the sounds of the software I am 
demoing.  Using the Headset Mic, I can only get voice to record, none of 
the otherh sounds I need.  I have a number of sound recording programs at 
my disposal including Sony Soundforge Sound Studio 9.0, audacity, 
goldwave.  I can get none of these to record more than just my voice.  I 
went to control pannel, sounds, went to the record tab and put it to 
stereo mix.  When I tried this, absolutely nothing records, so the 
frustration level is very very high. lol
Can someone give me a work around or even better a sollution so I can 
record voice, synthesizer, and sounds made by the software?  I even tried 
total recorder to no avail.

Thanks for your help in advance.
Rob, the incredibly frustrated, non demo recording person.

You can't use stario mix using a USB headset, as far as I know. Windows

I can't tell you  exactly how to do this in vista but go to the playback 
properties in the volume control and make sure mic and wave volumes are 
checked. then close the volume control. you should here the synthesizer and 
your voice through the USB headset once you plug it in. in the record 
properties, make sure the stereo mix is checked and do the same within 
which recording program you choose to use.

using a Logitek USB headset mic.  What I would like to do is not only 
record my voice, but the speach synthesizer and the sounds of the 
software I am demoing.  Using the Headset Mic, I can only get voice to 
record, none of the otherh sounds I need.  I have a number of sound 
recording programs at my disposal including Sony Soundforge Sound Studio 
9.0, audacity, goldwave.  I can get none of these to record more than 
just my voice.  I went to control pannel, sounds, went to the record tab 
and put it to stereo mix.  When I tried this, absolutely nothing records, 
so the frustration level is very very high. lol
Can someone give me a work around or even better a sollution so I can 
record voice, synthesizer, and sounds made by the software?  I even tried 
total recorder to no avail.

Thanks for your help in advance.
Rob, the incredibly frustrated, non demo recording person.

Re: Working with the Sandisk Sansa-270

2009-02-15 Thread Constantine
Ask for version 1 - but good luck finding it, sandisc probably made bigger 
and better things by now. In all honesty, if you can't find one in stores, 
you might try ebay. I'm sure there are a lot of mp3 players that rockbox 
supports on there. I'm using an ipod video 30 gb with rockbox on it and love 
the thing. I don't have to use Itunes or any of that software..

I do not know how to put it in English. Also, if you want, you can put
rockbox on it. (www.rockbox.org) It enables the Sansa to read Micro

I recently bought a 4GB Sandisk player, the Sansa 270, for $30.00
delivered.  Great price, but no manual; and no outboard charger, though
the data cable works for that too.

Bought it in part for my S.O. to enjoy the video screen and don't expect
it to be fully accessible, but all the messages on said screen are in
French.  Quel domage!

Any thoughts on tweaking the main menu back to English, which would make
it a more inviting device?  I must say the internal software seems quite
good.  Plug the darn thing in, and it starts finding your WMA files.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

I'd guess single layer would deteriate less since they'd have less of a

as much as single - so if storage is the answer, it sure would save

one can change ogg files in to mp3. in cdex160, and cdex170, the same 
facility seems to be available, but after changing the ogg file to mp3, it 
will give a value in bytes, and if opened in foobar, will give a value of 
lenhth in minutes. but, although it will play if done in cdex151, it won't 
play if done in cdex160 or cdex170. has anyone found a way round this. 
cdex170 is much quicker at ripping discs than cdex151 or cdex160, so for 
me it is preferable. if anyone is wondering why i would wisht to change 
ogg to mp3, i don't wish to for myself, but for a friend who wants mp3.

Re: Hope you can help with the iMic

I recommend putting that line in the .ini file. I also recommend downloading 
NVDA, since that just about always pulls through and if jaws isn't coming

Subject: Hope you can help with the iMic



Hi Donna, Gary, Alex, et al:

Y'all have been very kind and patient with me.  Thanks ever so much!  I
don't have individual email addresses so I can't go off-line.  Sorry to
those who are disinterested.  Here's the situation now that I have the 
iMic:


I have a Dell laptop, Windows XP, with a SigmaTel Audio soundcard.  I am
usually hooked up to a port replicator which also has its own sound card
called C-Media Headphone Set.  I have Jaws 9.0 as the screen reader and
Goldwave as the sound recording program.

To start with, I assume that I should disconnect from the port replicator
and use my laptop with the SigmaTel Audio default card.  So before 
shutting

down, I should go into Control Panel, Sounds, Audio tab, and check the box
at the bottom that says use only default devices.  I then do a shut down.

I attach the line outs from my tape deck into the iMic line in adaptor 
plug
and plug that into the line in plug on the iMic.  I flip the switch to 
line

in on the side of the device.  I then unplug the USB port replicator.  I
plug in the iMic USB plug and restart the laptop computer.

Will I hear Jaws when it comes on?  Do I plug in a set of headphones into
the output jack on the iMic?  If I don't get any sound, I will have to
abort.  The one thing that I will need to check is that my sound settings 
in
control panel and Goldwave are on the iMic for the recording device and 
that
the playback settings are on either the iMic for the headphones plugged 
into

the iMic or without headphones on the SigmaTel card.  But I can't do this
without Jaws.

In the old days when my old device was sometimes working, along with doing
the checkbox in the control panel sounds audio settings, I would bring up
the Jaws 9.0 ini file and insert the following at the last line before the
synth2 line:

Synth1Port=SigmaTel Audio

I don't know if I should do this or not.  Some have advised that I do this
and some say it is not needed.

I hope that you can help.  It's been a struggle to get back to eliminating
my vast tape and vinyl collection.  This is all I am focused on besides my
job.  It has become a quest of sorts.  I wish I had a sighted person along
side that can help, but it ain't happening without much pleading.  Besides
this isn't rocket science, or is it?  Smiles!

Let me know what you think!  You can contact me via any of the contact
points below.

Cheers,

Peter

i don't see why not. Just set windows to come out of your USB headset, then 
tell window eyes to come out of your main soundcard. I don't know about 
window eyes, but with jaws you edit a .ini file to tell it to use the main

Is it possible to keep WE coming out of the PC's audio out, and also,
at the same time, use a usb chat headset separately for classroom
work.  If this can be done, then I would be able to have WE coming
through a set of PC speakers while I am working with my usb headsets
for classroom work - again, at the same time.

There are, for example, I generally use isohunt.com. I've forgotten the
other torrent sites I've used, but I'm sure others will chime in, and of
course, you can find more than you can shake a stick at with Google.

Re: external hard drives

2008-12-28 Thread Constantine
I've got a caser vault here that's endured many dropps and bumps in the 2 
plus years of ownership. no drives should pose problems, since there all 
plug and play, meaning you can treat them as you would a USB thumb drive. 
Some may come with software but you dont need to use it. Seagate is good 
too, and there hard drives come with five years warranty.

Re: Friend Needs Help With Sound Card

2008-12-18 Thread Constantine

Hi,

I tried talking to someone with a soundmax card on skype. He had it working, 
for about 2 minutes that is. And we have no idea how exactly it worked. But 
just as abruptly, with no change of setting whatsoever, it stopped 
working, - meaning the microphone jack didn't work, and all I could hear was 
his jaws.


Hope this helps - sorry for the bad news

John,

Just so I understand, this card won't work for simple VOIP?  Seems hard
to believe there wouldn't be some way around it.  Dave had been hoping
the person at Wal-Mart might have had the jacks mis-wired.  This lady
knows nothing of computers, so he couldn't test his theory without her
moving cords, which she didn't seem to want to do.We were trying to
help out after she was unable to get into the chat on the ACB Radio
Tuesday Topics show in the ACB Radio Politics Room with Talkcom.  We
probably should say she's
an acquaintance, and all we know is what we know.  sigh  Please
understand I'm not doubting you, but rather our possible inability to
communicate that the lady simply wants to work VOIP.  Or is this what
you mean by monitoring live chats?

I think maybe it's time to suggest someone go over and check it out
hands on.  If there's no way around the issue it will be up to her
whether she wants to invest in a sound card, as it appears she received
the computer under the auspices of Florida rehab.  sigh

Hi all

A friend of mine has a very strange problem with her new laptop.

She uses a xitel device to play music from her laptop through a high 
quality
stereo system.  When she connects this device to her laptop while on 
battery

power, everything is fine and the sound is clear.  However, as soon as she
connects the power chord of her laptop, a lot of noise is generated 
through
her speakers.  She had another laptop before which was stolen, and it 
worked

fine.

She has already tried to connect the laptop to a different power outlet 
and

also tried to move the xitel further away from the laptop with a USB
extension cable  without any luck.

Any advice from all you knowledgeable folks?

Hi

You can buy a stario that will do it. But honestly, I'd use an AV cable, 
because buying a stario that could play thumb drives is a waste of money- 
your not getting very much money back- because the thumb drive costs a 
fraction of the system.

Best way I can think of is buy one of those cables that have two RCA
jacks
on one end and 1 at the other. Plug the end with 1 jack into a laptop,
with
a thumb drive in it, and plug the other two into a stario or tv equipt

Hi all,

Despite a bit of a roller-coaster ride at the last moment with the
iTunes 8.01 update, J-Tunes version 4.0 is now available to download.
Please read this message carefully as it contains important
information prior to download.

First, we must thank our beta testing team.  If it was not for the
dedication and support from our beta testers this product just
wouldn't have happened.  Considering iTunes 8 was released in
mid-September, and here we are in mid-October with a completely
rewritten and tested product is largely due to the hard work they have
put in.

Also thanks to the developer, Brian Hartgen who has worked day and
sometimes night to get this product to the stage that it is now. He
must be congratulated on a fantastic effort.

The User Guide is available on the website and I would encourage you
to read it as it is likely to answer all your questions.  We have
expanded it to include all the new features of J-Tunes and have
included a whole new section on the use of the iPod Nano 4th
generation which is the latest iPod with talking menus

J-Tunes will function as a demo by default.  However if you have
purchased J-Tunes version 3, you can upgrade free of charge. Please
read the section in the User Guide relating to how this is done. The
price for a full copy of J-Tunes in Australia is $75.00.

Literally as each day goes by, we learn more and more about iTunes. We
are collectively using more and more functions of iTunes to learn how
things work, and so there may be aspects of iTunes which are still
inaccessible.  If so, please let us know, but we hope J-Tunes 4.0 goes
a long way to addressing them.

Finally, as with all software, there may be problems with any software
package combined with iTunes.  However if a bug is conclusively found,
the only way to get it addressed for sure is to send it to me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I will then take responsibility for sending your report onto our beta
testing team. we will try and rectify it in the next J-Tunes update.
But we hope that you will enjoy the J-Tunes experience in using JAWS
with iTunes as our many customers have done until this point.

So for that all important link.  It is

Well, I think said equipment is a very expensive alternitive, so I'd 
recommend doing what you plan on doing- putting the songs on your computer 
in an mp3 format. I plan on doing that soon, and didn't know you could use 
CD EX for that.

Hi Donald.  Firstly, you will need a cassette player with either left and
right phono sockets or a headphone socket.  There is a free programme 
called

CDEX which includes with in it a recorder but if you want to split the
contents of the tape into separate tracks then you will need an audio 
editor

such as Gold Wave or Total Recorder or Sound Forge ETC.  These are also
recorders and will do what you want with ease.  If you don't want to split
the file into tracks then the CDEX recorder will do fine.  When you decide
what you wish to do and what programme you want to use then let us know 
and

we can help.  The problem is, until you decide what you want to do it is
difficult to give step by step instructions as each programme has 
different

controls and shortcut keys and although some on the list may be familiar
with all the well known editors, some like myself are only familiar with
Gold Wave and not any of the others.  If your end goal is to burn the
contents on your cassette to a CD then there is a piece of equipment that
will do that for you without having to use your PC but I don't know 
anything

more about it or what it is called as I've had no experience with it.
Perhaps some on this list though can help there.  Walter.

I too am a fan of freeware and open source software, but remember iTunes
has only just now become accessible out of the box. You may also need
the latest versions of the screen readers as well, like the second
release of the JAWS 10 Beta, although I'm not sure about this particular
point. I'm more than willing to pay for an accessible solution when
either there isn't a free accessible solution at all or the free
solution is just a lot tougher to use. I'll also support the development
of accessible software by paying for software that's been made
accessible, although there is a limit! I'm not sure if J-Tunes is worth
the price, but it's my understanding that up until Apple released iTunes
8, you didn't have a lot of other options.

Just to come clean, I've never used J-Tunes, itunes or an iPod. For my
part, the Apple space is just too expensive and proprietary, although to
be honest, the iPod Nano 4th Generation does have me intrigued.

Hi all

I hhave some questions regarding the victor reader xtreme especially
regarding it's recording quality.

This is probably one of the best pieces  of technology to come out in a
long time.

But can it be used effectively as a recorder for lectures and
conferences? And will an external microphone make a significant
difference  in the recording quality of this machine?

Would you be able to compare the recording quality with e.g. something
like the olympus recorders?

I have a serious hearing impairment so sound quality is of great
importance to me.

I cannot seem to find any sample recordings of this machine anywhere.
There are some good reviews though.

Please read the section in the User Guide relating to how this is done.
The price for a full copy of J-Tunes in Australia is $75.00.

Literally as each day goes by, we learn more and more about iTunes. We
are collectively using more and more functions of iTunes to learn how
things work, and so there may be aspects of iTunes which are still
inaccessible.  If so, please let us know, but we hope J-Tunes 4.0 goes a
long way to addressing them.

Finally, as with all software, there may be problems with any software
package combined with iTunes.  However if a bug is conclusively found,
the only way to get it addressed for sure is to send it to me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I will then take responsibility for sending your report onto our beta
testing team.
we will try and rectify it in the next J-Tunes update.  But we hope that
you will enjoy the J-Tunes experience in using JAWS with iTunes as our
many customers have done until this point.

HI listers.  I have some words of warning if any of you ever decide to
purchase the card I mentioned in the subject line.  I bought one of them,
and am currently working to get it sent back.  When recording, you can't 
set
levels by using a similar level to what the computer volume is for 
recording

line-in sources.  If you do, you will get lots of distortion.  Other than
that, the card seems to work fine except that in some games, I had to turn
the hardware sampling rate down to 33 percent so the computer wouldn't
crash.  Assuming all goes well, I intend to go with the sound blaster x-fi
OEM card.  I would welcome any comments or ideas on this matter.  Thanks

Subject: A digital recorder wanted


 Hi all,

 Can anyone suggest a product which will meet my needs.

 I am wanting a digital recorder which I can use to record meetings, etc. 
 It must:

 1. Be able to record in MP3 format up to at least 192 KBPS.

 2. Have the facility for recording to a line in socket as well as stereo 
 microphones.

 3. Have a headphone output for listening.  A separate line out would also 
 be an advantage.

 4. Be able to connect to a PC via an USB port, where the files appear in a 
 drive on the PC so that they can be copied using Windows
 Explorer in both directions.

 5. Have basic editing facilities, e.g. cut, copy and paste.

 6. Have at least 8 gig of storage.

 7. Have manual volume control (preferably with a peak limiter) as well as 
 automatic volume control.  With the automatic control, it
 should preferably have buffer ahead checking so that the volume can be 
 adjusted without distorting on loud sounds.

 8. Operate from mains power via a power pack or on batteries.

 9. And most important, be fully or close to fully accessible to a totally 
 blind person.

 Price is not really an issue.  If there isn't anything which exactly 
 satisfies my needs, but there is something which comes close,
 please let me know.

 Thanks,
 Barry Chapman

Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.

2008-09-20 Thread constantine (on laptop)
Hi

I spent 600 bucks for an ipod video 30 gb a while back. I also have a victor 
reader stream. Now, of course, ipods are totally overpriced compared with 
mainstream mp3 players. I don't know why, but a 2 gb ipod costs twice as 
much as a 4 gb regular mp3 player. The stream? I love the thing. I'll never 
be without it. It can do so much and its half the price of that ipod.

The ipod stil rules in terms of music playback, since I put rockbox on it (I 
recommend that to anyone, too, you can get a sandisc sansa mp3 player and 
they work darn good.)

The streams audio recording might be a bit bad, but who cares! It kills the 
book port and many other mp3 players I've used, and I don't think humanware 
put much work into it- and I mean that as a compliment. Humanware did such a 
great job on that thing that the stream is now my book port- I'll take it 
wherever I go. The ipod, too, because they both have there uses. I think now 
that this ipod might just be what us blind folks are looking for in the 
accessibility longterm- as long as apple keeps providing speech feedback, 
anyway. Maybe other mp3 player venders might start doing the same- afterall, 
think about it. Sited people could use the speech feedback to there 
advantage- while driving, while running, while working out at the gym.

 Is it possible that you tried the Stream's MP3 capabilities before they
 added independent bass and treble control for music? The Stream was
 designed first and foremost as a book reader, and its music capabilities
 are kind of a work in progress. You won't find a better player anywhere
 for Audible content, there are the NLS books (applicable for Americans
 only), its DAISY capabilities are second to none, and for something so
 small, the voice recorder feature is absolutely fantastic. It's not
 everyone's answer, of course, people have different needs depending on
 geography, lifestyle, and financial considerations, but it is one answer
 that has worked and does work for many.

 The problem I have with these devices is the same old 1 and that comes
 down to how much money you have.

 If you can't afford an Ipod Nano (and I accept that perhaps you can't)
 smile, then there are some other great alternatives out there and I
 mention this just to show that I'm not bias towards Apple Ipods in any
 way but what I do have a bias against are products which are so
 expensive in order that they be accessible, in other words products
 exclusively designed for the blind but that's another topic for
 another day smile.

 First, take a look at the Creative Zenstone line of players and (even
 better than that I'm told) take a look at some of the Sandisk players.

 Now if you want an Ipod that's perfectly accessible then perhaps you
 can take a look at one of the Shuffles, if you can use a CD player
 then you can certainly have a good shuffle.

 I'm not Jonathan, though I know he'll be able to offer you some great
 advice too. I can't recommend highly enough the Victor Reader
 Stream. It
 may be overkill for what you want, but it is small, easy to use, 100%
 accessible, and works very well with music, boks, podcasts, and the
 like. You can hook your thumb drive right into it if you want to,
 thoughthe best way to use it is with n SD card. Mine is 16GB. That's
 just one of many possibilities.


Re: another skype question

2008-09-09 Thread constantine (on laptop)
Hi,

Go into the view menu, hit up aro once or twice, when your screen reader 
says accessibility, hit enter on that. Make sure both of those boxes are 
checked (keyboard navigation and simplified graphics), and do the following 
to make sure your volume isn't low:

1. Go to the tools menu by hitting alt t.
2. Press p for options.
3. Go down once, you should hear audio options. Now tab twice until you hear 
microphone volume: 0 percent.
4. Hit right aro, or more acurately hold it down, jaws will stil say 0 
percent but it should be at 100.
5. Tab a few more times until you hear speaker volume. Again, hold down your 
right aro. By the way, this is a good time to mention it. If let skype 
control your audio is checked, it really does screw up your audio devices. 
So I recommend having this unchecked. (With my USB headset, it kept turning 
the microphone volume down so I kept getting frustrated until I finally 
realized). It really makes your system go bonkers, some of the time- but for 
some people can work wonders.

Now, tab over to save, and you should be good to go. Also be sure and check 
in sounds and audio devices to make sure your microphone isn't muted. Make 
sure its at 100 percent, too- I keep mine there. I'd rather people here me a 
bit too much than not at all.

Hope that helps

Hi,

If I'm not mistaken- yet I could be, because I don't use audible- there are 
different audible formats. If you want mp3, I believe its audible 4, but I 
have no idea what these other formats are- have you checked in audible

Hope that helps some.

 First, I wasn't sure which to download--Audible Download Manager or 
 Audible Manager--when purchasing my first book.  Not being sure I first 
 downloaded Audible Download Manager but found it confusing and wasn't sure 
 where in Media Player to find my file or how even to get into the player 
 itself.  So I downloaded Audible Manager, which is on desktop and it says 
 you can use its player or Windows Media.  Well I did get it to play with 
 the Audible player and I do like the way it continues from where you left 
 off when you re-open Audible Manager.  But I don't know the hot keys as 
 far as forwarding, rewinding and using volume on this player and wouldn't 
 mind help there.

 But what I'd also like help with is being able to somehow convert Audible 
 books into MP3's so they can be played in Winamp.  I know that somehow 
 they convert to small files and these files end in mid-sentence, but I do 
 prefer Winamp and am hoping someone can show me how to convert books to 
 MP3.

 Thanks.

Well, it could be a burner issue, some burners don't like burning a cd with

does it just fine. I picked up a newer lg one and tried it, with no luck, 
just to see if it could be a hardware issue, I'm using nero 8.

On another desktop, I tried it again, both burners work, but one on there is

 Hello again.

 Well I tried it the way you suggest and it didn't work but wait! there is 
 more.

 Nero put up an error message saying that in the current write mode some of 
 the audio properties are not supported by your burner.  It then said that 
 if I clicked ok it would adjust the properties to fit and that ment 
 reinserting the pauses between tracks.

 Is this totally a hardware issue?  Do I have to buy a different burner to 
 support no silence between tracks?

 Is it a mode setting such as an ISO cd versas something else?

 Do I absolutely have to use an audio blank in this case rather then a data 
 CD?

 Any light from you guru's out there?

 Thanks again in advance.

Subject: Problems creating an audio cd with Neero, a puzzler!

Well this sounds like a real novice question and thats ok but believe me 
its
not, or at least I don't think so.

I did some audio editing in Goldwave cutting sections from large audio 
files
and breaking them out to several small files.

I made sure each cut was trimmed nicely removing any silence at ends of 
both
files.
I then fired up Nero 6 to create the audio cd.

I encountered the following problems.

Here was my goal first of all.
You need this to understand the problem.

I wanted an audio cd that played every track automaticly with no silence 
or
gaps between tracks.

I checked the no gaps between tracks or however Nero says it on the
beginning screen.

That didn't work.

I then created another cd where I checked the same box but then went in to
the advanced controls and checked remove silence at end of cda trakcs and
even with both boxes checked it didn't work.

If I played track 1 I manually had to advance to track 2 it just wouldn't
play on its own unattended.

What is going wrong?

Is it a bug with my particular version of Nero?
Am I missing something, thats entirely possible?

I need to create an audio cd with tracks but where one track plays rapid
fire right after another as if there were no tracks.

Yes I could merge the files in to one file and burbn it that way but I
really wanted the track marks.

what am I doing wrong?

I need this for voice over demos and thats the way they want them these
days.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance.
