Re: Best portable mike mixer out there?
I was going to tell you the same thing, portable yesterday and today are two different things. I used to have some Bogan and Duquesne mixers that were the size of portable televisions, and they were mono. they were 90 watts. I don't think the young lady wants to tote anything like that. - Original Message - From: DJ DOCTOR P djdoct...@att.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2010 2:25 PM Subject: Re: Best portable mike mixer out there? High Garry, That is not really true. In the 1950's and 60's, some of them had to be portable. Sometimes, a PA system had to be sat up to address a small gathering of people. Like for instants, in schools sometimes in the class rooms. And also, some radio stations had to use them for remote broadcasting. But the amplifiers in them, put out no more then 20 to 70 watts of power. But that was just the mono mottles. The stereo mottles, had jacks on them that allowed you to hook up turntables and open real tape recorders. They put out a minimum of 70 to a maximum of 100 watts per channel. So you see, they had to be portable so that they could be carried from one place to another. However, the higher powered ones, weren't light wait. And the kinds of tubes that they used were either 7581's or 6550's. Some of them, used either 6P35's or 6CA7's. These were the kinds of power tubes they used. They all used either ECC83's or 12AX7's for preamp tubes. Some of them, used tubes like the 6DJ8 which is being called, the 6922 tube today. They also used the ECC99 which is being called, the 12BF7 tube today. There were some which are now being dubbed as odd tubes today being used in the preamps of those mixers. Tubes like the 6AU6 which is not being made anymore, and the EF86 tube. Personally, I don't see how could some of those PA systems could be called portable. I say this because, some of them are as big as 19 to 25 inch TV sets. My best regards.

I have purchased this programme but I'm having accessibility problems and the scripts won't install as I need JAWS 8 or above and I only have version 7. Anyhow, After purchasing Sound Taxi I played around on the net to see if there was a programme that would be easier to use. Unknown to me I seemed to have downloaded a programme called switch. I only discovered I had installed it when I went to play a music file and found on the file menu an option to convert this music file. I noticed also another new entry on the file menu, edit this file. also recorder. I have no idea how I managed to do this but when I activated each of these I had to download another component to activate them which I have done. I haven't had time to have a play with them yet, except the converting option. I tried to convert a protected file but it said it couldn't convert as it was protected but it was simple to go through the procedure including selecting the bit rate, right up to the convert button. On the face of it, they look easy to use with Jaws. You have all the normal options in the convert option as you do with Gold wave and in the edit option theirs all the normal stuff such as mix etc. This programme is free and I haven't paid a penny for it and there is no indication that I will have to in future. AS I said, I don't know where I got this. The program is called Switch plus and I suspect I got it when I downloaded a trial version of Tunebite. Tunebite is another programme like Sound Taxi for decoding DRM encoded music files. If I have time in the next day or so then I'll have another search to see where I got it and let you know or you can do a google search for switch music converter. If anyone finds it before I do, I would appreciate their posting what they find. That other programme I mentioned is Tunebite and the link is: http://tunebite.com/en/remove_drm/index.html. Walter.

I agree this would be a good idea, for you don't want sighted people thinking this is a radio for mostly blind people . if that happens, it doesn't sell and the merchandise disappears from store shelves pretty quickly. - Original Message - From: Gary Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008 1:02 PM Subject: Re: Fwd: Accessible Devices Opportunity To Have Input On TheDesign ofNewRadio That sounds like that would be a great idea! - Original Message - From: Chris Skarstad [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008 4:32 AM Subject: Re: Fwd: Accessible Devices Opportunity To Have Input On TheDesign of NewRadio Hi. I think what would be really cool is to have them build a radio, but instead of it being a specialized radio designed specifically for the blind, which is how this sounds, what they might be able to do is build it exactly like a regular radio ,but find some kind of a way to enable the accessibility features. These could be enabled and disabled at will, most likely through a button that is clearly marked on the radio itself or the remote, if it has one. This way, we wouldn't have to have sighted help, just to get to the features we need. so a blind person could use the unit just as readily as a sighted person could. If menus are involved, I would hope that some kind of audible clicks, or beeps, or even better, some kind of audible voice prompts could be used, making it easier to set the time on the clock, set up presets, tell what preset we're on, etc. I know a lot of radios and CD players are menu based nowadays.

I have partial vision and found that the stone works sort of like this. I say sort of, to cover my uncertainty, but this has been my experience: Hold zen plus so the flat screen faces you and is on the left side. On top left is an audio out jack. Bottom left is the USB connector. Top right has a rocker switch. Press this on its right side and hold it to turn it on. I'm not quite certain what pressing it on the left side does. I often found that, after not pressing buttons for a while, the first key press is merely a wake up call and does nothing, so keep that in mind. Now, facing you on the right is the more or less standard joy control, a circle with a button in its center. The center button brings up a menu. When this menu is active the right and left edges of the circle move thru things like file play, radio, recorder, and who knows what else. But the files play mode I believe is furthest left. When you think you have the mode you want, press the center button to confirm your choice. So, assuming you start playing files, press the center button, then press the right edge of the ring to move to radio, then press center again and the radio should be playing. Now use the left and right buttons, you know what I mean, to tune to the station you want. Experiment with this, because tapping gets different results from pressing and holding, I think. Now, to get back to playing files, press that center button. Remember, you might have to tap it twice because the first tap just says hello to the unit. Once it wakes up, press the left button and confirm with center. As for the other modes, I'm not going there. I only know that I've accidentally recorded my voice but cannot pin down how. I gave that unit to a sighted friend. I have the 2 gig model with a tiny speaker and 2 of the 1 gig zens, none of which have screens and are all friendlier to people not looking at a display.

Re: Goldwave Audio Editor
I suspect that if you had already purchased soundforge or something from Tracertech, you wouldn't necessarily even know anything about Goldwave. this is one of those programs the blind people brought to the forefront because of it's accessibility, and the developer's willingness to make it so. it would be like driving around in a Lamberdini and one day finding yourself having to get to and from with a Hugo. it gets most jobs done if you are willing to tweak it. if you are fortunate enough to have available plug-ins, they will most certainly work with goldwave. - Original Message - From: Dan Eickmeier [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 7:11 AM Subject: Re: Goldwave Audio Editor Hi Caroline, if you have other plugins, like ones from SoundForge for example, you could use them, instead of using one that has come with GW.

Okay, let me see if I can do a bit of a better job here. I start Gold Wave recording. Then I switch into Winamp, start my file, and sing my vocal.. Then I go in and trim the beginning and end off the vocal, since it's just typing sounds. Then I load the music track into Gold Wave. I copy the trimmed vocal track into the clipboard, and use control+m to mix it in with the music track. Preview really helps here because you can edit the precision of where you want it to start to within a thousandth of a second. When it's mixed, including volumes and so on, you save the track. This has the added benefit that you can add any effects to your voice (reverb, for example, I use the Freeverb plugin as it provides better reverb than Gold Wave's) before mixing the voice with the music, so you don't have to apply the effect to the background music as well.

Well of course I'm limited with wave forms. I think that's a problem with all such software. However, you do have built-in choices for the kind of noise that you want to reduce, and presets which allow you to work with the sound with what is quite honestly trial and error. However, the original sound is always saved, so you can mess around a bit without worrying. The kind of noise that I work with is surface noise from 78s, often with homemade recordings from back when people owned machines that recorded on 78s. I know the presets that I need for such recordings and apply them. When it comes to reducing cassette hiss, there are 4 different presets ranging from light to heavy handed and including everything in between which are clearly spoken and work extremely well with speech. You can also adjust those settings with your own variations and save them, much as you can in GoldWave. I also use Dc6 a lot for recording. It's quick and simple to set up. And if you screw up the recoring somehow and want to start over, you just hit altF4 and the program prompts you with speech, asking if you want to delete the current recording. As I said, fast, easy and painless. For recording ease alone the app is worth it to me. Now, as a Sound Forge user, can you tell me how to go about reducing vinyl pops clicks and other anomalies using Sound Forge? It's probably me, but I'm not getting it. All i see is a choice that calls itself audio restoration and offers 2 different choices for restoring. By the way, I have Window-eyes 6.1 and Jaws 8. Would scripts help?

I heard from a tech support rep at Freedom Scientific today. He affirms that, as far as he knows, SilverLight is not accessible to JAWS. In fact, the program might have been developed specifically so that only a mouse could invoke the SilverLight player. (Thanks again for your sensitivity to access issues, Microsoft!) When I tried the silverlight thing, I was told something about doing maintenance and to try later which didn't make sense at the time when I wanted to listen to a live ball game. Gary, I got that same message after switching from the SilverLight player to the classic media player and trying to listen to a game this past Friday. However, today I received some positive results: I loaded the GameDay Audio page, chose a feed I wanted to hear, logged in with my password, and realized that Internet Explorer had remembered my preference for the classic media player. I didn't have to select it again. And after getting past the security prompts, the game played just fine and with much better and more consistent audio quality than I had remembered from 2007. somehow I thought that I may have clicked on the TV feed by accident. During spring training, interestingly enough, some of those TV feeds actually are viewable by those who haven't paid the $14.99/month--or whatever it is--to watch the live TV games. MLB.com makes those available to us as a promotional thing, of course, so that people who benefit from the visuals will buy the MLB video package. You probably know that you can opt for a certain home team or road team audio feed just by clicking on the name of the flagship station where the program airs in the radio world. For instance, I caught part of the St. Louis-Washington game earlier today and was able to go straight to it by clicking on the link labeled WWWT, which is the name of the Washington Nationals' flagship station this season. Usually the video feeds, while not named after a station, are named by the type or speed of the Web stream: such as 750K or 400K. Happy listening.

I've run MLB's GameDay Audio on a PC for ten years now. Just this year, I've discovered that MLB tends now to play most of its multimedia content inside a Microsoft SilverLight frame--somewhat somilar to an Adobe Flash Player frame, except it's Microsoft's proprietary flash player. Even on a PC, this causes lots of problems if one is totally without eyesight and running a screen reader, because JAWS does not seem to recognize or allow me to invoke any of the buttons inside of the SilverLight frame with the keyboard. I've brought up this issue on the PC Audio Discussion List previously, and I've presented it to JAWS Tech Support too. No answer as yet. You do have the option sometimes to make MLB's site honor your preference of going back to their classic media player, which seems to be just Windows Media Player running inside a separate IE window. This works as long as MLB's multimedia sites are up and runnning. All this might cause a problem with Braille Sense. But since I've not used a Braille Sense before, I regr3ettably can't help you there. -Kane Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well in my view, the software would still be an absolute bargain, GoldWave and Amadeus Pro are advertised as audio editors and where does it say anywhere that Noise reduction has to be part of an audio editor? As I and others have said before, the great thing about Goldwave, Amadeus Pro, Sound Forge, Total Recorder, Sonar and others is that you can use other plug-ins with the product so if you don't like what Goldwave has to offer in the form of Noise Reduction, Graphic EQ or whatever then by all means! by a third party plug-in to solve the problem and (strange as it may seem) if you buy Goldwave then you certainly are given a lot of change to purchase other plug-ins smile. I myself use a lot of Third Party plug-ins, I used them with Sound Gorge but now I'll most likely be using them with Goldwave as I found them to be far more accessible with a screen reader, I detailed them before some time ago on this list, a whole heap of equalisers, filters, flangers, echo units, compressors and the like which (once again) are absolutely compatible with anything which will handle direx plug-ins.

I don't suppose it will improve the quality but will it maintain it? (I'm kind of assuming that as Sound Taxi re-records the file that it re-compresses it.) When 320 is claimed by Sound Taxi to be 'Perfect' would it be as good as using the wav conversion? Finally would I just be best to use the wav conversion of the files to maintain the original standard? The answer's probably obvious but I just wanted clarification in order to keep the files at the best possible quality. Thanks.

Re: Goldwave Audio Editor
Dc 6 is a program sold by a company by the name of Tracertek. they sell all kinds of audio restoration products. the actual name of the program is Diamond Cut 6. they have a newer version out now. they also have a new program out now which I don't recall the name of, but for $59.00 US dollars you can do vinyl or cassette tape to compact disc projects. you can clean up files and work on them at any time or there is a wizard that walks you through the steps from hooking up the turntable to turning out the finished disc. I'll bet the noise reduction works much better with this program than does goldwaves noise reduction.

I agree with yu on this one, leave the noise in the file if you have nothing but the goldwave filter. let's get the developer to work on his noise filter so we don't have to use other third party plug-ins that do a superior job in comparison.I want you Bruce to quit saying how well the damn thing works and provide me with an example and we shall let it go at that. don't continue to tell people in so many words they don't know what they are doing give demonstrations, because you are not going to convince me the filter works otherwise. don't brag, just produce fact. - Original Message - From: Bruce Toews [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 9:32 AM Subject: Re: Goldwave Audio Editor I've had very good success using the noiseprint filter to remove air conditioning noises and so on using Gold Wave.

Gary, did you try this on your Braille Sense? I'm curious to see whether this will work on a Braille Sense, BrailleNote, PAC Mate, or (alternatively) an Icon. I haven't yet obtained one of these devices, but plan to do so rather soon. It would be fun to have portable access to MLB's media player through a wifi connection in the house. everything is back to normal now. the only thing worth mentioning is I lost my feed when browsing to another site on the internet. I was looking at some podcasts and my window disappeared, thus my audio was gone. This does happen sometimes. But I've not found that the MLB player window is highly unstable. It usually stays with me as long as I want it. When the ball clubs do webcasts, I wish the audio wouldn't sound so damn cheap. I guess that's why we pay around $15 for the entire season of just audio feeds, while those who want the television feed pay nearly $15 each month. There is a bandwidth difference. To be fair, the reason why some of these audio feeds sound as though they were filtered or as though they went through a bad phone line, is because that is reflective of how the signal is fed into the radio stations carrying the games. Even on HD radio, I doubt that you're getting CD-quality sound from the ballparks. Most stations probably believe this is unnecessary, since MLB over-the-air broadcasts usually are aired on low-wattage talk or sports talk AM stations any more, not on great clear channel stations and certainly not on FM stereo stations. I think this year's audio feeds from MLB.com are better than last year's. You gave a nice description of the various broadcast links. Thanks. I did this in case someone else on the list has an issue with GameDay Audio in the future. One other thing to keep in mind: MLB.com does not use the exact same media playing protocols for all feeds. For example, there's no way to play archived daily fast casts or videos (as of interviews that were done for MLB Radio) if you're using JAWS. You can get to these interview or headline feeds, but because they're all offered only using the SilverLight flash player, we as blind users have no way to activate those feeds' PLAY mechanism. Fortunately, it is possible for us to receive live or archived audio feeds of games, because even though these are offered to us in SilverLight to start with, you can switch to original media player. It also is possible always to listen to the audio feed of Baseball Channel.TV, which airs programs such as Staying Hot and Fantasy 411. This apparently doesn't stream by default in SilverLight. One more final, final note: If you delete your cookies in Internet Explorer, as I had to do yesterday for an unrelated reason, you'll have to opt for the original media player again next time you turn on a game feed. As long as you don't delete cookies, you'll not have to make that selection each time; GameDay Audio will default to the original media player setting -Kane - Original Message - From: Kane Brolin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 5:40 PM Subject: Re: MLB game day audio and BrailleSense On 3/2/08, Gary G Schindler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am glad you brought up the silver lite thing. somehow I was able to go back and choose the classic media player.

Well of course I'm limited with wave forms. I think that's a problem with all such software. However, you do have built-in choices for the kind of noise that you want to reduce, and presets which allow you to work with the sound with what is quite honestly trial and error. However, the original sound is always saved, so you can mess around a bit without worrying. The kind of noise that I work with is surface noise from 78s, often with homemade recordings from back when people owned machines that recorded on 78s. I know the presets that I need for such recordings and apply them. When it comes to reducing cassette hiss, there are 4 different presets ranging from light to heavy handed and including everything in between which are clearly spoken and work extremely well with speech. You can also adjust those settings with your own variations and save them, much as you can in GoldWave. I also use Dc6 a lot for recording. It's quick and simple to set up. And if you screw up the recoring somehow and want to start over, you just hit altF4 and the program prompts you with speech, asking if you want to delete the current recording. As I said, fast, easy and painless. For recording ease alone the app is worth it to me. Now, as a Sound Forge user, can you tell me how to go about reducing vinyl pops clicks and other anomalies using Sound Forge? It's probably me, but I'm not getting it. All i see is a choice that calls itself audio restoration and offers 2 different choices for restoring. By the way, I have Window-eyes 6.1 and Jaws 8. Would scripts help? If so, where do I get them and what in the world do I do with them once I have them?

Re: Goldwave Audio Editor
Bruce, ease of use with respect to manipulating markers how one moves around within the audio file, the speed with which deletions, cuts and pastes take place, good quality noise reduction, non destructive editing and so on. goldwave is pretty darn good for most things for the average guy except for the noise reduction. I think it's best feature is the cross fading. goldwave will certainly get the job done most of the time. I believe a good program should stand on it's own merit, less dependent on third party applications to make it work better. you shouldn't have to spend more money on a piece of software like goldwave to bolster it. that to me is what I like in a professional audio production software we'll make a soundforge lover out of you yet. - Original Message - From: Bruce Toews [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 2:41 PM Subject: Re: Goldwave Audio Editor I know I'm going to regret this, but what makes an editor a professional one in your personal opinion?

Yes ok, Amadeus Pro at $40.00 has some really excellent noise reduction stuff which is comparible to the competition but even supposing Amadeus Pro didn't have these excellent noise removal tools? Well in my view, the software would still be an absolute bargain, GoldWave and Amadeus Pro are advertised as audio editors and where does it say anywhere that Noise reduction has to be part of an audio editor? As I and others have said before, the great thing about Goldwave, Amadeus Pro, Sound Forge, Total Recorder, Sonar and others is that you can use other plug-ins with the product so if you don't like what Goldwave has to offer in the form of Noise Reduction, Graphic EQ or whatever then by all means! by a third party plug-in to solve the problem and (strange as it may seem) if you buy Goldwave then you certainly are given a lot of change to purchase other plug-ins smile. I myself use a lot of Third Party plug-ins, I used them with Sound Gorge but now I'll most likely be using them with Goldwave as I found them to be far more accessible with a screen reader, I detailed them before some time ago on this list, a whole heap of equalisers, filters, flangers, echo units, compressors and the like which (once again) are absolutely compatible with anything which will handle direx plug-ins.

You're playing or skimming through a track and you hear a pop, crackle or such like? Stop the playback immediately after you hear the noise and press p, this makes a selection round the noise and you can press shift-P to play back the noise as though it were pencilled out, if you don't like it then press command-z to undo what you've done, adjust further settings in preferences so how neat is that?

I've run MLB's GameDay Audio on a PC for ten years now. Just this year, I've discovered that MLB tends now to play most of its multimedia content inside a Microsoft SilverLight frame--somewhat somilar to an Adobe Flash Player frame, except it's Microsoft's proprietary flash player. Even on a PC, this causes lots of problems if one is totally without eyesight and running a screen reader, because JAWS does not seem to recognize or allow me to invoke any of the buttons inside of the SilverLight frame with the keyboard. I've brought up this issue on the PC Audio Discussion List previously, and I've presented it to JAWS Tech Support too. No answer as yet. You do have the option sometimes to make MLB's site honor your preference of going back to their classic media player, which seems to be just Windows Media Player running inside a separate IE window. This works as long as MLB's multimedia sites are up and runnning. All this might cause a problem with Braille Sense.

I hope this is not a stupid question. - Original Message - From: Peter Bentley [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 9:20 AM Subject: Nero Hello all I am a new member to the list and a recent user of Nero and ripping generally. Presently I am using Nero 8 I am aware that when tracks are ripped and saved to the hard disk the track titles can be drawn down from the net. As long as Nero is running these track names are available and read when the files are viewed in Windows Explorer. However, when Nero is unloaded the track names revert back to 01.mp3 02.mp3 etc. Is there a way within Nero of automatically changing the actual file names to the track titles or does this have to be done manually to each track using normal editing techniques. Any help will be much appreciated. Peter Bentley I have looked at John Wilson's tutorial but it does not seem to cover this but I may be mistaken. Any help much appreciated.

Re: Mp3 player/recorder with line in?
people used to use many of the Iriver player-recorders.

I know of the PlexTalk, and I think MileStone311 also can do this, but I was hoping to find something a bit less expensive. Perhaps the Edirol R9 may also do this, I'm not sure, but that comes with a price too. He has a Creative Moovo, I think he said, It does what he wants, but you must crawl thru a dozen menus to do it.

Ok (as surprising as this may sound to a lot of people) I'm a novice with the PC technology (or trashbox as I prefer to call it smile.) these days so I'd appreciate some input from other list members here. I've spoken about my DAT and I intend to get the digital converter that someone on this list kindly gave me the name of, I found it still in stock in some of the shops here so I've placed an order. The discussion has also prompted me to look at a new sound device for the Trashbox, I've used (up until now) SB Live cards, the Realtek ac97 built-in sound device on the Mother Board of the Trashbox and the Imic sound devices, all have performed to my expectations but now however, well I'm stepping into unfamiliar teritory as I want to purchase a sound card with digital i/o capabilities but on the other hand I want it to be as accessible with speech as is practical, I'm told that many of the new sound devices on the market have volume controls which differ from the standard windows volume controls, is this correct? I briefly looked at the catalogue displayed by my local computer store on the net http://www.istore.com.au and looked at the Creative brand, there's no shortage of sound devices there it would seem but which one to buy? Should I in fact steer clear of Creative completely and go for something else? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. As a footnote to this, my Trashbox is approaching its fifth birthday so I'm wanting something which will be compatible with my current Trashbox and will be compatible with a new Trashbox which I plan to purchase in about 6 months all being well. Of course! if the device should be compatible with the Mac then that's a bonus but that's something that I don't class as a priority.

Re: Napster question
you shall have to download the napster software to play and purchase music. I haven't fooled with it lately, so can't comment on how accessible it is at this time. - Original Message - From: Larry N [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 6:57 PM Subject: Napster question Hi. A few days ago someone posted a message stating that to use Napster with a screen reader, it was necessary to access using their web based interface. Since I'm considering giving napster a try among other services, I have a couple of questions. First, if I'm downloading from a web based interface rather than using their software, is there still something that I need to download as a subscriber in order to download files? Second, When accessing on the web can one do everything that other users accomplish with downloaded software? These may sound like beginner questions but my only recent downloading experience is with Emusic. Very easy to use and super reliable, but their selection, though interesting, eclectic and with some excellent choices also has a ton of gaps when it comes to many major artists. So I'm looking around. No problem paying a bit. I just want it to work.

You spray a liquid on the CD or DVD and place it in the device which buffs the plastic surface. Then you dry it and polish it with the included cloths. I haven't used one, and so I can't recommend it. You can read the reviews and decide for yourself if its worth $50. It might be cheaper to replace the CDs.

Re: converting text to daisy format
I don't know how well a text file would convert to daisy format. you would have to convert it to an html document. you could make an MP3 of the text, but you would have to have several little MP3 files to correspond with the headings in the html file. then you have to write or make a smil file so the MP3 and html file are synced. there is another file that has to go in the folder, another html file but with a different extension which I can't remember what it is. if you had the proper html file, you could simply rename it with the save as in an html editor I believe by putting the proper extension in the filename. everything would have to be placed in the same folder. there may be a daisy generator available, but I don't know how it would work. - Original Message - From: Dan Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 12:47 PM Subject: Re: converting text to daisy format When I put a txt file on a sd caard in the victor reader stream, I can't jump from one chapter/section without first moving to the end of a chapter and puting my own bookmark in.
