Some Questions About Ripping And Tagging Files
Hello All! I am attempting to rip and tag files for air play on a couple of Internet radio stations. I have permission from the producers of this local , which will be marketed through ITunes and Amazon.com, and is also available on a website with so-so accessibility to the cd store. I am running a Fujitsu C1410 laptop computer with Windows Service Pack Three. I have tried both Exact Audio Copy and a beta of CDEx, and I have a few questions. They have me stymied at the moment but I am sure with a little clarification I will be able to rip my first cd and send the files legally to the stations I have in mind. Now, my questions: First, with regard to Exact Audio Copy: is it necessary to copy and burn files to a cd? I really would prefer to have them on my hard drive, as I already own a legal copy of the cd in question. Second, in both programs as I attempt to label the files with the correct audio tags I am asked to enter numbers or integers. I am not sure what numbers or where. I Do not have the ISRT numbers available to me, and as these files are going to be aired on not-for-profit streams where nothing is sold it is my understanding that this information isn't needed. The producers are going to be selling this album on ITunes and Amazon so they have the correct information. Do I need this? What do they want, and how can I edit the title and track information such that it no longer reads only track number and file information? I have all the titles, and this cd is not yet available in any of the databases, having been released less than three weeks ago, June 11th, to be exact. I am also wondering whether I have the correct Beta version, CDEX 1.70 Beta Two which has a release date of January 4, 2009. In the documentation for CDEX 1.70 Beta Two there is information regarding the possible need to install additional drivers. Is it possible that I need to install these? Finally, I have Window-Eyes 7.0, JAWS 10.0, and System Access. Is there any one of these apps that might give more accessibility? I will keep working on this but would appreciate any information on the program, especially these issues that don't seem to be easy to find in the help, at least not for this person who gets more out of verbal explanation. sigh Thanks very much in advance.

RE: Some Questions About Ripping And Tagging Files
I definitely want a quality recording. Is there a way to avoid having to burn a cd? What integer numbers could they be asking for in both programs as I am attempting to number the tracks? The people who will be using these recordings want MP3 recordings. If I burned with FLAC would that not be too large a recording for their purposes?

It is used by both legal and non-legal music release groups to rip music, as its quality cannot be beaton. The focus is not, therefore, always on userbility, but on functionality. CDex is the oppositte. Its not very widely regarded as being very good at ripping, however this is slightly untrue. CDex is no way as good as EAC, but its acceptable. In short, if you are ripping a CD, and you know exactly what quality settings, what drive settings to use, and other such advanced settings, then go for EAC. Setup your compression, select all the tracks on the CD, then use the copy selected trakcscompressed option. You can tag them later on. If you aren't concerned with fantastic output, and getting the absolute most out of your rip, go with CDex. The upside to CDex is that you can pretty much put a CD in the drive, run it and rip.

A Question About Audio Tagging Software, Probably For Someone Who Is Working In A Commercial Setting
I am friendly with the members of a local trio who have just released their own instrumental cd. I want to upload it legally to the Internet services I know, and have permission to do it. The leader told me that they are going to be putting it on ITunes and there is software which will embed the SIRT number into the files so they are automatically tagged and can be purchased on those sites that are configured for that. I'm wondering if any of this software is accessible? Of course I don't have to go that far but it would be nice if I could help make the music available in more locations. I'll be interested in any experience listers may have had with this aspect of audio tagging and compliance. As always, thanks in advance.

An Observation About Giveawayoftheday.com
Too bad the giveaway today is not the Gold Wave we know; but I must say the download and installation went flawlessly.

Here's an old message that appeared on Blindtech about the original machine. I stress that this message refers to the original unit, so I agree we'll have to wait to see if the player itself is any more accessible than the original which, according to this message, concentrates on giving the illusion of reading a hard copy book. The fact the last person who posted info on this saw only information about speech output and references to flipping pages, and nothing about access to the unit by the blind, I'd tend to doubt it has anything more than the Stream has to recommend it for us; but it will be interesting to see if I am proven right or wrong.

It is an Audible-ready device and will play mp3 files, but if one is going to spend the price of a Kindle then the VR Stream is in the price range and would provide significantly more usability to a blind person. The VR Stream is also Audible-ready and plays mp3 files as well as ogg vorbis and unprotected WMA files. More importantly, it has TTS to speak the menus and navigate the files. The Kindle was primarily designed to be an E-text reader and that's where its strength and popularity lies. I'm told by sighted folks that have seen or own a Kindle that the screen really does give the person the feeling that they are reading a printed book. I understand it has the largest screen of any of the current E-text readers and that it really does an amazing job of looking like a printed page rather than an electronic screen. But that superior technology does nothing for a blind person. If you just want a device to listen to audiobooks, then there are many other much, much less expensive options available. Now, if you have some usable vision and want to be able to read printed material, then perhaps the Kindle would be a device worth looking at just for the reasons I stated above: It has one of the largest screens and has been designed to be very easy on the eyes. I also understand its font enlargement capability is very good too. Hope this helps.

RE: Sound taxi and Audible
Don and All, Please forgive if this has been answered before. You may not be able to convert the file unless you do the conversion on the same computer on which the file was originally downloaded. In other words, I tried converting a file sent to me by Dave, and it would not convert. When I downloaded the same file, then ran Sound Taxi on the same computer the file converted without a problem. I believe the program looks for the relationship, or ownership of the .drm key. I suspect that's the way the company tries to make sure that files are converted only by those who own them, or purchased them, or borrowed them.

Ok, this is going to be a two-parter. Where's the best place to download the latest Winamp? I went to Winamp.com, but could not tell whether the program was loading with either Window-Eyes or JAWS. I haven't upgraded in a while on my desktop computer. Second, there used to be a way to display the url for the last stream played in Winamp but I can't make it appear.

WMKV's Computer Talk: Was RE: Addendum To My Request For Help With WMKV Podcast On ITunes
-Mike Yes indeed, there are many who might like this show. It was started as a non-threatening computer forum for seniors, and has developed to the point where the word Senior has been omitted from the title. They cover just about everything under the sun in computer technology, and they are always interested in access issues. I may have to subscribe, and just keep watch on my hard drive. grin I've also asked the ITunes users on SAMobile, and so far I haven't gotten any responses so perhaps getting individual podcasts is just that much of an issue. In fact, I did subscribe, then unsubscribed. I will re-subscribe and see if perhaps the individual shows are more visible then.

No one, to this point, has offered a workable perfect solution -- it is hit and miss. What I would suggest doing -- and this is what I have done -- is to subscribe to Computer Talk's podcast even though I may listen to the show live upon occasion. The best solution would beif you could use another podcatcher, but, in this instance, iTunes is the only way to grab this particular show. It's a really neat show, incidentally folks, and worth a listen from 1 to 2 pm Eastern Tuesdays on WMKV Reading, OH (suburban Cincinnati) which can be found through a number of radio station streaming databases.

Audio advice for main system: I See More Backgaround Is Needed
This is Pam, Dave's other half. The situation with the stereos is this: One my unit that I brought to the relationship has quit functioning entirely. The other which is Dave's has not received stereo on the radio tuner for several years, with the problem starting a couple of years after the warranty ran out. They are both, as Dave said, now very old, one probably 25 years and the other about fourteen. We don't see the benefit in trying to repair them; and the one without a functioning stereo option in the tuner is really disappointing. The speakers are what are in fine shape; as a matter of fact we have two pairs of speakers. In other words, we really think it's time to switch. sigh Ok, I hope that clarifies things a bit.

RE: Recording quality of victor reader xtreme
To amplify on what has been discussed thus far, I can add my own agreement. Ray has given us a fine sample of a lecture recorded under less than ideal conditions. I can say from personal experience that the Stream has made perfectly adequate recordings of the private Pilates and physical therapy sessions I have recorded for use at home. True, the class is private so the instructor and I are working at very close range, but there are times when I may move away from the Stream, forgetting to pick it up in this large studio, and there may be other small groups working nearby, and there is absolutely no problem following the instructions later. Also, I recorded some committee dinner meetings in which we were working on publicity for a fine Australian guitarist visiting Visalia. The conversation was often quite animated, and again, I was able to later extract the information I needed quite easily. What the Stream did not record well was a song or two from the rehearsal by the opening band immediately after the meeting. I did not expect it to record music well, but decided to let it go just to see what would happen. The rehearsal was in the next room in the single-family home, and the music was over-modulated and distorted. Had I used my Edirol R9 or Dave's Olympus DS50 the quality would certainly have been most adequate for an on-the-fly recording. We have used those machines for recording music in party settings. But remember, music wasn't what we were after, nor is the person seeking to record a lecture, so I must totally agree with the positive assessments here.

Mike, Yes, the show is a very fine one. The topics are varied, and some shows are of more interest than others.

Old Time Radio And Computer TAlk Show On Itunes
For anyone interested, WMKVFM radio in Reading, Ohio makes available its four-hour weekly OTR program The Big Broadcast available free from the Itunes Store. They also have a weekly talk and information show called Computer Talk. This show is aired Tuesday afternoons at 1:00 PM on their local frequency of 89.3KHZ, streams it on wmkv.org, and also makes it available free in the Itunes Store. They cover just about every facet of computers with an emphasis on making information available in a simple, easy-to-understand way for beginners. It was originally known as Senior Computer Talk, but the audience is comprised of people of all ages so the name was shortened. WMKV is a publicly sponsored station on the campus of Maple Knoll Communities, a retirement community in Springfield, Ohio, with their transmitter in Reading. These are suburbs of Cincinnati. Their programming is largely geared to seniors, but Computer Talk and The Big Broadcast, as well as other programs, have listeners of all ages. Enjoy!

Good thoughts, Mike. I still want a little more control, especially when there's the possibility I may already have heard whatever the presentation might be live. I have enough trouble remembering to visit mailboxes into which I have filtered mail, and if things are too automatic I may forget. In other words, organization is not my strong suit. smile So is there no way to collect items on demand from Itunes? Especially with a certain program, WMKV Computer Talk from WMKV in Cincinnati, I try to catch it live and phone in when I can. I can record the repeat broadcasts with Replay A/V if I want, but a number of months worth of presentations have been uploaded to the Itunes store and are available free. I might want to pick and choose, grabbing only those I haven't heard. It seems there was a program called Golden Ears which allowed podcasts to be downloaded on demand and listened to immediately. It was an option, not the whole premise of the program. I was hoping there'd be some flexibility with Itunes. Just my thoughts.

My old Optie isn't as sharp as it was but maybe I'll try it myself too. This person does discuss her chosen settings.

Gary, since you mentioned this in your post I wonder if you or someone could give me a description of how to delete files.

I'd like to have a little experience with that aspect of things before we leave this coming Saturday. Steve, if you could send me the info on the rechargeable pack I'd appreciate it. I downloaded several of the podcasts from blind Cool Tech but don't remember any actual demos of file deletion. I can't remember the date of the last file I downloaded but I wonder if there is there any program I'm missing and should pick up? Has there been anything on the subject uploaded within the past four weeks or so; just a guess. I believe I downloaded five or six presentations. Are there other sources for tutorials I can download quickly? Thanks in advance to all for any help you may be able to give me.

Windows Media Player No Longer Works On My Desktop PC
Please forgive the cross-post; but this one really has me stumped. Saturday I closed Windows Media Player 10 on my desktop PC compatible running Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2 on a broadband DSL connection. Later that day I attempted to play another stream which launches WMP again and I received an error saying it could not play the selected media type. I tried launching another stream with the same result. I looked in the error information center and then went to check file `types and settings. I did discover that the use proxy server box was checked. I certainly hadn't recalled checking it but I unchecked it. Still nothing. I decided to try playing a stream through ACB Radio's Media Player setup; and it actually played, but the stream stopped and started. As I write this I'm wondering if that's because I unchecked the proxy box. I usually play it through Winamp but have played through Media Player and decided this would be a test. Later I closed out the WMP stream and reconnected with Winamp with no dropouts. Yesterday I decided to try re-installing WMP10. I un-installed it, allowed the rollback to Series 9 to take place, and re-installed 10. Wouldn't play. In desperation I decided to go back to 9 temporarily so I could at least listen to a stream I wanted to hear at the time. I let the rollback happen, tried to launch a stream, and once again nothing. I had been having trouble with a particular stream wherein it either lost a lot of packets or, once that seemed under control, it suddenly developed a sound like an off-frequency AM radio station. I don't see how either of these issues would have had anything to do with WMP itself, but thought I would mention it just in case someone sees a connection I don't. I also noticed an application in Control Panel called Windows Media Connect or something like that, but when I thought I'd try un-installing it to see if there were any difference the warning said that other programs might be affected. The programs it mentioned didn't make sense to me, JAWS video intercept for example, but I didn't want to take a chance of further messing things up and so didn't install it. This must have come through as a Windows Update because it's one I don't remember seeing before. Also, add/remove programs listed it is frequently used, then showed a last used date of May 20. Go figure if you can, and if you can, please explain this one to me. puzzled smile We like several streams which use WMP, so this is really frustrating. I wonder if anyone has any ideas what I might try next. As Always, any help would be appreciated.

A Particular Windows Media Stream Is Giving Me Fits!
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions about the following: One of my favorite streams is the Internet feed of The Music Of Your Life at www.musicofyourlife.com. This stream uses the Sonic Tuner. I'm running Windows XP Professional, sp2 and the problem occurs whether using Window-Eyes or JAWS. I warn you in advance that my musical tastes tend to be somewhat retro so if you go over there please don't pick on me too much. lol lol For several weeks I have been unable to listen to this stream for more than a few minutes without numerous dropouts. Yes, I am familiar with Internet traffic, but this condition is chronic! I do notice that if I go in with the W/E cursor, which seems to give me more info than the JAWS cursor for this stream, the percentage of buffering sometimes rises and falls, and sometimes the music just plain never starts. Once in a while the stream may even play for a few hours but eventually the connection is lost. When it is playing there is often a lot of packet loss, with some songs and commercials either skipping or being almost totally lost. I can switch to another stream that uses Media Player and it plays just fine. I have tried raising buffering time but can't find any way in MP10 to buffer beyond 60 seconds. I used to use a 120 second buffer for difficult streams in earlier versions of WMP. I know they had problems with their stream a few weeks ago but the problems were either over-modulation or garbled sound, kind of like a badly off-tuned A.M. receiver on a crowded band. That's the best I can come up as an explanation. Still, the bad quality streams played. I have written to the Music Of Your Life contact address but this situation has not been addressed so far, though they did thank me when I reported the poor quality reception and let me know when the stream was fixed. I wonder if there is any way I can tweak Media Player to get a better connection. Also, I wonder what some of these values mean that are shown as the stream in Sonic Tuner is launched. set volume=10, set volume=20, etc., for example. Is there any adjustment I might make within Sonic Tuner? If anyone has any thoughts please let me know. As always, thanks in advance.

FW: Times/Delta Article On Independent Voting: 06062006
vote would have made no difference to the outcome, I voted in opposition to my belief. Pam chose not to vote at all on that issue. In subsequent years, we have completed absentee ballots, initially with the help of a dear friend, now deceased and more recently we've gone to the elections office to complete this process. But as of June 6, those methods have, at least for most elections, been consigned to the history books thanks to the federal Help America Vote act and to modern technology. On May 30, one week before the election, we went to the Office of Elections and were given a thorough demonstration of the machine. A simulated ballot was presented, depicting a primary election and listing names of signers of the Declaration Of Independence. After voting for one candidate on the ballot, Pam wrote herself in as a candidate for President of the United States, bypassing Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. The exercise demonstrated not only our ability to cast a private ballot, but also to write in the name of a candidate should the need arise. How it works: Each polling place will have one electronic touch screen terminal, along with the traditional ballots. This terminal can be operated via the touch screen or push button panel, depending on one's needs. Anyone may request and cast an electronic ballot. For our purposes as blind voters, a little box resembling a VCR's remote control is attached to the terminal. With the press of a button, vocal descriptions of the ballot's choices are presented to the voter via an earphone. The screen is blank during the process. Left and right arrows, along with a select button allow us to move through the ballot making and reviewing our selections, and ultimately confirming our desired choices before officially casting the ballot. The electronic ballots are stored in memory for counting later. Additionally, there is a paper readout available for hand counting, in the event of a recount. It is our hope that this is the beginning of a new era. As active members of our community, we look forward to it. David McElroy and Pam Drake made Tulare County history on Tuesday as the first blind people in the county to cast their ballots on Election Day at a polling place without The assistance of another party. They live in Visalia.

Hello, I hope this is not a repeat of some one else's findings. I didn't find any further messages in the Outlook conversation but by this time you may have already found the answer to your question.

Btw, I'm going to save this message with the url. There are a lot of intresting sites. I am wondering whether the WCBSstreams are still active.

These are only a few of the many features you will find in this outstanding new client which we invite you to come try for yourself. Our congratulations and appreciation go out to Barry Jennings, designer and developer of Vip Communicator without whose ingenuity, skill and generosity this would not have been possible.

Nero Version 5.0
We have Nero Version 5.0 installed on our computers. We really haven't done much recording, but Friday I needed to make copies of a file and used the program. It was easier than I thought. I recorded the cds from a file on my hard drive. Yesterday I tried recording the exact same file and had trouble. I tried burning disks from the file I had made on Friday but couldn't seem to get it working. I finally copied one of the disks and that worked, but it was difficult. I couldn't remember what I had done Friday; it was all hunt and peck so to speak. I still need to burn two more disks of my file. During the process of recording I ended up with two disks which just wouldn't play after I believed I had recorded on them. I remembered seeing an option in the burn menu to test a disk without burning it. I wanted to test the two disks to determine whether they were bad or whether I was doing something wrong; but couldn't find that option. Are there any tutorials about Nero 5.0? Would it be better to upgrade, although we aren't really doing a lot of recording, at least for now. Finally, if someone would be willing to contact me with some suggestions, maybe even off list, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Please excuse if this is a duplicate. That Autoplay Again
Well, at least it's not asking me to insert a disk in a drive I'm not interested in in the first place; but that little bugger is back, popping up several times in several minutes. When it does, it cuts me off as I'm writing and causes all keys not to register. This of course means I have to go back and fix errors. I noticed some discussion about autoplay. I think Sharon wanted to enable it. I really don't need my cd's starting automatically there are times when I have to hold the shift key to prevent launch. Should I disable this bugger permanently? Maybe that would solve my problem once and for all and I can feel free to upgrade my Winamp again. Autoplay was totally obnoxious for a time and I ended up having to roll back to a previous Winamp.

Sad News About A List Member
To anyone who knew him and/or followed his posts: I received word early tonight that Ray Slayton, [EMAIL PROTECTED], died suddenly and unexpectedly this morning of an apparent heart attack. I am not sure whether he was a member of blindtech or to what other lists he belonged, but he was a frequent contributor to pc-audio. Ray had been, according to family friends, the picture of health. Though like so many of us he was a night owl, his wife was shocked to find that around noon he had not yet awakened. She called 911 and he was pronounced dead at his home. I have no further details, but anyone who is interested in future arrangements may write me off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will let you know as soon as I receive the info. I have been in touch with Jonathan and wish to thank him for removing Ray's address from any lists to which he may be subscribed. Thank you; and please remember Ray in your thoughts and prayers, or in whatever manner your spiritual convictions dictate.

Winamp Equalizer: How To Change
Well, I never thought I'd need this info because I haven't had trouble playing any files. Today I received a disk in the mail containing a tutorial. I launched a section of the tutorial in Winamp and found the quality very muffled and almost unlistenable. I wonder if the disk is defective or if I should try working with the equalizer? I tried opening the file in Windows Media Player; but it started in Winamp again. This is no surprise because Winamp is my default player; but now I want to try Media Player, at least for this disk. I don't want to change the default. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. I'd hate to have to send the disk back, but it really is poor, at least on my computer.

Play List Popping Up With The Dreaded No Disk In Drive Message.
I have noticed a re-appearance of the dreaded no disk in drive message. It only happened once and this time it disappeared, acting more like a popup. Why I seem to be getting this thing and no one else reports it is something I'll never know, except to say I must be computer accident prone. sigh I am hesitant to upgrade past Version 5.1.9. Should I go ahead and upgrade and hope this little bugger or is it a bug doesn't bit again? I can un-install and go back if necessary, but I like the fact there are security improvements to the 2.x series. Thoughts, anyone?

Well, I'm sorry if I unfairly accused an honorable person with the handle of Jokerdog of being dishonest. I do think he might want to give his website another name, if in fact he knows anmything about programming. Somebody might have grabbed that name just because it would fit what he's doing. That's sad for any legitimate person using that handle. I, myself, probably because of my years as a ham radio operator, don't use any handles. In fact, there's a site where I was asked to provide a handle. Guess what it was...Nohandles! That's my opinion, anyway.

RE: pay pal
I didn't understand it at first; but the reason they don't make the recordings understandable is the same reason the graphical ccaptchas, as they are called, are blurry; a fact I didn't know. They don't want bots being able to subscribe. I don't know of any bot that can recognize speech, but there may be some, or some may be developed, and the folks at Pay Pal and other subscription services don't want to take that chance. The term captcha, for those who haven't been following the Google accessibility verification petition, stands for completely automatic process to tell computers and humans apart. That pretty much explains it, I think. As I posted earlier, I downloaded the verification file, set Winamp on repeat, and just listened to the thing till I was able to fill out the proper letters. If you mess up you do get additional chances. I don't know if there's a limit but I tried it several times before I finally got it right. Hth.

Professional quality Ear Plugs For Concerts
I was talking with a drummer the other night, and he happened to mention that there are musician's quality ear plugs for lowering db range while listening to loud music. Dave and I plan to go to hear one of our favorite bands on Saturday night; in fact it is the band in which our friend the drummer plays. The venue is rather small, and we're a little concerned about ear damage. We don't go to a lot of loud concerts but when we do Dave has begun to experience temporary hearing loss and I feel as though something has plugged at least one ear. We'd like to get high quality ear plugs so we can enjoy the music in a balanced form without feeling as though our ears are, in fact, plugged. If I understand our friend, this is what high quality ear plugs do. Can anyone tell me where I can find a good set of ear plugs, maybe even on line? We'd like to get them by Saturday so on-line may be faster with express shipping. What brands should we look for and how much should we expect to pay for a good pair? Thanks in advance.

Re: Professional quality Ear Plugs For Concerts
Mac, I just called our local music store. They did not have the Sonic Noise Eliminators; but they do have a brand called Super heroes. They run about $9 for a pack of 6 pairs. They are foam, and are shaped to provide desired db elimination and are used by musicians. Do these sound similar to the Sonic Noise Eliminators? How many of the Sonic Noise Eliminators come in a package? Thanks.

Re: Downloading A Particular ACB Radio Replay
I was trying to download last Monday's Marlaina show; but I thought you could download one replay at a time, but it sounded from the directions that you had to add the url to your podcatcher. I listened to the show on line, because I am not sure I want to add the url and pick up all the broadcasts. Someone said the individual broadcast could be downloaded from the acbradio ftp site, so I'll try that with the next one if we don't hear it live. I have both Media Player and Winamp.

Re: version numbers of Winamp, was RE: That Pesky Little No Disk In Drive Message Has Shown Up Again!
Chris, It would be a good thought, but there are no other drives connected to my PC. Hey, this is the story of my life...if something weird's gonna happen, it's gonna happen to me! At 08:13 PM 3/10/2006, you wrote: hi. The absolute latest version, as of March 10, 2006, is version 5.21. I think that when people write down these version numbers, they are forgetting to put in zeros where there should be. Nullsoft has this interesting habbit of releasing versions such as 5.05, 5.091, 5.092 and so on. This would explain that you see people writing down version numbers like 5.5, 5.94 and so on. It can be very confusing I agree. But i can tell you with 100% certainty, that the latest version number is 5.21. That is the absolute latest version, I promise. As for pam's problem with the no disc in drive, I'm wondering if it somehow relates to some kind of other drive that may be connected via USB or something else. If there is one, and windows is looking for it and there's nothing there, then that may be something. it's a long shot, but that's my guess. The only way I know how to temporarily disable autoplay is to press the shift key when a cd is inserted, but I don't know how to disable it otherwise. There has to be a way though.

RE: Winamp and That Darned No Disk Message Again
Jouie, Frankly, with what's being going on I'm confused myself. I started getting a weird message in which Windows was telling me I had no disk in the drive. Problem is, I didn't intend to be playing any disk. I used the wrong version number, but that has been the least of my problems, except for confusing poor Chris, who has been trying to help me. In order to try to re-install Winamp I un-installed everything...the Winamp program, plugins, folders, EVERYTHING! Then I tried re-installing it again. The problem is a quirky one and I wouldn't even worry about it if everything of yours is working as it should. Chris, I have gone back to yet another version of Winamp because 5.19 would not install. I launched acbri, then closed out Winamp and went back to Windows Media Player to make sure I could still access mystreams. There are actually a few embedded Media Player streams but only one has given me trouble. Anyway, the stream took forever to load, but eventually did. I hope this episode of media mahem is finally over. Thanks, at least for now. hopeful grin Pam At 01:49 PM 3/6/2006, you wrote: Are you talking of plugin's version or what?

I have also seen autoplay pop up in Windows Media Player, but it disappeared as fast as it came and didn't mess with the disk drives. What is that thing, anyway? Autoplay is a feature that allows cds to play automatically once inserted into your cd rom drive. I have absolutely no clue why this would effect Winamp. It plays cds, but all Winamp really does is try to use the Windows cd player and just routes it through there so you can operate it via Winamp. In other words, Winamp grabs onto the functions of the Windows CD player and allows you to use the same Winamp commands to play your cds. x to play, v to stop, b to move forward, z to go back, etc. Again, this shouldn't be happening obviously and it's a bit beyond my knowledge as to how to fix it. I also find that I must not have known what to select or not, because 1.9 tried to download the mp3 files rather than launch them. Ok, when you say this, are you talking about an internet stream, ACB Radio Interactive and others? If so these are not actually mp3 files, these are streaming stations where the info is downloaded to your computer, bit by bit and sent to you through your internet connection. so it's not an actual file. Winamp can not actually download mp3 files, all you can do is listen to them with it. If you get a dialogue box asking you if you want to download something rather than to start playing it, then I believe what might be happening is that Winamp has not been told to play these streams automatically. Winamp is a pretty damn good program, but it's not quite smart enough to know what files that you want it to play, so you must first go into the preferences with control plus p, find the tree view and find the section called file types. you should only have to arrow down a couple of times to get to this. if you press your tab key a couple of times you should hear select all button. you want to press this so that Winamp will know that youu want it to play all the file types it can at least when you install it. After you do this, tab over to the close button, press the space bar and you should be back at the Winamp window. Now, try going back to the ACB Radio tuner, or the website and try listening to one of the stations and I bet you it'll play without any problems. while a station is playing, you can press alt plus i and that station will be added to your bookmarks, think of these as favorites. you can access these at any time.

I can't seem to find the title of the streaming program or song, and I also can't just open Media Player and go right to a site I just accessed, or at least I don't know how.

Re: Winamp and That Darned No Disk Message Again
Chris, Sheesh! Sheesh! Sheesh! I meant 5.9, not 5.1; and damned if I didn't write it again! I repeat...sheesh! So just take away the 1, insert a 5, and you've got my intended message. Yes, I have been talking about Internet streams, which I am now playing exclusively in Windows Media Player. As I said, I'd like to get back to Winamp in order to have the same control of the streams I once had. I was very surprised when 5.9 tried to download, rather than play. Actually, I don't want a couple of the Media Player files checked because one of our favorite stations is played through an embedded player and will not play in Winamp, or at least I have had to go back and uncheck .asx files to get it to stream. So I guess it's still a mystery; right? It sure is for me. Any more thoughts gratefully welcomed.

We also made sure to set the frequency away from other stations. You should be able to do that by tuning it to the quietest place on the dial, which you do by tuning a radio to the same frequency. I bought an aluminum case from Radio Shack over their 800 telephone number. I don't have that number handy but I'm sure you could find it. Check Radioshack.com. I also forget the part number you'll need but they can help you with that. I found the phone representative very knowledgeable about what I needed. While we're on the subject, I read a post yesterday from someone who said their whip antenna will not remain in place on the Veronica. Why not contact Veronica.co.uk or possibly call Hobbytron to see if you need a new antenna or perhaps a new connector. Hope this helps.

Re[2]: FM Transmitters`
I neglected to mention that, though the Veronica does come with a connector for a 9-Volt battery, I purchased a power supply for it. I asked the people at Veronica to do this to be sure I had the best one for avoiding hum. They found me a fine one which is working to this day, as well as the transmitter. The transmitter, even as an assembled kit, came to me as a circuit board with all the components assembled on it. As I said earlier, you will almost certainly want some kind of metal case in which to permanently mount it. Before I got the case it would drift off frequency as soon as I or anyone got near it. After mounting, it has maintained the same frequency for over four years. It's very interesting when someone sighted glances at my stereo and wants to know what's tuned in at 92.6. One friend happened to mention one day that she liked the station I was playing, but hadn't been able to find it on her car radio. g I had to tell her she wouldn't find it, and why.

RE: FM Transmitters`
Oh, did I understand you to say that the Veronica is set with dip switches now? If so, that just shows what a diffference 4 years can make! Pam At 08:51 AM 2/21/2006, you wrote: Yes, it does come with a set frequency, but like others, it can be changed with dip switches.

You can buy one from the factory in England at veronica.co.uk, or through a company called Hobbytron at hobbytron.com.

Re: FM Transmitters`
I also enjoy the Veronica. I bought it from the factory about 4-1/2 years ago directly from the factory in England, but it is now available from hobbytron.com, and it is already mounted in a case. I bought a metal case from Radio Shack and had it mounted. You'll probably want to either buy it mounted or mount it yourself because it is very sensitive to contact such as bumping on a crowded desk. Mine is the older model with two leads as an antenna. It has quite a range, being heard at the end of our block. Now that it is encased it hasn't drifted once. No one has ever complained in all this time; and just about anyone in the neighborhood would know where to complain if they did. We're the only blind people for at least a mile and are often listening to one of the ACB Radio streams. The word, blind comes up often enough it's a dead giveaway. Of course I turn the transmitter off if I am listening to something that might offend. Pam At 07:24 AM 2/20/2006, you wrote: My husband and I find that the varonica transmitter works fabulously.

Re: Veronica FM Transmitter frequency changing
Jim and Andy, We have our Veronica plugged into the sound card of my computer. We chose a cd we know well and used it to test the transmitter after we chose the quiet spot. The cd we chose was one of the Tim-Life 1970's set. we chose I Remember You by Frank Ifield (spelling)?. We first got a very quiet spot on the radio dial, then tuned for speaker separation. The song has good separation and bass response so we got an excellent signal which hasn't had to be adjusted in over 3 years. Sometimes the lead wires get covered by papers on my desk; so when it starts getting fuzzy I spread the leads out and that takes care of it. I bought the transmitter without the case and a friend mounted it for me. On Wed, 17 Nov 2004 15:57:25 -, you wrote: Hi Jim. Snap! I got mine yesterday; magic, isn't it? Regarding your question. My brother, who has had one for a few months, advised me to tune my radio into an area between stations, then locate a screw hole on the base of the Veronica and turn the screw slowly, until the signal is picked up in the radio. Probably a job for two people if your radio or tuner is some distance from the transmitter. Best try a quiet song so you can tune it in closer, if you know what I mean. Get back if you experience problems. Incidentally, I ventured into my garden with a radio and managed to get about 100 feet before loosing the signal. The batteries in the radio are quite low so I'm going to repeat the exercise with new batteries. Best wishes. Andy from sunny Kilcreggan.

Re: fm transmitter query
I have the Veronica as well as I too am very pleased with it. I have had it now for over 3 years and it hasn't need re-tuning since Halloween of 2001. smile On Mon, 18 Oct 2004 22:42:50 +1000, you wrote: Hi Marco, I know this isn't what you wanted but a few months ago I bought a 50mw transmitter made by the Veronica company in the UK. This isn't a USB transmitter but I am extremely impressed with it. In fact the signal is so good that it is hard to tell the signal is being transmitted. I also bought a power supply with the transmitter that filters out some of the interference. I paid 196 Australian dollars for the transmitter and power supply. You can read about this transmitter at www.veronica.co.uk/50mwsb.htm. *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 18/10/2004 at 9:48 PM Marco Curralejo wrote: i'm asking this question again, since i got no response from anybody previously. i'm wondering if anyone has used a USB FM transmitter and if so, whether they have had good results from them. i'm particularly looking at purchasing the USB PLL FM TRANSMITTER which works with all windows platforms, mac 9 and 10 and linux. a detailed description can be found at www.broadcastwarehouse.com/search?searchtext=all-fm-transmitter Regards Steve, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: steve1963 MSN Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Alternative Players
I am subscribed to the Real premium service. Can I use Real Alternative? I've also heard talk of a Quicktime alternative player. I haven't had good luck with Quicktime. Has anyone had success with the alternative?

Is There Any Reason Why A CD Recorded Overseas Won't Play on a U.S. Player orVise Versa?
Dave's stepmother bought a cd in Ecuador and wanted to play it for us before giving it to her granddaughter as a graduation gift. The disk was bought at a school for blind and disabled students who performed the Spanish music as part of a tour taken by Dave's stepmom and her group. When she put it into her very old cd player it seemed to spin but wouldn't load. We offered to burn a copy or at least see if it would play on our own player. When we got back home from our visit with her we discovered that she somehow managed to give us the wrong disk. When we called to tell her we needed to go back to exchange the one we had for the correct one, she said that some of her granddaughter's friends had experienced the same problem. I'm wondering if the disk was home-made in the first place, so to speak. Has anyone heard of such a situation?

Aman, Thanks. Now if we can convince Dave's stepmother that we may have a chance of retrieving this data. Oh, if we could only have known that she had put the wrong disk in the jewel case. sigh Now, please tell me about recovery software. This will be a whole new experience, other than the burning of course. Pam On Mon, 19 Apr 2004 03:22:57 -0400, you wrote: Hi. The CD format is worldwide. It's possible that whoever was burning it didn't finalize it, that it's a CDRW (they won't play on most standard CD players), that the disk itself is bad, or a number of other things. However, these things could just as well happen to a disk recorded down the street. I think your idea is a good one. Get it into a CD-rom and try to get the audio off it as data. If it's bad in itself, use recovery software to get the data off it.
