Re: Winamp, my thoughts and VLC
Ok. Lets make a few things clear. 1. What in the world is your problem with windows. If you don't like it, don't use it, not to mention don't call it a trashbox, you don't see me sittin here calling your mack a trashbox. I haven't used a mack because I don't know if there are any screenreaders available and certainly I haven't heard of any. 2. Secondly because, imho anyway, apple's products are a bit overpriced and not to mention I wish other companies would support mack (if mack is so great, etc). I've got an acer aspire 3000+ here, hp pavillion dv5220, and just recently got an alienware, 2.3 ghz intel duel core processor, 2 gb ram, top of the line etc. Now, the reason I'm saying this is because some people, like you, prefer mack. That's perfectly fine. Some people such as myself like windows and are used to it, therefore use it. Now, I'm not saying anything bad about a mack- so why're you jabbing fingers at windows? for that matter, if mack does everything you say it does, why are you using windows in the first place if you don't like it? I hope I don't look like I'm flaming you but, that's just my oppinion, and also I kind of feel insulted when people call windows a trashbox, while not giving supporting evidence of such. While microsoft may have its drawbacks, I see nothing wrong with vista, just some things to get used to, and besides, people are complaining about it all the time, but I personally don't mind it. Now I know this is a pc audio list and will add that it could be your computer that's causing the crash. winamps never crashed on my system, although I once loaded a .ogg file which free download manager was downloading and it lagged my pc bad! (of course, this was on the acer with like 1.6 ghz, 256 mb ram) so I upgraded the thing with another 512 mb. So hey, Dane, if you don't mind e-mailing me off list, I'd like to see a mack in action and get the specs on the thing.

I've been using VLC on the Mac for ages but haven't had too much experience with it on the PC, the command set is slightly different but that's probably due mainly to differences in the keyboard layout between Mac and Trashbox Windows PC. For example, you go to previous and next tracks in VLC under the Mac using command-left and command-right arrow respectively, on the PC version you use P and N on the keyboard If anyone would like to give this excellent little media player a try then use your friend Google and look for vlc, you'll have no trouble finding it. Takes up a lot less space than Winamp does plus it will play just about everything you can throw at it, including Cue and Wave/FLAC pairs.

Re: Rockbox
You could probably get the sandisc sansa e200 or c200. Don't get an ipod, --they're too expensive, and when you can get a mp3 player for cheaper than that, you shouldn't need to pay that much- but then again, how big do you want it to be? I currently own an ipod video, which I payed $400 for. The sansa c250, 2 gigs of memory but with expansion, was about 60 bucks. Rockbox works splendidly on the ipod video, and a note, if your getting rockbox right away, don't bother getting warranty.

Kim, I've got an ipod video 30 GB. I use rockbox. I absolutely love the thing. It voices files, folders, and all menu items. The menu's interface is different than the ipods, but in a good way imho. The manual is very accessible and, if I do say so myself, helpful. The voices are clear and have nice speed. I've been using this for a good 6 months.

Just wondered if anyone has had a chance to look at the new Ipod Classic yet. Apparently it has a 160GB drive, forget about storing your MP3 collection or whatever on your computer smile. The other reason I bring this up is because in the latest version of Itunes for the Mac, the synching process for the Ipod and Itunes with your computer is now fully accessible.

Re: Yahoo and LaunchCast Plus
hello If you want to customize your station, go to: http://www.bluebeat.com Its free, its great, and I love it. Don't get me wrong, launchcast is great too, but you can't beat 320 kbps. If you don't want to customize your station, simply go to killer playlists or time machine, and choose from about 100 genres, ranging from country to just plain wierd, in all aeras of time from the 1920s onwards, if you so desire. Just download the plug in for windows media player, set up an acount and your all ready to go. I live in canada, therefore, can't make my own station due to copyright, however, this sure as heck doesn't make it a less enjoyable experience, as there are about a million stations to choose from, not to mention you can browse by artists, album etc, genre, too. Adding songs to your crate or station as you so choose. I absolutely love it- and hope you do, too! Blue beat loves hearing from us blind users- I e-mailed them about an accessibility on there website, and got a prompt response, asking me what they could do to fix the problem. I can't say enough about how unknown this website is, how nobody knows about it. Its one of the best, and it makes launchcast look bad in comparison. But, I'm on dialup, so its sort of dificult for me to get in there, the minimum bitrate is 160, so I recommend having a dsl or higher connection speed, I'm getting high speed tomorrow, so if you need more help, I'll be happy to add more detailed instructions about things. hope that helps, Tyler - Original Message - From: Lynn Schneider [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 12:34 AM Subject: RE: Yahoo and LaunchCast Plus Hi Jim. If you figure this out, please let us know how you did it. I subscribed to Launchcast for a while, but was disappointed that I couldn't seem to do much customization, which is what I now expect from online music sites. I loved the stations, but was frustrated that I couldn't seem to customize my own station. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Fettgather Sent: Monday, September 24, 2007 2:50 PM To: PC audio discussion list. Subject: Yahoo and LaunchCast Plus Hello to the list. I have joined the Yahoo! LaunchCast Plus service and it seems like there's a great variety of high quality stations and formats from which to choose. When you call up the entire list of stations, even though they're not identified as links using Jaws, you can still press Enter on any given station to launch it, and it plays just fine. You can even save the station to your Favorites list and launch it that way very quickly. Apparently, it is possible to customize your personal station to include artists and genres from specific formats. I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to do this? I have been going round and round in circles on these pages but have not figured this out just yet. If anyone has successfully done this, perhaps you could let me know how you accomplished it. Thanks a lot. - Original Message - From: Bob Seed [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 11:02 AM Subject: Re: Follow-up on FM Transmitters When it comes to AM transmitters this company only makes a 500 and a 1000 watt unit. Since this company does custom work it is quite possible that they could build you a small AM transmitter. similar to the FM unit that they build for home consumers. It wouldn't hurt to drop them an e-mail or give them a call and see what they say. - Original Message - From: Jonathan Mosen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'PC audio discussion list. ' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 9:25 PM Subject: Follow-up on FM Transmitters A couple of months ago, there was a great thread on this list about FM transmitters. A user recommended the transmitter found at http://www.wavemach.com. I purchased one of these and am thrilled. The range is huge, the construction solid, no nasty power hum, very good stereo separation, in short, no complaints whatsoever. I got him to add a level control that allows me to set the line in for the two RCA sockets, and he also added small buttons for setting the frequency. It has a standard antenna socket at the back and comes with a very solid little antenna, not just a wire. So if you're looking for an FM transmitter, this one is definitely worth a look, but it is on the high end of the price range. You definitely get what you pay for though.

Re: A torrent question:
Just go to: www.btjunkie.org www.torrentspy.org www.mininova.org I like using torrent sites, rather than the actual program. Anyway, sorry if this doesn't answer your question- but, I find most of my things on those sites.

converting mp3 files to daisy?
Hi, I'm looking for a program that will convert a batch of mp3 files into daisy format and will let me listen to it as a daisy book on a daisy player, such as the victor reader classic- as an example, with regular mp3's, you don't get the title spoken every time you power up the player. I'd like this to be the case here, although I tried using daisy book generator and it did not - I made a folder called daisy generated books, with a folder in it which contained the files I wanted to convert to daisy format. I right clicked on this latter folder, went to daisy generate, and pressed enter. IT PROCESSED ALL OF THE FILES, HOWEVER, WHEN I burned it to cd using nero burning rom and played it on my victor reader classic, I got nothing different then what a regular mp3 is (on the classic, folder 1, file 1 etc). Is there something I'm doing wrong? Does anyone have experience with this? thanks Tyler Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: converting mp3 files to daisy?
Yes, when I used daisy generator, those files were added into the folder. But when I played it on the victor reader, all I got was folder 1, file 1, etc. thanks - Original Message - From: Gary G Schindler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2007 5:39 PM Subject: Re: converting mp3 files to daisy? It seems to me you need smil files to go along with the MP3 files you made, and some kind of html pages that probably should have been copied into the folder you made. - Original Message - From: Timberwolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2007 3:21 PM Subject: converting mp3 files to daisy?
