Searching Records
Good Morning Some while ago I put all my music onto an external hard drive. Last night I was asked to play a specific track that I know I have in one of the many, many various artistes discs I have but I just cannot remember which one. A simple search would find it but I just cannot work out how. Some advice would but very much appreciated please.

Re: re converting audible files
Hello Brian I'm sorry but I gave the incorrect program name. On checking I find it's really dbPoweramp and the url is: https://www.dbpoweramp.com/ Yu will find it does a lot more than just converting .aa files but that is all I use it for.

Re: CD Problem
I don't know the program you mention but I've tried several others, CDEex, Express Rip, Goldwave, SoundTaxi and dPover to name a few and apart from my PC not recognising I have a CD in the drive it will not accept the disc exists when I try to add it in the program. My personal opinion is the discs are of a type the computer will not work with and not just mine as I've tried them in my wife's and both my sons' machines all to the same results.

SoundTaxi DRM Protection
Running Win7 64bit Home Premium I while ago I decided to dump my CD collection and copy them onto an external hard drive. All went well until I came to a set of 12 Classic Jazz discs I had purchased from Time Life Music. It appears they are DRM protected and nothing would shift them. I trawled through the internet and found a site that said that SoundTaxi would do the job. I have the pro version of this program installed so have spent the last couple of hours trying to work out how to do it with no success. SoundTaxi puts up a disclaimer stating it will not tolerate any illegal use. I am well within the law as I purchased the discs legally and am copying them to my own PC system for my own use only. (literally as the wife hates jazz with a passion. There’s some funny people about!! LOL) Obviously I’m not doing something right. Can anyone help me please. Roger

Re: transfering from cassettes
Around 3/4 years ago I transferred both mine and my wife's CD collection to external hard drives. Certainly not as high tech as are being discussed here. I purchased a Magix Audio Cleaning Lab program very cheaply for, in your currency, around $15 and connected an ordinary CD player via the headphones socket to my soundcard and spent weeks slowly working through the pile of almost a thousand cassettes. I had the player and also the 3.5 mm male to male audio cable so my total outlay was minimal. I didn't know about Audicity then so could have saved that modest outlay if I'd heard of it.

As to recording and editing software, there are several audio packages that offer multi-track capabilities. Some of these applications include Audacity which is a free download, Reaper, which is a very moderately priced package which costs in the $35 to $40 range, and Sonar, which is a high end multi-track sound editor which is often used by professional recording studios. To give equal coverage to avid Mac users, there are Mac-based multi-track editors as well. I believe one of these is called Cakewalk and Studio Garage Band or something simllar to that also. About all of these sound editors will enable the user to solo individual tracks or listen to the full mix.

Re: removing vocal from music
The guy I knew never seemed to have any problems. So maybe they all are done that way when recorded professionally.

But that will then only work for music which is specifically recorded in that way?

I understand the CD's have the vocals in a different track to the music so it is relatively easy for software to achieve this.

Re: Recording level in Goldwave
Hi Howard I’ve been putting my CD collection onto an external hard drive using CDEx and found a set I bought that is heavily protected and will not allow this. The discs will play in a non-pc CD player but not on any computer player, so the intention is to hook a CD player up to the PC sound card and add the CD's to the hard drive that way as we did when transferring the cassette and vinyl collections. I used Magic Audio Lab for this then but no longer have that software, even if I did it may not be compatible with Win 7 anyway so the intention was to use Goldwave. Except I don’t know how, seeing your post tells me you obviously do so could you give me a quick tutorial on how it is to be done, please. Many thanks Roger -Original Message- From: Howard Traxler Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2013 11:42 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Recording level in GoldWave I've been ripping my LPs, open reels, and cassettes to .wav files using GoldWave. The volume level of the resulting files vary by quite a bit. I can't get an idea of just how much until I finish editing and convert them to mp3 files. I then use MP3Gain to get them to the level I want. Not really understanding the measure of level in decabels, I just make them all 94 which sounds ok to me and is close to how loud my JAWS with Eloquence talks. I'm wondering if there's a way that I can tell earlier in the process if I need to raise or lower the recording level in GoldWave? Any suggestions? Thank you.

Re: CD Problem
Hi John Been so long since I input all my vinyl and cassettes to the PC I'd forgotten all about it. But of course it's the obvious answer. Many thanks for pointing out the simple answer to me. Roger -Original Message- From: john Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 9:43 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: CD Problem Hi, It does sound like some kind of protection system. I'm not sure what method of protection would give this but I'm guessing it may be something called multi-session disc. I wouldn't know how to brake this protection but you could use a regular cd player with a sound card to record the tracks as wave or mp3 to your pc by connecting the output of your cd player to the input of your sound card and use an audio recorder program like audasity or sound forge. hth, John - Original Message - From: roger.so...@virgin.net To: Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 8:28 PM Subject: CD Problem Hello A few years ago I purchased a set of 12 double disc albums called ClassicJazz from Time Life. I’ve played them often on a CD player in the room I keep my PC. That has now been removed and all music is played on my pC with the surround sound it’s hooked into. I decided to load all my music onto an external hard drive and get rid of the discs. I found these jazz discs will not load into the PC player. Going to My Computer the CD drive shows as empty. The same is true of my wife’s laptop and my son’s PC and laptop but any player except one connected to a computer will play them with no problems. I’ve contacted Time Life and find the UK site no longer exists. Therefore I dealt with the US Company. The ClassicJazz series is no longer sold. I received a response to my email asking me to phone them. I replied saying I’m located in the Uk and have heard no more from them. I seem to remember Sony brought out an anti copying method which sound like what I’m experiencing here. I seem to also remember it was said you could break this protection by rubbing a felt tip pen round the edge of the disc. I’ve tried this to no avail. I could bring back a CD player into this room and fit it into the sound system just to play this one set of discs but I’d much rather have them all on my hard drive. Has anyone any ideas to help me, please?
