To find out the price of J-Tunes scripts, go here:

It is £41.13 but I don't know what that is in US$.

You must be nuts.  Certainly you are giving out incorrect information probably 
because of your ignorance of Jtunes and or Itunes, certainly the Airport 
Express, which puts all of the transmitters that I've tried to shame.

 High Tom,
 I agree with you on that.
 It is way to much trouble for anyone to go through, especially if you can't 
 see.
 Also, the thing about ITunes, is you have to have a peace of software that's 
 called JTunes.
 And that's just to make ITunes blind user friendly.
 But most people don't have $1000 to spend on a peace of software that limits 
 you to one application.
 Where is the since in that?
 The radio transmitter, is a way cheaper way to get your tunes from your 
 computer to anywhere you may want to take it around your home.
 I have two transmitters.
 One on my computer, the other one on my satellite dish receiver.

 To John and Dane: this Airport thing sounds like it'd be more trouble; 
 you've got to have a speaker here; a speaker there..I like how the 
 transmitter works as far as just being able to turn on a radio..and you can 
 hear the computer (I had thought it used to be louder)..but maybe not; also, 
 often I have to turn the radio up loud enough to hear the thing I'm 
 listening to..and get a bit of a hum!  Oh well..I've lived with it all this 
 time (got the transmitter in the Christmas of 04)..this amplifier thing that 
 John talks about might be a thought; mainly wanted to see if what I'm 
 experiencing is normal for this transmitter (I can make it as loud as the 
 station should sound)..aw but then the s sounds sound distorted!

 Hello Tom and David,
 There is a quick fix for the problem you're having.
 The problem can be solved by putting a booster buffer amplifier between 
 the transmitter and computer or whatever the audio source is.
 Set the volume on the transmitter to the 11:00 position, and set the gain 
 on the booster buffer amplifier to 50% which is, half way up.
 Set the volume on the booster buffer amplifier to the 9:00 position, and 
 there you are!
 This is how I have mine sat up, I don't have any problems at all since I 
 done that.
 Hope this helps.

Maybe your screenreading software was crashing because it was jaws, because I 
have been using the software under windows and mac os for over a year no 
problem.  Since the software is totally accessible under window-eyes and 
voiceover I can only feel sorry for jaws users who are missing out on an audio 
experience that far out does a fm transmitters.

First, if I were you I would quit saying that Jtunes was anywhere near $1000.  
In fact, though I don't use Jaws, I happen to know that Jtunes is just a set of 
Jaws scripts, and though I haven't checked the price lately, I would be 
surprised if it were near $100.  Secondly, if you are saying you needed sighted 
assistance to use the Airport Express and you still couldn't get it to work but 
I manage to use it every day with no sight well enough said.  Third, I happen 
to know some of the people on this list and know that it would be easy for them 
to use if only they weren't listening to the bogus information you were putting

Hi can you tell us what this audioproc plug in does and how you have it set 
up?
Also is it free to get and is this a DSP plug in and also where do you get 
the sound solutions one that you have and do you use them both at the same 
time and if so how do you have them both set up meaning what settings are 
you using.

And was it hard to get these two plug in together?

Re: C-Crane Transmitter Question

You can find it at winamp.com if you look in the plugins section.  Search on 
audioproc.
I just installed the lite version and it works great.  Reminds me of the old 
Volumelogic plugin which is no longer made.
It isn't free but there is a 15 day trial period to see if you like it.

 Hi can you tell us what this audioproc plug in does and how you have it set 
 up?
 Also is it free to get and is this a DSP plug in and also where do you get 
 the sound solutions one that you have and do you use them both at the same 
 time and if so how do you have them both set up meaning what settings are you 
 using.
 And was it hard to get these two plug in together?

 have equipment to compress the sound before it gets to the transmitter

Re: C-Crane Transmitter Question

2010-01-09 Thread DJ DOCTOR P

Hello Tom and David,
There is a quick fix for the problem you're having.
The problem can be solved by putting a booster buffer amplifier between the 
transmitter and computer or whatever the audio source is.
Set the volume on the transmitter to the 11:00 position, and set the gain on 
the booster buffer amplifier to 50% which is, half way up.
Set the volume on the booster buffer amplifier to the 9:00 position, and 
there you are!
This is how I have mine sat up, I don't have any problems at all since I 
done that.

Hope this helps.
My best regards.
 John.

I've just also remembered, I don't  know about Winamp but Itunes has a

High Dain,
I tried that software about a year ago, I didn't like it.
For one thing, it kept on crashing my screen reading software which was and 
still is Jaws.
The other thing is, you need sighted help to set up those blue tooth speaker

I like working independently of sighted help.

But anyway, that's just me.

To John and Dane: this Airport thing sounds like it'd be more trouble; 
you've got to have a speaker here; a speaker there..I like how the 
transmitter works as far as just being able to turn on a radio..and you can 
hear the computer (I had thought it used to be louder)..but maybe not; also, 
often I have to turn the radio up loud enough to hear the thing I'm 
listening to..and get a bit of a hum!  Oh well..I've lived with it all this 
time (got the transmitter in the Christmas of 04)..this amplifier thing that 
John talks about might be a thought; mainly wanted to see if what I'm 
experiencing is normal for this transmitter (I can make it as loud as the 
station should sound)..aw but then the s sounds sound distorted!

You don't have to have a speaker here or speaker there in your words, you 
just connect the Airport express to a sound source, say the line in of a micro 
system or whatever and that's all there is to it, static free and noise free 
reception throughout your house and with Airfoil you can play any source you 
like to your Airport Express, computer or whatever anywhere.

That's incorrect, Airfoil does its streaming through Wi-Fi and has nothing 
whatever to do with Blue Tooth Speakers.  You do not need sighted assistance to 
set Airfoil up nor do you need sighted assistance to set up your Airport 
Express.

I can't comment on bluetooth speaker systems as I've never used them but I 
certainly can comment on Airport Express and Airfoil as I own both and I also 
run Airfoil from both a Windows and Mac machine.

Airfoil has had several updates since a year ago so that may have fixed the 
problem with JAWS crashing.  the only thing you'll need to do is assign some of 
the custom controls labels so you know what you're doing and I assume with JAWS 
you don't need sighted assistance for that smile.  The first custom control 
you come to is the Test button, press this to stream the hijacked audio to 
your Windows default sound output.  Press the Tab key and you come to the 
next Custom control which is the Remote Stream button, this is the button you 
press to stream to another computer, Airport Express, Iphone or whatever.  
There are other buttons but I think you have the idea so no, Airfoil, Airport 
Express and Airfoil speakers have absolutely nothing whatever to do with 
bluetooth.

High Tom,
I agree with you on that.
It is way to much trouble for anyone to go through, especially if you can't 
see.
Also, the thing about ITunes, is you have to have a peace of software that's 
called JTunes.

And that's just to make ITunes blind user friendly.
But most people don't have $1000 to spend on a peace of software that limits 
you to one application.

Where is the since in that?
The radio transmitter, is a way cheaper way to get your tunes from your 
computer to anywhere you may want to take it around your home.

I have two transmitters.
One on my computer, the other one on my satellite dish receiver.

Hello André,
You could use shielded audio cables.
You are probably picking up the humming noise from your power cords.
If that is the case, the shielded cables will remove that noise from the 
audio signal path.

Thanx for this.  I used ordinary cable used to make RCA to RCA commercial

length anyway?

The USB soundcard I am usin is the Imagic  EMI 2/6.  This was supposed to be
a very high quality card in the early 2000s.   But I do not know how it will
compare with today's equipment.  Hopefully not to bad!

Hello Tom and David,
There is a quick fix for the problem you're having.
The problem can be solved by putting a booster buffer amplifier between 
the transmitter and computer or whatever the audio source is.
Set the volume on the transmitter to the 11:00 position, and set the gain 
on the booster buffer amplifier to 50% which is, half way up.
Set the volume on the booster buffer amplifier to the 9:00 position, and 
there you are!
This is how I have mine sat up, I don't have any problems at all since I 
done that.

Hope this helps.
My best regards.

You are going to have to tweak both the computer and the transmitter in 
order to get the optimum performance out of your transmitter without pushing 
the envelope. Just by making minor adjustments to the audio settings should 
keep you on track. If you hear the transmitter starting to distort, then 
that is an indication to back off the source a little. If you have to turn 
up the volume of your tuner that is OK. The analogy that I like to use is 
similar to taking water from a garden hose and trying to force it through a 
drinking straw. It won't work!!! A good source for low-power FM transmitters 
is http://www.fmamplifiers.com/
This company is in Canada, and the guy in question will build a transmitter 
to your specifications with switches and knobs that are easily identifiable 
for those without sight. These transmitters are a little pricey, but well 
worth the money. I recommended this site awhile back, and a number of blind 
peple ordered the low-power transmitter, and have nothing but praise for it.

 All you need to do is hook up your audio source to the RCA inputs on 
the back of the unit, and you are on the air!




 This NEW 100 milliwatt FM stereo transmitter will well out perform 
most of the low cost units on the market since it was carefully designed to 
pass even the very lowest audio frequencies down to 20 Hz and up to 15 KHz 
for the high frequencies.  Believe me, this unit sounds just like the big 
stations!  Excellent base and highs!!!
 Its highly accurate crystal reference and PLL circuitry ensure you 
will have a very stable signal at all times.   The frequencies can easily be 
selected by pushing the recessed buttons using a paper clip wire.  The 
frequency range is 88 to 108 MHz and the channel resolution is 100KHz.  I 
should also mention that the stereo separation is excellent!  We tested this 
unit against 4 other stereo unit that did not even come close.
 The unit is housed in a very nice extruded aluminum enclosure that 
shields the unit.  No cheap plastic box used here!  For more range a high 
gain antenna could be used and connected to the standard BNC connector on 
the back of the unit.


 If you are seriously looking for a high performance Stereo 
transmitter, this is definitely the one!

High Kasey,
You can pick those up at any high end stereo shop.
They will cost somewhere in between $200 and $800 all depending on what kind 
you get.
There are some that uses vacuum tubes, and quite a few that are ADA 
converters.

Hope this helps.
My best regards.
 John.

Hello Tom and David,
There is a quick fix for the problem you're having.
The problem can be solved by putting a booster buffer amplifier between 
the transmitter and computer or whatever the audio source is.
Set the volume on the transmitter to the 11:00 position, and set the gain 
on the booster buffer amplifier to 50% which is, half way up.
Set the volume on the booster buffer amplifier to the 9:00 position, and 
there you are!
This is how I have mine sat up, I don't have any problems at all since I 
done that.

Hope this helps.
My best regards.
 John.

That is not uncommon for these transmitters.  Professional fm stations 
have equipment to compress the sound before it gets to the transmitter 
which makes it louder than it would otherwise be.  The C. Crane cannot 
possibly compete with that.

Hi!

I've given up on transmitting FM around the house for the very reason 
which you've outlined, the transmitters just became too unreliable not 
to mention to many ocmputers and the like causing interference on the 
band - that may not be a problem for some people of course - so that's 
why I went the way of the Airport Express. just connect to a pair of 
speakers, a digital link to an amp, headphones or whatever and take the 
stream from your computer.  Airport Express will work standard with 
Itunes or you can use Airfoil, this hijacks audio sources on your 
computer and streams them to the Airport express or any other computer 
using the Airfoil Speakers software which is free.


You can use it as base station too! for all your wi-fi needs.
