Using Rhapsody and Rhapsody Blind
Hi everybody. I've installed Rhapsody and Rhapsody Blind (the accompanying Jaws scripts designed by John Martin) but I'm still trying to get to grips with how Rhapsody works and what settings I need etc. I'm also finding that, even when I move between options in the preferences and so on, Jaws repeats the line above or below, making it hard to identify that I'm ticking the correct option or action. Does anyone please have any audio or text tutorials or website links that can help me in gaining a better understanding of the Rhapsody software and how to access it? Many thanks, Danny
rhapsody? ITunes? pros? cons?
The subject line sets this up I am looking at both I've had a rhapsody account in the past and my so far 2 complaints with it were first that on top of a subscription you appear to be charged on a per download basis Am I wrong? Is there something hidden within rhapsody that I am missing? My second complaint is that Rhapsody does not work outside the US so I was being billed for service I could not use while in the UK. Now to ITunes. First complaint m4a. Now I know most state of the art devices support m4a but I have also heard that manufacturers are moving away from support for m4a. Who is correct? Searching iTunes on the PC is for me a master class in swearing like a sailor but on the phone the process is somewhat less irksome. What if any experiences have you folks had with either or both?

Fwd: Increased Access to Rhapsody and more on this week's Main Menu
From:Jamie Pauls jamiepa...@sbcglobal.net To: annou...@acbradio.org This week, after our weekly Tech Update feature courtesy of Chase Crispin, we visit with Jonathan Martin who has written a set of Jaws scripts for Rhapsody, the popular online music subscription service. The scripts bring access to the Rhapsody application that has been almost impossible up to this point. After the interview, we take the scripts for a short test drive. Main Menu airs on Fridays at 9 PM Eastern or Saturdays at 2 UTC. Call the Main Menu comment line at (206) 339-0954.

RE: Is there an accessible MP3 player that works with Rhapsody?
Route Pc to Jaws and then Jaws to PC. JFW works with Rhapsody better than Window-Eyes at present. Also, Rhapsody support from the web has improved considerably. I need to do a complete reworking of my Rhapsody tutorial. Let me try to explain the Rhapsody situation a little better. First, for $12.99 a month, a person can stream tracks to their heart's content. If one wishes to download a track for burning to CD, it must be purchased for $0.98 or less. For $13.99 a month, tracks can be streamed and transferred to a portable player supported by Rhapsody. If one wishes to download or burn tracks, they still must be purchased. It is true that Rhapsody has gone to unprotected MP3 files when purchasing, but I'm not sure how this affects the Rhapsody To Go options mentioned above. I may need to call tech support, wait an hour on hold, and talk to someone who doesn't speak English well and won't have a clue what I'm trying to explain. I suspect I'm going to have to do that, though. Pray for me all.l -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Robert doc Wright Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2009 3:22 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Is there an accessible MP3 player that works with Rhapsody?

I use Rhapsody WMA files all the time with Winamp and WMP.

Re: Is there an accessible MP3 player that works with Rhapsody?
From the review at http://mp3.about.com/od/digitalmusicdelivery/fr/Rhapsodyreview.htm, it says: File Formats: Rhapsody has its own DRM system just like the iTunes Store does to protect its music files. The DRM system that is used is known as Helix. The file format that is used with this encryption technology is RAX (AAC encapsulated in Helix). You can alternatively download WMA files if you prefer; these are protected with Microsoft’s WMDRM system. I don't use Rhapsody myself, but the implication that you could only get Real audio files from Rhapsody didn't sound right to me, so a quick trip to Google gave me the above information.

RE: Frustrated with Rhapsody
Good morning, Chris. I am still using 10.5. I haven't felt the need to move to the new version 11 yet. When you open Preferences, you are in a tree view. Start on General and then arrow down slowly to CD. It should be right after the MY Library option. When you get to the CD item it will say closed. Right arrow once to open the item. If you Hear cd Burner back arrow once.. Tab down through the options. There's a selection for Prompt to save tracks. Make sure that's checked. Right after that, there is a list of the different formats to which you can save. The next tab puts you in a Quality selection box. Once you've made your selections, tab down to the ok button. With those modifications, when you put a disk in the drive, Real Player should come up and ask you if you want to save the tracks and if you say yes, will rip them according to your selectins. Hope this helps. If you are still having trouble, contact me off list and perhaps we can arrange to make contact by phone. Good luck.

Re: Frustrated with Rhapsody
Hey, won't Soundtaxi convert .RAX to .MP3? When I was using a Windows machine a while ago it seemed to work.

Re: Frustrated with Rhapsody
Hi Clifford, Well, I followed your advice and used the real player music store. You are right it is much easier. Now I have two more problems though. First of all, when I bring up real player it automatically goes out to the internet and plays me about 30 seconds of clips that I'm not interested. I don't know how to turn this feature off. Secondly, if I go into the CD burner how do I locate and add songs to my list to burn. I want to get several songs in a list to burn all at once because I don't want to waste a CD with just a couple of song on it. Thanks much.

RE: Frustrated with Rhapsody
Chris, When in Real Player, to go the Tools menu, alt+T and arrow up or down, to Preferences. The first item in perferences is how to what page you want Real Player to open. I think you have to tab down once and then arrow through several selections. Then tabe to ok and hit enter. I think I have mine set to Real Player only no browser. You can have it open to the Music Store or the Cd Burner or several other things. As for adding tracks to burn several on a disk. I find it easiest to select my first track as I think you know how to do now. After the CD Burner comes up, I alt/tab back to where I have my music, select another track hit the applications key and arrow down to burn in Real Player. It places that track after the first. I repeat until I have as many tracks as I want or will fit on the disk. Another way to do this is to create a new folder in My Documents with what ever name you want. Copy and paste the tracks you want to burn to this folder. Once you have all the tracks in the order you want (you may need to append numbers before the track name to get the order to stick) do a control+a to select all, hit the applications key, arrow down to the Burn in Real Player buttone, hit it and you will have all the tracks ready for burning once the burner opens up. There is another more complicated way to do this using the add tracks function from the edit menu, but I don't advise that unless absolutely necessary! Hope this helps.

RE: Frustrated with Rhapsody
Chris, I do add all my tracks to the library so Real Player knows where to find them. For new clips, this is done automatically by the program, I think. When I make a compilation type disk, I either create a folder into which I copy and paste tracks in My Documents or just add them individually in the order I want them using the highlight, applications key and arrow down to burn in Real Player method that I described earlier.

RE: Frustrated with Rhapsody
If you're only looking for a small numbers of tracks per year, sign up to the Real Music Store at Real.com It uses the same propietary format as Rapsody and you can buy individual tracks or albums. Price is generally $.99 per track and $9.99 an album though a couple of times a year they seem to have sales and cut the price by around 20%.

RE: Frustrated with Rhapsody
Chris, One downside to Real Music Player and Rapsody is that your tracks come in a proprietary format identified as .rax. Someone on this list or perhaps it was on another list, indicated that actually the .rax file isn't a real music file, but is a pointer to a site on the internet where the music streams from/through. If you want to use your purchased file, you will need to use the burner in Real Player to burn the .rax file to a music cd. It's not the easiest device to use, but it isn't the worst either. Once you have the music on a playable cd, you can re-rip the music to whatever format you wish. However, as this is a compression after decompression of a compressed file, you may have some loss of quality. You should also be able to transfer your .rax files to many different .mp3 players including most Ipods directly from Real Player. I haven't had a lot of luck doing this, but I haven't spent a lot of time trying to figure it out either. If you go the Real Music Store route, it is probably worth paying the one time fee for the plus version of Real Player. There is a very good normalization feature and the ability to print jewel case inserts and some other features that come in the plus version. I think it cousts around $19.99. Please let me know if you have other questions.

Re: Frustrated with Rhapsody
Hi, Clifford and list. I occasionally use the Real music store and can download my rax viles (the greedy proprietory form of a Real file) from Realplayer into an MP3 player such as the Creative Zen Plus and the Ilo which I boght on-line from Walmart awhile back. Haven't tried with the Zen Stone, but there's no reason to think it won't work. Seems like there's some weird unhoy alliance between Real.com and the Windows media folks because I think when I transfer my rax files to my portable player, they have a wma extension tot hem, digital rights protected, of course. In any case, I find it easy to transfer my rax files to a device using real player; easier than using the dreaded Windows Media Player which I have to use when I buy files from passalong.com which selss songs in wma/drm format and sometimes in mp3 format. Are you as exhausted as I am writing about this? hahahaha. Can't wait for this drm nightmare to be over!

Hi Clifford, When I go to real.com they talk about rhapsody, and when I go to rhapsody they refer to real. I'm wondering if they work together and that perhaps it doesn't make any difference which one you use. Having said that, however, the only thing I seem to be able to get into on rhapsody is the screen where it has all the explanations of what everything is. But I can't seem to actually bring up the music guide or the my account to set up my genres and search for specific music. If I ever get things set up properly, it might be alright. But right now it's a real pain. Kris 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: Frustrated with Rhapsody
You can use rhapsody but not all of it, for example, I was never able to burn directly using rhapsody but I used the cd burner in realplayer instead. It's the same with transferring songs to a mp3 player, but again you can easily use realplayer. It isn't easy to use rhapsody. It requires a lot of use of the virtual cursor so called in jfw or mouse keys in window-eyes. I used it for years until I couldn't justify the cost per month any more. - Original Message - From: Kris Hickerson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, July 23, 2007 4:29 PM Subject: Re: Frustrated with Rhapsody Hi Clifford, When I go to real.com they talk about rhapsody, and when I go to rhapsody they refer to real.

Chris, Bring up Real Player then hit alt+v to bring up the View menu. Arrow down to Music Store and hit enter. That will bring up the Real Music Store and you can register and purchase music. They are highly related systems, but I've found the Real Player Music Store much easier to use. Let me know if you need more help.

Re: Frustrated with Rhapsody
Yeah, I'm with you guys. I'm not a fan of subscription services anyhow. The way I get to the real music store is to go to real.com, I use JAWS, so I press insert plus F7 and press the letter R five times or until I hear Real music store, and then it's not hard to register, if I recall. Just another way to get there.

Frustrated with Rhapsody
Hi All, I have established my user id and password with Rhapsody, but now I want to select the service I would like and am having a great deal of trouble with that. Also, I find searching for artists or songs very difficult whether I use the jaws or pc cursor. I would take a subscription, but I probably only need around a dozen downloads a year so I would rather pay as I go. Is that possible with Rhapsody? Can anyone give me any tips for making this service more accessable? Thanks much.

Hi, Doc. Yes, Rhapsody only uses wma format. However, you can play the files in RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, or Rhapsody itself. I'd pay good money if they'd fix Winamp so it could play protected files. I'd buy the pro version then.

Terri: Making Rhapsody Work
I respect your desire to download music legally. Rhapsody is partially accessible and can work for you with a little trial and error. You must know how to use your screenreader though, or you will become frustrated very quickly. I don't mean this to sound rude. I'm serious about it though because it takes some time, patience, and skill to make this or a program like Napster work properly. I use Jaws, so that is what I will describe. Scripting could make this program dance, but I don't know how to do it. If what I've said doesn't make sense, let me know and we can try going through it over Skype if you like. First, load Rhapsody and go into the Jaws configuration manager to make a file for Rhapsody. This will make your life easier. Go to the HTML settings and go to the tab about headings and frames. Make sure it announces that you're entering and leaving frames and that it speaks headings for you. Under the misc tab, make sure it reads element attributes and also turn off flash movies. Save the config file and you're ready to have a go at this. Once Rhapsody is installed and you sign in, your PC cursor won't move around. Route your Jaws cursor to pc and begin reading the screen with your Jaws cursor. Once you see something that says browse genres or staff picks, click on that with the Jaws key for the left mouse button. This will bring the window into focus and will put it all in the virtual cursor. After that, you can read the site like a web page. If you have to tab away from the Rhapsody window to answer a message or something, you will have to repeat this step to get Jaws to read in virtual cursor mode again. Now that it's reading like a web page, you can search for songs or artists, or you can browse genres just like on a web site. Once you find a song you want to listen to, you have two choices. Above the song title, you will find two graphical buttons. One says play and the other says download. Playing is easiest for us. If you want to download songs, choose download and let a few minutes go by. You cannot see the download progress with Jaws, and the Rhapsody library is only marginally useful. The solution to playing downloaded music is to use Windows Media Player to actually listen to your downloaded tunes. By default, Rhapsody puts your downloaded music in your My Music folder in the My Documents folder on your machine. Once you've downloaded to your heart's content, exit Rhapsody and load Media Player to sort or play your tunes.

I don't know, that's a new feature they've recently added that my girlfriend discovered, she's sighted and she doesn't know how she did it. but usually you just add stuff to your library and stream it when you start rhapsody. but so far none of the menues are accessible. butI still love the service.

When you hear the word artist, click on it. Window-eyes should just say combo box. Do a shift-tab and go back to the search edit box. It will only be one shift-tab. If you don't have to change your search from artist you just write what you want in the text box and hit return.

Re: rhapsody
yeah, that's probably the same thing. because comcast has a link on i't's page called comcast-rhapsody, I didn't know what it was so went to it and found out. they have a freee trial thing that you can check out. I think it's `worth it, but it's dam annoying as well. the quality is perfect, it's fast, and pretty accomidating they claim to have the largest music base, over 30,000 artists, and so on and so on. and with the use of total recorder you can record stuff at an accelerated rate. unfortunately total recorder doesn't support their title bar or whatever, I keep meaning to write to them to find out if they are planning to support it in the future. weren't able to get it to do anything? so you downloaded the prog right? you have to use your jaws cursor to left click on something so that when you take the jaws cursor off you'll be using the virtual cursor to go down the page like any other webpage.

Using Rhapsody.
Hi folks. I just subscribed to Real Rhapsody, and find it amazing. I am able to get around pretty well using virtual cursor mode in Jaws. I found that ctrl+b moves you backward through a play list, ctrl+f moves you forward, ctrl+p plays and pauses, ctrl+s stops a track, etc. Has anyone else found any other keystrokes or other tips for using rhapsody with a screen reader? Thanks. Jeremy ___ 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]

Let me point out that once you get past the opening screen, you are able to search select artists albums. That portion of the service is like any standard web page.

Hi Tim this is great. I do use Window Eyes but when I tried this, I used Jaws and only briefly tried it with Win Eyes as a non Win Eyes user.

Subject: Re: inquiring about Rhapsody Well, what I had was 2.1 build 0.215 but I did a check for update and got 2.1 build 0.227. It appears to be as accessible, but you have to do a few tricks. For instance, if you want to search for a song and you haven't labeled graphics, and just let me say I'm speaking in Window-eyes terms as I don't own JFW, you would use your virtual mouse, go to the bottom of the window, move up by line until something is spoken (by that I mean non-graphic) and left click on it. You're then put in a browser window which you can navigate like normal. If you find what you want and save the album or track to your library you will be put back in to the first screen. The thing about the first window is you initiate everything with the mouse. Let's say you want to pick something out of your library. First you would find your library list with the mouse keys. Then you would left click on any artist. After that you can use your regular arrow keys. You are in a tree view like Windows Explorer. Moving up and down moves through the artists. When you're on the artist you want, hit your right arrow twice and you'll be on the list of albums of the artist you selected. If you haven't saved any albums then you'll be on a list of tracks by that artist. If you want to add the album or track to the play list, route your mouse to the pc cursor and do a right click. There'll be a list of things you can do which you navigate with the mouse keys. When you get to what you want, say, play now, just left click on it. Your playlist window is below the library window. I can only get to it with the mouse keys. You can tell when you get to it because you'll hear track, then you'll start hearing track names instead of artists. On any track in the playlist just right click and again there'll be a list of things you can do with the track or the playlist. Some things to remember, you need to find the CD burning graphic. The one to the left or above it will put you back into playlist mode. When you're in playlist mode, anything you play will be added to the playlist, so you should clear your playlist once in a while. If you're navigating a list of albums and hit the right arror twice you'll be in a list of tracks for the album. Use the left arrow just like Windows Explorer to close the list. - Original Message - From: Marlaina Lieberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'PC audio discussion list.
