Re: itunes error, 11,222
Hi! The best thing anyone can do at this point - if at all possible - is to uninstall iTunes and use another piece of software to play audio. I've been working on a clients computer for a good while trying to fix problems with iTunes and - if it weren't for the fact that its required in this situation - I'd dump it completely.

Re: iTunes and Other Music Services
Dane, There seems to be some confusion between iTunes the software and the iTunes division at Apple. The company puts all its music efforts in this division, whether or not it calls them iTunes. When it bought Beats Music, Apple signaled that it definitely wants to shake up its music offering. We will see how this plays out in the next year or two. Kelly On 9/30/14, Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net wrote: so as to avoid any confusion, iTunes really has nothing whatever to do with an iPhone 6 or any other iPhone model for that matter given that - the version of iTunes that appears on an iPhone - is dependent on the IOS running at the time - in the case of an iPhone 6 that IOS would most certainly be IOS 8 and above -. Is iTunes falling behind the times? It would be if people stopped using it which they're obviously not but I do understand where you're coming from and I think it likely that Apple will merge or form alliances with other Music service, I think Apple bought one recently. On 1 Oct 2014, at 10:40 am, Kelly Pierce kellyt...@gmail.com wrote: I had no illusions that audio on the iPhone 6 would be lackluster. iTunes is falling behind in innovation with online music services severely out innovating Apple. Apple CEO Tim Cook knew he had an iTunes problem and had to do something different in music for Apple to stay cool. Apple bought Beats Music in part to modernize its music offerings beyond the suburban bland mediocrity that is now iTunes. Beats was acquired in the spring, too early to be incorporated into iOS8 or the iPhone of 2014, the features of which are developed and designed many months in advance. I believe it will be until the 2015 introduction of the new iOS and iPhones will we see what the new people and change in culture will mean for Apple users. One big way for Apple to differentiate itself would be to re-establish the company’s supremacy in online and portable music. I am looking forward to iOS 9 and the iPhone of 2015 to learn about any changes in audio from Apple on mobile devices.

Unfortunately, the microphone that the uploader was using wasn't super high quality, but it was certainly decent enough to detect the levels of bass between the 5 and 6.

There is a download button at the bottom of the checkboxes. Enter on that and it will open a new site and ask if you want to save the file.

Re: Itunes
I can understand why that is and its probably not a good idea to play about with your iTunes library with other pieces of software. Not only does iTunes keep the music organised in separate folders - optional - but it also keeps a database of what you've downloaded, what you've bought, what you've imported and so on. It may be that if other pieces of software start fiddling with things then the library becomes out of sync according to the iTunes database.

RE: Itunes
There is, but it's purpose is to bring copies of external music files into iTunes. It doesn't re-examine files iTunes already knows about but may have been moved or changed by Windows or other programs, as, for instance, the Winamp re-scan function does. I think most other players with a library can do that. The lack of it in iTunes is something that has been complained about for years by iTunes users. The suspicion is that Apple keeps it that way to discourage people from using other players and making them stick to iTunes. Many people lose access to lots of their music files and never really realise why because of this.

Re: ITunes Player
Yes I can understand where you're coming from there, iTunes is not my main player, I use VLC to play CD'S and just about everything else given that VLC allows for better quality audio as it uses its own audio decoders and encoders, can easily play a wider variety of formats etc. Where itunes comes into its own is - as I think you were illuding to - its online integration with the store, Internet Radio, I use the Match and iTunes radio music services often and so forth. It used to be that earlier versions of iTunes supported external plug-ins , at one time you could play FLAC format etc with iTunes but that ability seems to have gone which is a shame, guess the only saving grace that FLAC - being a lossless audio format - can be converted to Lossless M$a format which iTunes will play happily.

Re: ITunes Player
Well, I'm not in a position to be able to use an audio system. My PC and the headphones I use to listen to music are my audio system. So the only bass and treble controls I have are in whatever player I use to play music. Hence my concern with an equalizer. I do intend to check out iTunes at some point. I've heard many good things about it, but I'm in no hurry. Unless some new audio format comes along with content that I really really want to listen to, or I get a new PC with an OS that doesn't support Winamp, I think I'll stick with it for a while yet.

RE: ITunes Player
I don't think you understand; while these players may be accessible, will they allow one to do _all_ the things that Winamp does? Wil they, for example, start listening to a file; then you have to stop in the middle; will they let you go in and pick up right where you left off? Windows Media Player won't; at least as far as I know it won't! Can't speak for some of the others as I've not tried them! But this is my concern as I want to be able to start listening to a show and be able to stop it; then go to the point where I stopped listening later on! If these other players will do this easily, fine!

Re: ITunes Player
Itunes certainly has an equaliser though I'm not sure how many bands are featured. This is only me but the playing of files and formats and accessibility is more important to me than equalisers, if worst comes to worst and you're into that sort of thing then you can adjust bass and treble controls on your audio system.

Re: ITunes Player
Yes you can. I don't have iTunes myself, but I've been to sites that have links to listen to streams that are marked iTunes and (often) Winamp, both mentioned for the same stream. For example, you can set your Shoutcast streams to play in iTunes. Sometimes they're mentioned in separate links, but it's the same address. For instance, The Legend Oldies has a link to listen in Winamp and another for iTunes, but they're the same stream. I know because when I click on the link to play the iTunes stream, it plays in Winamp, and the bookmark is the same address.

Re: ITunes Player
I can assure you that iTunes and VLC have Graphic Equalisers in them and I would imagine that Windows Media Player would have similar, some sound cards and the Windows sound system itself usually offer bass and treble controls though how accessible these may be can very much depend on the sound card you're using. Only me of course but when I'm listening through headphones I've certainly never found it necessary to use an equaliser, flat is good enough but I appreciate that everyone is different. On 22/11/2013 3:38 AM, Evan Reese wrote: Well, I'm not in a position to be able to use an audio system. My PC and the headphones I use to listen to music are my audio system. So the only bass and treble controls I have are in whatever player I use to play music. Hence my concern with an equalizer. I do intend to check out iTunes at some point. I've heard many good things about it, but I'm in no hurry. Unless some new audio format comes along with content that I really really want to listen to, or I get a new PC with an OS that doesn't support Winamp, I think I'll stick with it for a while yet.

I don't have iTunes myself, but I've been to sites that have links to listen to streams that are marked iTunes and (often) Winamp, both mentioned for the same stream. For example, you can set your Shoutcast streams to play in iTunes. Sometimes they're mentioned in separate links, but it's the same address. For instance, The Legend Oldies has a link to listen in Winamp and another for iTunes, but they're the same stream. I know because when I click on the link to play the iTunes stream, it plays in Winamp, and the bookmark is the same address.

Firstly, with the sidebar hidden in iTunes 11, which is the default after installing, I can see my phone, and the selection of radio buttons to show music, movies, films, apps, tones, summary and info, but not books. If, however, I unhide the sidebar, the 'books' radio button becomes visible to Jaws and all is well. Now, when I activate the books radio button I get taken, as would be expected, to the options relating to how books should be transferred to my phone. I have the tick box to sync audio books ticked, and the radio button to sync selected audio books checked. All fine so far. Now, here's where the problem arises. Previously, immediately following the radio button to sync selected audio books, there was a tree view of all the audio books in my iTunes library. I simply ticked the books I wanted copied to my phone, and unticked books that I wanted removed, tabbed to sync, and all was done. Now however, when I press tab, I am told, audio 2.5GB, but no list of books to select what to copy and what not to. I can of course view my books in the main library view and copy them one at a time, but surely this is not the only way to transfer selected audio books anymore? Any help will be much appreciated.

You need to find out if your Windows computer is 32 or 64 bit; this will determine what you need as far as that download is concerned.

Re: Itunes, just starting out
Okay, so I'm using Jaws 8 point something at the moment, so iI have no idea if that will work with the latest version of ITunes. Should I decide to experiment with it, are there any tricks I s hould know to make using ITunes any easier? As I said, all I want to do is buy material I can't buy anywhere else, convert it to mp3, and play it on portable devices that play standard MP3. Yes, I know there are higher quality files out there, but my ears don't mind. I really appreciate the help! Peace, Kathy There is more to life than increasing it's speed.

Re: Itunes, just starting out
Hi Amie and Kathy. Not too sure about JAWS 8 and 10 but I would think it would cope easily with the older versions of Itunes, 8.0 and 8.1. I used JAWS 9 with Itunes 8.1 for a long time and am now still using Itunes 8.1 but with JAWS 11. Itunes has been improved, particularly with access to the store, in recent versions ov 9.X so I would suggest trying the latest version and maybe uninstalling and going back to one of the older versions if there's too many issues. I've also pasted some details for an alternative way of accessing he Itunes store that maybe worth trying. I'd have to say though that I haven't tried this myself so can't vouch for it personally. There are also details for joining the portable player list at the end of the details which you may be interested in. Regards. Kevin Hey all; found this last night and was pretty impressed. How many of you hate having to open iTunes just to access the store? It turns out that someone has written a google app that takes the cryptic xml that the store is written in and converts it to normal html. If that went completely over your head, it means that your now able to access the iTunes stores through your web browser of choice. http://app-store.appspot.com I played with this last night with ie 7 and supernova 11.5 and was very impressed with the accessibility of the pages. The nice thing is that if you want to preview a track for example, you don't even have to open up iTunes to do this. The preview file shows up as a file download dialog and your able to play the downloaded files in vlc and I'm assuming winamp as well. Hopefully this will help someone.

Thank you Kevin. This is really encouraging.

Not too sure about JAWS 8 and 10 but I would think it would cope easily with the older versions of Itunes, 8.0 and 8.1. I used JAWS 9 with Itunes 8.1 for a long time and am now still using Itunes 8.1 but with JAWS 11. Itunes has been improved, particularly with access to the store, in recent versions ov 9.X so I would suggest trying the latest version and maybe uninstalling and going back to one of the older versions if there's too many issues. I've also pasted some details for an alternative way of accessing he Itunes store that maybe worth trying. I'd have to say though that I haven't tried this myself so can't vouch for it personally. There are also details for joining the portable player list at the end of the details which you may be interested in. Regards. Kevin Hey all; found this last night and was pretty impressed. How many of you hate having to open iTunes just to access the store? It turns out that someone has written a google app that takes the cryptic xml that the store is written in and converts it to normal html. If that went completely over your head, it means that your now able to access the iTunes stores through your web browser of choice. http://app-store.appspot.com I played with this last night with ie 7 and supernova 11.5 and was very impressed with the accessibility of the pages. The nice thing is that if you want to preview a track for example, you don't even have to open up iTunes to do this.

Re: Itunes, just starting out
Suggest you go to Brian Hartgen's web page- www.tandt-consultancy.com and look at his scripts for JAWS, called J-tunes. To hear podcasts about JAWS and I-tunes, go to Freedom Scientific's web site- www.hj.com and look for their podcast which is called F S cast. The January 2010 or February 2010 podcast is about Jaws and I-tunes. There are other podcasts about it that you can find by doing a search in google using the terms- hartgen i-tunes If you have the patience to read a detailed description of i-tunes, largely written by Anna Dressner of National Braille Press, download the j-tunes user manual from www.tandt-consultancy.com Whilst it is about using the Jaws scripts, it does have very detailed descriptions of how i-tunes works and what you can do with it. The problem you will have is that you are using Jaws Version 8. I-tunes will talk for you without the J-tunes scripts but there are parts that you will find frustrating unless you know what I-tunes is actually doing. That is why I suggest that you read the J-tunes user manual. Hope this helps.

I think your best chance is the shareware software called nch switch. it's not so expensive and convert many audio formats. it can process directory trees also. I use convert to m4a , using the 200 vtr in cocoder settings, it's roughly equivalent to the audio quality on the itunes store.

RE: iTunes [was RE: ipod touch]
I am all for acquiring music and other files legally, but I don't have a strong opinion on DRM, other than I do resent it when DRM technologies prevents me from practicing my fair use rights. It hasn't effected me too much yet though. I use things like Rockbox on my portable media player and Sound taxi to copy media over to my portable media player for my own personal use. Amazon.com offers music in the MP3 format with no DRM, and as others have said, Apple and others are getting away from DRM.

I suspect that once you get used to iTunes, it provides a pretty easy and efficient way to manage your podcasts. I know quite a few sites have buttons you can click to add their podcasts to your iTunes subscriptions. I appreciate the work Apple has done on accessibility, and I understand that accessibility may not keep a company from being first to market with a new technology, but I kind of wonder what was so urgent in an update like iTunes 9 that kept them from getting the accessibility of the iTunes store right before they released iTunes 9. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Ray Sent: Saturday, September 19, 2009 10:44 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: iTunes [was RE: ipod touch] thanks Christopher.

Hi, If you can grab one, get a used ipod video.

Re: Itunes question
Hello Garry, you have to create a playlist to burn songs to. To do this, go into ITunes, press control N or select new playlist from the file pull-down. Then you can name the playlist. Then you need to select the songs you want to burn from the music folder and choose add to playlist in the context menu for each song. Next you will have a list of playlists to add the songs to. Select the playlist you want to use. After that, just select the playlist in the main ITunes window, press the context menu key and choose burn Playlist to disk. You will have some options to select such as whether you want an audio or data CD, whether you want all the songs to be the same volume and whether you want CD text included. Press enter on the burn button and it should burn. Hope this helps.

First, I usually use it with Bluetooth with some very nice Plantronics Bluetooth stereo headphones I got about 15 months ago, but yes, that does help drain one's battery, even if it's the higher-capacity one. Second, I'm not a fan of Windows Media Player, and that's all you get on WM6. Where the heck is Winamp for WM6 is what I want to know.

I think it's really all about choice. Some prefer to listen to their music on their phone, while others prefer to walk around and look stylish with their iPods. I don't Think any one choice is any better than the other, it's all in what the individual person likes. I'm glad apple have finally got themselves in a better place with accessibility, it's about damn time they did it on the hardware, and windows side of things.

Using your default system voice, say RealSpeak Daniel in SAPI 5 as an example, files are generated for every artist, song and album. These are then copied to your Nano so that as you move through the menus, albums and tracks, you can hear what these tracks are. So this is quite different from having real text to speech on the device itself, and emulates what the guys at Rockbox gave us quite some time ago, but is still commendable nonetheless.

RE: Itunes 8 now accessible
Hi all But one interesting question: I thought that the sound quality of smart phones and Windows Pocket devices was not as good as that of genuine mp3 players? If you connect a set of high quality headphones to both types, would you hear the difference?

Some prefer to listen to their music on their phone, while others prefer to walk around and look stylish with their iPods. I don't Think any one choice is any better than the other, it's all in what the individual person likes. I'm glad apple have finally got themselves in a better place with accessibility, it's about damn time they did it on the hardware, and windows side of things. The Mac users had it for a while so it's nice to see the Windows side of things getting a peace of the action. At 05:56 PM 9/10/2008, you wrote: Saqib, I completely agree with you. I have no need for a Nano when I have an N82. But I think the reason why iPods and other stand-alone playback devices are so big in North America is that they have nowhere near a strong a smartphone culture as Europe, Asia and other places.

Isn't it just easy enough to listen to music from your phone or preferred MP3 device. It's taken Apple so long to meet the VI sector half way with the accessibility issues. Their attitude was sod the blind and who ever can't access our devices or software. It's good that Apple are getting their head around the accessibility factor but this wasn't the case before. - Original Message - From: Jonathan Mosen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 9:37 PM Subject: RE: Itunes 8 now accessible Hi Stephen, I have not played with one so am going based on what I've read, but it appears that what happens is that when your nano is connected to your PC or Mac, a scan is made for all albums and songs on your nano. Using your default system voice, say RealSpeak Daniel in SAPI 5 as an example, files are generated for every artist, song and album. These are then copied to your Nano so that as you move through the menus, albums and tracks, you can hear what these tracks are. So this is quite different from having real text to speech on the device itself, and emulates what the guys at Rockbox gave us quite some time ago, but is still commendable nonetheless.

Does the Nano require you to install software to have speech? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan Mosen Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 3:56 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Itunes 8 now accessible Alex and all, the new iPod Nanos are sort of accessible but do not use text to speech. They use the technique Rockbox has used for around 5 years, where they use your default system voice on your PC/Mac to create files that live on the nano to announce menus, albums and songs. In terms of iTunes in Windows, iTunes 8 has implemented extensive use of Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA). Because of this, JAWS will be able to work well out of the box with iTunes once we enable MSAA support for iTunes in the next public beta of JAWS 10.

Re: Itunes 8 now accessible
In addition to what Steve said, I don't think you can make a broad statement about the sound quality of all cell phones and PDA's. There's no reason a cell phone couldn't have the exact same chips, hardware and algorithms found in a dedicated MP3 player. Some phones, like the Nokia N series, are proud of their sound quality. I personally don't use my cell phone, a Nokia N75, to do much listening to music, pod casts and books, but that's because of things like the battery life and the fact that I just find the Zen Stone with External Speaker to be so convenient and small, that I don't mind carry around another device. IMHO, it's all just personal preference and there's no right or wrong answer. The positive thing is that we as blind people are starting to have so many choices now.

Re: Itunes
Tim For which versions of iTunes and WE are those set files for? iTunes with ver 8 went through a major facelifting so those sets, if they are the old ones I am thinking of, aren't likely going to do anyone much good at this time and place. Note that Ver 8, when combined with WE7 or the Beta of JFW 10, is a vast improvement from a blind user standpoint over iTunes 7.
