RE: How to record phone calls - How-To - PC Advisor
Reed I have some good news for you. I have found a device that might do the trick in the UK at http://retellrecorders.co.uk/product/call-recording-connector-142/ The postage to over here though is about the same as the original product though. But this will do exactly what we want.

The second side of the splitter holds the line to the phone. I have the other end of my tiny device plugged into my Bookport input jack. This works great when running my Bookport on battery power. When I use AC power for the Bookport, the AC hum is so loud as to render the recording useless. So, I really understand your issue. If you find a useable device, I'd love to hear about it. Another option for you might be to use a device that used to be available at Radio Shack that would reduce AC hum. You would plug this device into your AC plug on the wall, plug your recorder into this device and the AC hum was significantly reduced. I haven't looked for or heard of this device for years. So, I don't know if it is still available. Just another angle...

Re: A 2-part Question Concerning Converting A File To MP3
Hello Tom, wpl is a playlist file for windows media player. It contains filenames and paths for other media files. My understanding is that it does not contain audio content. If you open the file in windows media, does the audio play? If it does, then you need to see to which directory and files it is pointint at.

VLC FOR WINDOWS
Hi, I have just upgraded to the latest version of VLC for Windows running under Windows 10 and would appreciate it if someone could tell me what the shortcut keys are, please, for increasing and decreasing the volume. In the Audio menu, it lists them as ALT-I and ALT-D but I cannot get these to work for me! I have also tried ALT-up and down arrows and Control-up and down arrows but with no more joy!

The shortcut keys are ctrl-up and down arrow respectively but if you're using JAWS you'll have to press the inset-3 key first to pass the next key through.

Re: VLC FOR WINDOWS
Nothing like accidentally making a discovery , lost count of how many times I've done that so we'll have to accidentally discover some other features. I have a Logitech Gaming mouse here where the wheel not only rolls but can be moved from side-to-side ever so slightly - game controlling - so one wonders what might happen if I have VLC in focus and move the wheel from side-to-side? Probably and most likely nothing at all but it would be nice to think that VLC might go forward or backward through tracks or even forward and backward skipping through audio.

Re: A 2-part Question Concerning Converting A File To MP3
I think if its some music, you could right click the file and go to open with and find notepad (be sure the checkbox to always use this to open the file is NOT checked) and you will discover an ASCII file with probably an URL for the music if Windows Media Player will not play it directly. It was just a suggestion, not guaranteed, but playlist files are often like that.

RE: A 2-part Question Concerning Converting A File To MP3
Well I don't understand; this file is a piece of music that a friend of mine wanted to c heck out! So I'm not understanding how they got it to play...yet I cannot! All I know to do then is to write to them (they're not necessarily "computer sabby" so if I were to tell them something like "not the right file extension or "this is a "plalist thing"...they'd have no idea of what I mean! But thanks for the input.

Re: VLC FOR WINDOWS
Firstly you have to make sure the playlist is in view and then you can up/down using arrow keys through it, press enter to hear the song you've selected. Alternatively if you just want to go back and forth through a playlist in order you can use p and n keys - previous and next - to move, r turns on "Random" mode.
