Re: Locating Inputs On My computer's Soundcard
Hello list: Thanks to everyone who has responded to my inquiry aconcerning finding inputs on my computer; I think I understand now; if I want to hook up one of those little transmitters, I need tto run it through where my speakers are hooked up now..right? So I guess my next question would be..how do I locate where my speakers are hooked in? I seem to recall hearing that..it's not a good idea to go unhooking things..with the computer turned on! I do find a group of three wires; think one is for the mic, another for the monitor..and another for the speakers..but which one is which? And while I'm at it..where would my "line-in" jack be?

Fw: FTP Internet and Technology News MPAA targets core BitTorrent, eDonkey users
Hope this isn't "off-topic"..it was posted on another list that I'm on..and since I know that a lot of you dable in recording CDs and DVD's..thought it might be of interest. Tom Kaufman December 14, 2004 10:08 PM Subject: FTP Internet and Technology News MPAA targets core BitTorrent, eDonkey users MPAA targets core BitTorrent, eDonkey users Published: December 14, 2004, 12:01 PM PST By John Borland Staff Writer, CNET News.com The Motion Picture Association of America launched a new legal campaign Tuesday targeting the BitTorrent and eDonkey file-swapping networks, two technologies widely used to trade movies online. Ratcheting up its previous online antipiracy efforts , the Hollywood group is working with law enforcement agencies in the United States and Europe to target and arrest individuals who play a critical role in the functioning of each type of network. Criminal actions have already been filed in Europe, including the seizure of seven Net-connected servers, with their operator still wanted by French police, a representative of the French government said. The legal actions mark a strong new attack on peer-to-peer networks, which have continued to thrive over the past several years despite lawsuits against software developers and individuals. "These people are parasites, leeching off the creative activity of others," said John Malcolm, the MPAA's director of worldwide antipiracy operations. They "serve as traffic cops connecting those who want to steal movies with those who have a copy and want to provide it." The cross-border legal actions mark a strong new attack on peer-to-peer networks, which have continued to thrive over the past several years despite lawsuits against software developers and nearly 7,000 individuals accused of trading copyrighted music online. BitTorrent and eDonkey each have grown rapidly over the past two years, threatening to become to the movie industry what Napster initially was to the record labels. Each technology is designed specifically to speed downloads of very large files, and has been used widely to distribute full-length movies, computer games and software. BitTorrent in particular has become a recent concern for Hollywood companies desperate to stop video piracy before it cuts into their soaring DVD sales revenues. The threat of potential criminal penalties substantially raises the stakes for those helping to distribute a film using the technology, in what the studios hope will be a more effective deterrence than previous actions. According to Net monitoring firm BayTSP, eDonkey recently passed up Kazaa as the most popular file-swapping network in the world, measured by number of users. Other network monitors have said that BitTorrent has long been the most popular measured by the amount of data transferred between users. Who's being sued? Understanding exactly who has been targeted in the latest peer-to-peer dragnet requires a little understanding of how each network works, however. In the early days of Napster, a central server operated by that company kept a huge index of all content available on the network and where it was located, matching downloaders with people who had a particular piece of content. The recording industry was able to successfully sue Napster after judges said that a centrally operated index made the company legally responsible for piracy on the network. Record labels and movie studios then sued a second generation of file-swapping companies, which offered decentralized services in which the traffic-directing role was played by individual users' computers, rather than a central server. Judges said those companies are not legally responsible for their users' actions, and the entertainment companies have appealed that decision all the way to the Supreme Court. eDonkey has been a hybrid of those two types of systems. In its early days, individual users maintained Napster-like central servers that managed traffic on the network. Many people still use that older version of the technology; it is the operators of those servers that the MPAA is now targeting. However, the creators of the eDonkey software said most searches are now done using the newer, wholly decentralized software. "eDonkey doesn't rely on central servers anymore, so taking them offline won't effect the network adversely," said eDonkey creator Jed McCaleb. "The servers are only used to connect with old and third-party clients. The BitTorrent difference BitTorrent works completely differently. In that system, individuals who want to share a file prep it for distribution, creating a "torrent" file that uniquely identifies the content and tells computers how to get it. That resulting how-to file can be spread around the Net, posted on Web sites, or spread through chat networks like the Internet Relay Chat. Included in this torrent file is information about how to get to a

Fw: FTP Internet and Technology News New CD copy-lock technology nears market
Might be of interest to some of us out there! Subject: FTP Internet and Technology News New CD copy-lock technology nears market New CD copy-lock technology nears market Published: December 16, 2004, 4:00 AM PST By John Borland Staff Writer, CNET News.com A new kind of copy-protected music CD will likely hit U.S. shelves early next year, as record label SonyBMG experiments with a technology created by British developer First 4 Internet, according to sources familiar with the companies. Several major music labels have already used a version of the British company's technology on prerelease compact discs distributed for review and other early-listening purposes, including on recent albums from Eminem and U2. The releases for the retail market, expected early in 2005, will be the first time the Sony music label issues copy-protected CDs in the U.S. market, although the company's other divisions have done so in other regions. BMG, Sony's new corporate sibling, has been more aggressive, with a handful of protected CDs released last year. "We have always focused on a high level of protection, but we've waited until there aren't any playability issues." --Mathew Gilliat-Smith, CEO, First 4 Internet A SonyBMG representative declined to comment on the plans. First 4 Internet Chief Executive Officer Mathew Gilliat-Smith confirmed that his company plans to release a consumer version of its technology with one major label in the United States, but he declined to identify the label. Gilliat-Smith said his company has been waiting to improve its technology. Better-known companies Macrovision and Sunncomm have seen sporadic--and sometimes controversial--use of their products on CDs released around the world. "We're not keen to rush," Gilliat-Smith said. "We have always focused on a high level of protection, but we've waited until there aren't any playability issues." The new SonyBMG experiments are a further sign that copy protection on music CDs may be moving closer to the mainstream U.S. market. The practice is much more common in European and Asian markets. For several years, the major record labels have sought a way to protect CDs against unrestricted copying and "ripping," or transforming songs into files such as MP3s that can be swapped widely online. Early experiments proved unpopular, prompting reports that the discs could not play in certain kind of stereos, or might even damage computers . The past year has seen resurgent signs of interest from the major labels, however. A watershed moment in the United States came when the BMG-released Velvet Revolver album reached the top of the industry's sales charts , despite being clearly marked as copy-protected. Industry insiders said that helped assuage some boardroom concerns about potential consumer backlash. Questions remain about the appropriate technology to use, however. The copy protection from Sunncomm, used by BMG in the United States, could be fairly easily disabled simply by pressing a computer's Shift key while the CD was loading, for example. That issue has been fixed in the company's most recent version of its products. It also may be a tricky job to make rules associated with copy-protected discs match those associated with songs purchased from online stores such as Napster or Apple Computer's iTunes. Those stores allow their customers to burn CDs that can then be copied without restriction; by contrast some labels want to limit the number of times a copied CD can be duplicated again--a technology called " secure burning ." First 4 Internet's entry into the market marks a potentially new twist on the basic technology, however. The company got its start by offering a tool to identify pornographic images in Web sites and e-mails, and selling the technology to Web-filtering companies for their own products. The company has been working on the disc-protection technology since 2001, following conversations with the EMI record label, Gilliat-Smith said. The technology wraps ordinary song files in strong encryption, but in a way that still allows regular CD players to read them. Another part of the disc contains data files that help improve protection. The company has worked particularly closely on prereleases in the U.S. market with Universal Music. First 4 Internet's U.S. representative said the copy-protection technology has been included on a number of extremely high-profile CDs while in the review and demo stage, without being broken. "Could it be broken? I'm sure that somebody must be able to do it," said Graham Oakes, the head of Los Angeles-based Ezee Studios, which represents First 4 Internet. "But is there a generally known hack that has been put on the Net, or have any of the record label IT people found a hack yet? No." Analysts remain skeptical that labels will ultimately launch copy-protected discs on a widespread level in the United States, citing continued consumer opposition and the delicate technological balancing act between strong prote
Fw: FTP Internet and Technology News Record Industry Sues 754 for Internet Song Swaps
Subject: FTP Internet and Technology News Record Industry Sues 754 for Internet Song Swaps Record Industry Sues 754 for Internet Song Swaps Thu Dec 16, 2004 04:04 PM ET By Andy Sullivan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A recording industry trade group said Thursday that it has filed another wave of lawsuits against 754 people it suspects of distributing songs over the Internet without permission. The Recording Industry Association of America has now sued more than 7,000 people for distributing its songs over "peer to peer" networks like eDonkey and Kazaa, in an effort to discourage the online song copying that it believes has cut into CD sales. The RIAA typically settles copyright infringement suits for around $5,000 each. Despite more than a year of headline-grabbing lawsuits, peer-to-peer use has not declined. An average of 7.5 million users were logged on to peer-to-peer networks in November 2004, up from 4.4 million in November 2003, according to the research firm BigChampagne. The four major labels -- Vivendi Universal, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, EMI Group Plc and privately held Warner Music -- have recently begun to license their songs to a new generation of online services as a way to slash distribution costs and reach out to fans. But recording-industry officials remain at loggerheads with software makers like Grokster and Morpheus that allow users to freely copy their songs. "With legal online retailers still forced to compete against illegal free networks, the playing field remains decidedly unbalanced," said RIAA president Cary Sherman in a statement. Courts so far have declined to declare peer-to-peer software makers like Grokster and Morpheus illegal because, like a photocopier, they do not permit copyright infringement but merely make it possible. The Supreme Court will hear the entertainment's case against Grokster and Morpheus in March. The latest round of lawsuits included students at Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, Old Dominion University and Virginia Commonwealth University. Under pressure form the RIAA, many schools have taken steps to limit file sharing and at least 20 schools give students free access to industry-sanctioned download services like Roxio Inc.'s Napster. The RIAA does not yet know the names of those it has sued, only the numerical addresses used by their computers. The trade group typically finds out suspects' identities from their Internet service providers during the legal proceedings. Copyright Reuters 2004. All Rights Reserved.

Hooking Up An FM Transmitter
Hello and Happy New Year to all you good folks: I received one of those FM transmitters from /C-Crane for Christmas. Now..I need to know..where it is that I can plug it in! I don't have any "output" jacks on mycomputer; I have a plug where the speaker is; below that is an "input" jack..and below that is where the microphone plugs in. Okay..stupid question time: am I correct in assuming that plugging the transmitter into the "input" jack of the computer won't work? If it would, it'd solve a problem as..like I mentioned earlier..the computer doesn't have a "line out"; it just has a "line in!" So does that mean that I must use the speaker jack? Thanks for your help; you may remember..I'm the guy that..a little while back..was looking to find where my jacks were located; I've located themm..but am unsure of where would be the appropriate place to put the FM transmitter!

Shannon: Got bad new for you..well..maybe not too bad; we've just been exploring this thing; when you get your "toy" if it's like mine, you'll find that the splitter that comes with it only has one female plug; you'll need two! I really thought I was in business when I found the splitter. Then I discovered..much to my dismay..if I unplug my speaker, I still only have one place to plug in to! Hope this makes sense..or maybe I'm confused!

Re: Looking for XM users
Hello list..and to Jim..XM has..in my opinion..a good selection of programming. However..as far as my part goes..as far as the "on line" version goes"..I would tell you that..unless you have a little bit of vission, don't bother; it's just about totally inaccessable..at least with Jaws 3.7u; I have heard people that have newer versions of Jaws say that they have a little better luck with it. I have the "on line" version. But I have just enough vision that I can click on what I need (also sometimes using "Magic"..that I can use it.

Question About Winamp And MP4 Files
Hello list: Am wondering if there's a way to get Winamp to play the video of an MP4 file? I got a video the other night; if I just click it as is, it comes up in Winamp; only thing is that it plays only the audio! I can see the video if I have it play in something like VLC (and that's fine) but was just wondering if I could make Winamp play the video as well and if so, how is it done? Thanks, Tom Kaufman

Hello J M: Yes...I feel the same way about Winamp as you; I, too, have seen Winamp play videos, but am wondering if those videos were originally WMP files (Winamp _will_ play those!

Let me just say that I love winamp and have used it for almost fifteen years now, with no sign of stopping... But only for audio. I have never quite been able to figure out why winamp seems to play some videos and not others. There are some codec issues and searching the internet for certain codecs (depending on the type of encoding...which you can't always tell from the extension, you have to look at the video info) has increased the number of videos winamp will play just fine, but there are some files I've just never been able to get to play. Sometimes there's no video, sometimes neither video or audio. VLC on the other hand will play every video I've ever encountered without a hitch or without any hunting around on the net for obscure codec packs.

RE: Question About Winamp And MP4 Files
Another thing that Winamp is now doing since I downloaded what I thought was the essentials pack: when I open Winamp, it immediately starts playing one of my files! It's not supposed to do this, is it? Could it be that I have downloaded the wrong thing?

RE: Question About Winamp And MP4 Files
I went into Programs and features and it would appear that I have Winamp Essentials pack Christop (at least that's as best as I can remember about what it says) I did nothing in the options, but almost ever since I've downloaded and installed this program, Winamp will come up playing something; I also notice two windows...the regular Winamp window as well as this other window! I've noticed that with some files, there is a picture (not a video...but a picture like maybe of nan album cover or something? In any case, the video I want Winamp to play still doesn't! So maybe there's something I have to do in order to tell it I want it to play this video? Or maybe I should just uninstall this pack as I'm not sure that this is what I need! Advice and information will be appreciated!

Can't tell that it really says anything!

RE: Question About Winamp And MP4 Files
After looking at the thread you sent me, I am very much inclined to agree; it's just that I knew that I've seen Winamp play videos before and was thinking that maybe there was a way to get Winamp to do so as many of my friends also use Winamp and possibly don't have VLC!

A Question Concerning Videos
Hello once again list: I know that this list is primarily an "audio" list, but I wonder if any of you out there know of any video editing programs that us visually impaired users can use? I have some videos on a flash drive (one of them is the one I've been talking about here of late) these videos were taken with an Android phone and turned out well; only problem: he shot the darned things sideways! My computer tech was able to convert one of the videos, using a program called Free Video Flip And Rotate. This did the job that we wanted it to do (this video now plays right=-side-up as we want it to look! But it would be nice to get all of these videos fixed without me not having to call on my friend to do it (Free Video Flip And Rotate is not really "blind-friendly!" I'm not really expecting that I'm going to find much here; after all, why would a blind person want to try and edit a video, right? Aw but since I do have a minimal bit of vision, if I had the right tool that would work for me, I could probably fix these videos to make them look like they ought to look, instead of appearing sideways! So if any of you know of such a program that will do this for me; one that is "blind-friendly" I'd certainly like to know about it! Thanks in advance! Tom Kaufman

I'd like to explain a bit more about my earlier response in case it helps Kelly. I was editing a four hour MP3 file over the weekend, and I was finding everything to be very sluggish including moving through the file with PGUP and PGDN. Since I had worked with some other large files in SF 11 I wondered what had changed. It turned out that I had generally worked with WAV files before. I saved my MP3 file as a WAV file and worked on it in that format and much of the sluggishness I was experiencing was gone. Of course, converting an MP3 file to WAV doesn't make it sound any better, but it did make a large difference in my ability to move around in the file. It may be my imagination as it is not that easy to verify this, but I believe that saving a file takes longer in SF 11 than it did in SF 10 or before, but I could be experiencing something else, or it could be the added overhead that you mention. It has been my experience that heavy file activity can lock out screen readers or make them not responsive, so saving a file might be causing the appearance of loosing speech. Sometimes starting NVDA or Narrator can help one figure out what is happening.

Is there a good and simple program which will help me to remove commercials and to then join the file back together minus the commercials? I have heard the MP3 direct recording but am not real sure how to make markers, etc., so if someone has an easier solution I would appreciate info. Joanne
RE: jaws friendly program for cutting out commercials
Yep...that MP3 Direct Cut is just about the greatest thing (in my opinion) since sliced bread when it comes to taking unwanted parts out of files! I sometimes wish I had a quicker way of doing it (MP3 Direct Cut does provide a way for that) I just haven't figured it out yet! But it's a good program and will let Joanne do what she wants to do!

RE: jaws friendly program for cutting out commercials
If I understand you correctly, you definitely can do that! Run your file through MP3 Direct Cut; find the place in the file you'd like to make a new file out of...and go to work!

I would like to create a file of music from parts of the same file. Do you know if there is a way to do that?. -Original Message- From: Tom Kaufman Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 1:59 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: jaws friendly program for cutting out commercials Yep...that MP3 Direct Cut is just about the greatest thing (in my opinion) since sliced bread when it comes to taking unwanted parts out of files!

How Do I Tell My Computer I Want Winamp To Play The CD?
Hello list: I've just received a CD that I want to play; normally, Winamp goes ahead and plays it; at least it used to be that Windows would ask me what I wanted to do! But now, Express rip insists on coming up.and there seems to be _no way_ to stop it! When it comes up, I can't just close it out and go on; it insists on me telling it whether I want to certify that this is an unsilenced CD.or whatever! Am running Windows 7-64 bit; running Jaws 15. Any help or information will be much appreciated! Thanks, Tom Kaufman
RE: How Do I Tell My Computer I Want Winamp To Play The CD?
Dan and list: I'm getting screwed up somehow; I'm doing what I think you told me to do, but get entirely different results! I can get to the first part "set defaults"...but then you are telling me to press "enter"...but what I get is just a thing that says "link!! So I must be doing it wrong or am losing something in the translation!

In the start menu search box type set default. The first entry should be "set your default programs". Press enter. Then press enter on default programs. Tab until you hear "click to open default programs". Tab until you hear "set your default programs" and press enter. Tab once and you should have a list of all your installed programs. Arrow down until you find winamp. Tab until you hear "choose defaults for this program" and press enter. . Tab until you have a list of file types. Arrow down until you find CD and check the box.

RE: How Do I Tell My Computer I Want Winamp To Play The CD?
Okay...I tried what you said; still no soap! When I got to ..CD" (it says "not checked) so I tried to check it with space bar...nothing doing! So I figured I'd try it anyhow. Good ole CD Express Rip insists on coming up anyway! So what have I not done?

I think perhaps I made this harder than it should be. If you type set default into the start menu search box the first result you should see is set default programs. Press enter and tab once to see a list of your programs. Arrow down to winamp and tab to the choose defaults button and press enter. Then you can tab until you see a list of file types. Arrow down until you find the CD and check the box. Then tab to the save button. I hope this clarifies things a little. My apologies for the previously convoluted post.
