Re: Sharing files from dropbox and voice dream reader

[Richard Turner]

I don't use FaceBook, so I am not sure if you can send attachments via 
FaceBook, but the only way I know of to send an audio file from Voice Dream 
Reader is to select export original file, rather than the share button.

Re: Apps to play classic country and bluegrass music

I suggest Accu radio. It is a free app with many genres and multiple subclasses 
within those. You cannot request a song or artist, but you can tell it not to 
play one again. It is fully accessible. Very, very few commercials and most of 
them are just three second self promotions.

Re: Putting music on an iPhone

[Evan Reese]

Thanks for this description.
I have an iPad Mini 4 with 128GB of memory, most of which is not yet filled, 
but I have more music than that, so I won't be able to fit all of my music 
on it. So I'll have to make selections of my favorites and leave some music 
out. This method sounds very simple and I'm going to try it out.

Hi Kelly,

Depending on how big somebody's iPhone is and how much music they have it 
may not be quite as simple as that since somebody may only want some of 
their music on the iPhone. Up until recently selecting particular artists or 
albums was not possible, but ti is possible again and you are correct, it is 
not that difficult. The basic steps are this:


1. Conect your phone and open iTunes
2. Activate the button for your device
3. Tab a couple of times until you get to the treeview which starts with 
"Summary" and arrow down to Music
4. Tab until you get to the checkbox for "Sync Music" and make sure it's 
checked, tab again until you find the options to either sync all music or to 
sync selected music. If you want to sync all music simply select this and 
then go to File > Devices and select to sync your device. If you want to 
sync selected music check this and then tab to whichever listview you want 
(genres, artists or albums, arrow down that list and select the ones you 
want to sync by pressing the spacebar on each one. When you are done tab to 
Apply or go via File > Devices > Sync.

Sieghard

As Sieghard said, when itunes is open press alt F to open the file menu, 
cursor down to add folder to library or add file to library then pres enter. 
a dialog box appears where the user needs to browse to the file or folder 
and select it.  for most people, albums are in folders and individual audio 
tracks are single files.  Have the folks having problems tried these basic 
steps?



Once added to the library, the audio files will synchronize to the iPhone 
when it is connected to the computer and iTunes is open.  What in the hell 
is there not to understand?

Just as Tom who did the Podcast I have not yet gotten the WiFi
sync/transfer to work, it may take a sighted person since you have to
first connect the iPhone and click on a "gear icon" which does not
seem to be accessible. This is sort of a settings area where you first
have to enable the wireless connection. It does state in the FAQ that
this feature is still in beta, but then again I never found iTunes
WiFi Sync to work very reliably or, if it worked, to be very fast.

I have checked for coupon codes and while there maybe better ones out
there, I did find one, "WELOVE7LABS" which when you enter it during
checkout (without the quotation symbols of course) will give you 5%
off, it is only $2, but then again $2 is better than $0.

Considering how many people dislike iTunes I am surprised this

Podcasts about it

and so on. Before I plunk down $40 (I assume that is US Dollars) or
$60 which is the offer if you want free lifetime upgrades I'd really
like to hear a Podcast done about it. I have tried too many of these
all with limitations or accessibility issues.

Re: query about Belkin splitter was: any good lightning head set recommendation

[Wayne Merritt]

Tara,
if I understand your question, the Belkin splitter has one lightning
plug and two lightning ports. If the keyboard could plug into one of
those lightning ports, then you could probably use it to charge and
use the keyboard at the same time. Otherwise, it doesn't sound like
it. Perhaps someone will or has created a similar splitter that can
let you connect different devices for a low price. I haven't regretted
my purchase of the Belkin Rock Star splitter in the last few months.

Good luck,
Wayne

 I have to strongly second Sieghard's recommendation of the Apple wired

 I've
 used both the lightning connector set that came with my iPhone 7 and an
 older 3.5mm set with the adapter on my iPhone 7 with great success. For
 the $30 cost, these wired earpods give me the best sound, fit, and
 control of any wired headset I've used and I've used plenty through the
 years. The control given by the remote button when reading a book is so
 convenient when I'm listening to a book while tooling around.

 I really like the Earpods that come with all iPhones, I guess you
 should
 have received a set of Earpods with Lightning connector with your
 iPhone
 7. They are also available as a separate purchase.
 I purchased a set to use at home with my iPhone 6S Plus just because I
 like to have a back-up in case my every-day pair breaks and I also was
 curious as to the sond quality of Lightning versus 3.5mm jack.
 For whatever it's worth my 50-year old ears hear maybe a very small
 quality improvement, but not that much. I definitely think the Earpods
 whether 3.5mm or Lightning are one of the best headset deals in that
 price range out there. I know there are some people say the Earpods
 don't

RE: Bluetooth headset

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Bluetooth headsets without delay/lag don't exist at this point. Some are better 
than others and I found that the price or bluetooth version have nothing to do 
with how good they are with respect to lag. I once bought a $200 Plantronics 
Backbeat Sense which had Bluetooth 4.0 and it sounded awesome and had wonderful 
controls, but the delay was litterally a full second or worse and I returned it.

Subject: Bluetooth headset

Hi list,

I was wondering if any one could give me a idea on the best bluetooth headset I 
can get. I have a awesome pair of bose sound link. They have unbelievable sound 
quality. I am looking for a second pair to use for typing. My only gripe is 
that majority of the headphones which are bluetooth are latency while typing. I 
do not use dictation for I do not want everyone hearing my text messages. I do 
not want to use a bluetooth keyboard for I feel it is quite intrusive and a 
pain to carry while out traveling.

Any recommendations I would sincerely appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Working with bookmarks on an iPhone

[Mary Otten]

OK, thanks, Billy. Obviously, even though I heard VoiceOver say bookmarks when 
I saved my page previously, it went into favorites. I never saw any other boxes 
or anything. So I went into favorites and deleted the bookmark and re-saved it 
through the share choice. Again, VoiceOver send bookmarks and this time I 
actually got the choice. It does save to favorites by default. And it's not at 
all clear that you have a choice. That is, when you get to favorites, it says 
"selected" without any indication that if you double tap there you will have 
other choices. But double tapping does in fact give you other choices. So, in 
my opinion, it's not particularly well done, but it does work.

RE: Putting music on an iPhone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Kelly,

Depending on how big somebody's iPhone is and how much music they have it may 
not be quite as simple as that since somebody may only want some of their music 
on the iPhone. Up until recently selecting particular artists or albums was not 
possible, but ti is possible again and you are correct, it is not that 
difficult. The basic steps are this:

1. Conect your phone and open iTunes
2. Activate the button for your device
3. Tab a couple of times until you get to the treeview which starts with 
"Summary" and arrow down to Music
4. Tab until you get to the checkbox for "Sync Music" and make sure it's 
checked, tab again until you find the options to either sync all music or to 
sync selected music. If you want to sync all music simply select this and then 
go to File > Devices and select to sync your device. If you want to sync 
selected music check this and then tab to whichever listview you want (genres, 
artists or albums, arrow down that list and select the ones you want to sync by 
pressing the spacebar on each one. When you are done tab to Apply or go via 
File > Devices > Sync.

Regards,
Sieghard

As Sieghard said, when itunes is open press alt F to open the file menu, cursor 
down to add folder to library or add file to library then pres enter.  a dialog 
box appears where the user needs to browse to the file or folder and select it. 
 for most people, albums are in folders and individual audio tracks are single 
files.  Have the folks having problems tried these basic steps?


Once added to the library, the audio files will synchronize to the iPhone when 
it is connected to the computer and iTunes is open.  What in the hell is there 
not to understand?

query about Belkin splitter was: any good lightning head set recommendation

[Tara Prakash]

Hi all.
I am aware about this splitter but not sure if the other side can be
used for any other purpose. I am hoping to use this splitter to charge
the phone while I am using a wired keyboard on an Ipad. Does anybody
know if that is possible?

There isn't much to this application and Tom demonstrates it very well in his

Just as Tom who did the Podcast I have not yet gotten the WiFi sync/transfer to

RE: Questions about Uber

[Sieghard Weitzel]

It must definitely depend on the market, when I was in Calgary I never saw 
anything about an Uber Assist option either.

Sorry, but here in Ohio, the only options for UBER is UberX and XL.
Never heard of this assist. They don't even offer black or that other option

Folks, the Uber team were clear about how they monitor communication between 
drivers and clients because it is within the Uber App. 
If you are refused with a service animal it will only be after you have 
confirmation of the ride along with the driver's name, car type and license 
plate number.
Uber operates under the same laws as any other drivers for hire including 
taxis, therefore, face the same consequences if refusing those of us with 
service dogs. 
Selecting Uber Assist will increase the likelihood of getting a more 
experienced driver that may be more familiar with disabled clients.
Uber Assist is the same pricing as Uber X and the wait time is usually inside 
10 minutes.

It is the expectation and goal of Uber to make their service available to all 
clients, understanding that 100% compliance is what they are striving
for.   
Just like any other service that we use when accompanied by our guide Dogs, it 
may well be an opportunity for us to educate.

One of them absolutely yelled her head off at me stating I didn't give her a

though the dog was on the floor.
UBER will just talk to the drivers, but I have found out earlier this week that 
UBER technically can't do anything to the drivers though UBER will say they can 
disallow them from using the platform.
UBER has contacted me when I report it within 24-48 hours, but again, all they 
will tell you is that they will talk to the driver.
If the driver charges you a cancelation fee, you will get a credit for that fee 
towards your next ride.

RE: any good lightning head set recommendation

[Alan Lemly]

Ari,

I know some of the third-party lightning splitters they sell on Amazon don't 
allow use of the earpod remote buttons when connected through them. The Belkin 
one sold through the Apple Store does allow full functionality and I use mine 
all the time with my wired earpods and my iPhone 7 while it's charging.

I'll do that. Can't remember where I heard you can't use the iPhone controller 
with these splitters, but I remember it was on an article I was reading 
comparing a few splitters that had a lightning port and a 3.5 mm headphone

Hi, can you tell me the name of this app?
Also, I am using pedometer plus plus.  Does anyone have any opinion on how 
accurate this is?  Sometimes I think it is good but, other times seems to add 
too many steps.  Thank so much, Andy and Shubert

Hi,

The simplest mode is the Start button in the middle of the screen which starts 
the treadmill. It will not work if the phone is in a case on your belt. It must 
detect movement which I learned the hard way after walking several miles with 
it strapped in in a holster on my belt instead of in my pocket one day. And the 
stop button to the left of the start button, once pressed, will give you 
several options including saving and resetting or just resetting. Once you stop 
the treadmill you go into history and look at the very top of the list of 
numbers to see what each number represents.

For example, Date, time, distance, steps, average miles per hour, calories 
burned.

The only part I have found in the app that I cannot use effectively is of 
course the graph tab which I cannot see to chart my progress graphically.

I always get a kick out of using it to go to the mailbox because if I stand 
still while getting mail out of the box which is a half mile round trip it will 
beep at me to remind me not to stand still so I probably look ridiculous 
prancing around getting mail out of the box so as to keep it from quitting on 
me before I get back to the apartment.

Hope that helps,

Merv

Uber in the news, was: [GTT-Toronto] Notes from last night's GTT meeting on Uber

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Just as a comment regarding what was said in these minutes about Uber rides 
being 30 to 40% cheaper than taxi rides I can only say that at least here in 
Canada this is not necessarily true. When I was recently in Calgary I took 
about 6 or 8 Uber trips. The first I requested when I arrived at the airport 
and it was to go to Foothills Hospital which is about a 25 to 35 minute ride 
depending on traffic. UberX showed the ride was going to be $32, then I 
realized Uber is only allowed to come to the departures area and we had already 
gone downstairs to arrivals so we ended up taking a taxi just out of 
convenience and the taxi ride was $40, a $8 difference. In other words, Uber 
would have been 20% cheaper than the taxi and calculating up from the $32 the 
taxi was 25% more expensive.
A few days later my wife and I took a ride from our hotel to a nearby mall and 
it was $7 with Uber. When we wanted to go back the exact same route a couple of 
hours later (now during rush hour) the app said that fares were now higher due 
to demand and now the ride was suddenly just over $11. We ended up calling a 
taxi and the taxi ride (it was only about a mile and a half) was $6 so in this 
case it was a Dollar cheaper to take the taxi even when Uber charged the lower 
price and it was almost half of what Ueber wanted durng the busier time.
My last example was for going back to the airport which was super early in the 
morning because we had to be there by 5 AM to catch our 6 AM flight. We left 
the hotel at 4:30 AM on a Sunday morning and the roads were completely empty 
and it only took 25 minutes. Then Uber charged $28 for the same ride that 
previously during the day would have been $32, but I am almost sure the taxi 
ride at that time of the day would also have been only around $35 or $36 since 
taxi metres take both the duration of the trip and the milage into account.
I am not saying Uber isn't a bit cheaper and I totally like using the app and 
how fast a car is usually there. I also like the fact I can contact the driver, 
that I know in advance how much the trip is and that I can pay for it and 
afterwards rate the driver. But if you follow the news a bit and care a bit for 
how companies behave and what sort of ethical commitment they have, Uber 
definitely needs to get their act together. Some of what makes it so nice like 
the upfront price of a ride is actually often bad for the driver as this 
article indicates:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/uber-drivers-upfront-fares-1.3973342

Lastly, here the link and text of another CBC News article which raises a lot 
of issues Uber is going to have to deal with:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/uber-lawsuit-rivals-1.4016725

Uber at crossroads, facing lawsuit, mounting criticism and growing rivals - 
Technology & Science - CBC News

Uber was born with brass knuckles. To survive, the ride-hailing company has had 
to fight taxi unions and entire governments. That brawling culture turned it 
into a global brand worth as much as $69 billion US. But the company has spent 
most of 2017 punching itself in the face.
First, a former employee made allegations of widespread sexual harassment and 
abusive behaviour at Uber's head office.
Then about 200,000 people deleted the Uber app from their phones, the New York 
Times reported, after Uber CEO Travis Kalanick agreed to participate in 
President Donald Trump's economic advisory council and was accused of trying to 
profit from a New York taxi strike protesting Trump's travel ban.
Recently, Kalanick was caught on camera yelling at an Uber driver who said he'd 
lost money working for the company.
The head of Uber's driver experience, Nundu Janakiram, says Kalanick apologized 
for his outburst.
"Travis said in his note that it was completely unacceptable the way that he 
acted to that driver," Janakiram said at Uber headquarters in San Francisco.
As for the alleged culture of sexual harassment, he said Kalanick will make 
sure everyone at the company is treated with respect.
"There's an investigation that's happening internally that will hopefully lead 
to some change within the company."
Google alleges a former employee secretly downloaded 14,000 files, resigned, 
then launched a self-driving truck startup called Otto, which was later 
acquired by Uber. (Kim Brunhuber/CBC)
Then it was revealed Uber had designed an elaborate tool called Greyball to 
identify regulators and funnel them onto a fake version of the app which 
displays ghost cars that would never actually show up. On Wednesday, the 
company announced it would end that program.
Even one of Uber's most promising "good news" stories has gone sour.
During the testing of Uber's much-touted self-driving vehicles, the cars ran 
six red lights. And despite repeated demands from California's Department of 
Motor Vehicles, Uber refused to apply for a $150 permit to test them in the 
state. Uber's head of product, Matt Sweeney, said the company will now comply.

Re: Working with bookmarks on an iPhone

[Mary Otten]

Hi richard,
I knew I was forgetting something. In my original note, I erroneously said that 
I was able to add a bookmark from with in the bookmarks list. But of course, 
you're right, it's in shared. So once I open up the share and hit the bookmark 
choice, then I close out of Safari and come back in and open bookmarks, I still 
can't find the bookmark I supposedly added. And no, I wasn't talking about app 
folders, I was talking about folders that appear within the bookmarks list 
those folders appear because they exist on the Mac. But I still don't know what 
happened to the original bookmark that was saved in the share choice. I hope 
that makes more sense, and sorry for the original erroneous information.
Mary

Re: Working with bookmarks on an iPhone

[Richard Turner]

Apple, in their infinite wisdom set it up so if you want to bookmark a page in 
Safari, you open the share tab at the bottom of the screen, not the bookmarks 
tab.
Then you can add it to various lists, or your home screen, then move that icon 
into a folder, if you are talking about app folders.
I guess Apple takes the approach that if you want to bookmark a page, you are 
sharing it with yourself.
Anyway, once you add it to your bookmarks, favorites, etc: then you open the 
bookmarks tab to find it again. Unless of course you saved it to your home 
screen.
HTH,
Richard

Working with bookmarks on an iPhone

[Mary Otten]

Hi all,
I have bookmarks which sent over from my Mac to my iPhone. I have never really 
done much with them, until today, when I decided to see what, if anything, I 
could do. The interest is sparked by the fact that I often come across pages I 
like, lots of recipes among other things, and you can't keep just letting your 
list of tabs in your device grow and grow. So a couple of questions. I try to 
add a bookmark today and apparently did so. I was on the page, opened the 
bookmarks choice in Safari, add bookmark, and then hit save. Then I hit done 
and closed safari out of the app switcher. When I go back into Safari and again 
select bookmarks, I'm not seeing my supposedly added bookmark. It's not in the 
plane list of bookmarks, nor is it in the folder where I last had something 
open. So, what's going on? Also, how can I add a bookmark to a specific folder. 
It seems that once a folder is open, all you can do is view what's in there, 
not actually add your current page to the open folder. So, is it the case that 
in order to actually add it to your bookmarks collection, you must do it on the 
Mac? Or is there something usable for those of us who prefer to browse using 
the iPhone?

Re: Putting music on an iPhone

[Kelly Pierce]

As Sieghard said, when itunes is open press alt F to open the file
menu, cursor down to add folder to library or add file to library then
pres enter.  a dialog box appears where the user needs to browse to
the file or folder and select it.  for most people, albums are in
folders and individual audio tracks are single files.  Have the folks
having problems tried these basic steps?


Once added to the library, the audio files will synchronize to the
iPhone when it is connected to the computer and iTunes is open.  What
in the hell is there not to understand?

Re: Music streaming

[Kelly Pierce]

Spotify allows for people to create custom playlists and then share
these playlists.  A user cannot create a playlist of individual tracks
in Pandora and then play these tracks.  both are great music radio
like apps though.  the paid versions remove the commercials.

Bluetooth headset

[michaelmaslo04]

 
 
 
Hi list,  
 

 
I was wondering if any one could give me a idea on the best bluetooth headset I 
can get. I have a awesome pair of bose sound link. They have unbelievable sound 
quality. I am looking for a second pair to use for typing. My only gripe is 
that majority of the headphones which are bluetooth are latency while typing. I 
do not use dictation for I do not want everyone hearing my text messages. I do 
not want to use a bluetooth keyboard for I feel it is quite intrusive and a 
pain to carry while out traveling.  
 

 
Any recommendations I would sincerely appreciate.  
 

 
Thanks in advance.

Just as Tom who did the Podcast I have not yet gotten the WiFi sync/transfer to 
work, it may take a sighted person since you have to first connect the iPhone 
and click on a "gear icon" which does not seem to be accessible. This is sort 
of a settings area where you first have to enable the wireless connection. It 
does state in the FAQ that this feature is still in beta, but then again I 
never found iTunes WiFi Sync to work very reliably or, if it worked, to be very 
fast.

I have checked for coupon codes and while there maybe better ones out there, I 
did find one, "WELOVE7LABS" which when you enter it during checkout (without 
the quotation symbols of course) will give you 5% off, it is only $2, but then 
again $2 is better than $0.

Considering how many people dislike iTunes I am surprised this application 
has not been praised as the reinvention of the wheel with Podcasts about it 
and so on. Before I plunk down $40 (I assume that is US Dollars) or $60 
which is the offer if you want free lifetime upgrades I'd really like to 
hear a Podcast done about it. I have tried too many of these all with 
limitations or accessibility issues.

Last Call for Yahoo Fantasy Baseball

[Brian Fischler]

Hey all,

We still have a few spots left for our inaugural Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league. 
It is completely free and one hundred percent accessible. There is a little 
learning curve to understanding the layout of the app, but Yahoo really has 
done a tremendous job making everything accessible and improving the app for VO 
users. If you are interested in getting in email me directly and I will send 
you the link to join up. brianfisch...@me.com .

Yes, an Airport Express is an Airplay device and it has a 3.5mm audio out jack 
which you could connect to your receiver. I use one connected to one of my

Has anyone found out a solution for this problem?
In order to play iTunes music from my PC I need to have the TV on while using 
the Apple TV 4, since they removed the audio out jack on that device.  I know 
there are products out there that can accomplish this.  I want to be able to 
use my PC for audio transmission to my Onkyo receiver.  Are there any adaptors 
that will allow this.  I tried to use Audio Tracker, but it created it’s own 
WIFI which my computer wouldn’t recognize.  If I play from the iPhone it would 
work but I don’t want to do that.  Also the WIFI it created only had about a 30 
foot range.  Would Airport Express take care of this problem or some other 
wireless adaptor?  Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Smarter coffee

['Richard Claridge' via VIPhone]

Hi. 
No I never got a reply, but I took the plunge and bought it anyway.
It's absolutely fantastic. The app works great, with only one minor problem. 
It's a bit hit and miss when you want to select how many cups you want it to 
make. For me this isn't a problem as I just make a full pot every time it may 
be a problem for people who just want one every now and then. It does work, 
just not always exactly how you want it.
Other than that it's brilliant. And I never tried to ask them to make that bit 
a little more accessible, but when I have called them or email them about other 
things and with questions they have been fantastic with the responses. So they 
may actually be able to help by making the app slightly better.
One of the best things I've bought in awhile.
Richard

Re: any good lightning head set recommendation

I'll do that. Can't remember where I heard you can't use the iPhone controller 
with these splitters, but I remember it was on an article I was reading 
comparing a few splitters that had a lightning port and a 3.5 mm headphone 
port. Thanks for letting me know that the headphone controller works with the 
Belkin splitter.

Sharing files from dropbox and voice dream reader

[Deidre Muccio]

Hello all,
After listening to an audio file in dropbox via via VDR, I hit on actions. It 
gave me the option of sharing to Facebook which I hit on. It posted my comment 
but the audio file never showed up in Facebook. Is there a setting that needs 
to be switched on in order for the audio file to actually be shared?

Sorry, but here in Ohio, the only options for UBER is UberX and XL.
Never heard of this assist. They don't even offer black or that other option

Folks, the Uber team were clear about how they monitor communication between
drivers and clients because it is within the Uber App. 
If you are refused with a service animal it will only be after you have
confirmation of the ride along with the driver's name, car type and license
plate number.
Uber operates under the same laws as any other drivers for hire including
taxis, 
therefore, face the same consequences if refusing those of us with service
dogs. 
Selecting Uber Assist will increase the likelihood of getting a more
experienced driver that may be more familiar with disabled clients.
Uber Assist is the same pricing as Uber X and the wait time is usually
inside 10 minutes.

It is the expectation and goal of Uber to make their service available to
all clients, understanding that 100% compliance is what they are striving
for.   
Just like any other service that we use when accompanied by our guide Dogs,
it may well be an opportunity for us to educate.

I have been denied 4 different times from drivers.
One of them absolutely yelled her head off at me stating I didn't give her a
heads up, then insisted I bring loads of blankets to cover her intire car
even though the dog was on the floor.
UBER will just talk to the drivers, but I have found out earlier this week
that UBER technically can't do anything to the drivers though UBER will say
they can disallow them from using the platform.
UBER has contacted me when I report it within 24-48 hours, but again, all
they will tell you is that they will talk to the driver.
If the driver charges you a cancelation fee, you will get a credit for that
fee towards your next ride.

Hi Mike,

I find it easier and more intuitive to use the File menu in iTunes and then 
select the Add File or Add Folder option to add music.
Normally all your music is in c\users\mike\music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music. 
I used your name as an example, not sure how you have your Windows set up, 
but I assume you get what I mean.
Of course your music could be anywhere and it could even be on an external 
hard drive or network attached drive, it could be in multiple folders in 
which case you have to add each folder. I find it is easiest if it is at 
least all in one folder.
You don't really have to worry too much abut having subfolders for genres, 
artists and so on, iTunes does not use such a folder structure, it uses the 
ID3 tags from each song file to sort it. This of course means that if you 
have ripped your music using an application which did not properly look up 
and tag your songs that this will be a problem. Anyways, I assume your music 
is tagged and that it is in the folder I used in my example above, so h ere 
is what you do (it is super simple):

1. Open iTunes
2. Go to File and arrow down to "Add Folder to Library 3. A standard Open 
dialogue appears, just browse to your folder and once it is highlighted tab 
to "Selecte" and activate it.
That's it, depending on how much music you have in that folder you should 
hear a triple tone anywhere after a second or two and maybe 8 or 10 seconds 
if your collection is quite large.
As long as all the files in your music folder are MP3 or M4A which is the 
iTunes compressed file format, they will all get added to your library.
As Robert explained, the shortcut for the music library is Control+1 and if 
you tab a bunch of times you should find a list of all your music. There are 
other settings to make browsing your music easier, but I don't have time to 
get into those. If you like email me privately at siegh...@live.ca, I'd be 
happy to setup a time on the weekend for a call and show you a bit how you 
can get the most out of iTunes, it really is not so bad as many make it out 
to be.

Sieghard

is better to call anyways to make sure they come to the right door, yes, the 
GPS will give the address/location, but if I'm at a big mall it won't do the 
driver much good to know that I'm at such and such mall. You may not be legally 
obligated to let them know you have a dog, but I think there is nothing wrong 
with telling them out of curtocy and I guess there is always a chance a driver 
is truely allergic in which case it's better if they know in advance and can 
decline the ride.
On another note I think I am going to not use Uber again for now 
anyways because while I had good experiences with the individual drivers, I do 
not at all agree with their business practices and right now it looks like they 
may face a real existential thread so until they decide to get their act 
together I'll go back to taking a taxi. I know it is easier to boycott them if 
you rarely need to use them anyways and for others this may not be an option, 
but I only get to use Uber when I'm in Calgary and there is talk that they will 
be in Vancouver by the end of this year, but in my small town our single cab 
company where the owner drives along with 3 or 4 others she employs they can 
hardly make a living and I'm sure Uber is a long time away from being here.

Hey guys,

I am about to start using Uber.  Question, how have you found a lot of 
the drivers with guide dogs?  I figured most of them are probably pretty good 
but wanted to ask.  How do you guys usually handle it?

I applaud the person who brings an oil cloth with them. Dog users must be 
mindful that the service is not just for persons with dogs and the driver 
must consider their other passengers who might not want dog hairs on their 
clothes.

Re: Music streaming

Hi Max. There are no real differences between Spotify and Pandora, they both 
let you make or listen to premade music. iHeartRadio also does this but it also 
lets you listen to radio stations from anywhere in the US. Hope that helps.

Re: any good lightning head set recommendation

[Gadget Girl]

Hi.  I have the Belkin Rockstar splitter, which can be found at the Apple store 
and Best Buy for $39.99.  I use it with my iPhone 7 Plus.  It has a lightning 
end on a cord  which protrudes a few inches from a flattened rectangle.  In the 
flattened rectangle, there are 2 lightening ports to plug in your Lightning to 
USB cord on one side and your Lightning to 3.5 mm headphone/earphone  adapter 
on the other side.  Each side takes either cord so you do not need to worry 
about which port takes which cord.  I find my wired earphones/headphones work 
very well with no features being hindered.  The lightning to 3.5 mm 
headphone/earphone adapter can also be found at Best Buy or your phone carrier 
for $9.99.  This is the same headphone /earphone adapter that came with my 
iPhone 7 Plus.  I picked up a couple to leave on the end of my 
headphones/earphones and I keep another plugged into the splitter along with my 
lightning to USB cord.  When I travel and need to use my earphones for privacy, 
they are always ready to go with the earphone adapter already plugged in.  Hope 
this helps.

Gadget Girl
