[all-audio] Trying to find a stream URL
Hi all, I am wanting to find the direct URL to an audio stream which I can bookmark in Winamp. A Google search mentions accessing the Inspect dialog, but I still can't find what I want. The link to the site is https://www.connectfm.au/ Open the listen live popup and start the stream playing in the online player. It would be much appreciated if someone can locate the direct URL for me. Thanks very much, Barry Chapman -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Yes, there is something in winamp that is supposed to do what you described, but it is not designed for windows 10. It may work, but I don't believe it does. In any case, it's always better to do things at the operating system level, if you can. "music player" should be one of the choices in that list.

That is what I said. You can use one or the other, but not both at once.

Hi Howard, 1. Launch CDEX. 2. Press F4 and arrow down to Remote freedb. 3. Tab to the Remote Server Combo box and make sure the freedb.freedb.org http 80 (freedb, Random freedb server) is selected. 4. Tab to Your E-mail address edit box and enter an email address.

Re: [all-audio] CDEX
Hi Andy, If you heard them converting then you don't need to press anything else. By default, I think the files are placed in the CDEX folder in Program Files. To find out where, when in CDEX, press F4. Arrow up or down to Directories & files and tab 3 times. You should hear the directory where the files are. This can be changed. If the titles are 01-AudioTrack 01.mp3 etc, then you need to configure CDEX to look up the titles database. Of course, it might not have that particular CD.

I've recently purchased from Amazon the last and final album from Mr Leonard Cohen, who has recently passed away. I wish to keep this CD in the best of nick, though wish to listen to it on my Win10 computer. I've download a programme called CDEX and tried to convert the CD into Wav or MP3 files. I knew that when loaded I'd simply have to press F9. I heard JAWS announce each track being converted. Now whet? I've looked inMy Documents and also My Music but there is nothing new in any of these.

Re: [all-audio] playlist maker
Hi Tim, Create a batch file in Notepad or another text editor. You could call it playlist.bat If, for example, you want the playlist to include all MP3 files on your C: drive, type or copy the following to the file. dir/s/b "c:\*.mp3">c:\playlist.m3u When you run the batch file, which you can do by locating it with Windows Explorer and pressing enter on it, the paths and filenames of all MP3 files on your C: drive will be written to c:\playlist.m3u. You can then open playlist.m3u in your preferred media player. If you wish to add, delete or re-order files, you can do this in Notepad or another text editor. Say then you only wanted MP3 files on your C: drive in the folders Pop Music and Country Music including sub-folders, you could modify the code as follows: dir/s/b "c:\Pop Music\*.mp3">c:\playlist.m3u dir/s/b "c:\Country Music\*.mp3">>c:\playlist.m3u Note that the second line has two greater than signs so that it is appended to the file rather than over-writing it. I hope this helps.

Re: [all-audio] playlist maker
Hi Tim, It depends on what you mean by a certain order. In Winamp, you can load an entire folder of songs and create a playlist within the playlist editor which you can output to a .m3u file. You can also move files up and down within the editor. If you are wanting to use attributes within the ID3 tag such as genre, I don't think you can do that within Winamp. Alternatively, you can use the dir command line function in Windows to create a list of files which you can save to a .m3u file.

Re: [all-audio] volume level
Hi Howard, You can download DSP plugins for Winamp such as: AudioStocker PRO, RockSteady and Tomass’ Limiter which will do what you want.

The volume levels are not all the same--some are very different. Does anyone know of a software that will even them out--on the fly. I don't want to go through them and fix 'em one at a time. I'll be using winamp to play them. Thanks, anybody. Howard -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Re: [all-audio] Differences between Winamp and VLC?
Well why then would the keys I mentioned be shown in the playback dropdown menu? Very strange. Also, with the keys you mentioned, which I worked out anyway, how does one stop a currently playing song then start it again from the beginning? Pressing p starts the previous track playing while n starts the next track. Also, is there a way when pressing n of stopping at the end of a playlist rather than recycling back to the beginning? And is there a way of moving from track to track without them actually playing? These are all things I can and need to do in Winamp.

That’s because you’re issuing the wrong keystrokes. S stops. P or spacebar plays or pause. N is next track. P is previous track.

Re: [all-audio] Differences between Winamp and VLC?
With all this talk about VLC, I decided to give it a try, but I can't get most of the keyboard shortcuts shown in the menus to work. For example, alt+p doesn't play, alt+s doesn't stop, alt+j doesn't jump forward and alt+k doesn't jump backward. I worked out that p by itself plays and s by itself stops, but if I stop a track and want to start it again, I need to press n for next followed by p, otherwise it will play the previous track. I know I am a novice user, so it probably isn't fair to judge a program on first impressions, but I don't find VLC to be very intuitive. I acknowledge that Winamp is not perfect, but I will stick with it for now.
