Hello Anouk, Here's the link to download Adobe Digital Editions. I like it much better than Stanza and it works for Kobo books. It's not so good with Braille, however. The upside is, you can copy each page into a TextEdit document by using the Copy the last spoken phrase to the clipboard

Tracey, Yep, all you do is copy that line into the Apple Script editor and then do a command r to run it. Once you see it is working you then save it off to a file and point the Voice Over keyboard commander at the file and away you go. Keith On Sep 11, 2011, at 2:35 PM, Traci wrote: I am

The only way I've seen that happen is when you start VLC for the first time, and VLC would then ask if you want it to be your default media player. If you could find the VLC plist file, remove it and then restart VLC so it would ask you again. Later... On 2011-09-11, at 3:14 PM, Anouk Radix

Re: Ripping cps with Amadeus?

2011-09-11 Thread Paul Henrichsen
Thanks. Can Amadeus rip tracks from a cd and create mp3 files? I'm concerned about doing this with iTunes as every time I open an mp3 with iTunes, it thinks it should add it to my music library so that I then have to go in and remove them. Very odd since I never saw this behavior in windows. If

Thanks. At least that way, when I open an p3, vlc will open it instead. That should keep it out of my iTunes librarygrin. Odd; because the windows version of iTunes doesn't do this. On Sep 10, 2011, at 9:49 PM, Teresa Cochran wrote: Hi, Paul, If you want VLC or any other program to open an

Hi there again, I'm not sure if you can rip the track directly, but it's worth a try. Amadeus should be able to import the entire CD and then copy it to another CD. I'm sure there is a simpler program for doing this directly, but Amadeus will give you the option of saving individual traqcks,

Hi. On further investigation, I have found that choosing other from open with and selecting vlc still only opens that particular file. If you open another mp3 file, it opens with iTunes. There doesn't appear to be a way on the mac to say only open mp3 files with vlc and no other app. On Sep

Hi. I don't want to copy tracks to a cd, but just rip them from the cd. Once I have the resulting mp3 files, I will probably transfer them to my book sense. I would use iTunes to do this, but it will then put the resulting mp3 files into my music library forcing me to search for and remove them.
