Listers,
Lately I have been experiencing what appears to be a startup problem
that manifests itself when plugging in my card reader with a 16gb
SCHD card for copying content to my VRStream. Some times, I am told
that my device isn't a USB2 device, and I should think about
installing USB2 on

Out of the many I've tried over the years, I like CDEX the best. It's
open-source, and free. If you set it up correctly, and have a bit of
knowledge of how to review the screen with the mouse cursor, then you can
get at a few buttons which aren't tabbable. Read the little pop-up about how
Hi Jim - I would recommend FreeRIP3. It is very reliable and easy to use.

Hello, I am new to this list, and new to audio software, so I hope I'm not
rehashing a recently covered topic.
I'm using Window Eyes 7.2 on a Vista Home Premium machine. I buy songs and
albums from Amazon at 256kbps mp3 and I want to convert them to 128kbps aac. A
friend of mine says that
Wow I didn't know we could post this kind of stuff. That's really cool.
thanks for the info

Hi Evan.
Welcome to the list.
iTunes will allow you to convert multiple files, even albums or
different file types, to M4A (AAC) by default. Can't remember the
default bitrate but you can look in the import settings of preferences,
accessed with ctrl+comma.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
Chris

Hey.
You can use Switch, an all-purpose file converter that
supports a variety of formats. Try this page for a quick download:
http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html
Make sure to pay attention when installing as it'll offer to install other
programmes and change your start
Use the CD reader function in Goldwave.

Hello PC-Audio:

Thanks for that link, I'll try the program.
As far as downgrading goes, I can't tell the difference between 256kbps mp3
and 128kbps aac, and a guy I know who has a better sound system than I do
and some high end headphones can't tell the difference either. And, they
take up half the space. So
Fair enough, if you can't hear the difference. I sure can, and I don't think
there's anything special about my ears.

I'd never go lower than 192; to me that's a pretty decent compromise...not
quite CD audio quality but pretty damn close.

If you use ITunes, you can add the folder to your library containing the
songs, which will make a copy of the tracks as AAC files if you wish. I
think the default is 128 kbps AAC when you firts install ITunes.

I think I need something a bit more user friendly. I can't get this thing to
convert anything. Whenever I try, it starts playing the songs instead of
converting them. It also starts playing the songs when I hit the encoder
dialog button. Also, I can find no bit rate selection capability in here
aac is a different compression algorithm than mp3, so it's not the same
quality per given bit rate. I don't think you're seeing what I'm saying
here. Listen to any Internet radio stream with a given bit rate for mp3 and
the same bit rate for aac. aac sounds much better per given bit rate than
Just a follow-up, my Book Sense plays the m4a files I converted, but not
Winamp. When I try to play it in Winamp, the track title comes up, but all the
file information is 0, track length, bit rate and sample rate.
Very strange.

AN M4A file is just a container, and when you used switch, you don't really
know what it converted it to.

Subject: Winamp Won't Play
Yes, I've heard that before, although I confess I don't really understand
it. And how is a user to know what is happening to their files when they are
being converted if m4a is only a container? But I know for sure that Winamp
plays aac files, but it won't play the converted aac files either.

I've tried this version of Skype and it works well with Window-Eyes 7.5

Here are the changes in this version:

that Control A would do the trick, but, it must be a preference setting,

Mac: I grabbed this answer from a reply to this question that I had asked a
few months back (it worked for me)..give this a try:
Open the Playlist section of Winamp Preferences, and make sure that the
option labeled 'Manual Playlist Advance' is not checked.

Newer versions of Switch have some accessibility issues when tabbing
around the interface, but if you use the menu bar and the hot keys, I
think you'll find you can get to everything you need. BTW, I don't have
a problem clicking on the interface buttons with the JAWS cursor. In
