hi, Well this is because it has fm radio build in, and it's just a matter of a little software upgrade to build it in. So it will definately come very soon. Brian -Oprindelig meddelelse- From: Peter Scanlon Sent: Friday, May 30, 2014 4:15 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject:

Well, having FM is nothing like the ability to have internet radio I mentioned. It does apparently have this facility, but I will be interested to see if it uses Ootunes or something else like Tune In Radio. P. -Original Message- From: Brian Olesen Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2014 6:22

To be honest I couldn't give a damn, its the OCR part which is of interest to me at least, this really is the first device of its kind outside the KNFB reader. If OCR does well then I'll be most satisfied. I plan to buy one of these devices in our Spring - September so I'm sure a lot of water

Hello. You could look at the Tascam US 122 MK II USB Audio-Interface: I'm about to get a-hold of the next model, us-124 I think it is, only because it has a variable line-out. All the controls are mounted on the top of the device, so you don't really need the accompanying software. Check it

Hello dane. The audio interfaces I mentioned are portable of course, but not as small as the sound card of which you speak. They are however extremely rugged and use quarter inch jacks for the inputs, High quality Mic pre-amps, and really built for on the road use. Thanks, Joe On Sat, 31 May

Windows Media Player has been my default player for a long time on my Windows 7 laptop. IN the last week I noticed it no longer plays any MP3 files I press Enter on. Coincidentally, about the same time I have subscribed to the eMusic web service. WMP still comes up but the track is not played.

Perhaps eMusic changed your file association defaults. I know iTunes loves to do that. If so, you need to associate the .mp3 file type back to WMP. Go to the start menu search field. Type file association. Even before you finish, this item will appear. Press enter on it. Wait several moments
