Replacement for Nero Express

2006-09-18 Thread Morey Worthington
Hello all, at this time I cannot afford to purchase Nero6 to do what I want 
to do , with while burning a CD.
I would like to have the song title and artist  info in the track list, 
instead of Track 1...etc.
Any other burning software out there that will do this , and maybe for free?
I know this sounds real cheap, but have some tough times at the moment.
I should be able to get Nero 6 in awhile, but till then , any suggestions?
I am currently using Nero Express.
Thanks,

The first option is to download radio quality. This file is roughly one tfifth 
of the CD quality file which is the second option.
So, if your file was 135 megs the other should be about 30 megs.
I had the same problem on a Iriver t 30 where the cd quality file was too large 
for the unit--not in terms of its size--the T 30 is 1 gig but the unit did not 
play such a large file properly--played about 2/3 of the file then stopped. The 
smaller (radio quality) worked fine.

My local library uses net library for downloadable books and I have signed

from Net Library are given to you for download as on huge file.  The last
book I downloaded was 135 megs.  I am on a very high speed connection, so
that is not a problem.  The problem for was with the player I purchased to
read these books.  It is a Sandisk Sansa M240.  Even though the player has 1
gb of memory, and can take the whole book with no problem, attempting to use
either fast forward or rewind looses your place and brings you back to the
beginning of the book.  I called Sandisk about this and was told that this
behavior is due to the size of the file.  It simply can't handle the
indexing for that size of a book.  That was $75 down the drain
unfortunately, because that was the only reason I had purchased the player.


Can you recommend a player that will work with the huge files available from

thing needed for net library books, it also has to be able to allow you to
rewind or fast forward through a book without totally loosing your place.

Rob,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I guess if there is no other way, I will have to
bite the bullet and listen to the low bitrate version.  I wish they would
just make the much nicer sounding high bitrate version available in a series
of smaller files.  I believe this is what OverDrive does and users of that
service don't have this issue.  Thanks again for the advice.

unfortunately, because that was the only reason I had purchased the player.


Can you recommend a player that will work with the huge files available from
net library?  The ability to simply play the file with DRM isn't the only
thing needed for net library books, it also has to be able to allow you to
rewind or fast forward through a book without totally loosing your place.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Hi, Londa!  I work at our public library which also now has access to free
downloadable books that are in wma-drm (digital rights management) format,
so I know the search for such an mp3 player quite well.  I have found two
players that are more or less accessible.  one is the Ilo for about $99; you
can get it from Walmoart on-line but not in their stores.  I got mine on
ebay for about $50, I think.  The other you can find just about anywhere. 
It's called the Disney Mix Stick, I think.  It's for little kids, but it's
pretty accessible and costs about $40.  I'll be happy to talk more about
them and tell you what I know about advantages and disadvantages of each if
you want to write me off-list.  There is also a player, the name of which
escapese me, that has pre-loaded books on them, one book per player.  I'll
see if I can find it.  So give me a holler if you like!

Cheers,
Kathy

 Hi All,

 I'm looking for an accessible mp3 player that also plays WMA files.  Our
 library system is getting downloadable audio books and wants to be able to
 provide some suggestions for blind patrons.  they'd also like to be able 
 to
 purchase players and loan them with books preloaded on them to blind
 patrons.  I've looked at the book port, but it's a bit expensive.  I'm 
 also
 not sure it will do the job.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tim,

Do you have a link for more info on this Motorola unit? 

Can you rewind and fast forward through a large NetLibrary book with no
issues?

Also, what did you mean by if you have a good memory you can bookmark more
than one file..  Appreciate the info.

No you don't.  I bought a Motorola M25 for $29 that works great with the net
library books as long as it stops before the battery runs completely down.
If you have a good memory you can bookmark more than 1 file.

Hi, Rick!  Sorry for my delayed response to your post.  At the moment, I
don't know of any good accessible player that will bookmark your net library
books.  I'm not saying there isn't something, but I haven't found it yet. 
Maybe some IRiver product might do it?  I don't know.  I've been going for
the cheap stuff
  for folks who don't have much money but want to access these Net Library
books.  I think you have to go to high-end players to get that bookmarking
capability.  Really annoying, I know.

 Kathy,

 My local library uses net library for downloadable books and I have 
 signed up to use the service.  The big problem I have encountered is 
 that the books from Net Library are given to you for download as on 
 huge file.  The last book I downloaded was 135 megs.  I am on a very 
 high speed connection, so that is not a problem.  The problem for was 
 with the player I purchased to read these books.  It is a Sandisk 
 Sansa M240.  Even though the player has

 1
 gb of memory, and can take the whole book with no problem, attempting 
 to use either fast forward or rewind looses your place and brings you 
 back to the beginning of the book.  I called Sandisk about this and 
 was told that this behavior is due to the size of the file.  It simply 
 can't handle the indexing for that size of a book.  That was $75 down 
 the drain unfortunately, because that was the only reason I had 
 purchased the player.


 Can you recommend a player that will work with the huge files

Yeah, that is how the Overdrive service works.

There's also the MuVo line of MP3 players from Creative.  I know they've 
been mentioned here before.  There's the Nomad MuVo's which come in 64M 
and 128M sizes and then the MoVo Mix's which come in 256M and 512M 
sizes.  I have a Nomad MuVo myself, the 128M size, and it works well 
with MP3's, WMA's and Audible's format.  It does support picking up 
where you left off.  I find that it does OK with large files, but you do 
lose the audio feedback when you're fast forwarding at the end of a 
large file.

I bought the Nomad MuVo a while ago, so my facts above may be a bit 
off.  I also had to upgrade the firmware to get it to support the 
Audible file format and the pick up where you stopped feature.

 Rob,

 Thanks for the suggestion.  I guess if there is no other way, I will have to
 bite the bullet and listen to the low bitrate version.  I wish they would
 just make the much nicer sounding high bitrate version available in a series
 of smaller files.  I believe this is what OverDrive does and users of that
 service don't have this issue.  Thanks again for the advice.

 With Net Library, there two options:
 The first option is to download radio quality. This file is roughly one
 tfifth of the CD quality file which is the second option.
 So, if your file was 135 megs the other should be about 30 megs.
 I had the same problem on a Iriver t 30 where the cd quality file was too
 large for the unit--not in terms of its size--the T 30 is 1 gig but the unit
 did not play such a large file properly--played about 2/3 of the file then
 stopped. The smaller (radio quality) worked fine.

 Since Gold Wave uses the standard Windows settings for recording, I can't
 imagine how recording from two separate sources could be accomplished.
