have the i so file created and now a question about that

2009-01-14 Thread Casey
Hi okay I have mad eht a I so file and tried burning it to an audio cd using 
the rewriteable cd so as to not waste a cd recorderable.
So I put it in my cd player that can play cd rw's and again the tracks were 
there and no audio.
But when I burned the cd to an audio cd I told it to use my cd burner as the 
recorder and not the image recorder.
Should I have used the image recorder to burn the cd as an audio cd instead 
of my actual cd recorder?
Also as a side note I have noticed that on this list that people have been 
thinking that since my name is Casey.

That I am a female and that is incorrect.
Just to let you know I am a male just to let you all know who I am.
So thanks again for all the help and if I have done everything correctly 
then maybe I will have to punt this project and try and get the file from 
another place.

Re: simplified broadcast softwear for streaming

2009-01-14 Thread Steve Matzura
If you think SAM Broadcaster is simple, I'd hate to see what you think
is complicated!  For simplicity, it doesn't get any simpler than two
instances of Winamp and the Shoutcast plug-in that comes with it.  The
first instance of wWinamp controls the music, the second controls the
broadcast.  If you can use Winamp, you can broadcast.

Hello everyone:
I am looking for an accessible streaming broadcast softwear package that
is jaws friendly. I find that there is simply too much information on
the windows player that I will not be using. As I will only be streaming
audio information files all that I want the schedualler to do is to play
the lineup of information that I put into it in a sequence. As the
information package will be fast paced the player must be capable of
keeping the flow of audio information tight. Once I put the audio files
together I will then upload it to a server to be streamed on line. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

I avoid programs like this like the plague because I don't like
software that makes decisions for me concerning what I want to include
or exclude while editing anything, but for the basic trimming task,
I've always liked and used MP3Trim (http://www.mptrim.com).  A little

Re: dasy software packages?

2009-01-14 Thread Steve Matzura
All of this discussion prompts the following question from me:  What
does full-featured mean to you?  TO me, it means everything--page
numbering, ability to either include or separate footnotes from being
read within main text, section headings of course (like articles,
chapters, major printed section breaks, etc.) ... simply putting mp3's
in a folder and running something to convert the indexing structure
doesn't seem full-featured by half.  I suspect, I don't really know
but just suspect, that the full features one would want have to be
provided by the content provider more than the software provider.  In
other words, somebody somewhere has to know where the marks go.
Without them, the whole thing is ueless.  Do I care more about pages
than I do about cassette sides?  You bet I do.  But is that marking
level available?  Certainly not.  So then, where's it to come from?
Answer:  Unknown.  But without a valid answer to these questions,
there's no such thing as full-featured, imho.

If you're willing to read its pretty straightforward manual, some, though
not all, of what you want to do you can do free with the Daisy Book
Generator, available from

http://jaapvanlelieveld.xs4all.nl/daisy.htm

Basically, you put mp3 files into a folder, run this free program from the
context menu for the folder, and it converts the folder contents into a
Daisy book which you can then load onto your player.  I have been turning
podcasts and mp3 audio files into Daisy books with this for my player with
great success.

Importance: High

Hi.

Only got general recommendations and links to offer in your persuit of of
DAISY creation software, but hope it helps.

First off: the DAISY org site which will tell you a lot about the various
software packages and hardware options:

http://tinyurl.com/8zgfqd

Second, Brian Hartgen is the source of much knowledge here in the UK,

The last mentioned software package on this page, the Book Wizzard by A P H,
is, I think, free, and seems to be highly regarded by some.
www.hartgen.org

A final thought:  the PTR2 CD/CF card recorder is a pretty easy to use
solution enabling pretty painless conversion in one box.  There is a list,
on Freelists I think, the PtR1 users list for this equipment.  (Don't be put
off by the name;  it was started back in the days of the PTR1, but most
discussion there is/is around the PTR2 successor.

AS for sample rate and bit rate conversion, not sure if you will find much
support for that within the DAISY creation software packages, and I would in
any case personally look to Goldwave, Sound Forge, Studio recorder for this
and the audio processing optionsfacilities you might want.


HTH,

hello list,
I have recently got a portable daisy talking book player, and would like to
start making my own daisy book disks, from my own audio library.
please can anyone recommend a good fully featured daisy creating software
package? it needs to be fully accessible, using window-eyes.

the package needs to be fully featured, as I would like to make the disks
fully navigable, as I will probably put several books, radio series, or
audio described film audio tracks, on to one disk, and would like to be able
to select which book or series I want, and easily navigate my way around
that book or series, by chapter or episode, or if a particular series had
several seasons of it, I would like to be able to navigate by series,
season, or episode. I hope I have explained that ok. however, just to make
things interesting, the audio books in my library, are all formatted
differently, as there are some, that have only as many files, as there were
tapes or cds in the original, there are some, that have been taken from cd,
with each track on each cd being a file, and there are some, that have just
been formatted as a single big file for the whole book.

also, the stuff I have, has not all been encoded at the same bit rate, and I
have had problems with some mp3 disks before, that will play perfectly in
mp3 cd players, dvd players, and my computer, but when I try to play them in
my talking book machine, it says something like audio format not supported
even though they are mp3 files, and I would like the software package to be
able to sort this out if possible, as it is probably something simple, such
as re-encoding the mp3 files, in a bit rate that the talking book machine
will handle.

it would also be quite useful, if the 

well i need some help on an issue that I have discovered with nero and making cd's

2009-01-14 Thread Casey
Hi okay remember I was having one heck of a time trying to create that I so 
file and then finally got it made and tried to burn it.

but yet had all kinds of problems with that part of it also.
Well hear is a strange one.
I tried to make an audio of songs off of my hard drive from a cd that I had 
ripped to the hard drive like from two days ago.
Well okay so I went in to Nero seven and told it to make an audio cd like I 
have done time and time again.

So then after I selected all of the tracks that I wanted to have in my disc.
OI went on to the finally burn settings.
there I selected what I wanted and told it to burn.
Now it burned the disc and then I took the disc out when it was finished and 
put it in one of my cd players that works perfectly.

And again all of the tracks were there but no audio.
But now if I copy a cd it works fine.
So is something checked that is a digital mode somewhere or what could be 
causing this?

I am using cd recordables and those are working also.
If I make a copy of a disc then the recorded works fine and plays fine also.
I only get all of the tracks and no audio on them when I create a cd and try 
to burn that on to a cd recordable.

No I don't have my image recorder checked in Nero either.
So then is something muted that shouldn't be cause this only seems to happen 
when I would like to take mp3 audio files that are on my c drive and burn 
them to an audio cd and nothing else.

My suggestions on what to look in to/
I am running a windows xp home addition machine and window eyes 7.01 and a 
sound blaster live sound card.

If that help any.
all assistance is welcome.

2009-01-14 Thread Casey

Hi what I was trying to say was.
If I have a cd ripped to my hard drive for example and it is in mp3 format.
and I go in to nero and make an audio cd the tracks are all there and I have 
no audio from them.

but if I copy a disc to disc.
like if one of you fellow listers would send me a cd of lets say of the rock 
group cheap trick and would say to me feel free to make a copy of this for 
yourself.
I can make a copy of that disk and I will have a perfect audio copy with all 
of the tracks and the audio on them.
This is only when I take tracks off of my hard drive that are mp3 files and 
want to put them on a cd recordable for playing in other cd players.

Do I get discs with all the tracks and no audio.
So what can I do if anything to change this?
Strange that I can copy discs and just not create them fromsongs that I have 
on my hard drive and burn them on to a cd recordable and like play that cd 
in my home stereo.

That is kind of hard when I have tracks and nothing on them.
