Dynamic audio software for Mac and a little for Windows and Iphone
Hi! I'm browsing through the company's news letter http://www.rogueamoeba.com/ so bare with me whilst I talk about some of the amazing products this company make, probably the most famous one of all is Audio Hijack Pro, this application allows you to hijack any audio source on your Mac whether that be applications such as Skype, DVD Player, Itunes or Safari playing radio streams. Once the audio is Hijacked you can Record the output to a file, the source can include physical audio devices as well such as sound cards and devices, USB radio sets such as the Audio Shark etc. You can Schedule these sources so that recording is activated and deactivated at certain times and much much much more. Fission is a small but yet simple and easy to use audio editor which can be integrated into Audio Hijack Pro's operation. For example, made a recording and wish to give it a trim? Press the Edit button in the Audio Hijack Pro application and the recording is loaded into Fission or any other audio editor for the Mac you set through Audio Hijack Pro's preferences. Nicecast is the application that makes broadcasting over the Internet a snap and - like Audio Hijack Pro - it hijacks both applications and physical sound sources, they're then streamed using a variety of methods including the widely used shoutcast so you can be up and broadcasting to the world with just one simple keystroke right out of the box as it were. airfoil for Windows and Mac is the great way to stream audio/video from one computer to an Airport Express or another computer, iphone or device using Airfoil Speakers, this companion application turns the computer into a remote pair of speakers. Like the products mentioned above, Airfoil Hijacks physical sound devices and other audio applications running and streams the audio to the target device. And finally, we have the best product yet I reckon from this company so let me quote you a small portion of the newsletter to put you in the picture regarding Radio Shift, this application allows you to search through thousands of radio stations on the Internet and associated programmes through a regularly updated programme guide database. Find something you think you'll like? Just set Radio Shift to handle it and the programme will be ready to play, even if it started playing 5 minutes ago you'll be able to hear it all in its entirety from and you can pause the audio whilst having a cup of tea letting Radio Shift take care of what remains to be recorded, anyway on with the quotation. 1. Radioshift 1.5 Is Here! Late last month, we released a major update to Radioshift, our internet radio player and recorder. This free update focused on improving many different aspects of Radioshift. To start, Radioshift now supports 1000s of new streams which were previously only available via web-based players, including some of the worldâ•˙s most popular streaming stations. Weâ•˙ve also worked to improve Radioshiftâ•˙s reliability. With version 1.5, when errors are detected with a stream, Radioshift will attempt to get the stream playing again by restarting it. It will also attempt to load backup streams when they're available. Even with less reliable streams, Radioshift will be working to make sure you get your audio, automatically. There are plenty of other updates in Radioshift 1.5, from an improved interface to support for transmitting its audio via Airfoil╉and much more! Best of all, all of this is entirely free for owners of Radioshift. So if you already use Radioshift and you're on Mac OS X 10.5 or higher, get it now.

Re: C-Crane Transmitter Question
You must be nuts. Certainly you are giving out incorrect information probably because of your ignorance of Jtunes and or Itunes, certainly the Airport Express, which puts all of the transmitters that I've tried to shame. On Jan 9, 2010, at 11:22 AM, DJ DOCTOR P wrote: High Tom, I agree with you on that. It is way to much trouble for anyone to go through, especially if you can't see. Also, the thing about ITunes, is you have to have a peace of software that's called JTunes. And that's just to make ITunes blind user friendly. But most people don't have $1000 to spend on a peace of software that limits you to one application. Where is the since in that? The radio transmitter, is a way cheaper way to get your tunes from your computer to anywhere you may want to take it around your home. I have two transmitters.

Maybe your screenreading software was crashing because it was jaws, because I have been using the software under windows and mac os for over a year no problem. Since the software is totally accessible under window-eyes and voiceover I can only feel sorry for jaws users who are missing out on an audio experience that far out does a fm transmitters.

RE: Balanced lines
Another approach to consider is balanced lines. There is a lot on the web about the technology if you wish to read up on it. The basic concept is to use a center tapped transformer at both ends of the line which nulls out any interfearance that occurs between the two transformers. I often run 100 feet and several hundred feet is common. You need a pair of transformers at each end for stereo, I think last time I looked they were about $10 each at radio shack. You would also need to purchase 3 conductor shielded cables for each channel which could cost $20-$30 each.

Re: C-Crane Transmitter Question
First, if I were you I would quit saying that Jtunes was anywhere near $1000. In fact, though I don't use Jaws, I happen to know that Jtunes is just a set of Jaws scripts, and though I haven't checked the price lately, I would be surprised if it were near $100. Secondly, if you are saying you needed sighted assistance to use the Airport Express and you still couldn't get it to work but I manage to use it every day with no sight well enough said. Third, I happen to know some of the people on this list and know that it would be easy for them to use if only they weren't listening to the bogus information you were putting out.

But most people don't have $1000 to spend on a peace of software that limits you to one application. Where is the since in that? The radio transmitter, is a way cheaper way to get your tunes from your computer to anywhere you may want to take it around your home. I have two transmitters.

m p 3 and wave files to N L S digital reader
Greetings: My name is Scott. I'm new to the group. It has been informative to read through the archives. Is anyone aware of an open source solution that will allow me to convert a series of m p 3 and wave files, and compile them into the digital book format used by the National Library Service's digital book reader. I am not looking for something I have to pay for, as I just want to listen to my personal instructional m p 3 files on the N L S player and have the ability to index them, create bookmarks, put them on a blank cartridge and make use of the digital player that I carry with me anyway. I prefer open source, as I use only the Linux operating system, but a Windows solution is better than nothing. I am utterly ignorant regarding the N L S format, so if someone is willing to take time to summarize the format used or provide a good link for self-learning, I'd be equally thankful.

I'm browsing through the company's news letter http://www.rogueamoeba.com/ so bare with me whilst I talk about some of the amazing products this company make, probably the most famous one of all is Audio Hijack Pro, this application allows you to hijack any audio source on your Mac whether that be applications such as Skype, DVD Player, Itunes or Safari playing radio streams. Once the audio is Hijacked you can Record the output to a file, the source can include physical audio devices as well such as sound cards and devices, USB radio sets such as the Audio Shark etc. You can Schedule these sources so that recording is activated and deactivated at certain times and much much much more. Fission is a small but yet simple and easy to use audio editor which can be integrated into Audio Hijack Pro's operation. For example, made a recording and wish to give it a trim? Press the Edit button in the Audio Hijack Pro application and the recording is loaded into Fission or any other audio editor for the Mac you set through Audio Hijack Pro's preferences. Nicecast is the application that makes broadcasting over the Internet a snap and - like Audio Hijack Pro - it hijacks both applications and physical sound sources, they're then streamed using a variety of methods including the widely used shoutcast so you can be up and broadcasting to the world with just one simple keystroke right out of the box as it were. airfoil for Windows and Mac is the great way to stream audio/video from one computer to an Airport Express or another computer, iphone or device using Airfoil Speakers, this companion application turns the computer into a remote pair of speakers. Like the products mentioned above, Airfoil Hijacks physical sound devices and other audio applications running and streams the audio to the target device. And finally, we have the best product yet I reckon from this company so let me quote you a small portion of the newsletter to put you in the picture regarding Radio Shift, this application allows you to search through thousands of radio stations on the Internet and associated programmes through a regularly updated programme guide database. Find something you think you'll like? Just set Radio Shift to handle it and the programme will be ready to play, even if it started playing 5 minutes ago you'll be able to hear it all in its entirety from and you can pause the audio whilst having a cup of tea letting Radio Shift take care of what remains to be recorded, anyway on with the quotation. 1. Radioshift 1.5 Is Here! Late last month, we released a major update to Radioshift, our internet radio player and recorder. This free update focused on improving many different aspects of Radioshift. To start, Radioshift now supports 1000s of new streams which were previously only available via web-based players, including some of the worldâ•˙s most popular streaming stations. Weâ•˙ve also worked to improve Radioshiftâ•˙s reliability. With version 1.5, when errors are detected with a stream, Radioshift will attempt to get the stream playing again by restarting it. It will also attempt to load backup streams when they're available. Even with less reliable streams, Radioshift will be working to make sure you get your audio, automatically. There are plenty of other updates in Radioshift 1.5, from an improved interface to support for transmitting its audio via Airfoil╉and much more! Best of all, all of this is entirely free for owners of Radioshift. So if you already use Radioshift and you're on Mac OS X 10.5 or higher, get it now.

WAX File Extension
Hi list: This may be considered a stupid question by some on here..but am gonna ask it anyway: what (exactly)..is a WAX file? Here's my reason for asking: a little while back, I managed to save something (or at least I thought I was saving it)..the program in question was a show that had been archived on the WSM (Nashville Tennessee Radio station)..website; at that time, I had no way to record the program, so I was able to save it (the file in question is a WAX file; the site has since changed..and that particular show has been removed..and the file that I saved? Well..it no longer will play! I tried converting it to an MP3 file, thinking it might play. But I got a message saying that the file was not a legitimate sound file (or something to that effect)..it suggested that I play the file and record it..which..of course, won't work for me because the file no longer play! So I guess my question is: is there any way I can make this file play? Or is it dead in the water.and the only thing I now can do with the file is to delete it? Hopefully I have explained this clearly enough so it is understandable! Thanks for listening. Tom Kaufman To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Hi Tom, I did a search for this file type, and I got two possible matches.

Re: Dynamic audio software for Mac and a little for Windows and Iphone
Simple! the programme starts recording the show at the scheduled time. Suppose you're out having a cup of tea or whatever and you return 5 minutes later to only find that the show's been going for the last 3 minutes, you can press the Play button to hear what's already been recorded over those last 3 minutes, in other words from the beginning of the recording, you can pause and resume as often as you need to - handy for when taking telephone calls and the like so when you pause playback, Radio Shift continues to record until the scheduled time is elapsed.
