A suggestion for a new feature of the Hope program that works with Pandora

2011-01-09 Thread Kevin Minor
Hi.

 

Last night, after hearing someone making favorable comments on the Hope
program, that gives you access to Pandora via a PC, I decided to buy it.  I
really like it.  One thing I've done is to copy and paste artist and title
information from the program into Amazon, and if it's a song I'd like to get
I'd buy it.

 

Here's where my suggestion comes into play.  If I remember, on the iPhone
you have the option to buy the song that Pandora is playing.  This would be
a really nice feature for Hope.  As I said, it's possible to copy and paste
what's in the edit fields into either iTunes or Amazon to get what you want.

 

I just thought I'd share this thought with others on the list.  I've sent
this suggestion to the author, and if others think this would be a
coolerific thing to have, then let the author know.  I'm not telling you all
to flood the author with requests, since I'm not in the advocacy business.
I'm just one voice out there with a thought, and if others think this would
be handy, just drop the author a note.

 

Have fun, and don't work too hard.

There Is HOPE For Pandora (Roger R. Cusson)

2011-01-09 Thread Ray
I found Reger'Roger's post on Pandora interesting, but I've never tried to 
listen

Two questions?

1.  Is this access to Pandora program in any way tied to a particular screen 
reader?

2. Is anyone outside the US accessing the site and all it's services?

Thanks.


Ray

Hi Ray.

I can't answer your question about using this software outside the U.S., but
I can answer the one about Hope being screen reader dependent.  I think it
will work well with any screen reader.  I use JAWS 12, but I don't think the
program is screen reader dependent.  It has hot keys to get to different
functions.  It's really nice to be able to have the program running and find
out the name of a rare song that you've been looking for.  For Example, I
found a long version of a Blondie song that I purchased last night.

Hope this is useful.

Re: lost my windows sounds

2011-01-09 Thread Bud Schwab
Thanks so much Brad, that sounds like just what I need.  I did try it 
but wasn't successful but will try again.  Actually I'm not sure how 
to select the sounds I want, do I just press spacebar on any of them 
that I want to highlight them?  It didn't say check when I did the 
spacebar.  I hate to impose on your  good nature, but could you just 
give it to me step by step so I would do it right?  This old 88 year 
old brain doesn't work as good as it used to, but I think I may be 
missing a step along the way there.  Thanks so much for your input 
and patience.

Bud,

Try going into  the Sounds  And Audio area, I'm assuming you're 
using XP. Make Windows Default your scheme and then do a Save As. 
Save it as Bud's Mix or something obvious. Then what I'd do is go in 
and set it to play a sound for something like closing a  program, 
opening a program, and stuff like that. Then   do another Save 
As.  When I did it it did not offer me any choices and I had to type 
in my  custom name again. It'll ask you if you are sure you want to 
save it as that name, because one is already named that. Press yes 
and then when you close the Sounds and Audio window or Control Panel 
you ought hear the close program sound if it worked. This way you 
ought have the default Windows plus  anything you customized while 
in there. When I was messign around, I lossed sound as well so made 
my own and its fine now.

Christopher,

Yes, I did try out the various .wav files and they all play just 
fine   I also checked all the volumes and they are all set to 
almost 500  and all the mutes are unchecked. Isn't that wild?

Thanks again.

Bud,

I also suppose you tried different sounds with no joy? You used 
the preview button or what ever it is to make sure you can hear 
the sounds and there's nothing wrong with the .wav files. Did you 
try listening to the .wav files directly with WMP or Winamp?


Also, when you go into your volume settings, did you double check 
to make sure that none of the different output sources were at 0% 
volume or muted?


I know I'm tossing out the obvious here, but I don't know what else to try.

The original question was pruned from the thread below, so I'm not sure 
what the original question was, but I remember reading that it might be 
possible to use Pandora if you have a proxy gateway in the US. I seem to 
recall that I was going to respond to the earlier post stating it would 
only work in the US, but then I thought maybe they were asking if anyone 
had had any luck using a proxy gateway.

Hi gang,

I don't think I asked this question on this list because 
I'm a pretty new
kid on the block, so if I did ask it before please forgive 
me.  A few months

ago all of a sudden I lost my windows sounds such as the starting and
shutting down of windows, and the sound that indicates hardware
disconnecting or connecting. I've checked all the volumes 
and made sure that

nothing is muted.  If I check the list of sounds
they are all there and work   My sound card is a S B live and I'm
running XP and windoweyes.  I can't think of anything I did 
at the time I
lost the sounds as far as downloading or installing any 
program or anything
like that, they just all of a sudden disappeared.  Any 
thoughts would sure

be appreciated.  I sure miss them.
Thanks..

RE: Accessable Hard Drive for Hi Fi

You may have a problem if the external drive goes into standbye mode 
as some of them do.  The spin-up process, then the reading process 
may as has been mentioned, rely for smoothe audio results depend on 
some player buffering.

You can probably set a reasonable size cache on the external drive as well.

Others on this list will know better than I do about such things however.

Good luck.

I was thinking it would be slow whenever you were copying files over to
or from the USB drive over that 1.1 USB connection. I'm not sure if the
access rate over a 1.1 USB connection would be so slow as to effect your
ability to play audio off a drive attached to such a port. It would
probably work, but your player may have to do a tiny bit of buffering.

There's a few things you can do to see if you have more hard drive space
out there. When you go into My computer, do you see any other drives
listed besides the C drive? If so, they may be other partitions on your
hard drive.

You can also use Windows Disk Management to see how your hard drive is
partitioned. Go to your desktop, arrow over to My Computer, and hit the
shift+f10, right mouse button or applications key to bring up the
context menu. Arrow down to Manage and hit enter. Now you can arrow down
to Storage, Disk Management and then tab over to check out how your
drive is partitioned.

 You will free up space by deleting programs you aren't using, but
 depending on the programs, it probably won't be very much. How much
 data are you talking about transferring? Are any other partitions
 besides C listed? there may be a recovery partition that you could
 steal, if you don't care about ever recovering the machine or if you
 already have recovery CD's burned. BTW, what OS is running on this
 machine?

 When you ask about additional memory, are you talking about RAM or
 hard drive space? How much RAM is there now? Prices on memory and hard
 drives only come down, so finding hardware for older systems can end
 up costing you enough to make it worth buying a real cheap low end
 system. Since it's a laptop, you'd have to replace the drive that's
 there, which would mean a lot of work reinstalling Windows onto the
 new hard drive, assuming you have a license and the install media for
 Windows. Depending on how much RAM you have and how much the laptop
 will support, you may be able to add more, but this probably won't buy
 you anything when it comes to storing media files on the hard drive.
 Something like Crucial.com at http://www.crucial.com/ can take you
 through the RAM upgrade process.

 You could use an external drive, but I think you'd find the speed
 frustrating.

When you go into Start - Control Panel - Sounds, check to make 
sure that your sound scheme hasn't changed. Ditto for the 
default Windows audio output device.

Bud,

Which operating system are you using? If XP, did you go to 
sounds and audio

devices in the control panel?

Subject: lost my windows sounds

Hi gang,

I don't think I asked this question on this list because I'm a pretty new
kid on the block, so if I did ask it before please forgive 
me.  A few months

ago all of a sudden I lost my windows sounds such as the starting and
shutting down of windows, and the sound that indicates hardware
disconnecting or connecting. I've checked all the volumes and 
made sure that

nothing is muted.  If I check the list of sounds
they are all there and work   My sound card is a S B live and I'm
running XP and windoweyes.  I can't think of anything I did at the time I
lost the sounds as far as downloading or installing any program 
or anything
like that, they just all of a sudden disappeared.  Any thoughts 
would sure

be appreciated.  I sure miss them.
Thanks..

RE: There Is HOPE For Pandora (Roger R. Cusson)

2011-01-09 Thread Adrian Spratt
Ray,

I think I remember you live in the UK. A friend in England reported that his
visit to Pandora brought up a message saying it is so far unavailable there.


On this list, Roger suggested trying a proxy server to overcome national
boundaries. It's been a while, but when I looked into that possibility, it
seemed very complicated. 

My friend in England had urged me to try Spotify as a Pandora alternative,
but it's available over there, not in the US. Good news for you, I hope. He
isn't a screenreader user, so I can't vouch for its accessibility, but I
vaguely recall positive messages on this list.

I found Reger'Roger's post on Pandora interesting, but I've never tried to
listen

Two questions?

1.  Is this access to Pandora program in any way tied to a particular screen
reader?

2. Is anyone outside the US accessing the site and all it's services?

Thanks.


Ray
