also if you don't mind doing each file individually you can edit them
in winamp, go to propperties, alt and 3.

Re: Accessible CD Ripping Program

[Robert Godridge]

Exact audio copy does have a database, yes.
There's a program called vuplayer that I use that has simply the best
cd database I've ever seen, often if eac doesn't have a disc I'll load
vuplayer and export it.

Re: best way to play/stream music through a house?

[Robert Godridge]

We will have a sony docking thingy (I forget which moddle) in the living room.
I'd love to be able to send the audio from my mixer wirelessly to this
or through bluetooth. I'm a record collector and have my turntable
hooked up through my mixer as well as my computer, which is able to
listen to my turntable/rest of my mixer through phono cables. Does
this make sense?

Re: best way to play/stream music through a house?

[Robert Godridge]

We have amazon ecco but like Dane said, flac would be an issue.

I have a very analog setup, an old numarc mixer with a generic
soundcard going to my computer but that would have to change to stream
throughout the house and I know it.
I like the idea of Cast To I'd not heard of it!

I'm just curious, what would be the best way to play/stream audio
throughout the house these days?
Does anyone know of any accesseable wireless speakers for example, or
streaming servers that can be used with them?

Re: how on earth do you play/record this audio stream?

This is indeed odd. I'm running win 7 32 bit and firefox, clicked on
the link, waited what felt like ages, no audio. Firefox is up full
volume etc.
Are these buttons in the embedded object unlabeled for everyone?
I'll try recording it with sound forge which I have.

Re: Amazon Echo Alexa

[Robert Godridge]

We just got an ecco dot as a wedding present and will be playing about
with it later in the week. It has been set up. We're in the u.s,
moving to the u.k though.
Let's say I wanted it to play the album blue by Joni Mitchell, what's
the sintax? is it play album blue by Joni Mitchell or what? I assume
amazon has quite a bit of music...
I'm a classical fan as is she so we'll be doing quite a bit of sintax

Re: using exact audio copy, or another program to convert cd's to flac

[Robert Godridge]

Hi,
If you do go for eac (I would) here is a file that should make it
easier. All my perfect flac settings are in this file, go to profiles
in the file menue, then import and see what you get. Here's the file
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17525699/EACProfile.cfg

Also if you want to test for errors before copying, press f4. Takes
longer but I think it's worth it.

Re: using exact audio copy, or another program to convert cd's to flac

[Robert Godridge]

I spent hours setting up my eac. Perhaps I can send you my profile
file if you're interested and I can work out how. I'm a member of a
very stringent private torrents site so these rips are perfect.

 Subject: downloading from a site that streams audio but doesn't allow
 downloads

  Hi folks

 The subject line might seem kind of simple, but it's the only way I can
 think of to describe the situation.  Here's what's happening.  There's a
 specific website that allows you to listen to audio content, but it
 doesn't offer links to download said content.  I'm pretty sure there has
 to be a way to do it though. it uses an html 5 player, which most
 screenreaders can recognize, so listening to the audio is no problem.
 It offers podcast feeds, but it only offers the last 10 or so items
 posted, and I'd like to get a lot more of it.  At one time it did allow
 downloads but has since stopped for whatever reason.  Just so everyone
 can have a look, the website is:
 http://www.formatchange.com
 This is a website that allows you to listen to different radio stations
 changing formats. Kind of geeky, but I've been a radio nut for years so
 I like this sort of thing and i'm willing to bet others do too.  So if
 there's any software that'll allow me to capture this audio, I'd love to
 get ahold of it and capture some more of this stuff.

 Thanks guys!


 Chris

 second one that's described.

 What's wrong with making a youtube video?
 everything else is in text. the web page is text, the project sight is
 text, etc.
 What is wrong with a video so that sighted people can actually see the
 thing?
 and if they're trying to get it premoted that is because they need
 backing. I
 don't see anything wrong with that.
 I really think people should be told about this.

  The video is mostly meant for sighted people, but do read the web

  is
  much more detailed.
  You can save things on it I'm guessing, sinse it mentions being able
  to
  save
  the face of a loved one etc so I'm guessing that there are presets

The video is mostly meant for sighted people, but do read the web
sight it is much more detailed.
You can save things on it I'm guessing, sinse it mentions being able
to save the face of a loved one etc so I'm guessing that there are
presets somewhere in there.

The potential of this thing is enormous, you guys must realise that.
No more wondering what something in a shop is with this as one tiny

it fits on a pair of glasses. People walk around with glasses on all
the time it's not like you're having to carry it about with you.

Yes, I'd rather have it from a human. I think we all would. But that's
not always going to happen is it?

This is the single most exciting blind related thing I've ever heard
about, seriously life-changing stuff.

Not if you're in a busy street and you do not know they are there.

It doesn't seem like hype to me. and let's face it, if it isn't hype
and is genuine wouldn't you say it's pretty amazing? it can read books
to you aparrently and personally I'd be willing to risk a bit of
funding for such a life-changing thing.
I've spent money on things I hardly use, cds I hardly play, etc, but
the point is if this doesn't get the funding it needs and is what they
say it is and can do what they say it can, the entire blind comunity
is seriously missing out.
Why don't those of us with specific questions ask the developers them?

Re: horus: the invisible made audio, please please read and share

[Robert Godridge]

What's wrong with making a youtube video?
everything else is in text. the web page is text, the project sight is
text, etc. What is wrong with a video so that sighted people can
actually see the thing?
and if they're trying to get it premoted that is because they need
backing. I don't see anything wrong with that.
I really think people should be told about this.

On 12/28/14, Alexandra Grünauer al.gruena...@gmx.de wrote:
 I assume to a person who's been blind from birth looking at a certain thing

 If people don't even think when doing a promotion video they most certainly
 don't have blind people in mind but only profit. I'd be very careful with
 your hopes, if I were you. This can only lead to disappointment.

 Take care,

Not so much, because I always forget to have it on me and you have to

blind djs: beatmatching with software, loads of questions

[Robert Godridge]

Hi folks,
so, I have been a vinyl dj for about 15 years now, sinse I was a kid!
and I have no intention of putting the decks away, but with the
ammount of great new tracks coming out it's time to get into mp3s I
think.
so, do any of you blind folk know of a decent, accessable, intuative
set up that enables you to beatmatch mp3s as seemlessly as possible?
I'm imagining it's possible that for example the up and down arrows
could be used to control the pitch or they would on my ideal set up.
zulu dj software is the best I've found so far but I can't figure out
the beatmatching though it looks easy!
I am quite a perfectionist, that's what vinyl djing gets you used to
so I can tell off beats a mile off...
if any of you guys dj and would be willing to go through your setup
that would be really great. I mostly play minimal techno, drum and
bass etc so quick fades just won't cut it.
cheers,
Rob

Re: blind djs: beatmatching with software, loads of questions

[Robert Godridge]

Hi Aidan,
zulu dj seems very accesseable to me with nvda, the beatmatching is
the only part that isn't and it's doing my head in!
if you're going to do discos and parties I couldn't recommend it
highly enough, i did one last month with it with no problems at all.
but yeah, beatmatching just doesn't want to work, and it's really
doing my head in.
any ideas anyone?

Re: blind djs: beatmatching with software, loads of questions

yeah, I love cdjs too, but it would be nice to have the mp3 option,
and with the amount of stuff i have it just isn't practical to have it
all on cds/data discs.

I can't see how to do it manually with zulu. am i being slow? is there
actually a way to do that?
you should try it again mate. all the menues are accesseable.

sure, I'll let this list know if i find anything, but hopefuly someone
has an idea.

 ammount of great new tracks coming out it's time to get into mp3s I
 think.
 so, do any of you blind folk know of a decent, accessable, intuative
 set up that enables you to beatmatch mp3s as seemlessly as possible?
 I'm imagining it's possible that for example the up and down arrows
 could be used to control the pitch or they would on my ideal set up.
 zulu dj software is the best I've found so far but I can't figure out
 the beatmatching though it looks easy!
 I am quite a perfectionist, that's what vinyl djing gets you used to
 so I can tell off beats a mile off...
 if any of you guys dj and would be willing to go through your setup
 that would be really great. I mostly play minimal techno, drum and
 bass etc so quick fades just won't cut it.
 cheers,
 Rob

first post: best mp3 player for a totaly blind user

[Robert Godridge]

Hello all.
I'm sorry if this has been discussed loads of times before, I'm new to
the list and unsure how to search passed messages.

I am totaly blind and am looking for an mp3 player. here are a few points.
i am using a sony nwz model at the moment, this is fine but it's only
16 gb. I have about 3 tb of music and collect records, so this is
getting to be not nearly enough even for day to day use, especially if
i go on holidays.
I don't care if it talks or not, in a lot of ways i'd rather it didn't.
I know that you can get big takling ipods, but I don't think I like
those too much.
The most important thing for me is that on my sony I can use the up
and down to go back and forth by album and left and right by track. I
love this feature about it, but I would like something with simple
menues so that if I so wish I can put it on shuffle for a while.

Do you folks have any suggestions to check out?
sorry for the long post!
Rob.

Unfortunately not. I don't think so anyway, I see no sd card slot on it.
I would highly recommend it to any other blind users, but I would
really like something a bit bigger. there is a 32 gb model, but it is
aparrently not as accessable as it's touch screan. can anyone conferm
this?

 can you use a sd card with that player? the reason i ask is if you like
 it that much, you could keep it and just buy a bunch of sd cards if it
 lets you do that.

Hi all,
I'll have a look at that Milestone 312, how much does it hold by defalt?
do you have one, Humberto, and if so what do you like best about it?
reply off list if you'd rather.

Yeah, that ez thing sounds amazing!
but the price tag on it is bound to be enormous, so it might not be an
option rite away and to be honest as I do quite a bit of travelling
around I'd rather have something sooner rather than later.
please keep the ideas coming!
Rob

 Hi,
 I think you should wait a short time, and buy the new Blaze EZ From Hims
 International.
 It's gonna be the best portable device for blind people ever.

 Best regards
 Brian

 I like Milestone 312, it can use an SD card of up to 32 GB.  It has good
 sound.

Hi Gerardo,
does the Sansa Zip take the 32 gb sd cards?
and the click plus as well?

Have you used yours with the larger sd cards and how did it work?
that sounds like a great option to me rite now.
thanks,
Rob
keep the ideas coming!

   Also the Sansa Clip plus and Sansa Zip? Yes I understand you aren't
 fond of blindness products, but these are mainstream players one can buy
 in stores, having to oneself put Rockbox on them so they can turn into
 Talking MP3 ones. My experiences with these have been great! I've got a
 Sansa Clip Plus and Sansa Zip: both hold Micro SD cards. Good luck!

Re: first post: best mp3 player for a totaly blind user

[Robert Godridge]

yeah, this looks like a great idea!
if I do get one could you tell me how to put rockbox on it, if that
does talk? or are the menues very simple?
I'd love to hear more ideas.
