First, I needed to use an older TV with our Apple TV and I bought a small converter for around $35 through Amazon that has an HDMI input and two Analog Out and a video out. I ended up running the analog out to a stereo instead and it sounded good. an HDMI cable was not included nor is a power supply, but I had to run mine from a USB power source for it to run reliably. There is also a switch that allows one to choose between two color display systems. Second, there is an audio optical output on the Apple TV and there are converters that will convert from Optical output to Analog output. I believe I saw those on Amazon as well.

Re: The World Ends With The Demise Of Winamp
Other rippers use GraceNote. I’m an iTunes man lately but I don’t think GraceNote is depending on Winamp so you should be able to find other means of accessing tag info.

Secondly, its not what I like or don't like that is essentual to this discussion, fact is that you can use Winamp whenever and wherever you like, it makes no difference to me or anyone else, only thing is that the product won't be updated after December 20 etc so I repeat again, much ado about nothing and look forward to Christmas as the world will not end of 20 December just because of the end of Winamp.

For example I've just looked up Windows Media Player Keyboard Shortcuts using my friend Google and discovered over 200 keyboard shortcuts. I know VLC has hundreds of the damn things and even more if you're prepared to take a few moments to customise the software. I'm yet to find what iTunes doesn't do that Winamp does. The interface is different and takes a little getting used to I admit. If you're prepared to spend a small amount of money you can buy one of the most exciting pieces of audio software for the Windows PC to ever have been invented on the planet and that's Total Recorder, the player is incredibly powerful even for the Standard Edition. And finally, supposing Winamp is a spent force come December 20 then there's nothing at all stopping anyone from using the software if they see fit though that may mean that the software won't be able to play any audio/video formats that come our way in the future. As I said, much ado about nothing and Joy To The World come December 20, so fitting that this event is so close to Christmas Day smile.

Linksys WMB54G... What am I doing wrong?
Hi, So CompUSA was selling out its XP compatible versions of this music bridge, a device that will supposedly stream your music from your computer with your media player of choice, to your home entertainment center. I installed the software... Read the manual... Ran the setup... Found it mildly inaccessible-but-still-more-or-less-usable... Connected the WMB54G via EtherNet to my 2Wire router, set up the password and such... Then, I unplugged the WMBg54, moved it to a position closer to my stereo, plugged it in, plugged in the two RCA cables into the jack in my stereo designed to accommodate a player... Set Winamp to recognize the installed audio driver... Started Winamp, and I'm hearing nothing from my stereo. I read something on a support forum I didn't understand which seemed to say... You have to switch to the WMB54g and then back to your computer if you want to hear something. I have no idea what that person meant by switching... Has anyone used this device and if yes, what did you do to get it to work wirelessly? If I can't get it to work wirelessly, I'll just buy a long Ethernet cable and try it with the machine connected to the router, but I'm hoping it'll work via the wireless route.

RE: Magic Jack... Yes!!!
You change your jfw.ini file because the Magic Jack is an audio device. Any time you introduce a new audio device, there's the possibility-likelihood that Jaws will become inappropriately enamored of that new device and start trying to speak through it instead of the sound card you normally use. There's a step-by-step article on the Freedom Scientific site which you can find by searching on a telling string like say Two sound cards That will show you how to find the system-recognized name of your preferred audio device and then how to modify your jfw.ini file so that Jaws will always use only that card.

RE: So does Magic Jack work with JAWS?
I haven't received mine yet, but it's got one end that connects to a USB port in your computer and the other end connects to a telephone. You apparently plug it in; It installs itself to your computer and you can call long-distance anywhere in the United States for about $19.95 a year. You can probably call other places, but I can't remember the specifics of that. Go to http://www.magicjack.com And yes, apparently, with a little up front caution, it does work well with screen readers.

I'd love to have a company like Humanware or others market a product which is actually finished, but after the latest firmware was released, I must say it was worth the wait. I just read 2 books on audible this weekend. The compression where one can speed up a book without listening to chipmonks is fantastic. This type of listening takes some getting used to, but it is the best I've heard to date. The tone and other adjustments are a personal taste and itseems there was improvements here to. I've been also impressed on the navigational improvements. One should take note that sdhc cards might need a reformat to work after the upgrade, as mine was not recognized for playing files after the update. I reformatted the card and all is well.

Re: Media Monkey
It's not particularly speech friendly, but it will reorganize vast tundras (horribly big and disorganized folders) of mp3's and attempt to group them by artist, album etc. I did get that feature to work which is nice, but I could never get it to work well with Jaws.

Re: Winamp takes for ever to rip
Hi, The free Winamp takes a long time to rip by design. Winamp pro will take forever to rip unless you make sure you have all visualization stuff uninstalled, and that you're using the classic skin, not the modern skin. I finally got it to rip, but the mp3's it produces are sometimes a bit skippy/jittery. I still think Easy Cdda Extractor is the best ripper out there, but that's just me.

Re: What is Album Wrap?
Album wrap is a program to make one mp3 out of an album, while preserving the tag data for each song. I've never used it, but I've used Album Wrap Extractor, its free companion program which splits the big mp3 created by Album Wrap back into its original parts. The only problem with it is that some people apparently don't encode the albw files properly, and one can spend hours getting a file, thinkingone will have the complete album to split into its individual tracks, and then be told upon attempting the extraction This is not a valid album Wrap archive.. Brad On Sun, 23 Jan 2005 09:44:55 -0500, you wrote: Hello everyone, As my subject says, I'd like to know what Album Wrap is. How does it work? And why would you want to use it? I recently got some CD's, and these files are MP3's. The person used Album Wrap I believe. The files say, ALBW in them, so I'm assuming that means Album Wrap. Anyway, when I try to play these CD's, they will play. However, in certain spots on the albums, my CD player makes this odd noise, and not like the CD's are messed up either. These are live albums, and I hear this noise when the people clap after a song. Also, I had one of these albums on my computer, and when I play it using Real Player, the audio stops whenever the people clap. I don't know if it would start back up on it's own or not, because I never wait for it to. I just rewind it back a bit, then fast forward threw the clapping, until the next song. So, can I change the format of these files, using Goldwave? I want to keep them as mp3's, and I'd like to keep the album as a whole, sense it is live. I'm just not too sure what the best way to do that is. Any help on this will be much appreciated.

Slow Rips With Winamp Pro
Hi, Does anyone know why Winamp Pro is ripping so slow for me? I've got Winamp 5.07, properly registered (as far as I know) as Winamp pro, but the rip takes as long or longer than it would to simply play the disk. I get normal rip speeds using Easy Cd-Da Extractor, so I am puzzled as to what's causing this issue with Winamp Pro. any information would be appreciated.

Album Wrap
Album Wrap is a program for archiving multiple mp3 files into one big mp3. I don't know how this is accomplished, but the archive, itself an mp3 can be played via Winamp or any other such mp3 playing software. The archive can be split up into its original components by using Album Wrap's companion program, Album Extractor, and these files also have their proper mp3 tags such that they'll show up properly named in Winamp. I can't remember the web site, but if you do a Google on Album Wrap, you'll soon be awash in possibilities of attaining this software, which I think sells for $15. The Extractor program is free, and yes, the Extractor program is accessible with Jfw 5 on Windows XP, and I bet it would work on whatever else you might be using.
