Re: Winamp Version 5.091 Final is now Available

Steve, I'm having problems locating the final version of Winamp 5.  I
downloaded the olde version of Winamp 5.91, but they say there's a
security flaw in it.  So can you give me some more navigational tips as

Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback

2005-05-24 Thread Kevin Shields
I've had mini disc recorders since 1996 and really love them.  I have the
sony 505, and even though it doesn't have a mike input, I use it to
listen to music while I ring bells during xmas time for the Salvation
Army. I do have a sony MZR90.  An it's one of the older portable models
and it does have a mike input.  The only thing is when you get in to the
menue, you need to keep track of the amount of times you move the wheel
to keep track of which function you want to go too.  I also have an
MDSJE480 home minidis recorder, and I really love it.  That one and the
505 portable will play the LP2 LP4 and the SP sampling rates.  But the
MZR90 will only play the SP sampling rates.  The MDSJE 480 doesn't have a
mike input.  I do have a stereo tie clip mike I use for the MZR90.  It's
a cheap mike, but really it sounds quite nice.  the only draw back with
the MZR90 is that you can't move it around much while in the record mode,
or it will mistrack.  But over all I like the minidisk format quite well.

 That was
 a step in the wrong direction from Olympus.
 
 I would go for a Mini-disk but it seems they all have some sort of

Re: nero or cd burning question

2004-11-29 Thread Kevin Shields
Marie, good advice on blank CD's.  I have yet to find that I have a
problem with CD's I've burned in my computer, but I'm sure that time will
come.  But I've had to throw away CD's that have errored in my home CD
recorder.  With kassettes, there was always, or most of the time if
something went wrong, you could maybe fix the tape, by splicing it or
what ever. But with a CD, when it errors, or you get a bad CD, the only
thing you can do is to use it as a koster, or throw it away. When I get a
CD that's bad, I hold it over the trash canand in to the trash can a bit,
bend it in half till it brakes.  But be careful of the sharp edges of the
small pieces, when you do this.  They tend to fly.  That's why I hold the
CD in to the trash can before braking it.  Sure is a good way to take out
your frustrations on a bad CD.

 Marty, I have had CD's not play properly
 and had to reburn the mp3 music on a
 ifferent brand disc which works better.
 The cheaper the disc, you lose data on
 the cheaper ones after some time.  There
 is no setting I can find in Nero that
 will fix this.  When I disc does not
 burn successfully, or completely, what
 happens is you have some dead tracks,
 and the dead disc is referred to in my
 circle as a coaster.  You can either
 use it as a coaster or throw it away.
 Some brands are much better than others
 at holding our data.  I'd stick with
 Imation from Office Max or Regata from
 Radio Shack.  Something that is a more
 reliable brand and will work every time.
 The cheaper the disc, well, it's like
 buying the cheapest cassette, and you
 know what happens there: bad quality
 sound and tapes very uneven in
 recording.
 
 Also, I have Nero set to play a trumpet
 sound when a disc is burned successfuly;
 a dragon when it is not.  When the
 dragon sounds, I just throw the disc
 out, because I know there is nothing I
 can do to fix it.  You burn CDR's once.
 Rewriteable discs, you can burn for a
 limited amount of time.  Some CDRW discs
 I bought, I found some bad ones in the
 pack, as well.  There is no way for a
 blind person to tell when a bad one's
 coming up until it is burned.  Yes, it's
 annoying!
 
 The other thing I had to do is slow my
 burner speed down.  52x is too fast for
 my processor.  When I talked to someone
 at Radio Shack about this, that's when
 they told me this.  I thought that could
 be the trouble, but had to have someone
 else confirm it.  Radio Shack sells
 computers, too.  I guess you did not
 know this.  Also, if you are ever in the
 market for a new computer in the future,
 why not ring Excell here in Sacramento
 about it when you're ready?  They sell
 computers to the Society for the Blind
 here, and won't treat you like a dummy.
 In fact, I am thinking of getting them
 to fix me up with my next system.  You
 remember Excel, don't you?  And, of
 course, that's where Curt got his
 computer.  I'm sorry my answer baffles
 you in some way, but I have to tell you
 that not all CD's are created equal.  I
 stay away from real cheap ones, even if
 the deal sounds good.  I'd reather pay a
 little more for good blank discs I can
 rely on year after year.  It's very
 crucial to me.

Re: Need reccomendations on boomboxes

2004-11-07 Thread Kevin Shields
Terry, Could it be that your NPR station is weaker than the Christian
station next to it? Most Walkmans and boom boxes have very lose front
ends.  What I mean by that is, that they don't reject multipath
interference that well.  So stronger stations almost always blead over in
to the weaker ones.  For example, here In Colorado Springs, Colorado
where I live, I work for an NPR station that for all intense and purposes
has a weaker signal than stations around it.  Our power output is only
2300 watts off the top of Cheyenne mountain.  That's just west of
Colorado Springs, and it's where all the FM TV and other UHF VHF
communications transmitters are located.  And of course a radioor tuner
with a loosefront end will pick up all that interference coming off the
mountain.  I have a walkman, it's a Sony, one of their sportsman models. 
TheA.M. isn't too bad for a radio that small.  But the FM has a local
distance switch, and it's tuned with a nob. But in order to get KRCC in
most sections of town, I have to use the local setting.  If I use the
distance setting on F.M.  I can't even find the signal.  So in order to
get KRCC, I have to have a real good radio like the CC radio by C Crane
or the GE  super radio 3.  My ICF 2010 by Sony will get it.  And my tuner
on my stereo will get it.  So what I'd do is to test out the boom boxes
before you buy one, and make sure it will receive the station you want to
listen too.  If I can help you any further, please let me know.
Take care,
Kevin

 Ah! well I think from your message you're referring to selectivity 
 of the tuner
 when you talk about stations bleeding.
 
 Well... (speaking of the Panasonic RX-ED50 which I mentioned in my 
 post), I can
 tell you that you won't! get this problem, that Sony Boom-Box you're 
 referring
 to sounds a very cheap and nasty product to me if its doing that.
 
 The difference between digital tuning and analog? Well... digital 
 tuning is far
 more accurate that is to say, if you wish to tune to a frequency of 
 1080KHZ,
 then that's exactly what the set or tuner is tuned to with no drift 
 etc.
 
 Digital tuned radios have had a problem of not being very sensitive 
 though this
 is changing now with better designs, better sheelding etc.
 
 An analog radio is tuned by a knob whereas digital tuned radios are 
 tuned with
 buttons.  To go back to the Panasonic set I have, to tune in a 
 station, you use
 the up/down tuning buttons, these go up/down in 9KHZ steps (that's 
 the standard
 frequency step for all Medium-Wave radio receivers outside the 
 U.S.).  When you
 hold down either up or down, the set goes into SEEK mode (that is, 
 the set
 looks for a strong signal and locks onto it).
 
 Once you've tuned a signal, you can assign the frequency to a memory 
 or preset,
 the Panasonic boom-box I have has 24 presets and they can be 
 recalled by either
 turning a dial (which clicks) on the top of the unit or by typing in 
 the preset
 number on the remote control keypad.
 
 Hope this answers some of your questions.

 Hello everyone,
 First of all, I'd like to say thank you for your thoughts so far, on 
 this
 situation.
 Now I have a couple more questions.
 If I purchase a different boombox, than the Sony I bought, is it 
 likely that
 I'll run into the same problem I have with this one?
 I want to be able to pick up NPR without getting that Christian 
 station
 bleeding in.  Like I said, I never had this problem with my analog 
 boombox.
 Also, how exactly does digital tuning work?  And how is it different 
 from
 analog tuning?
 
 I was able to find two boomboxes on the Circuit City website, that 
 use
 analog tuning.  However, they are made by brands that I'm not 
 familiar with.
 I don't want to buy one of them, to just have to replace it a few 
 months
 later, because it wasn't that good.
 One was made by Nexxtech.
 And I believe the other one was made by ESA, but I'm not sure if I'm
 remembering that exactly right or not.
 Has anyone ever heard of either of these brands?  If so, do you know 
 how
 good their stuff is, or isn't?
 Thank you,

 Okay, I don't understand.  How can this be dooable?  The screen seems

 what one is listening to, for one thing.
 What if I want to find, Deep Tracks, for instance?  How do I find 
 that?
 What I did to, which seemed to work a little bit, was set jaws to 
 not refresh flash automaticly, or rather, turn refresh flash off.
 But, now the idea here is to be able to scroll through the list of 
 channels, since you only see a few at a time.

 I have found that if I use the up and down arrow along with tabbing, 
 I
 can get around just fine.  
 
 Now, the flash doesn't work real well.  But, if I am curious about a
 song that is playing, I click the button for the artist or the 
 station
 again and XM shows me what the artist is, the track and the album.
 
 Now, my question is, why, on the weekends, do they play things that 
 are
 a week old but go live during the week.

 You can click on the buttons that says decades, news, sports, etc. 
 Once
 done, you'll see channels for that genre you chose. It is more of a
 visual thing, but I had little success with it. I believe I didn't 
 see
 the entire channel lineup for the genre I chose, but was friendly
 enough. I wouldn't pay $7.95, ($3.95 for subscribers) a month for
 something I couldn't fully use. I would have gotten in touch with 
 tech
 support, but I'd rather pay for the satellite than the web.

 Hi Ray and Doc,
 
 Kathy Arnold here.  I tried to sign up for XM Radio online last 
 night.
 I experienced the same problem as you guys did.  So, I called their 
 tech
 support.  Actually, I called the 800 number and they transferred me 
 to
 tech support.  Anyway, they weren't very helpful.  ?They tried, but 
 they
 were unable to tell me how to make the XM online accessible.  I'd be
 curious to know if you guys get any farther then I did.  Have a good
 one.

  Hi,
  You should be able to put a big pile of mp3 songs on a cd. 
  Simply 
  make a data cd and you should fit around a hundred and fifty songs 
 on the 
  disc.  I recently made a friend a bluegrass cd and put 198 songs 
 on it. 
  He has a car sterio that can play that type of cd.  Some sterios 
 play 
  them, others do not.  Many of the portable cd players play mp3 
 cd's as 
  well as standard cd's.

 Hi, everybody.
 
 I like making compilation CD's of songs from various artists and 
 average 
 about 16 to 17 songs per Audio CD.  I also prefer dot wav files, 
 as they 
 don't sound canned like MP3 files.  Could I put a big pile of 
 songs onto 
 a DVD?  Do I require any special hardware or software?  Will the 
 finished 
 product play in a home stereo CD player?

 Do you have to have a DVD burner to use them? I have a CD burner

 a

 I was thinking since the capacity of the DVD disk is larger that 
 it could 
 be
 useful to back up some large folders on to them and remove them

 cd's on
   it,   used
  it
 to rip a couple of cd's, and actually copied a cd to it 
 from
  mycd
 drive.  I have a sony dvd plus r.

 Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: extracting the audio from a DVD

2004-10-11 Thread Kevin Shields
What do you want to save the audio from a DVD on? I have a DVD player,
and I wanted to listen to the Concert for George, last Christmas while I
was ringing bells for the Salvation Army.  I recorded the entire audio
track on a mini disk.  I had to use the LP2 sampling rate.  Cause the
whole thing was 3 hours.  I could only take it off the analogue output. 
I tried using the Toslink optical output, but didn't get any sound.  So
the analogue output was the only way to go.  Then I took it with me on my
portable mini disk   recorder and listened to it while I rang bells.
Hope this helps.

Re: question about recording books

2004-07-08 Thread Kevin Shields
And my A P H desk top machine, that I purchased a couple of years ago,
doesn't have this cross talk problem.  But I do have some small problem
with cross talk on my Sony 2 track stereo recorder that's modified to
play NLS tapes, that I purchased from   I R T I last year.  But it's
really not legible.  You have to put your ear to either speaker to here
it, and that's when there's silent portions on the talkingbook tape.

 about it.
 When I played the tape in my NLS machine, I had to turn the volume

 could hear
 noise, I believe from the other track.  It wasn't coming threw real 
 loud,
 but it was noticeable.
 What do you all think?  Is it something with my tape recorder, or 
 is this
 sort of thing normal?
 I'm using TDK tapes, and I've always thought that was a good brand.
 Any thoughts on this will be much appreciated.

Re: Setting a turn-Table Pitch Control?

2004-05-15 Thread Kevin Shields
Yeah, just find a song that you're framiliar with on CD, then hopefully
you have that same song on vinal.  And then plug a pair of phones in to
your CD player, and only use 1 ear.  Then plug another pair of phones in
to your amp, and use the one ear from the second pair of phones.  Then
try and start them both at the same time.  Make sure they're as close
together as you can get them.  Then adjust your pitch control on your
turntable, until it matches the pitch with your CD version.  I've have
done it and it can take some time, so please be patient.
Hope this helps,

 The turntable has a pitch control for fine-tuning the speed. I don't

 Has someone else out there found a solution to this problem?
