Plug 'N Power Mics?
I need to find out where to get a Plug 'N Power stereo mic for use with the Plextalk Pocket PTP 1. Guess it works like phantom power but without balanced input I'm not sure how it is powered but I do want a good quality stereo mic for on location recording in high quality mp3 using the Plextalk. Any ideas will be most appreciated.

Re: APE Monkeys Audio
Well, I just downloaded an exe file from Monkey's Audio that said it was the right thing. It did have a Winamp plug in.exe which I ran.

Re: winamp question
Well, most of what you want are just Winamp's own hotkeys and will work whether you use Jaws or anything or no screen reader at all. Up and Down arrows control voluneand left and right arrow keys control pan. If Jaws is running the correct script everything should speak and there are a few extra keys that will set the paning to different values. Open the Jaws main window, open file menue and go down to Manage Program Settings. In there you should see Winamp if you've made any change at all to it. Make sure the checkbox for Winamp is checked and it should run those settings when Winamp is in focus. And Winamp does need to have focus for any of the Jaws settings to work. You can run Winamp in the background while doing other work, but you can't control it unless it has focus. That could be the problem. Good luck!

Re: mpg to wav
Don't really know of any key strokes for configuring CDex. All you need to do is choose the CD reader and also choose the type of conversion you want to do. All this can be found in the settings tabs and they can be activated by the F4 key but also from the pull down menu bar. Once you have settings open you'll be able to navigate around and set for the bit rate and sample rate of your mp3 files and so on as well as many other things which I don't even understand after using it for over 10 years so don't worry about them. If you don't understand what a setting does just leave it at default until you learn how to use it later on. Just hit the F1 key and read through the help files a bit and it will become very easy to use.

Re: PROBLEMS WITH THE NEWEST GOLDWAVE 5.5
For some reason the new Goldwave doesn't recognize the earlier Lame encoder. However, if you're on line, it will come up with a box offering to download it for you. Just choose the OK button and the new encoder will be downloaded and installed for you. It will then continue and save your file in mp3 format. Only thing I've noticed is this new version of the encoder isn't nearly as fast or efficient as the earlier one. Not a problem with an average single song, but when saving longer files, such as chapters in a spoken word book, the increased time is very noticable. Haven't used it enough yet to find if the encoded files sound better than before but I would hope the extra time would be worth something.

I use a little freebee called Stream Ripper for Winamp. After you install it, it always comes up when you start Winamp but it isn't running--just ready for you. You first get the stream started and then use your screen reader's systray access. You'll find stream ripper for winamp in the list. Just do a single right click on it. You'll get a pop up list and it is very easy to use. It just has start ripping, stop ripping and exit. It also has a settings or maybe its called options that you can use to select the destination folder to put the ripped files into (called output directory) You can also select never overwrite partial which I would select because if the stream is interrupted it will overwrite what you already have when it resumes. With this checked, it just keeps making separate files so you'll have a recording of everything you heard. Hope this helps.

Re: Question about the Enqueue in Winamp feature and very cheap butusable Sound USB cards
You can indeed either edit or create a playlist in Notepad. Just be careful to save it with the extension .m3u instead of .txt and winamp will play it! There's also a nifty little program I use called dirlist. If you have a folder containing music files and they are in the order you want them played you just select (highlight but not open) the folder and then do a send to dirlist. (you should paste a shortcut to dirlist into the sendto folder) This makes a .txt file of the contents of the folder. You just need to backspace out the title line and then change the file extension to .m3u and you're good to go! You can of course always just cut and paste the names of tracks around in a playlist file to put them in the order you wish them to play.

Re: converting from 4 track to cd
I use a Sound Blaster Live. Sound Blaster Gold is a better one. Just depends on how much the quality matters to you. Not sure what you mean by "four track". Do you mean Talking Book four track mono? In this case, nearly anything that is good at all and with aline input will do. If you're talking about stereo reel to reel tapes, then you'd probably want a fairly good and quiet card. There are even USB sound cards that are very good these days. As for software, my favorite for doing the transfer is Goldwave. Very accessible and easy to use after getting used to it. You can make very precise edits with it and you can have a free demo version that lets you do up to 100 operations per boot session. You can buy it for $45 U.S. at least that's what I paid for it and don't think the price has changed. If you don't need the editing function then CDEX is your choice. It is completely free. Will record sound to several formats including .wav and mp3. For burning the CD I prefer Nero but EZ CD DA extractor is also very good and it can do conversions as well as burn. So you have several choices and others on this list probably have others as well. B B Roger Lauren wrote: Hi, Thanks for the info. What kind of a sound card do I need to get for the 4 track player?

Well, so many on this list are happy with the Real Tek sound card in the ASUS PC's. It's interface is totally inaccessible for me. How are you using it? Am using Windows XP and Window-Eyes. Common tasks are fine but if I plug anything into the PC like head phones or a mic I get an in accessible interface. Sighty's see it and there's a list box of buttons asking what you plugged in and an ok button. Screen reader doesn't see it and tab and arrow keys are useless. Hope someone can help.

mp3 plug in
Someone said something about a plug in for GoldWave that will allow it to edit mp3 files without converting them to any other format and thus avoiding any loss of quality when editing. Can someone please give me the link to get this plug in? Thanks.

Re: Problem playing .cda format
The .cda file format is the correct type for making audio CDs for playing back on any regular CD player. It just means CD Audio format. A .WAV file won't play in an audio CD player. So just let Nero burn the CD with the cda file format and you should have a playable audio CD. B B Roger Jim wrote: I want to convert .mp3 back to audio to listen on my car audio player.

Re: 3gp
In my world, .3gp files are audio files. They are used by the NLS for their new Digital Book standard. As I said earlier, the Victor Stream reader makes them when you record a voice note. They are much smaller than .mp3's and are of very good sounding quality for their size. There are NO video components in them!

Re: Fwd: The ACB Radio Tuner version 6.9 now released
I've found one shortfall in the ACB Radio Tuner that I hope this new version will resolve. Most new laptops have a small Drive C partition which is for the operating system and a larger partition (Drive D on my machine) for installing programs as well as storing files and data. I have Winamp installed in drive D on my laptop and when I try to install the ACB Radio Tuner it won't recognize that Winamp is installed and won't work properly. Hope this is now fixed or will be in a future update. Roger Steve Pattison wrote: From: Geoff Shang ge...@acbradio.org To: annou...@acbradio.org Hi, ACB Radio is proud to announce the release of the latest version of the ACB Radio Tuner. Please note: The website has not yet been updated, but the download link will give you the latest version. This new version won't look any different, however it will now allow us to change the station lists in the tuner without having to release a new version of the tuner. The tuner connects to our server and retrieves a list of the stations when it starts, meaning that we can add, change or remove streams at any time without you needing to upgrade. People should upgrade if they wish to keep being able to tune into the Cafe or ACB Radio Interactive, as we are required to change our listen links due to copyright compliance and the current tuner will not be able to access these stations for much longer. You can click the following link to download the latest version of the tuner: http://www.acbradio.org/tuner/tunersetup.exe The website will be updated as soon as I get a chance but I wanted you to be able to get it now.

Super 2008
Well, I've tried Super 2008 for just a bit. Does seem to be mostly accessible. There are no pull down menu bars but at startup it says right click for menus. I hit the app key and I get a menu with lots of options. Also there lots of buttons and edit boxes and I seem to be able to tab to all of them. Only real problem is there appears to be no help files at all!! F1 and/or Ctrl H do nothing at all. Those buttons have lots of technical stuff on them about encoder options and they are a bit beyond my knowledge. Too bad there isn't a good help file for it. It might be hidden in there somewhere but I haven't found it. That's all I can say about it so far.

Re: I Was Wrong
I recently bought an Eee PC from Asus. A great little goodie but the sound card has that stupid RealTek driver in it and I can't get it to do anything!! Neither the tab or alt keys do anything at all. When you try to plug in headphones, line in or anything to the sound card that dumb thing comes up and asks what did you just plug in? That's how dumb it is besides being totally inaccessible. Unless anyone has had better luck using it than I have in which case I'd sure appreciate any advise. I can use the standard Windows volume control and change the volume settings as usual but that's all. I'll probably need to get an external USB sound card and hope it comes with no driver and uses the standard Windows control.

Re: some questions about burning CDS with Roxio Easy Media Creator 10
I don't use Roxio so can't be really specific. However I can answer one question for you. All audio files are treated the same by every burner software I've used. Example, Nero has a choice of burning an audio or data CD. The audio may be music or just speech--it doesn't matter as the finished CD is the same as far as file formats are concerned. Just as an audio tape can contain either music or spoken word and the player doesn't care which. So don't let that one confuse you--just burn all your audio CDs as though they are music if that's the only choice you have. They'll play back just fine in any ordinary CD player. Hope this helps.

Re: Streaming Audio Software
Just depends on what you mean by a little cash. $20 or so I'll go for it especially if they offer an evaluation period so I can see just how accessible it is and make sure it will do what I need. If so, then I'll give it a test spin. David Truong wrote: Hi Roger, Do you want this software to be free? If so, as someone has already suggested, oddcast along with a few DSP plugins is probably your best bet. But if you are willing to pay a little cash then my suggestion would be Station Playlist Studio. It is very speech friendly and is probably for value the best broadcasting software for your buck. http://www.stationplaylist.com/ Jonathan Mosen List Founder Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: putting songs on to a mp3
Well, I don't know just what Hal is but most mp3 players have a USB interface port and come with a USB cable. All you do is connect the player to a USB port on a computer that has the mp3's you want on the player. You just select them and do a ctrl-c then alt tab to your player (it should just appear as a removable disk drive) and do a ctrl-v to paste the songs onto the player. Just that easy! When you tire of what's on it, just delete them and repeat the process to put on new material anytime you wish.

Re: Converting MP3 to standard CD format
This is fairly easy. If you want to use CDex you just put all the mp3's you want to make to an audio CD into your MY Music folder for CDex. This might be different than the My Music that is in My Documents but you can set this target folder to whatever is convenient for you. Once all your mp3's are in the folder you just start CDex and hit the F12 key. This converts mp3 files to WAV. Once you have all the WAV files, just put them into your CD burning software and make the CD. Personially I prefer to do this with Nero as that program will take mp3 files and make the audio CD for you without you needing to convert them at all. If you need to edit the files first, such as trimming some dead air from beginning or end of each file, cleaning up some noise or clicks if the source was tape or LP then use something like Goldwave. This is a sound editor that is very accessible and will not only edit but you can then save the files in any format you like. Just save them as WAV, 16 bit signed stereo and you can then make audio CD of those. Hope this helps.

Streaming Audio Software
I need some good suggestions for accessible software so I can stream audio from my PC to a server where it will be webcast. Someone suggested the plug in for Winamp. As Winamp is very accesible I figured the plug in would be also. Boy was I wrong!! Neither the alt or tab keys did anything!! Trashed around with it for nearly an hour and gave up on it as a bad job. I sure hope someone on this list can help. As ACB radio is streamed by other blind D J's then such software obviously exists. Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks!
