hi, how much does unlimited service cost? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Monica Willyard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Sunday, May 21, 2006 2:07 PM Subject: Tips For Using Urge With Jaws
> >>Hi. I got some questions about using the new Urge music service on >>another list, and I thought I'd post my observations here in case >>they will help someone over here. Urge is a really nice service, >>and they've done a great job with sound quality, especially for >>those of us with surround sound capability. I am using Jaws 7, not >>the beta, so my comments are based on that. Some window reclassing >>would probably make this process easier to handle, but I haven't >>even attempted that yet. Here's what I SEE SO FAR. > >>Urge is tightly integrated with the new version of MICROSOFT Media >>Player, version 11. NP 11 is accessible and is easier to use than >>MP 10 in some ways. You'll need to istall MP 11, and it will ask if >>you want to install the Urge software too. Assuming you've gotten >>to the point of being ready to use the software... > >>With the Urge software, you actually have 3 components. At the top >>of the screen is a navigation area for the various functions of >>Media Player. It's a little busy up there, so you can choose to >>hide it if you wish. I don't, as there are some useful features in >>that section. Anyhow, the second component is an imbedded IE >>browser window that contains the Urge web content. If you use your >>Jaws cursor and left click once in that area, you'll get the virtual >>buffer and can read the album reviews and such. Below that and to >>the left of the screen is a list view area where song titles are >>displayed. Again, using your Jaws cursor, left click once on one of >>the song titles in that list. You'll then have a traditional list >>view that you can move up and down in with your PC cursor just like >>a normal file list. Right clicking on a title will bring up a menu >>from which you can play, download, buy, and send songs to friends in >>email. So to buy a song, you right click on one of these titles and >>choose the buy option. Since I don't buy tracks individually, I >>can't say what the resulting screen for buying a song will look >>like. My guess is that you'd use your Jaws cursor and click in that >>center window so you can use the virtual cursor to fill out the form >>with your payment details. I have the unlimited access plan and >>download songs instead of buying them. Once you buy or download a >>song, it's added to your media library in Media Player, and you can >>play it as you would any other song IN THE LIBRARY. You can use the >>traditional burn area of Media Player to burn purchased tracks to CD >>if you wish. Also, when you do a search in Media Player, and you >>have an URGE ACCOUNT, THE SEARCH WILL SHOW YOU 2 DIFFERENT SETS OF >>RESULTS> One is from your local collection of songs, and the other >>shows you what's available on Urge. This is how a music service >>should work. (grin) > > Because this is beta software, I have noticed a slight sluggishness > when arrowing through a long list of titles. I think this is due to > the fact that MP 11 displays album art. I'm going to try turning > that off this afternoon and see if that helps. The sound quality > really is quite good, and it's worth taking some time to learn to use > the software. > > I hope this has been helpful to you. If you have questions, you can > email me here or off-list, or you can Skype me with rhyami as the > user name. Just please let me know you're from this list when you > add me to your Skype user list so I'll know you're not some weird > spammer who wants to send me links to porno sites.
