Re: nero burning rom
Hi Roger, No it's not a full antivirus solution just a solution checking the files you're in the game of burning. If you update the database you might be theoretically better protected, but it's nothing you have to think alot of. Just a free antivirus tool Nero offers.

Re: FM transmitter recommendation needed
Hello, I am kind of jumping in here but I thought I could help with this one. I use my C Crane FM transmitter to free myself from the computer. I listen to allot of books and how it works for me is; I open the book file and then let Window Eyes read to end. While the Transmitter is on I am free to roam about the house. I am not forced to sit in front of the computer nor do I have to subject the neighbors to what ever it is that I happen to choose. I used to have to put the computer speakers in the window to be able to listen while in the kitchen. That is nice when the weather permits and so long as that what ever I am reading is suitable for all ages to hear. smile. With the transmitter sending my chosen material to the stereo or bedroom radio. I am free to do and listen to what ever I want to. It is a great thing.

Re: FM transmitter recommendation needed
So, in other words, judging by what you and Steve have described, the basic idea is a setup that broadcasts whatever comes out of the sound card, whether it's digital music files, or a screen reader program rreading a text file, or maybe a digital human-narrated book, or streaming audio from a Web "radio" program. Is this where it starts, at the sound card output where your speakers are plugged in? course, - Original Message - From: "shannon work" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: FM transmitter recommendation needed
Yes, that is exactly how it works. The transmitter plugs in to any line out jack for head phones. What ever sound the sound card is producing will come out through the transmitter. You could in theory plug it into a walkman and do the same thing. I have a Y splitter plugged into my line out of the computer. Then the speakers are plugged into one side and the transmitter into the other side. This way sound comes out in both places i.e.. the room ware the computer is and, in the living room through the stereo. Does that help?

All I want is an idea of where to find the transmitters, what variety of products exists, how they are reviewed, and how much they cost, and how you basically set them up.

no USB connection with my Archos
Hi folks Well, I went ahead and bought an archos Jukebox Studio Recorder 20 Gig mp3 player/recorder, and it looks very nice. My only problem is, that windows xp absolutely refuses to recognize it when I plug it in. Here's what I'm doing and I'll reproduce the steps I take so someone who understands what is going on can help. 1. I plug one end of the supplied USB cable into the connector on the archos. 2. I take the other end of the cable and I plug it into a USB port on the back of my computer that I know for a fact works. I have another USB powered device that works when I plug it into that port so the port works. 3. When I do this, absolutely, positively nothing happens. it's as if there's no connection being made, in fact that *is* what's happening. Windows, for whatever reason, isn't finding the device. I've installed the drivers from the CD, I've fully charged the unit and it works when I power it on. So, why on earth will XP not recognize it? and is there a way I can force windows to find and recognize it? Archos says that they have a special USB cable that only works with their products, so I'm thinking that there may be a problem with it, but again I'm not sure. Note that I've also made absolutely sure that the connections on each end are tight and secure. But nothing is happening. I'd just like to get this thing working so I can install the Rockbox software on it and start using the unit itself. So, if anyone at all familiar with Archos products has any idea why it's happening and can tell me what to do I would be very greatful.

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats
the options you mentioned with Windows media ripping are also available in ripping MP3s with CDEX. remember it is in Microsoft's interest to make windows Media appear to be a much more attractive experience than the infinitely portable and compatible MP3 format. With MP3 encoding, files can be encoded on various levels of quality, with fixed or variable bit rates in full stereo. One thing to consider is the likelihood that the files you rip can be played on other people's computers with different kinds and versions of software and on portable devices in the present and future. many CD players can play MP3 files but only a fraction of these can also play Windows Media files. to verify this, just go to bestbuy.com and review the portable CD players available for sale. Most play MP3 files but only one can also play windows Media files as well. I encode most of the music I rip in MP3 at 256 bit in full stereo at the very highest quality. Kelly - Original Message - From: "Yardbird" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC-Audio" Sent: Saturday, May 07, 2005 12:39 AM Subject: Understanding and comparing compression formats I've just been learning how to rip music from CDs to my hard drive using several different programs, and the one that interests me most at present is Windows Media Player because of the variety of formats it offers. As I explore and test these formats, one thing confuses me: You can rip Windows Media Audio files about six different ways, not counting the lossless option. Now, I'm aware that .mp3 ripping can be adjusted to use bit rates higher than the default 128 in order to restore a little of the information that a lower bit rate strips out. but understanding that is simple compared to the range of .wma options. Here's the main thing that puzzles me. In the WMP menu for setting your rip options, there are *two* sets of .wma options, each with its own range of sound quality level. First is the .wma choice that uses a slider to provide you with,as I recall, three levels of sound quality. I've ripped the same track with all three, and not only listened to them-- the differences are audible to me, although pretty subtle compared to the difference between any of them and a less compressed lossless or uncompress .wav version. Still, for saving space, I appreciate the compression, so I remain interested. Okay. So the smallest .wma sound quality level creates a really small file, much smaller than the same tune ripped to .mp3. And it doesn't sound any worse than the .mp3, was my impression. The next higher levels create larger files, with the highest quality level creating a file for any given track that's about the same size as a 192 bit rate .mp3. If I go this way, I'd suppose that's the method I'd use, so you get a little better sound quality than an .mp3 for the same file size. But then, right beneath this on that menu, there's a variable bit rate .wma option, again set by a slider, but this time starting at 0 per cent and going up. Zero per cent of what? And, more to the point, if this has to do with changing bit rates (doesn't the other method, I wonder? How else would you change quality except by varying the bit rate?) where are the indications for *what* bit rate this slider takes you through? So that's it. I'm really wondering about this stuff as I try to settle on a preferred rip method to set for my usual use. Does anyone understand whatever it is I'm not getting about these two adjustable .ma formats? Is there anywhere to read a simple primer about them? I don't feel the need to do research if someone can just explain what it is I'm not understanding. But just in case there's some online information about this that would clarify it all, that would be fine, too. Thanks, Daniel -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats
Hi Kelly, thanks for responding. I have a copy of CdEx, though I forget the version. But it doesn't offer any .wma possibilities at all, only .mp3 and .wav. Does this mean I have an old version of it? Someone else loaded it onto my system for me. If I can update and see a more comprehensive array of compression options, that'd be reassuring. Also, I confess I don't understand about wither a compressed file can play on a CD player: From what I've learned so far, I have the impression that if you burn an .mp3 or other compressed music file to a CD, it will be converted, either manually or, in some programs, automatically, to a .wav file to be burned. Isn't this so? If it is, then what does it matter whether the file on your hard drive is .mp3 or .wma? Please explain further.

I'd just like to get this thing working so I can install the Rockbox software on it and start using the unit itself.

finding direct path to Windows audio stream
If I have selected a station which uses Windows Media Player, is there a way to know the direct path to a Windows audio stream, that I could just type in? thank you ___ PC-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: finding direct path to Windows audio stream
Hi, Steve, there are several ways to do this, one of them would be, if the stream has a link on a web page, you could try using the context menu, and arrowing down to save target as, and press enter, and you should be able to save the .asx file that way, but if the extension is a .asf file, it probably won't work after it is downloaded unless the file extension is changed to .asx. Another way to do this is, while the stream is up, and if the stream is not embeded, from the file menu, you can arrow down to properties, and press enter, and tab to the url location edit box, copy the url to the clip board, open up note pad, paste the url in, and save the file with a .asx extension. Now, if the streams generate money for the station that is streaming, this second approach may stop generating revinue, at least, according to one person streaming, it does, and they weren't very happy with this, so, I would just try using the context menu to save target as, but you could also try adding the url to your favorites in internet explorer with control d, then locate the favorite, arrow up to properties, after pressing the context menu key, and copying the url to the clip board, and pasting it in the open url dialog of windows media player with control u. Sorry for rambling on, but, these suggestions usually work for me.

Re: DS2 by olympus??
The DS-2 is quite good when one wants to record stuff at a relatively high quality. It can record at 128 KBPS in Windows Media Audio format. I don't think, that the long play recording mode would sound particularly fine, but uploading shouldn't be a problem, because the DS-2 can be used as a USB mass storage device. I haven't tried the supplied software, because I only record in WMA with the machine, but even if one doesn't want to use it, there's a free player for the DSS format, the one used for low quality recordings on the Olympus site. I don't have an exact address, but it should be findable via Google. <*** Michael Lang ***> You wrote: > Hi, I just came back from Radio Shack and found that they have a Olympus DS2 > that will record up to 22 hours.
