Gary! The .Net framework won't do anything for you specifically but it's being required on more and more programs. With this .Net scheme developers of programs like Sound Forge can write just one version of their program and expect it to run on any operating system that supports .Net rather than writing separate versions for Windows, Mac's, Linux etc. Chirp|Chirp|Chirp: It's the Bat, Chirping Bat .Com !

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats
Hi Daniel. CDEX will allow you to use a number of encoders to rip your music and allow you to use constant or variable bit rates. The WMA format is available but not all bit rates are supported for the version of the encoder included. Saying that, the default Lame encoder is regarded as one of the best MP3 encoders around and in comparison tests I've done myself and read about, it out performs WMA with most music genres. With regards to your question on burning the compressed MP3 or WMA files to CD, well, you have the choice when burning to either create an audio CD for play in a standard CD player which will convert the compressed file into WAV and then CDDA or you can burn the files to a data CD which will burn them exactly as they are on your hard drive. That is, compressed. There are increasing numbers of players on the market now, both portable and genuine hi-fi, that will play these data CD's with your MP3 music. This means you could have 10 albums or more on a single disc. Kelly's point was exactly this that MP3 is still the most popular compressed format and most well supported. You wouldn't want to rip a collection of CD's into WMA and find that you couldn't play them on anything else but your computer. Maybe you might now but chances are you'll want to take them with you at some point and want to invest in a portable player. Having them ripped into MP3 will give you a much greater choice of player when that day comes. Regards.

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats
Thanks, Kevin. that helps somewhat. I'm afraid I haven't been succinct and/or clear enough in explaining the things that are confusing me. I'll read some more program documentation and see if I can grasp certain concepts better, especially the variables for setting options for whichever ripping format I choose to employ. I don't understand most of the options in the CdEx properties tab for this, nor in Windows Media Player's equivalent settings, and it's too overwhelming to figure out how to best ask all the questions I have. One thing about which I can ask for clarification . First of all, I certainly understand that it's important when burning CDs to use whatever types of disc are compatible with players. I know some CD players can't play some discs people burn on their computers. But I have yet to figure out whether that's actually an issue about which type of disc to use (that's what I thought it was about) or, as you guys seem to be suggesting, what format you've created the files on your PC with. Here's what I don't get: Whether you rip your audio tracks to .mp3 or .wma, don't they all get converted to .wav files by the programs you use to burn them back to CD? In which case, how would it threaten incompatibility to have used .wma instead of .mp3? Can you see why I don't understand this cautionary advice? By the way, I mostly rip audio tracks with an eye toward either sending them to friends or eventually burning them onto a homemade CD to give to friends, also. I don't really rip audio tracks in order to substitute my PC for my perfectly good stereo system. I do use a Discman type portable player sometimes, and being a few years old, it doesn't seem to play any CDs I or friends have created ourselves, even though the more recent model changer in my stereo has no problem with the same CDs. But I always expected that, having heard much about it already in reading about all this here and there. thanks, daniel - Original Message - From: "Kevin Lloyd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

CDEX will allow you to use a number of encoders to rip your music and allow you to use constant or variable bit rates. The WMA format is available but not all bit rates are supported for the version of the encoder included. Saying that, the default Lame encoder is regarded as one of the best MP3 encoders around and in comparison tests I've done myself and read about, it out performs WMA with most music genres. With regards to your question on burning the compressed MP3 or WMA files to CD, well, you have the choice when burning to either create an audio CD for play in a standard CD player which will convert the compressed file into WAV and then CDDA or you can burn the files to a data CD which will burn them exactly as they are on your hard drive. That is, compressed. There are increasing numbers of players on the market now, both portable and genuine hi-fi, that will play these data CD's with your MP3 music. This means you could have 10 albums or more on a single disc. Kelly's point was exactly this that MP3 is still the most popular compressed format and most well supported. You wouldn't want to rip a collection of CD's into WMA and find that you couldn't play them on anything else but your computer.

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats
Hi Daniel. Okay, I'll try and explain the point you're not getting at the moment. You don't have to burn a CD as an audio Cd for it to play in some players. There are some players that can handle discs that are burned in the data CD format and contain hundreds of MP3 files. So, in answer to your question, no, the files are not converted when you burn them to CD unless you choose to burn them as an audio CD. An audio CD is one which will play in any standard CD player where all music has been converted from whatever format they were in originally into CDDA format. A data CD can contain files of any format so they can be MP3, WMA or WAV files. This disc can then be played in a computer or a player that can handle discs that have been burned as data CD's. Where the confusion comes in with disc types is that older CD players cannot play rewritable discs but they can play write once discs or CDR as they are known. Don't confuse disc type with the format of the disc as described above. Regards.

Re: no USB connection with my Archos
Hi Chris. I don't have an Archos player but just thought it worth asking the following questions. Firstly, have you another computer you can try to hook up to? Secondly, have you tried rebooting the player? I have a creative jukebox and to do this there's a pin hole where you can insert a paper clip and in combination with the play button you can effectively reload the firmware. I'm wondering whether you have a problem with the USB socket on the player side and that's why your computer isn't recognising that you're making a connection. Regards.

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats
One more thing: I just opened the copy of CdEx on my computer and attempted to study the help file topics about things I need to learn. But even though the topic list is set up like a tree view, and I can navigate it fine and open books or topics to arrow to their sub topics, when I hit Enter, I'm taken to a page that 1. starts reading audotmatically in Jaws if I don't touch the keyboard, but can't be read deliberately with the arrow keys and Jaws reading keystrokes. I thought maybe I could compensate by selecting and copying each topics's text to the clipboard and pasting into a text editor to read, but my attempt to do this also failed, for some reason. Also, the text seems incomplete, from what I can figure out, like only topic headings are given but then there's no actual writing beyond that. 2. I checked my version of CdEx, and I wonder if it's not really what I ought to be using if I want to have the latest configuration and more usable or fully written help documentation. I have version 1.51 Beta. A friend put it on my system, saying it's what he uses. But is this out of date? If so, where do I go to download the latest version of CdEx? thanks. - Original Message - From: "Kevin Lloyd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats
sKevin, Thanks, that was very clear. Honestly, I wasn't actually confusing the CD/R and CD/RW issue in terms of playability with the other issue, don't worry. Sorry if I gave that impression. It's only that your explanation was my first information about these concerns, so I was trying to express what I was sort of still "processing," so to speak, and might've sounded confused about this when I was actually getting clear about it. But my main thanks is for clarifying that you meant you can't write or copy audio files just as they are on your hard drive (.wma, .mp3, etc.) and expect them to play on most CD players, so you have to be careful how you do this, e.g., what type of compression you use and what sorts of players you expect to play the CDs you make on. So let me reassure you that this isn't what I'm up to, though it's nice to know you can do something like that. I was only talking about burning regular old audio CDs. I'm operating at a pretty lay level with this stuff, just a regular sort of consumer level, if you see what I mean. And if I ever find an affordable and accessible burning program that also permits duplicating a CD, then some of this will become moot, because I won't have to rip a CD at all for this purpose, but will be able to just stick the original CD into the drive, do something, then stick in a blank CD/R into the drive and make a copy. So this is all I'm up to in that regard. thanks again. - Original Message - From: "Kevin Lloyd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Ah, so the Control A select all works, even though control homeand then select to end didn't? Interesting. In other such situations, often control A won't work, but if you go to the top or bottom of an area and select home or select end, that will copy all. ah, I know what it is I'm thinking of.

Major winamp problem
Hey guys, Got an interesting issue. I have winamp 5 which I just installed. When I go to play a bookmark, I click on it. Then I hear the windows XP click sound. It plays my bookmark, but at the same time I lose functionality with the keyboard, so I can't hit V to stop it. I have to do alt f4. Any ideas?

Re: no USB connection with my Archos
Hi Kevin. Actually, today I did a little experriment, and I've finally got windows to see the player. Turns out i just had to be a little more patient than I was being. I wasn't giving it enough time. This is an older model and I believe the firmware has to be upgraded. Now aI've hit another issue here so maybe one of you guys can help. I can see the contents of the new drive, on my system it's the G drive. There's a folder on the drive that is called setup.zip. I atempted to click on it and use it from the player itself thinking I could just install the firmware update on there, but it wouldn't let me. and when I do this, the computer gets really sluggish. I want to be able to use this player and while I've moved in the right direction I have to make sure I'm doing it correctly so as not to damage anything. I need to be able to install this firmware somehow and I'm not sure how to do that. Thanks for any help. At 02:04 PM 5/8/2005, you wrote: Hi Chris.

increasing streams in Winamp library
Hi listers, sorry if this question has been done to death, but can someone remind me about how to increase the number of streams in the Winamp media library with the latest version? Once I get to the media library section under preferences i can't seem to find the appropriate dialogue, which looks different from the 5.04 version on my old machine. Any help much appreciated. By the way, I'm wondering about upgrading to the new version, any thoughts for or against from those who may have already done it? many thanks as always.

CDs suddenly not playing
This is strange. Usually, the way I have things set up, when I insert a regular music CD in the drive, I get one of two results (I haven't sorted out when which one happens, sorry): Either I get a Windows message asking me to choose a number of options from a list or simply decline any of the options, or Windows Media Player launches and starts playing the CD. As I said, sorry, but I'm getting a bit muddled trying to remember when the Windows prompt comes up and when WMP simply launches. Today, I inserted a couple of different music CDs in my drive, and nothing at all happened. Well, not exactly nothing; I had CdEx running because I was working on tweaking its settings.So CdEx faithfully set about getting album info from the Web and getting ready to let me rip from the CD. Which was fine, whether or not I intended to do that at the moment. but the point is, Windows Media Player wouldn't do anything. I launched it manually and pressed the play key combination, but nothing. Insert T with Jaws didn't give me the album title, but then, it never does, for some reason (Yes, I've set WMP to go online and look for the info, but it just never displays the name of the album, anyway.). I have the WMP file association list set to play all, including music CDs. What could have gone wrong? Thanks for any advice, Daniel ssocation boom -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Premier CD Creator
Is anyone familiar with this program? I've been exploring a trial version of it, to see if it might suffice for my simple CD-burning needs, and maybe as a backup for ripping, after CdEx, which seems a little more flexible in its settings.Andis free, after all. But whatever. Anyway, I've run into a lot of real trouble with this Premier program, just one example being that no matter what CD I insert and try to rip tracks from, the inscrutable (to me, anyway) readouts giving CD and track information keep displaying some things I don't understand at all, plus, and this is really strange, the title of a Black Sabbath CD (I'm not a metalhead, so this disc is not in my music collection, let alone mistakenly inserted into my computer's CD drive) and all its track info. Just to see if the display was stuck in some way, I went ahead and ripped what I could-- and when I looked on my hard drive, yes, there were all the tracks from the Black Sabbath album and not anything from the CD I'd put into the drive. Now, this is all the stranger because until the last day or so, Premier had shown the correct CD info on my first couple of attempts to use it (Audio Grabber, that is), and I had successfully burned one CD from a ripped version of it. . There are other problems, too, such as Premier crashing after an error message when I try to burn with it, although this function, too, worked okay the first time I tried it, as I just said. I've written two inquiries to the company, and their executive (I think) has assured me he's sent my questions on to the engineers. But I've gotten no response to my inquiries at all, after a number of days. Anywy, can anyone with experience suggest what's going on, here? Is it possible that the demo version ran out but, instead of giving me a message that it was expired, just started misbehaving and malfunctioning? Thanks. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

CdEx settings check
I've just read several sections of the CdEx Help documentation, and I'd like to show how I set things, one option at a time. Please comment if I seem to have misunderstood something. My intention is to use settings that the manual seems to be saying will be adequate and reasonably high fidelity for ripping music tracks. I have a fairly critical ear, and while I don't want to lose the advantage of compression altogether, I don't want to make tacky-sounding files without the detail and timbre (tone "color") that will satisfy me. So here are the settings I've made. I'll mention when I didn't understand something at all. 1. convert to ripped .wav file, left checked 2. thread priority normal 3. lame mp3 encoder version 1 4. don't delete ripped .wav file after conversion, checkbox left unchecked 5. version mpEGI (version of what?) 6. min. bit rate 192 (what does it mean to say minimum here? Maybe this means if you use a variable or average rate, it's not supposed to fall beneath this?) 7. stereo J-radio checked (what does "radio" have to do with anything here?)Or maybe "J-radio?" 8. Private checkbox not checked Huh? Private as opposed to what? Is the sighted user seeing things I'm not hearing, maybe? 9. checksum checkbox not checked (is this an error correction method that by default (I left this as it was) isn't to be used? Is that okay? 10. original checkbox not checked Original what? Huh? 11. copyright checkbox not checked (again, what's that mean?) 12. quality high (the manual suggested this for better music high if) 13. on-the-fly mp3 encoding checkbox checked (okay, that's the default, but what's it mean?) 14. vbr method disabled Here follows the word "quality," then the next press of the tab key brings you to vbr quality. Then the next line is ABR (KBBS); now this is the method the manual suggested using, but there's no control or input here, it seems, just the words. VBR method (no idea what this could be; again, there's nothing to set or check) 15. rate 44,100 default 16. That's it. Can anyone tell me if these settings are legitimate for the purposes I spoke of? Good quality music ripping? Thanks. Sorry to do this, but I found no step by step explanation of this options tab, or any other, in the help manual, even when clicking on the help button in the tab. What I got was very perfunctory, not an explanation of any of this. Many thanks, Daniel -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Re: Winamp bookmarks
Peter I'm not sure I understand your question? The Winamp bookmark list is a text file that references different files, or mostly audio streams. I'm guessing that what you want to do is take a very long mp3 file that has different chapters in it, maybe it's an audio book, and you want to separate that into different files? If the anser is yes, you could create different regions for each chapter and separate those regions as separate files.

Regular cut outs
Hi Sorry for the cross posting but I'm not sure as to which group this belongs. I recently bought an HP Pavilion 819 computer with 512 memory and on board 7.1 sound. Regularly when booting up after playing the Windows XP sound and before going into the Jaws Screen Reader the machine sound cuts out and gives a terrific amount of distortion. I always have to reboot. The same can happen after playing a CD for a while or playing a track on hard disk or a Real PLayer radio stream. The sound suddenly cuts. It happens on the analog and also the digital outs. Is it hardware or is there the likelihood it could be software? I'm resigned to buying an Audigy with digital ins and outs as I think with its separate processing power the sound will then become reliable. However no point in shelling out for this if there's the likelihood of a software fault which can be corrected. Any thoughts anyone? Regards.

Re: increasing streams in Winamp library
Hi Susan, as to increasing the streams, in Media Library under Preferences, look for a button that says something about managing cache and hit it; you should get a dialog that starts with something about limiting the streams to fetch; if the edit box says 500, for instance, than hit Delete and type a higher number, say 1. Then go to the Okay button, press it with spacebar; then you're back on the first dialog page; go to the Close button, hit the spacebar, and that should do it. As for 5.09, I just tried it and found an odd behavior with it. I'm on dial-up, and previous versions of Winamp didn't try to connect to the Net when listening to a file stored offline; however with 5.09 in my case, when I wanted to listen to something that is offline on the hard disk, Winamp would connect to the Net. Even when I merely wanted to run Winamp while offline to see what plugins are there, the thing would--what else--connect! I went back to 5.08E; I don't know what kind of connection I have, but for now I'm staying away from 5.09; so, ah, pick your poison (grin).

P.S. Susan, I actually meant to say, "I don't know what kind of connection you have," not "kind of connection I have." Just a goof.

how can I do this with nero?
Hi all, I want to send a cd of music to somebody, and I had heard that disc at once would cause there to be no gaps between cuts, because I want one song to fade out, while the other song fades in, and when I was playing with a ghetto box with a cd player in it, disk at once didn't seem to work, when burning an audio cd, because the cuts still had gaps between them, so what I did, was I made an mp3 of the music I wanted, with the sqr soft cross fader, and the audio stocker plugin, and the cuts blend together like a radio station, but since the mp3 is only one track, they won't know the tracks they're listening to, and I want it to be an audio cd, so I created a text file of all the songs, and want to know, if I make a mixed cd, of audio and data, for the text file, when they put the cd in the player, will it play, and can I have the list of songs appear on the screen as the large 67 meg mp3 that will be ten times its' size is playing, so they'll know what they're listening to, or, is there a way to make an audio cd with individual tracks, and have them act like the sqr cross fader, and fade out as one starts like a radio station? This with window-eyes 5.0, and nero 6303, 192 megs of ram, and a 400 megs processor. Thanks, and I hope I'm making sense, I haven't played with nero all that much.

ipod shuffle
Hello everyone, if anyone is interested, I have found out some good information. I have a ipod shuffle, just got it actually, and I got sick and tired of the freaking itunes interface for copying mp3s to my ipod. so I went on the web and searched a new solution. this solution I found requires python to be installed, and will run on any platform that supports python. whatyou can do is just copy mp3s or other supported audio files onto the ipod shuffle, you can either put them in the main directory, the rot dir, or put files in folders on it. then you run this rebuild_db python application right off the ipod shuffle, and it rebuilds the database on the shuffle. it seems to work great. I've used it on two ipods, and 4 different computers. in a few days when I get my imac I will try it on that. If you want any more information check out this website, http://shuffle-db.sourceforge.net/ take care. ___ 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]
