Hi Sharon,
If you haven't already done so,
I would try selecting a different plug-in

The subject says it all. I have a folder with a lot of wav files. Most of
them won't play in winamp. Does anyone out there know why? I must say it's
got me stumped.

PowerDVD is one of the easiest PC dvd players around. There are many

As far as Audio DVD Extractor. There is a tutorial of sorts out there 
from Jonathan Mosen's site. But even so, writing the author with

Power DVD is actually pretty easy if you use your Applications key to access
the menus.  There are also many hot keys for the various functions if you
care to commit them to memory.  Just don't expect to hear the actual titles
on the DVD since screen readers can't get this information.  The best you
can expect is Title 1, Title 2, etc. and the speaking of chapter numbers in
the chapter submenu.

RE: question on MP3 player

2006-04-27 Thread Nektarios Mallas
Hello. I was also researching the topic of mp3 players myself. I have
used a creative jukebox in the past but I don't like it at all. The
player itself is ok but I hate using horible inaccessible creative
software to transfer files and do other things. 
I ended up buying an iriver h140 and all I have to say is that it is
great! I installed the rockbox firmware and I have talking menus, file
names etc. It is the best experience I had in my life since I discovered
a screen reader exists for my computer years ago. 
I will never buy a creative or an ipod again. Well, I shouldn't say
that. I may investigate buying an ipod in the future when rockbox is
working satisfactorily with it.

I've used the creative zen. The touchpad is actually quite accessible,

the 
zen is accessible because a click device similar to the ipod can be
enabled 
with sighted help, so you can hear when you tap any area of the touchpad
in 
any menu. however, i had 3 units and they all had hard drive errors, my

New English Voice File for Rockbox

2006-04-27 Thread Gary King
There is a new English voice file for Rockbox that seems to work well with
the iRiver H120 and the latest daily build.  It can be found by going to
Downloads on the Rockbox site and choosing the Voice Files link.  Then go to
the section of the page containing voice files for the daily builds.  There
is a file dated April 21 named English_Reed_Fast_cvs.zip.  And "fast" in the
name of the file means just what it says.  I run my speech on a computer
pretty fast, but not quite that fast.  But, if you don't mind fast speech,
and you want to use Rockbox with the latest daily build, give it a try.

There are also a couple of English voice files dated April 3, made with MS
Mary and MS Mike, but I haven't tried them.

 I'm sure enough of these got around that they wouldn't cut them off or

hd mp3 questions

hi all,
here is what i'm looking for.
first and most important, it has to be rockbox accessible. i'm tired of getting 
my parents to mess around with the menus with me. so i need rockbox 
compatibility.
second, i'd really like to have line in capability, or at least externam mic, 
or something, so my guitar teacher can record things for me and i can practice 
with headphones and not have to wait around for him to burn a cd or record a 
tape.
third, i'd like battery life over 12 hours, or if this is out there an mp3 that 
runs on regular double or tripple A batteries.

if anyone can suggest anything that meets these that is decently priced, please 
drop me a line.

thanks

What I was really after is something a little less expensive than the 
Iriver. Someone quoted me $500 Aus to purchase one of those and that's out 
of my league just now.

WMA Encoders (re-visited)

2006-04-27 Thread john G
Hi
I tried the MS MediaPlayer but to be honest found it to be very 
confusing.  All I'm looking for is an encoder, I think that's what 
they call it, to work with my CDEx program which allows for CD tracks 
to be encoded into 192 bit rate WMA tracks.  The Microsoft WMA 
encoder which is packaged with CDEx only goes up to 160 bit rate.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
John

iriver in canada

2006-04-27 Thread Brandon Hicks
hi all,
i've been recommended to use the iriver players. are there any ways to purchase 
these in western canada without using Ebay, as Ebay wants a credit card and I 
don't have one. I do have a PayPal account however, so that's an option. i'd 
prefer to get a used one as i will have to sell off the current mp3 players and 
md unit that i own to pay for it.
thanks
brandon

Problem with the Easy CD Ripper Interface

2006-04-27 Thread john G
That's great, Jonathan, I have now downloaded and installed the easy 
CD ripper.  There's only one problem, however.  First I should point 
out that I'm a Window-Eyes user.  I can't locate the button for 
ripping the tracks from the CD.  I did come across it when I first 
launched the program but for some reason I'm no longer able to find 
it again.  is there a hotkey for starting the ripping process?  What 
I have found with the interface is that once you finish tabingb 
through a list of options, instead of returning to the original tab 
control, you unintentionally find yourself in a different dialog and 
tab control.  It's a bit like the Lion, The Whitch and the 
Wardrobe.  The only difference being that I've not met Aslan yet. *smile*
So, in a nutshell, a great piece of software, it does exactly what I 
want it to do but the interface is a little confusing.
Any solutions?

Many thanks
John

I Audio

2006-04-27 Thread Brandon Hicks
hi all,
was taking a look at the I Audio x5 and x5l. i remember someone mentioning one 
of them, are either one supported by rockbox?
the reason i ask is because according to the manual, the x5 units record from 
fm, iriver's don't. Also, the x5l has over 30 hours of battery life with a 6 
hour charge time. Can anyone confirm or deny this? also, does anyone have a 
better manual in txt or pdf? the one i downloaded isn't spaced. the words run 
together a lot.
i like to look at manuals before i look into purchasing things, that's why i 
ask.
thanks for any help

Debating on whether to get XM, some info needed

2006-04-27 Thread Kevin Minor
Hi.

With the recent discussion about XM on the list, I am seriously considering
getting subscribed to it.  I do have some questions that will influence my
decision.

First, how well do the repeaters work?  I am in a basement apartment, and
I'm not sure if my unit faces the right way.  Assuming there is a repeater
in my location, Raleigh, North Carolina, how good a signal should I expect?
Could I leave the antenna inside the apartment and still receive a signal?
Speaking of repeaters, is there a site where I can learn of repeater
locations?  I have looked with a search engine, but all I find are maps of
locations, which doesn't do me a lot of good.

My second main question deals with the boom box XM receiver.  Does it have a
headphone jack?  If it doesn't, I may look at buying the home receiver
model, and take it with me to use in other locations.

Just curious.  I've heard some XM channels before, and I like the mix of
music on them.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Re: Debating on whether to get XM, some info needed

2006-04-27 Thread Chuck Adkins
Kevin, I'm not sure about the repeater question, but I can tell you the XM 
has more repeathers than Sirius. I'm not sure about the boombox though. If 
you have you antena placed in a window, I should say on a window seil, it 
should work but you'll have to try it and see. I have had more luck getting 
the XM signal than I've had getting the Sirius signal. In fact, Sirius 
recomends you put their dish outside, but XM doesn't recomend that, although 
reception might be better with XM if you do that but I haven't had too, 
although I am upstairs and don't have that problem. It might be tricky being 
in a basement no mater which provider you chose. If I could only have one 
service, reception considered, I would have XM--no questions asked.

Hope this helps. If I can be of any further help, feel free to contact me 
offlist, and I'll be more than happy to help. I have the XM XMPCR device and 
love it. Email is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Chuck

Re: Debating on whether to get XM, some info needed

2006-04-27 Thread Jim Wohlgamuth
Hi there Kevin!
I have had XM for quite some time now, and experience very little 
trouble with it.  Occasionally the signal will fade out for short 
periods of time, but I have for the most part had good luck with 
it.  I am on the second floor which probably helps-they say though 
that you should have an east or south facing window for best 
performance although my north and west windows serve me 
adequately.  I have never had any other satilite service so cannot 
honestly comment on it.  I have a sky box and find it very easy to 
use either from the buttons on the front of the unit or using the remote.
Good LUCK..!

I doubt it. There is too much AAC and Mp3 out there and so on. I doubt they 
could make us convert all streams to media player because I think shoutcast 
has far more streams online than does Real or Microsoft. If they wouldn't 
put in a screen reader into windows, I'd doubt they'd make their product the 
only media allowed, hope they learned from the big antitrust case.
