Winamp 5.54 and the SqrSoft Advanced Crossfade plugin
Using Winamp 5.54, when I try to configure the SqrSoft Advanced Crossfade plugin in the Winamp preferences output plugin section, it crashes and I get the send to MicroSoft message. I re-installed Winamp 5.53 and I don't get the crash. Has anyone else experienced this with Winamp 5.54? I am using JAWS as my screen reader if that makes a difference.

Re: CD Ripping
Hi, CDex will allow you to rip a CD as one big file. I do this all the time with no problems. What you need to do is make sure all tracks are selected, control_A usually does the job if it isn't automatically done for you, and then in the convert menu, select the 'Convert a Section' of the CD. The title of the dialog is misleading because if you have all tracks selected, then the 'selection' you convert is actually the entire CD in to one large track. the shortcut key for this is F10, I believe. !~Ann Bruce Toews wrote: > I am looking for a program that will accurately rip a CD, putting all > tracks into one file the length of the disk, an option not available > with CDex.

Re: Looking For a Tagging Program
On Sun, 20 Jul 2008 07:49:49 -0700, you wrote: >Hello List! Hello James. >Is there such a thing as a tagging program that one could put on a folder and >have it tag all of the tracks, putting the correct track and author names in >the title or one that could put the track in the correct format for playlist >finding, author - title format? Yes there is, but it comes at a cost. Not money, time and knowledge. Let's start at the beginning. Winamp has a tagging facility (Alt+3, five back-tabs, look for "Auto-tag button") which sends the first 30 seconds or so of the currently selected/playable track to a database where hundreds of thousands of such 30-second clips are stored. (Also accessible from the playlist window with right-click Send-To menu.) Your clip is compared against others', and if a matach is made, the associated tag information, as much as there is of it, is passed back and your file is tagged. Sounds great, doesn't it? It is--sort of. Firstly, it's a user-maintained database, which means any Tom, Dick or Harry can come along and submit song clips and identification information. Misspellings and artist and album mis-citings abound, and for whatever reason, the thing has a nasty habit of choosing tag information from compilations over the original album containing the song you're trying to tag. There are better programs, such as MP3 Tag Version 2.4 by Florian Heidenreich. This tagger does not work by scanning sound files, but rather by comparing tag information you provide with tag information stored in such databases as Amazon which, on the face of it, would seem much more reliable, and actually usually is, but it's not a perfect world in which we live, so watch what you get from them. The problem with MP3 Tag is that you have to provide something for the search to start with--namely, some piece of tag data (also called metadata) such as an artist, an album name, etc., , whereas in the Winamp tagger, the only thing you need is the file itself which gets listened to for a few seconds, then compared against a database as described above. The problem with MP3 Tag is more a problem with the Amazon database than the tagging program itself. Sometimes there are many, more than a dozen hits on a particular artist, and you have to go scrolling through a long list to find the one that's right for the collection of songs you have. This can be particularly time-consuming if multiple labels put out an album of the same name by the same artist, which is more common than you could possibly know unless you've been doing this tagging thing for a while. After you've located a match and pressed ENTER To select it for editing and applying to your folder of files (presumably sorted into folders by album within artist), you are presented with some metadata that occurs only once for the album--artist, album title, record label (called publisher), year of publication, and a few other things. Just after the publisher field you will find two lists. The first one is the list of tracks, in order, according to Amazon's database. The second is the list of tracks, in order, in your directory. There is a known bug in MP3 Tag which sometimes causes the track list from Amazon not to display. As you tab through the editing dialog and find the first list, if you do not instantly hear a track number and name, you must immediately press the ESCAPE key and try the search again. If you accidentally press the up or down arrow key to browse the list, MP3 Tag will abort with a very nasty sequence of errors and error messages from which it cannot recover without a system restart. In other words, you can't just close the program and restart it without a reboot. WARNING! The discussion that follows and the procedures outlined therein is to be heeded and adhered to strictly and without deviation, otherwise you'll mess up your file tagging very badly! On the screen, the two lists are presented side by side. On the bottom of the list are buttons labeled "Move Up" and "Move Down" (shortcut keys Alt-P and Alt-V respectively). Select a track in the second list window in the usual Windows manner and press either of these hotkey button keys to cause the selected track to physically change position in the list. There are two reasons you need to have this capability. The first is if the tracks are out of order in the filename view in your directory. If you don't number the tracks, and even sometimes if you do, Windows can, and often does, rearange file order so things show up in odd places. The second reason why the files may be out of order is if there are gaps where tracks belong which you might not have. Fir example, it is quite common for me to download and catalog complete albums, but every once in a while I hit one of those "Greatest Hits" collection things that might have duplicates of what I already have on other albums, so I don't bother downloading those particular tracks. Well, you can see that that
Re: decent sound card.
Houdy curtis, You'll get loads of suggestions and opinions on this but the best cards I've had have all been Creative labs cards. I'me getting rid of this real-tech audio card I've got in this machine I have and going for another creative labs card. I've only seen the external variety once but both types are exactly what the doctor ordered in giving ya the best bang for your buck. My favorite of the bunch was the sound blaster audigy. Tony - Original Message - From: "Curtis Delzer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "the PC audio discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 4:13 PM Subject: decent sound card. Hi all! Well, apparently, my old SoundBlaster Live! has bit the big one. Drivers, loaded, effects, loaded, no sound, though. :) This is a modern computer, so nothing connects to the disk drives like for audio from cd roms as in the old days, but, nothing! It worked before, but now, nothing. What do you all recommend about a decent sound card? I record a lot from differing sources, so need something of decent quality. This "real_tech97," is a piece of sh**t, really, sounds like a transistor radio through my audio_file Sony headphones, all highs and no bass hardly at all, and do not want to record over a motherboard installed chip set, under any conditions. So please, flood me with suggestions, and why, etc. I really do need to know! I would prefer a PCI mounted one, though an external USB is not out of the question, as much as why someone would recommend one more than they would a PCI mounted one. Why would an external USB mounted one be preferred, portability, or true audio-file quality? Do sound cards come with R I A A equalization for turntables and cartridges? It might be important, since if I bought, sometime down the line a V15 type 5 and a GOOD turntable, I'd want something that would justify such a good pickup, to be transferred into digital form properly. I don't need "roll off" in the card on the bottom end or top end, just flat response between, probably 10Hz to way above 2Hz. Those who think that twenty thousand Hz is the top end for music don't know about overtones and double speed recording of sound since I want to be doing, so that when restored to proper octave, no loss at the top end, know what I mean? Thanks, and come on guys, let your hair down as to why you think you have the best sound card. I truly need to know, and wouldn't you know it? Today or soonest since I have projects and my good old SB_Live! is no longer living. True it had a noise floor of probably no more than minus 65DB, but hey, most of the time, it worked fine and there was no limit on the bass response. I probably want to be able to record at 192000Hz, so keep that in mind if they exist yet. At least I want to be able to record at 88200Hz sampling.

Re: Winamp 5.54 and the SqrSoft Advanced Crossfade plugin
Hi David, To get it to sound like a radio station, I set the SqrSoft Advanced Crossfade plugin Crossfade tab as follows: Fade-in 0% Fade-out 0% Crossfade when level falls to -10 dB Max buffer length 8000 ms Min buffer length 100 ms I also use the Audio Stocker DSP plugin to compress the sound. It doesn't always work as you would want, but it is generally pretty good.
