Re: Sound Card Recommendations
High Bob, I have already done that, but the problem is still with me. This is especially the case when I play MP3 files after I've converted them from WMA lossless. The WMA lossless files sound ok, but the real ear sore is those MP3 files. I only do this to put the MP3 files on my MP3 player. But is there a way to make those sound any better then they do while I'm checking them out? Thinks in advance!

I Was Wrong
I was wrong to recommend Easy CD-DA Extractor to people. It once was a very, very accessible program, but has become increasingly less so over the versions. It is still a marvelous tool for burning audio or data CD's or data DVD's. But for ripping CD's, version 12 is all but unusable, or at least it has been in my experience. The author insists that standard controls are being used, and if our screen readers can't handle standard controls, that's our problem. I am truly sorry to anyone who, on my recommendation, may have purchased this program and given its author money he does not deserve. If you are looking for a good, accessible burning solution, Easy CD-DA Extractor meets those qualifications. But as other accessibility has decreased over the versions, who knows what may happen with the burning capabilities. I really thought the author was committed to trying to make the program accessible, but clearly he is not, and my public endorsement of the program was unfounded. The track listings and the file location controls are not standard controls, nowhere near standard controls. The author says he will not sacrifice functionality for accessibility. We are not asking for decreased functionality, was are simply asking for the accessibility. It is unfortunate that it has come to this. Again, my sincere apologies for the high praise and recommendation I gave for this program in the past.

Re: I Was Wrong
Very well stated Bruce. Not long ago, I would have and occasionaly did join you in the endorsement of this software. Now I've decided that I won't be updating further. In fact, I've already rolled back and haven't yet decided whether or not Easy CD still deserves space on my harddrive. As of this writing, I can't even get the program's author to respond to my emails and I've given up on him. That being said, does anyone know of a program that offers the kind of accessibility that Easy Cd used to offer? I'd like to move on to something that continues to advance while mnmaintaining accessibility. For whatever reason, I'm not a big Nero guy, but if there's an all around program out there that's similar to what Easy cD once was, I'd like to hear about it.

Re: Sound Card Recommendations
Perhaps changing the bit rate of the recording might help, although I have to admit that I am not an expert in the area of digital recording. The only other thing that I can thinkof is the compatibility of analogue to digital. There may be some conflict with your card and the tube amplifier. My mP3 files sound fine on my player, but have a lot to be desired when played on a high end system. It has a lot to do with compressing those files. At the end of the day one ends up having to make some sacrifices when it comes to the quality of the audio. My player has a built in equalizer that is good enough to mask the poor recording of some audio files. . . - Original Message - From: "DJ DOCTOR P" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 8:46 AM Subject: Re: Sound Card Recommendations High Bob, I have already done that, but the problem is still with me.

RE: I Was Wrong
This is actually a symptom of what I believe to be a greater problem, the overall decrease in accessability of the whole audio wrelm. I just bought this shiny new computer complete with this stupid onboard sound from Realtech that is frustrating at best. Can't control the sound other than in the most very basic way. The Windows controls give me control over the volume at least, but I can't get any more highs out of my speakers as one example. I'm sorry, if I've got built in audio why the blank should I have to pay for another box and use one of my disappearing USB ports? My audio rant for the day. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Naessens Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 8:09 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: I Was Wrong Very well stated Bruce.

Re: Internet stream and radio station being installed directly on web site
James! That sounds like it would be an interesting proposition indeed! - Original Message - From: "JardataLearningCenterEmailService" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2008 3:50 AM Subject: Internet stream and radio station being installed directly on web site Hello Guys! This may be a weird and impossible idea, but I would like to ask about it and its possibility of working: First of all, instead of installing a dj program on your home system, could one install it directly on their web site and access it by actually logging onto it with an FTP client; uploading his music folders onto the same web site or another music dedicated site; install (imbed) winamp, real player, or windows music player on the site as well; and stream directly from the site. Now, would this eliminate the worry about band width on the home system and listener site or system? Wouldn't the stream be faster, since the player would be on the web site and, when one clicks on it to listen, the stream would be right there and constant? Also, couldn't the person leave the station on all the time, as the power would be from the web site. I remember in the earlier days of my web site, I uploaded hundreds of m3u files and anyone could play them by just going to the web site (url) and clicking on their choice and it played in stereo. I think it used the listener's default player though. In my case, I would have all of the players on the web site too and the listener wouldn't have to worry about which one to use. I would still use a streaming server. I just wondered if this would be possible or makes sense or would be an advantage over my current setup. I just remembered, my FTP is pretty fast and I could probably have a local control panel that could control what's on the web site. Thanks for listening; I hope my question is not too strange and/or sound rediculous. I am just thinking and exerimenting. Thanks for listening and considering my idea.
