Re: Seeking information on USB turntables
I would like to know if there's such an animal as a cassette recorder or player with a built-in turntable. I would like to take some of my cassettes and maybe a vinal or two and put them on the harddrive, so I can burn them to CD's!

Re: Seeking information on USB turntables
Well, there were such things as Music Centres - as we called them here in Brittain - which combined turntables with cassette decs. Still we're talking 'old' here, and I guess you want a USB hardware device that does the two. I've not seen an USB combi anywhere for transfering old anoalogue stuff. I know here a brand called ION has seemingly cornered the market in three seperate units that do vinyl records, audio cassettes, and VHS videos. So I if you've not held on to the various old stuff that could have done this via hooking through a converter, then this is the only way to go. Ray.

Working with the Sandisk Sansa-270
I recently bought a 4GB Sandisk player, the Sansa 270, for $30.00 delivered. Great price, but no manual; and no outboard charger, though the data cable works for that too. Bought it in part for my S.O. to enjoy the video screen and don't expect it to be fully accessible, but all the messages on said screen are in French. Quel domage! Any thoughts on tweaking the main menu back to English, which would make it a more inviting device? I must say the internal software seems quite good. Plug the darn thing in, and it starts finding your WMA files. Thanks for any and all suggestions. -- I had a quote for y'all, but the clipboard fizzled again. All the best, Max.

RE: Seeking information on USB turntables
Must say Dave, simply from my impressions of the ION USB turntable I saw, the build quality didn't seem impressive so I'm inclined to think these turntables are very basic performers technically. I'd much sooner go for a Hi Fi turntable with magnetic cartridge and a good pre-amp. These cost! Either that or consider using a company doing vinyl transfer as a paid-for service. After all is said though, depends entirely on how critical you are about sound quality. I've yet to start transfering my treasured vinyls but I know it is going to be time-consuming. Hope these thoughts are of some help. Ray.

Re: A DVD cost comparison question
No, not all dvd players support duel layer discs. I did, however, find out some useful info: Dvd +r's are better than dvd -r. I'll try and dig up the article somewhere. I'd guess single layer would deteriate less since they'd have less of a chance of messing up when burning. Also, double layer cost nearly twice as much as single - so if storage is the answer, it sure would save space - and cost about the same as 2 of the same single layer discs. contact details: email: tcwoo...@shaw.ca and others msn: the_conman...@hotmail.com skype: the_conman283 system details: Hp pavillion dv5220CA notebook pc AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 2.0 GHZ, 1024 mb DDR ram, Fujitsu 100 gb 4500 RPM Hard Drive, connecsant AC-link audio - Original Message - From: "Sylvia" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 6:40 PM Subject: Re: A DVD cost comparison question I also have a question relating to burning with dvd's.

I sure hope someone on this list can help me diagnose this. I haven't had a problem until today, and I've no idea what got changed. Here's the background: I'm converting some four-track cassettes to MP3 audio for replay in my Victor Stream. I'm using a stereo cassette machine to do this, which means one of my channels plays normally, the other is reversed. The problem is, I'm not getting any separation in the channels any more. I hear both voices on both channels. I've checked the source, and the stereo machine is indeed playing the cassettes correctly. In other words, one voice is reversed in one channel, the other channel contains the normal track, and they are very much separated. Now when I set up the recording attributes in Sound Forge 9, it says that the sample rate is 44100 Hz. And the channels are stereo. There's nothing here that says mono. Any thoughts at all as to what I'm doing wrong all the sudden? I've played music through the sound card, and it comes out in stereo just fine. The problem appears to linked to either sound Forge or to the settings in my record volume control. This is a Vista machine, by the way. Please, any help at all would be most welcome. I'm obviously done converting these tapes until I can get the channels separated again. And yes, I've restarted the machine several times.

Re: Sound Forge 9: I'm Hearing Both Channels
Go through the process of selecting stereo again and make sure you have tabbed to ok. See if that fixes your problem. In a previous edition of SF I found that I've made changes and thought I had changed back, but that second change didn't take.

Re: Seeking information on USB turntables
Well maybe I'LL have to settle for getting a cassette deck that plugs into my computer and putting the cassette copy I have on the harddrive, and then transfer to CD, but a problem with this is that then, it's a second generation copy, and I hear those aren't as good as a first one! - Original Message - From: "Ray" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 4:11 PM Subject: RE: Seeking information on USB turntables Must say Dave, simply from my impressions of the ION USB turntable I saw, the build quality didn't seem impressive so I'm inclined to think these turntables are very basic performers technically. I'd much sooner go for a Hi Fi turntable with magnetic cartridge and a good pre-amp. These cost! Either that or consider using a company doing vinyl transfer as a paid-for service. After all is said though, depends entirely on how critical you are about sound quality. I've yet to start transfering my treasured vinyls but I know it is going to be time-consuming. Hope these thoughts are of some help. Ray.

Still we're talking 'old' here, and I guess you want a USB hardware device that does the two. I've not seen an USB combi anywhere for transfering old anoalogue stuff. I know here a brand called ION has seemingly cornered the market in three seperate units that do vinyl records, audio cassettes, and VHS videos. So I if you've not held on to the various old stuff that could have done this via hooking through a converter, then this is the only way to go. Ray.

Re: A DVD cost comparison question
But what about DVDRW and DVD ram! I hear that DVD ram can be used many more times over than DVDRW's! - Original Message - From: "Constantine" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 7:58 PM Subject: Re: A DVD cost comparison question No, not all dvd players support duel layer discs. I did, however, find out some useful info: Dvd +r's are better than dvd -r. I'll try and dig up the article somewhere. I'd guess single layer would deteriate less since they'd have less of a chance of messing up when burning. Also, double layer cost nearly twice as much as single - so if storage is the answer, it sure would save space - and cost about the same as 2 of the same single layer discs. contact details: email: tcwoo...@shaw.ca and others msn: the_conman...@hotmail.com skype: the_conman283 system details: Hp pavillion dv5220CA notebook pc AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 2.0 GHZ, 1024 mb DDR ram, Fujitsu 100 gb 4500 RPM Hard Drive, connecsant AC-link audio - Original Message - From: "Sylvia" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 6:40 PM Subject: Re: A DVD cost comparison question I also have a question relating to burning with dvd's.
