Re: External sound cards
Greetings, Matthew Bullis wrote: I quite like the IMic from Griffin Technology. For a while it wasn't available on their site, but I see that it's back for addition to their shopping cart at $30. It just plugs into the USB port, and has an input and an output jack, with a switch to go from line in to microphone settings. It doesn't do the what you hear or stereo mix feature though, but if your laptop doesn't have a line in port, it's quite handy. You wouldn't think a small piece of plastic would work so well. Matthew, from this, do I take it for an XP home system there are no drivers? Please can you send me the site address? Thanks. >From Colin Howard who lives near Southampton in Southern England.

RE: External sound cards
Hi folks A question for you folks who know much more about USB soundcards than I do. In about 2003 I think I bought an Emagic emi 2/6 soundcard to use on a laptop. This was shortly before Emagic was taken over by Apple and all windows development for Emagic products was sumarily halted. Luckily bef ore this drivers for this soundcard was optimised for Windows XP. The thing cost me about $1000 at that time! My question is whether hardware has changed much during the last 7 years and whether this may still be considered a professional soundcard or not? Just curious. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Colin r.

RE: Bookport Plus podcast
Jonathan Thanx this was exactly the kind of info I was interested in. Wonder how this works though? Is there then a kind of arrangement between plextor and APH that APH may copy the hardware design of the unit? Or is there no copyright on that kind of thing? Very interesting and let's hope Plextor takes note of the features in the bookport plus. If the hardware is the same, there is no reason while the software functions can also not be the same? -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Jonathan Mosen Sent: 05 February 2010 06:44 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Bookport Plus podcast Hi Andre, you're correct to a point. The Plextalk Pocket and Bookport Plus are identical hardware. Visually, the only difference is that the Plextalk branded hardware is available in black or white, while the Bookport Plus is available in silver. On the user interface side, there are about 80 differences. These mainly involve playback for now, since the Plextalk Pocket already beat its competition on the recording side by a long way. Navigation within a title is very different in the Bookport Plus compared with the Plextalk Pocket firmware, I think APH have done a brilliant job here. Also the firmware is more responsive. APH is using a human voice for recorded prompts, and I believe Plextalk's Audible.com support hasn't been released yet, whereas it's set for release in the first Bookport Plus firmware. APH also have some clear plans for enabling the WiFi that has been in the unit since the beginning but not enabled in software to this point. These OEM arrangements are not at all unusual. The Pocket is an outstanding recorder. If APH can make it catch up on the playback side, it'll be wonderful.

Re: Radio apps for Iphone
Is Ootunes something that we iTunes, but not iPhone users can use? If yes, how do we start it? Many interested thanks!

Okay, another app someone put me onto and its very accessible, have a look at "Wunder Radio", I like the GPS functionality, select the feature and you get all the streams near you, quality is very good. Still having wonderful fun with Ootunes and I like the "auto record" facility. Heard something listneing to a radio stream and you wish you had your recorder running to capture that moment of momentos importance? Not to worry, Ootunes would have caught it for you if auto recording was enabled. Every stream is recorded and you can tell Ootunes how many recent recordings to keep, the default is 2. So you want to keep that recorded stream? "Double-tap" on it in the recordings list - you can identify it by stream or station name - and use the buttons to manipulate it, save it, email it or whatever, if you have an Ootunes account you can upload it and put a link up to the recording on your twitter or email it to a friend. I'll keep exploring . To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Yes, there's a version of Ootunes for the Mac but not for Windows at this stage I don't think, you can check that at http://www.ootunes.com On 07/02/2010, at 5:29 AM, Victoria Vaughan wrote: > Is Ootunes something that we iTunes, but not iPhone users can use?

No apparently not. There is some lock that prevents Bookport Plus users from loading the Pocket firmware, and vice versa.

The ootunes page says the server runs on Windows, Mac or Linux, and it doesn't seem to reference just the plain old app for anytyhing but Iphone Ipod touch and Ipad. so no Mac app, just the server.
