Re: Trouble with youtubetomp3.com
There are aspects of this than can be confusing. However, a higher bit rate will only be of higher quality if the original is of a higher quality than the copy you are making. Up-converting from a lower quality won't necessarily improve the sound. That doesn't mean that there are not cases where up- converting might not be a good idea. For example, I just learned that I Tunes will only store MP3's of a certain bit-rate in the cloud. You might have to convert a slower bit-rate to a higher one to take advantage of that. In the case of YouTube, it is always hard to know from my experience what the bit rate of the original is. You might want to use a faster bit-rate just to be sure you aren't loosing anything,. However, using a bit rate of 320KBPS does not guarantee that what you have is the same as making a 320KBPS version of audio that originated on a CD that was an original purchase. When music is passed around, it is only as good as the slowest bit rate in the chain. If someone puts a 128KBPS MP3 onto a CD, the CD version will for the mostpart faithfully reproduce the original including any negatives introduced by the encoder that produced the 128KBPS file. Now, it is possible that additional distortion is introduced by whatever decoder is playing the 128KBPS file and that the original sounds better than it does on a specific player and that can confuse the issue some, but increasing the bit-rate isn't going to magically bring back quality that was lost. Some of this is very subjective, though. If you take a 128KBPS file and convert it to a 320KBPS file and it sounds better, it could be that you have a player that plays 320KBPS files better. There are variables like this that could cause one to want all of their recordings to be at a higher bit-rate, but it would be incorrect to think that quality is actually being added when converting from a lower bit-rate.

windows media player problems
Hi folks Using jaws 13, windows 7 and windows media player 12. For some reason Windows Media player does not now want to play any streams from the internet. This happened after I tried to play a protected file on it. This is a ripped cd on my hard drive which was ripped in wma lossless in protected mode by mistake. I got the usual message that a license was downloaded now and I could play the file. However, when I closed media player and tried to play the file it froze. After a time a message appeared saying something like a server that could not be found. Since then for some strange reason I am also unable to play streamed content on windows media player from the internet. All unprotected content however works fine. Any advice?

Re: Tagging Multiple Files with Winamp
Ok hopefully I can help. When you're in the playlist window of winamp press control n to start a new playlist. Use shift l to add folders. Find the folder you want to add and press enter. No music will play but the files will be added. Do this repeatedly until you get all folders in to the list. Then if you have individual files use l instead of shift l and add all the files you want, i believe you can only do one file at a time. You can use control b and control z to go to the end and beginning of your playlist. You should be able to look at your playlist with your up and down arrow keys. Note these only work in the playlist window. If you tried adding folders or files in the main window they would open and they would not add to anything. While in the playlist window u can randomize or reverse your playlist too control r reverses and control shift r randomizes. Last but not least press control s to save your playlist. Please note that like most things in windows or computer there many different ways to accomplish the same task, so other people might use a different method. good luck and let me know if i can help with anything bb - Original Message - From: "Hotscot72" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 5:10 AM Subject: RE: Tagging Multiple Files with Winamp Hi again Brett, sorry for the delay in answering, but have been very busy.

Well this is coming in late to this thread, but once you get to know the features of MP3 Tag Studio, which is a paid program by the way, it's well worth it. If you're tagging an album's worth of files, you can go through and set it up once to ignore the 01 - in front of the track name, go to tag from file name, then tag by autotag and fill in the fields and it does it all at once. It took a little time to learn the program, but I wouldn't be without it. Matthew To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Re: windows media player problems
I also had a problem with Media Player 12 last Christmas when I tried to play a movie that apparently had some type of copy protection. I got a message from Media Player that said something to the effect that it could not apply the protection to the output device and suggested that I update my video driver. I switched from JFW to the NVDA screen reader, and the movie played. I think the mirror driver used by JAWS for Windows 13 was interfering with Media Player 12.

For some reason Windows Media player does not now want to play any streams from the internet. This happened after I tried to play a protected file on it. This is a ripped cd on my hard drive which was ripped in wma lossless in protected mode by mistake. I got the usual message that a license was downloaded now and I could play the file. However, when I closed media player and tried to play the file it froze. After a time a message appeared saying something like a server that could not be found. Since then for some strange reason I am also unable to play streamed content on windows media player from the internet. All unprotected content however works fine. Any advice?

RE: windows media player problems
Turn off JAWS. Since thwe mirror driver is on at that point, WMP thinks you are trying to pirate the DVD and it doesn't let it self play it. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Gary King Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 8:28 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: windows media player problems I also had a problem with Media Player 12 last Christmas when I tried to play a movie that apparently had some type of copy protection. I got a message from Media Player that said something to the effect that it could not apply the protection to the output device and suggested that I update my video driver. I switched from JFW to the NVDA screen reader, and the movie played. I think the mirror driver used by JAWS for Windows 13 was interfering with Media Player 12.

Re: windows media player problems
I know that NVDA doesn't use a mirror driver, and that's why I decided to try it with the movie. I thought that Media Player would be happier with that configuration. I do intend to try some other DVD players with that particular movie and JAWS 13 since I want to use the OCR feature on the menu titles. Maybe other players won't complain about the copy protection.
