Re: Sangean WFR-28 Internet Radio Again
Although I certainly enjoy reading Dane's reviews of various radios, I just have to comment that my iPhones are great as internet radios. Granted, they need external amplification and speakers unless you are willing to listen through phones, but it is so easy to connect the iPhone either via blue tooth or via the 3.5 mm. jack to other components. All of the internet radios I hear about have accessibility issues, some more than others. As I see it, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and for me the iPhone represents that straight line.

Bluetooth Radios was Sangean WFR-28 Internet Radio Again
No doubting that for 1 moment, you're talking to someone who has been using IOS devices for 3 years and has now taken up using Android devices and will - if ever they become accessible - start using Windows Mobile devices . Have you considered using Airplay with your Radio Apps on your IOS devices for even better sound. One could argue of course that using a radio such as the Sangean WR-28 with an IOS device is next to pointless given that you can purchase very good radio Apps such as oOtunes for IOS and I take that point but to me? Well, there's something about a separate portable or tabletop or Hi-Fi radio where the iPhone controls it, just like say a radio with a remote controller. Speaking of radios, has anyone seen the new Sangean Bluetooth models? They transmit their audio to bluetooth headphones, speakers and so on, wodnered how long it would be before we saw those come into the market place. On 30/07/2013 1:36 AM, Donald L.

Re: Sangean WFR-28 Internet Radio Again
And as a final footnote to my previous reply . Not everyone has an iPhone and its at this point where the Sangean WR28 comes into its own, like the Logitech U.E. Radio, Squeezebox series etc the WR28 can be controlled via a web browser. On 30/07/2013 1:36 AM, Donald L.

Putting Cassettes on the computer
Hi All, I purchased a little cassette player with a USB connection for putting some casettes on my computer. The software supplied is Audacity. It works ok except there are two problems. The first I can deal with after a little exploring. What is happening that that as soon as I connect the USB JAWS stops talking. Well, I figured out that JAWS and Audacity are both fighting for my single sound card. So, now I go to the record button and then connect the player, press record and then press play on the player. I can then moniter the player to hear what song is being recorded and when it turns off at the end I just get out of Audacity and JAWS resumes talking. It's a little awkward but it works. The second problem is that once I have the casette transferred it is simply one long file with no markings between songs, so you can't select just one song at a time. Is there a way to put CD markings between songs so you can move from one song to another? Can I do this with Audacity? I don't want to bother to learn a new specialized music program because once I have these tapes copied to the computer then I can put them on my Stream or Apex or whatever so I won't need to mess with this again. Do you have any sugestions? Thanks much. Kris To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Hi, use mp3direct cut , or totalrecorder. They both allow you to make marks or, qpoints.

Re: Apple TV
It has been so long since mine got connected, that I'm not sure, but yes, you do need to connect it either to an appropriate surround receiver or to the tvf hdmi. It does work with voice over, and I believe it is possible to turn voice over on by pressing the largest button on the remote 3 times, once the apple tv is properly connected and turned on. When I got mine, that wasn't possible, so I had to have sighted help to go into the menus and get voice over turned on.

Re: Apple TV
Gary, Have you gotten it connected with your WI FI network? If so, what kind of problems are you running into? It is good to get an Apple-ID, and I think some of its functionality depends on you having an Apple- ID. I do not know if that ID acts as a gateway into YouTube and Podcasting or not, but it might. You do not need an iPhone to get an Apple ID, though. If you use iTunes, you already have an Apple ID. Since you can get an Apple ID with an iPhone, that might be what was being thought of, but as stated, you don't need an iPhone to get an Apple ID. It is very nice to have access to iTunes with the Apple TV, so creating an iTunes account when you get an Apple ID is also a good idea. There are a lot of inexpensive movies and TV shows to rent on iTunes, but there is also some free stuff. Using the keyboard for searching can be done with the little remote, but it is much easier with a BlueTooth keyboard. This is something else to consider. The Apple TV supports something called Air Play that lets other apple devices, iPhones, iPods, etc., play music through the apple TV. This is handy but certainly not a must to enjoy the Apple TV.

Re: Apple TV
Gary, You need to plug the Apple TV through an HDMI plug to an HD TV. If your cable box has an HDMI input that can be routed to your TV, that might work, I don't know. Cable boxes I have seen have HDMI OUT to go to a TV, and that will not work. You may need to get some help there from someone who knows what equipment you have. Once you get the Apple TV connected to a tv and to a sound source, probably your TV speakers, then you need to get voiceover turned on. I believe that the first time you start the apple TV, it will speak a prompt to turn on voiceOver using the little remote control. If it has already been turned on, you may have missed the prompt, but I believe there is a shortcut to turning it on with the remote. Once you have voiceover going, you will need to explore the menus some. You will next need to get it connected to your WI-FI network because everything you watch on it comes through the internet. I believe that you will next need to enter an Apple-ID and password into the unit. You might try doing some Google searches to see if anyone has instructions for blind persons. The PDF user's guide is all right but some of the steps are shown in pictures. It is hard to know how much more to try to say without knowing your setup. If you bought it at an Apple Store, they are pretty good to answer questions as well, although this can vary.
