Only thing I haven't been able to work out yet is the voice recognition function.

Re: play list maker
Hi Joe, The free and accessible file manager FileDir will do what you want and a lot more. You can download it from www.empowermentzone.com/dirsetup.exe If you try it the option to create a playlist is in the Misc menu. Regards Steve.

RE: Olympus DM4
FYI, if you look in the Daisy folder, as I recall, they have a fully accessible manual in Daisy format. My battery is currently dead at the moment so I can't check but I do recall the manual was quite helpful for many of the features of the DM4.

Re: Tecsun PL660 Radio
Hi Dane I hope that you are enjoying your new pl 660. Now when you get the time can you compare the 660 with the 880? I mena from what you have used of the 660 so far and from you used with that 8880 so far. What is or makes the 880 a bit better then the 660 if anything? Is the f.m and a.m just as good on both or is the 880 a.m A bit better? Also are f.m and shortwave the same good on both units? Also from what you said ten the 880 may have better SSB then the 660 does. So can you tell me where you can get these radios hear in the states? Are you suggesting then to stay away from the 909x and Bo for either the 660 or the 880? I would use this radio at home and portable. So from the 660 and the 880 witch one would you recommended the best for that? Thank you and I hope to hear more about these two radios soon.

I'll give more details on the radio in the future, here are some initial impressions to wet your appetite. The PL660 is somewhat smaller than the PL880 and doesn't have the nice sounding speaker of the PL880 but it does have excellent short wave reception capabilities which are - in my view - the main selling point of this radio. The Sync Detection works very well indeed, possibly the best SDS I've heard from a radio of this size, as good as the Synchronous Detection System found on the Sony 2010, 2001D or ICF-SW77. The AM broadcast band is nothing special, radio exhibits quite a bit of noise here. FM is dead hot! SSB reception is disappointing, Tecsun use a clarifier adjustment which fees rough to adjust and even worse, the clarifier control has a detent point in the middle of its travel, similar to what you'd find with a balance control for an amplifier, absolutely crazy. The PL660 is the first radio I've used with an "Air Band" though as yet I've found nothing up there, will take the radio outside as its a nice sunny day and do further experimentation. Haven't played with the memory system yet. Like the layout of the buttons and the various shapes in the buttons, round, square, rectangular, big and small, makes for instant recognition for important functions. The buttons are slightly indented into the front of the unit, almost flush one could say and that means that they're not likely to be knocked. Unlike the PL880, the PL660 runs on 4 AA size batteries which can either be rechargeable or alkaline types, the radio automatically detects the type being used. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane -- Casey
RE: Olympus DM4
You can also go to www. Olympus.com type in the model number and download the file. I have a copy of the manual on my home computer and will look for it this weekend if you haven't found it by then. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Rick Alfaro Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 12:22 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Olympus DM4 FYI, if you look in the Daisy folder, as I recall, they have a fully accessible manual in Daisy format.

Does Anyone still use Callburner?
Hi all, A while ago the Skype recorder Callburner was quite popular and I know there were some efforts made to make the program accessible. I noticed the program is still available at www.callburner.com. Does anyone know if the product is still being developed and if so is it still accessible? Thanks. Regards Steve.
Warning about burnAware 7
Hi all, Today I upgraded to BurnAware 7 and found that as so often is the case they have a new interface that looks visually appealing but it is no longer possible to navigate the menus using the keyboard. I'm using the premium edition but this probably applies to all editions. I wrote to them through their support link on their home page at www.burnaware.com and I'd suggest anyone else concerned about this issue write to them as well. You will need to complete a CAPTCHA before sending your message. For those who don't know BurnAware is a CD burning program for Windows that used to be very accessible. Regards Steve.
