Re: Iphone 6 not impressed with the speaker.

[Anders Holmberg]

Hi!
Actually there were a lot of noice in that store when i listened and also 
voiceover sounds distorted in my 5 S.
Well of course no one listens to music in the phone speaker itself.
Maybe teens that wants to show all the world how cool she or he is.
But actually yesterday i got a pair of bose headphones.
I think they are called ae something.
The phones is very comfortable though.

 The speaker on the iPhone 6 is more directional it seems than it was 
 on the 5 - never had a 5S so can't speak on that subject -.
 
 I'm also sure that something has been done to the voices on the 
 iPhone \.

Do you happen to know what a subscription will cost?
Sky fm really has a lot of good music around.
From hardrock to classical.

Re: Facetime On Your IOS Device

[Anders Holmberg]

Hi!
Sadly when i use bluetooth on my phone with skype things sounds not that good.
It sounds like telephone with a lot of crackles.
But  maybe this is due to the fact that i use the logitech h800 which is not a 
4.0 device.

Re: Sky.fm, Going Gang Busters With A New Name

[Brent Harding]

I think it was $6.95 for the premium. I think they go up to 320 kbps on mp3 
with that, so they've increased their quality lately as well.

The very good quality audio is still available but but now the variety of

Sky.Fm has had a name change too to better rflect the service, Sky.Fm is

Re: Facetime On Your IOS Device

[Dane Trethowan]

That's because the Bluetooth device you're using doesn't have the band width 
required, the device you're using is more likely than not a bluetooth 2.0 
device and you'll need at least Bluetooth 3, I've talked about this problem 
many times before.

Re: Sky.fm, Going Gang Busters With A New Name

[Dane Trethowan]

The subscription rate just went up recently, think its about $10 per month now 
for the Premium which I'm subscribed too but the audio quality is beyond 
question and best of all you can taylor the audio quality and format to suit 
your needs - you don't really need 320K streams when you're connected to a 
Mobile network with a data limit to consider for instance - .

Re: re victor stream

[Don Ball]

you have to turn airplane mode off. Then you have to setup your wifi from 
your home. Future note RTFM.
Turn off airplane mode. go to wifi settings and find a wifi signal. if it 
requairs a password enter that when you are connected to wifi use your 
internet key above the 2 to search for radio stations and so forth. One 
press of the i key will bring up your regular stram. the other will connect 
you to the i features of the device.

As I said read the fancy manual.

Time To Purchase FLAC?

Free CD Ripping Program

[Dan Kerstetter]

I'm looking for a program for CD ripping.  I have the latest versions of
Express rip and CdEx and am not happy with the way either one works.

 

I would appreciate any suggestions.

 

Thanks.

 

Dan

 

Re: Free CD Ripping Program

[Dane Trethowan]

Stupid question I'm sure but have you tried iTunes?

If you're looking for the best CD Ripper on the Planet then you can 
always try Exact Audio Copy, haven't used it in a while though as I 
usually use my Mac for that sort of thing these days or I use Easy CD 
Audio Converter I think its called these days, I bought a lifetime 
licence for the product but I think there's a free version of that 
available? Someone might correct me on that please.

Re: Free CD Ripping Program

[Rich De Steno]

Here is an excerpt from a recent Email I received:

I have mentioned AnyBurnt
http://www.anyburn.com/
a couple of times in the past.  It is a flexible and portable burning 
application.  Although it does not have much in the way of keyboard 
shortcuts, the interface is still very accessible and it can perform 
most common disc burning tasks.  One of it's more useful and less common 
features in other free burning applications is it's ability to copy 
discs.  The older versions could not copy audio discs, but this seems to 
have been resolved in newer versions.  I only mention this because 
copying audio discs has come up before.  There are very few free burning 
applications which can copy discs at all and most of those can only copy 
data discs.

No reason why you can't have HD music in different formats.
