listening to internet radio stations

[Jerry Howell]

Hello all,

I am using the stream to listen to radio stations on the internet through my 
wifi.  I also use the line in jacks on my living room stereo to listen to the 
stream , as if I am getting the stations off the air.

How can sighted folks do the same thing?  I hear that there are stand alone 
devices that can play internet radio stations by using wifi in my home.  
thanks,

Jerry Howell

On their IPhone, or other smart phone.

Apple's New Operating System With FaceTime, Sample 01

[Dane Trethowan]

Okay, the sample I’ve put a link to here is pretty basic, me leaving a Voice 
Message on my Voicemail however the way it the whole thing was done is quite 
fantastic to say the least.

I’m using the latest OS X from Apple for my Mac and the FaceTime App, up until 
now FaceTime was used to make extremely high quality audio and video calls 
where band width allowed.

This functionality still exists in the FaceTime App and new features have been 
added, for this sample I had FaceTime use my Apple iPhone 6 as the connection 
point if you like - FaceTime had my iPhone dial the number and the audio from 
both microphone and speaker came from the Plantrics Audio 478 headset connected 
to the Computer. -

Yes, this is only Voicemail I know and not top notch audio but quality is 
surprisingly good I thought.

Excellent demonstration, however, and no fault to you, I don't think 
this comes even close to the truly wonderful audio quality that's 
possible in facetime and ft audio. I use facetime audio daily to 
communicate with my Fiancee who's currently in Canada and have 
completely replaced skype for over a year now. Even when she's back home 
here, we've also used it to talk to her family and both the audio and 
video, since she's into that kind of thing, is much more reliable than 
we've managed with skype. that's pretty sweet that you can use the 
IPhone as a connection to the mac though, I didn't know that. I will say 
though that using facetime, and even regular phone calls on the 6 plus, 
on the speakerphone is super amazing.
I'd almost wonder if it would be possible to use a patch cable of some 
sort to connect an IOS device, just to grab a higher audio quality of a 
facetime call with your nifty microphone setup.

Super cool though.
Thanks and take care.
Blessings.

Hi!

I’ve used my Yamaha MX-P100 Bluetooth Speaker with FaceTime and quality is damn 
good!

Yes, I’ve had better results with FaceTime for Audio and Video calls with Skype 
however Skype is catching up fast.

As I said in the original eMail, FaceTime was used in this instance with an 
iPhone effectively making a call on a cell network so audio quality wasn’t 
expected to be superb, it would have been far better of course had I been able 
to contact someone on my cell network using HD Voice but I don’t know anyone 
now

Oh, oops, my apologies, I didn't think about the call being made over 
your 3g/4g. I'm not sure what I thought the phone was doing in the 
setup, didn't put two and two together. lol
I also wasn't aware that the quality of the facetime calls could differ, 
but then again, I've only ever used it from between two IPhones. :)

Take care.

Re: Apple's New Operating System With FaceTime, Sample 01

I’ll just explain it again to avoid any confusion.

FaceTime can now be used to dial out - make calls - and answer - receive calls 
- from your iPhone if its on the same Wi-Fi network as your Mac, the sound from 
your iPhone goes through your Mac so - instead of listening to your iPhones 
hands free speaker or the receiver speaker - you can hook up your favourite 
headset to your computer.

Tecsun PL660 Radio

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

I think there were some list members who had questions regarding the workings 
of this radio? If so then speak up now or forever hold your peace , I’ll 
no longer have the radio after next week and I tend to forget about how things 
work when I don’t have them to put “Hands-on”.
