Nero 2015

2015-06-18 Thread Gary Petraccaro
I'm looking at Nero Burning Rom 2015 and I can't figure out how to get to rip 
in MP3 format and select the settings.  Anyone tried it?  Thanks.
Also, any other useable rippers using Gracenote, please advise.
Thanks.

I'm still using Winamp on Windows 8.1 and it rips perfectly well with 
Gracenote.
Also in spite of the name CD Burner XP (freeware) is up to doing what 
you want.
NOt sure if Burnaware (free version) will do as you want. I am using the 
latest pro version 8.2 which does rip using Gracenote.

Go to www.blind-geek-zone.net and look in the audio section. It's one of Rick 
Harmon's older shows, but he'll show you what to do. Unless you're suggesting 
it's finally changed. I forget what the latest burning rom I tried was, but 
most of what Rick showed in that old 2006 podcast still worked. Have you used 
Burning Rom before?

FetchTV

2015-06-18 Thread Dane Trethowan

Hi!

Has anyone tried this yet?

I don't know where its available in the U.S. but I know that its 
available from Harvey Norman in Australia or through many Internet 
Service Providers, I've had mine now for over a month.


The system is incredibly versatile allowing the recording of three 
free-to-air programmes at any one time, you can also download content 
from other providers such as Netflix, ABC iView in australia and so on.


The other really nice stand-out feature for me at least - apart from 
full remote control of the system from your mobile device - is the 
ability to integrate the FetchTV on a network thus you can browse the 
shows as files that you've recorded using Windows Explorer or similar, 
how brilliant is that.


I had to look for an alternative to the trusty Windows media Center for 
recording video, Windows media Center will be no more once I upgrade to 
Windows 10, I really should have looked at FetchTV earlier given it has 
far more flexibility and possibilities than Windows Media Center has and 
FetchTV is also updated on a very regular basis.


For those who wish to continue using their computer as a video recorder 
from TV then XBMC is still a very viable option, you may have trouble 
accessing XBMC from your Windows machine but you can access it through 
the Mobile Apps.

I tried Winamp free and couldn't get any track recognition.  I have a paid 
version but was unable to figure it out with my screen reader at the time. 
What are you currently using and what version of Winamp?  I will check the 
other software you  mentioned.  Thanks.

So What's The Best Portable Digital Radio

2015-06-18 Thread Dane Trethowan
A good question and yep, I do have an answer, its only my opinion of 
course but I feel I'm in good company when "My Hi-Fi" magazine have 
voted the Roark Audio R1 the best Portable Digital Radio of the year for 
the third year running, I agree absolutely.


The radio ranges in price froun around $250 up to $500 depending on what 
model you're after, the Ruark R1 MKII is the one I chose at $250, its 
simple enough with a 3.5 inch speaker driver on the front above which is 
the 3 line display, all the controls are on the top of the radio, a 
spring-loaded digital volume knob with 12 buttons around it.


The MKII has the FM/Digital Radio bands as well as a line-in function, 
the MKIII model has Bluetooth streaming which I didn't think I needed 
given that I have enough devices here to do that but it would be a good 
option for someone to consider if they wanted everything in the one box.


The radio is about as big as a wine cask so its bigger than the Tivolia 
Model 10+ I discussed on this list a little while ago and certainly 
larger than the Tivoli Audio Pal+.


Sound is magic particularly coming from only one mono speaker, 
incredibly loud the radio can go with little distortion so if this radio 
were to be taken out into a garden it would have no trouble punching 
above its weight in enjoyable sound, often radio sound "Gets lost" in 
open spaces.


By default the Ruark R1 can only run with the provided AC power adapter 
but a leather carry case/rechargeable battery pack can be purchased to 
add the extra portability.


The R1 would also be the perfect bedside alarm clock featuring 2 
independent alarms which can be set to either your favourite radio 
station or Buzzer and to wake you at your favourite volume, on various 
weekdays or on the weekends etc so plenty of flexibility there.


Stereo headphones can be connected to the R1 and the headphone output 
didn't disappoint me whatever, a lovely sounding headphone amplifier 
which I'm looking to enjoying in full when I have time to later today.


Naturally the R1 can be connected to another stereo system or powered 
speakers through its line-out connector though - given the sound this 
radio gives out - its hard to wonder why one would bother.


I've done some brief reception tests though I need not have wasting my 
time with this as the radio passed my usual reference DAB+ reception 
test, I was able to pull in all stations with the antenna retracted 
Reception only dropped out when the antenna was folded down flush with 
the radio and this was to be expected, I've only seen 2 radio sets that 
work with the antenna folded awya, the Panasonic RF-d10 and the Sangean 
DPR-67, two smaller portable sets but both worth their weight in gold.


The R1 comes with a telescopic antenna which has to be bolted onto the 
radio before use via the use of a standard F Connector at the back of 
the radio, a tool is supplied so you may tighten, remove or replace the 
telescopic antenna with an external antenna cable if you have such an 
installation.


I've not tried this radio on its FM band yet so I hope i'm not 
disappointed though the FM band is secondary for my listening needs.


The radio comes out of the box in a draw string felt like carry pouch, 
the idea being that you can store the radio in the pouch when it is not 
in use.
