Re: Nero 2015

2015-06-19 Thread Gary Petraccaro
I'm getting the impression that function keys start you in whatever function 
you want.  The problem for me at this time is that when I start NBR, I get 
what looks like a splash screen and the only way I can punch through it is 
to pick the option presented by Windows when it asks me what I want to do 
such as play cd in WMP, etc.  I can pick that and then the f keys let me go 
wherever I want, but I resent it.  I'm playing with the trial copy.  I don't 
want to buy the full package with lots of software I don't want to use.  I 
will look at Andrea's suggestions and see what's easiest to use.  I remember 
when Nero was a pleasure to use, but I also remember that tech support was 
crap.

Yeah I get that. What I meant that I tried either the last version or 2
before this and well at least burning worked like Rick showed. How about
burning, they change that too?

Sure.  But it was 7.  It's 2015 now.

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?

Also, any other useable rippers using Gracenote, please advise.
Thanks.

Dane, What are the approximate dimensions of the PL-880?

Yep, had the radio for 15 months or thereabouts.

There's no doubt about it, the PL-880 is the best sounding portable 
for its size.


I found the PL-660 and the PL-880 very good on FM and SW.

The PL-880 is better on AM but the PL-660 would be good if it didn't 
have so much noise on the AM band.


All-in-all, the PL-880 is a damn good buy and should provide for most 
radio listener requirements.

Okay. Wow so I guess that may have changed too.
