Fast wav converter to mp3?
Hello list, I usually use text aloud to make my audio books. I was just wondering if there was another program that would make the MP3 files faster? Text aloud makes the wavve files REALLY quick but the MP3 conversion takes aprox 15 seconds per file. That doesn't seam that long except for there are more than 115 files per book. Smile and it takes up the entire computer to do it. Grin. I was just wondering if there was another way to make the wav files into MP3's. I have neroo6 but not real good with it and media player. Will either of these do it quicker? Thanks for the advice.

Re: Fast wav converter to mp3?
Thanks Chris, Steven, and Kevin, for the help. Chris as far as sound quality goes this is a computer voice so there isn't alot too loose. Smile When I make Text aloud split a book, I tell it to only make five k files. That way the tracks to my book are only about five min long to listen to if I were to loose my place. When text aloud makes the WAV file it is lick-idy- split! The progress bar flies through the WAV making part. It only takes a second to zip right across the screen. When the MP3 con version starts it takes 15 to 16 seconds per track i.e. wave file. Is it just the nature of the beast? I mean is there something just faster about WAV files than MP3 files? I wish I could just use the wave files but my Panasonic cd walkman type player doesn't read WAV files. It will read cda or MP3 on cdr and cdrw but not WAV. I was just wondering if it was the text aloud MP3 converter that was just slow and if there was another converter that could and would do the converting from WAV to MP3 faster. That way I could let Text aloud make the WAV files and use another something to make the MP3 files without taking half an hour to an hour waiting, and in the making I can't do anything else. I know I sound like I am impatient and only good things come to those who wait but, I hate waiting. Grin.

How to tell what bit rate a file was made at?
Hello, I have a problem. Grin I have text aloud and have made many books into MP3 files. I some how have changed my file settings and don't remember what the bit rate and sample settings I used that work with my CD player. I have a few of the previous disks here that I know worked with my player but I can't seam to find out how or rather what settings they were recorded at. Smile Can this be done? I have media player and Nero 6.? Can one of these help me to find out? I didn't bring my players manual with me so I can't simply look it up in the documentation as to what it will accept. Grin so that is why I am trying to sneak around the manual. Smile If anyone knows how I might find out how these files were recorded I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: How to tell what bit rate a file was made at?
Donna, Thank you so much! That worked. Now I know that the files I had made would not have worked. Grin At the worst the only thing I did was inconvenience a few electrons. Smile The CD player works with a 112 bit but I could definitely hear a HUGE difference when I messed up and made them at 24. YUCK!!! Thanks again for saving me.

Re: C Crane FM transmiter
Charles, I had saved this message from a while back. It helped me to figure it out. another way is to call CCrane and they can walk you through it. You will need the tiniest screw driver to do it. I actually took mine to the closest radio shack to have them help me. They took off the bottom and did it that way. It didn't take such a small screw driver that way. Smile I hope this helps. Shannon Copy of saved message below Will Smith Fri, 24 Dec 2004 19:07:52 -0800 Hi there, It's well hidden. You need a good fine bladed knife or screwdriver, and then turn the unit over. It's hard to feel this but a rectangle near the top of the back is actually a piece of plastic that can be peeled off. Below that you will find the small holes for putting a jeweler's screwdriver, such as one uses to tighten screws in eyeglasses. You need to carefully insert the screwdriver in to the left most opening and gently turn the adjustment all the way clockwise.

How to make sure that I have all nero updates?
Hello, Can anyone tell me how I can determine if I have all the updates for Nero 6.x.x? I don't have the foggiest idea what most of the help menus are talking about. I have I think all of the updates but am not sure. There are more things in my start, programs, Nero but when I go to read the user manuals some are not their and I have to go to the site and download my language. When I pick my language it says to make sure that I have all latest versions. My problem is I am not sure what all the choices are and if they apply to me. Sorry that I am asking for so much but I just don't know enough to no better.

Re: FM Transmitters`
Hello, I had asked a while back, messages ago, smile, if there was a listing of radio stations in a given area. Well I found it! If you would like to see the radio stations in a given zip code, what plays on them and the dial position and whether they are streamed look here. www.radio-locator.com I used it to figure out what would be the ideal station setting on my C Crane transmitter. I was having so much trouble with reception being static-e. I did find the optimum station setting with this site and thought that others might find it useful. Have a great day.

Help needed with sony mini disk player
Hello list, I have one of the Sony mini disk net md players. I have the Sonic stage software installed and I well, uhm, think it is a rather large pain to work with. That is being nice about it.

Ok, I have had it!
Hello every one, I need your help. I currently have a Sony burner that came with some junk software called B's Recorder Gold 5, and some think called b's clip. This thing is giving me nothing but trouble. I have tried for two days to copy a file on to a CD and no luck. It keeps locking up my system. I have tried four different disks so I don't think that it is a flawed disk. I am able to play CDS in this drive and the add remove hardware option in control panel says that this hardware is working fine.I am running Windows 2000 professional. I have no idea how to tell what exact model of Sony burner I have. I am also using the screen reader Window Eyes 5.0. So now to my plea for help. I think I need new software. I am no professional. I would like to be able to copy CDS, make compilation disks and copy the occasional data files or photo files for others to CDS. This is what I would like to accomplish. I would also like to do this for as little money as possible. Like I said I am no professional. I think that this burner has made five CDS in its life time thus far. One reason is that this software is just not the friendliest. If you lovely people could point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful. Thanks s much in advance.

Re: Ok, I have had it!
Casey, Thank you for telling me how to find out what the drive is. It is; SONY CD RW CRX 220E1 I have tried two different disks made from Office Depot and two made by Memorex. This stupid software does worn that if there any third party recording applications on the system that it may not work properly. It only wants certain drivers in the win 32 file. I looked and there no other "aspi" files in this folder. So I am stumped. I did have sonic stage for my mini disk installed and I have already deleted the programs that came with that. Should I just dump this program and get a new one? Is this drive too old to work with the newer programs? Thanks again for the reply.

Daniel, Thanks for the reply. Do you know anything about the new version? Is there a reason not to look into it? Ware can it be looked at? Can the new one be tried? thanks again for all the help.

Hi, am going to start using Nero and had a question. With that program can you save tracts of music on your computer as MP3 or whatever to then send on to others.

Re: Nero burn compilation function unavailable
Great idea. Thanks so much for the suggestion. I have made copies of CD, one complete copy of them without picking just certain tracts and making compilation CD, so this sounds just like what I would need. Again thanks for the friendly help and suggestions. It is nice to find a list where people help and are willing to remember that there are those that haven't had as much experience as others might have had.

Hello, You may remember that I was complaining about the software that came with my burner B's Gold and the Sony something or other as a burner. Well I did a bit more digging and I believe that the burner itself is the problem. I had uninstalled the B's thing and re-installed it and still no luck. So before I spend any money on a new program that won't work because the hardware is junk, I should replace it. In just the briefest of looks at the prices I can tell that it is not worth trying to fix. I am learning to dislike SONY. What is a good burner? I guess I should go for the best for the buck. Heck I'll go as far as to ask which one that is also capable of making DVD's is the best. I don't know what I will do with that capability but why not since I have to take the computer apart anyway!

Re: My first Minidisc upload
Hi Ken, I wish I could say with certainty. I really haven't gotten to play with it much. it is a Sony net md mini disk player. I managed to get part of a book on it but it was incomplete so I was trying to get it off and try again but was having no luck. I don't know if it is because I am technologically challenged or if it was that the sonic stage 2.2 was just so unfriendly. I know that it is a menu driven unit, but I haven't gotten far enough to know if it will be easy to remember the order of operations. With lots of hope I am looking forward to giving the newer version a try. Maybe I'll actually get to play with my toy. Smile If I get it to work I will be sure to post it here.

Re: cd.x and mp3
I use this program and sometimes when you select all with control A it doesn't work. If I remember right there is a menu selection either from the application key or from the menu bar to select all which seems to work when the control A does not.

Re: Voice Processing
Tony, I don't know if this will help but it sounded promising. I copped this out of the latest Nextup email. I hope this helps. Shannon coppied message below Over the last few years we've collected a list of our favorite software programs that fit well with our products. We've gathered these all onto one page at http://www.nextup.com/partners.html Many of these have downloadable trial versions, and offer functionality that really work well with our programs or fit well with the interests of our typical users. This month we'd like to highlight two of these programs in particular: AV Voice Changer provides a variety of audio effects capable of drastically altering the sound of a voice, either live out of TextAloud or within an mp3 file. This gives you virtually an unlimited number of sounds or personalities you can create. Acoustica MP3 CD Burner is a full featured CD burner capable of taking MP3 files created by TextAloud and our other programs and burns them onto audio CDs which can be played back in any CD Player. Other programs on our partners page include functions from Translation, Telephone Answering, Creating Talking Pictures, Recording Radio Shows, and editing audio files.

Recording with sound recorder
Hello listers, I am new to this list and am looking for information on how to use the sound recorder. I have a Win 2000 pro machine.

What I am looking to do is record my screen reader to a audio file so I can then transfer it to a portable device such as a MP3 player. I have been playing with the sound recorder and am some what able to accomplish this but the quality is less than desirable i.e. allot of static sound. Can anyone help me with this task?

Re: Recording with sound recorder
Hello Doc, What I am trying to do is record my screen reading program while it is reading a document or html document. I am legally blind and can't read the print. I have downloaded a few books in text format and would like to record my screen reading voice to a audio file so I can put it on a disk and make it portable. The computer is much too heavy to carry around. Do you know how I can acomplish this? Like I said earlier I was able to get the sound recorder under accessories/entertainment to do this but it is a really bad coppy when played back in Windows media player 9 There seams to be alot of static in the play back. Is this because of the Windows Media player or the actual recording?

Re: MP3 players
Please excuse me for asking too but I have a sony minidisk and it came with sonic stage software ver. 2.0u and MD simple burner ver. 2.0 on one disk.Do you happen to know anything about thiese programs?

I am asking because the starter of this thread is in the same boat as I am. I don't think this particular sony mini disk has a hard drive of it's own.

Re: multimedia question
Mimi, Please excuse this question if this should be a no brainer. I am new to all of this recording stuff.When you said that the bit rate was 32 for talking books is that the origional bit rate for recording? If you will allow me to tell you what I do know (Which is not much) maybe you could fill me in. I know that I have a book in text format. I want to make it a MP3. I downloaded a trial version of "Text aloud". Now start the questions is this where the 32 bit part comes in? Once I have made an MP3 what settings are needed to burn this to a mini disk walkman so this book could have legs? I am sorry if this was too long of a subject.

Wich would be better?
Hello I am ready to start trying to make MP3 books out of text files. My question is would I be better off to take the time to record each chapter in its own MP3 file instead of one big one? I want to put them in a MD player and take them with me. I suspect that if I made them into separate files I would be more able to skip to the next chapter easier. I suspect that if it was one big file that I would spend allot of time fast forwarding. Are these correct assumptions?

Sonic stage 2.20
Hello I am trying to get started with transferring my MP3 files to my net md player by sony and I am having allot of trouble with the software. It is Sonic stage ver 2.20 I am using Window Eyes 4.5 sp3 as a screen reader. Has anyone used this particular software? Are there any things tips or tricks I could use to make this less of a headache? the arrow keys appear to be useless and the mouse can be made to move a little but I can't make it recognize any of the graphics for this. Any ideas are appreciated. If I use the arrow keys it will only say file, edit, view.

Re: putting mp3's on a dvd
Ah, So DVDS are bigger than CDS. Is that correct? That is why someone would want to put MP3'S on a DVD. But then aren't you limited to playing this in a DVD player?

Re: putting mp3's on a dvd
Do you have to have a DVD burner to use them? I have a CD burner but not a DVD player or Burner on my computer. I was thinking since the capacity of the DVD disk is larger that it could be useful to back up some large folders on to them and remove them from the computer thus making more space.

I got one !!was Re: Power Screw On C-crane FM Transmitter?
Thanks to all of you I did it and called the C Crane company and ordered one yesterday. I should be receiving it next Wednesday!! I'm sooo excited! I will be free to roam around with out missing a single thing. I have a radio in nearly every room of the house and I have a walkman radio, so I am totally FREE!!! I can't thank you guys enough for the info on this. If it is even half as good as you guys think it is I'll be tickled pink. The next stop is Radio Shack for the "Y" splitter and I am all hooked up! I have a tiny apartment so I may not have to mess with the power screw but, it is nice to know that it is there if I do have to boost it a bit. It is amazing how many walls there can be in one little space! Thanks and I'll write again when I get my new toy! Thanks again to all of you for all of your help.

Need Help for dummies
Hello list, I am slow in getting in the pool of digital. I would like to know if there is info out here in the world written for dummies? I am looking for digital stuff 1o1. Grin! I would like to understand the different file types their advantages and disadvantages. How they work and what to use them for and what uses them. What is the definitions of all these abbreviations I hear floating around in my Alphabet soup. If anyone has any info or places I can go to learn about this stuff I would like to expand my horizons. I have found that I know just enough to confuse myself even more than when I knew nothing! I have a really nice mini MP3 recorder /player but I haven't the foggiest idea what all that stuff means in the manual. They left out the much needed Glossary of terms. I need a pointer to the basics. All I really know is that if I click on the file it should pop up in the media player and do its thing. I have no idea how it works. How to manipulate it or what I can do or not do to files. Like Schultz said, "I know nothing!" If you can help I would be so appreciative.

regarding the Pc Audio Messages
Good morning list, I hope this is not too far off topic but, I thought you may know best how to answer my question. I am using Outlook Express as my mail client. I tried to set up message rules to organize my mail. I put in as my conditions that if the message body contains PC-Audio or the to field says pc audio discussion list to place the message in a folder called PC Audio List under my In box. Some of the messages do follow the rules and appear in this folder and some do not want to comply and rather stay in the inbox. Does anyone know how I can make them obey? Am I missing a syntax thing or something like that? I just wanted to cleanup my inbox and keep apples with the apples. Thanks for any help.

problems burning .wma files to CDR disks
Hi all, I've just joined this list in order to see if any members can assist me in solving the following problem. I'm using a computer running windows XP as its OS which is also loaded with Office XP and Supernova Access Software. I am trying to burn files which have been downloaded to the computer on to CDS to play in a normal CD player. I thought the problem was that I was writing the files to CDRW disks, so I went out and purchased some CDR disks. However before that, I had tried to burn files onto CDRW disks using a trial of Nero burning Rom version 9 and the files had reached the disks although, at that time I was not certain that I was using the wrong disks. When I went to purchase Nero 9, the local PC world only had Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 in stock, so I have purchased that instead. However, even though I have converted the files I wish to put onto CDs from .MP3 to .WMA I can't seem to get them to burn to CDR, when as I said, they used to be able to be written to CDRW but I couldn't play them on a standard CD player. If anyone can work out what I am doing wrong please could you explain. Thank you in advance for any help, and please note that the files I wish to put on CD are files publicly available from the website of the church I attend, and I am recording them with the permission of members of the church purely for personal use.

Re: problems burning .wma files to CDR disks
Hi all, Sorry to reply to my own message, but I've even tried writing the .wma files to a CDR via the Send Too function in Windows XP and I'm still getting nowhere. When I try to write the files to CD I highlight each file in turn and then press shift F10 on it and select send to from the resulting list. From the list that then appears I select my CD drive, first making sure that the drive contains a CDR. Then Windows Media player opens and then nothing else takes place. So, please can someone tell me where I am going wrong, and send me either on or off list, some step by step instructions taking into account that I use Supernova rather than Jaws as my screen reader.

Re: is lightscribe accessible?
Hi Robbie, In answer to your question, I also have an Hp desktop, with a Lightscribe enabled drive. and after reading messages on this thread and taking a look at the web, I have concluded that actual burning of CDS seems to be possible with normal CDs, however, if you are wanting to use Lightscribe to label a CD then you need special Lightscribe disks.

some questions about burning CDS with Roxio Easy Media Creator 10
Hi all, I did manage to burn some .wma files onto CD the other day but can't seem to get the same procedure to work today, which has prompted me to ask any list members who use Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 if they can help. As I may have said, what I am trying to burn are files that I have downloaded as .MP3 and then converted into .wma files. They are audio, although they are speech rather than music, and therefore I have a question or two regarding the procedure I need to follow to burn them to CD. 1. Why does Roxio assume that all audio is going to be music, ? Am I correct in thinking that there are no special settings for recording speech tracks to CD? 2. If I want to put just one .wma file on a CD I seem to be having trouble getting the burn process to work even though I have now worked out where the burn button is, because I can't seem to be able to tell whether the process has completed, can anyone help with this either on or off list please.

Re: some questions about burning CDS with Roxio Easy Media Creator 10
Hi Roger, Thank you for your reply, and the answer to at least one of my questions. The point is however, that while I understand exactly what you are saying, I just think that designers of burning software should allow for the fact that, not everyone burns music and therefore the fields for information in such storage areas as libraries such as the one in Windows Media Player, and also the equivalent area in Roxio, should not be designed with music specific titles like artist and album.

Re: FM transmitter recommendation needed
Hello, I am kind of jumping in here but I thought I could help with this one. I use my C Crane FM transmitter to free myself from the computer. I listen to allot of books and how it works for me is; I open the book file and then let Window Eyes read to end. While the Transmitter is on I am free to roam about the house. I am not forced to sit in front of the computer nor do I have to subject the neighbors to what ever it is that I happen to choose. I used to have to put the computer speakers in the window to be able to listen while in the kitchen. That is nice when the weather permits and so long as that what ever I am reading is suitable for all ages to hear. smile.

Re: FM transmitter recommendation needed
Yes, that is exactly how it works. The transmitter plugs in to any line out jack for head phones. What ever sound the sound card is producing will come out through the transmitter. You could in theory plug it into a walkman and do the same thing. I have a Y splitter plugged into my line out of the computer. Then the speakers are plugged into one side and the transmitter into the other side. This way sound comes out in both places i.e.. the room ware the computer is and, in the living room through the stereo. Does that help?

I have posted a question about recording my screen reading voice while it is reading a document, is that some thing that this "olympus" thing could do?

Re: Looking for a different animal.
Jim, There was a thread about a USB FM transmitter. I don't know what kind it was but I'll paste a message leading to an ebay item here for you. Marco sent this info to the list. If you find that this is or not what you are looking for would you let me know? I am interested also. I just have one slight problem. I am technically impaired. I wouldn't know a USB if it bit me. Grin I also have a question for you. How far away can you get with your wireless keyboard? I didn't realize that you could leave the room with them. Here is the message from Marco: if people want to get it for slightly cheaper, check it out on ebay. I bought mine through ebay, and including shipping paid $74. you can also get one that connects up to your computer through the sound card and runs on 3 AA batteries. i recommend strongly though getting the USB version 3.0 though. you won't look back. absolutely fabulous product. if you go to www.ebay.com type in the following item number. 5731473129 or 5137022100 i got mine in 2 weeks shipped directly from the united states to melbourne australia, which i felt for the price and the excellent customer service from this particular ebayer was fantastic. he appears to have it as a buy it now price now for $39.95, so i would strongly urge you to jump on at that price. cheers. marco. ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Jim Noseworthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "MIDI-MAG: Blind folks and their use of MIDI" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 20, 2004 4:38 PM Subject: Looking for a different animal.

Re: Power Screw On C-crane FM Transmitter?
Hello, I know that this has also been asked and answered before, but where can you get this item? some one posted that they had attempted to buy a unit like this and received one that only transmitted 15 feet. I looked at my local radio shack and he says that what he has was designed for a car and will only transmit 15 feet also. I am not sure what brand that the radio shack guy was talking about I am not sure that this guy was the one with any answers. He said that what he had would not work on a home computer anyway. Santa, grin, was going to put one of these under the tree for me, but since the info didn't sound as if it would work he didn't do it. Can any one help me find this doo-dad? Thanks again.

Re: Power Screw On C-crane FM Transmitter?
Thanks for the link. That is the one!! I was reading the description and it says that you can either plug it in to the line out of the sound card or into the ear phone jack on the speakers. This may sound silly but if you plug it into the earphone jack on the speakers will the speakers stop playing the sound? If that is the case one would rather use the line out of the sound card right?. Now for the other silly question. I have speakers hooked up now. Where are they plugged into? I know that sounds silly but am I already using the out line of the sound card with the speakers? I think this is a one channel out put sound card so I am thinking that there will be only one place for this line out. Am I right or wrong? If I am right is there a splitter I can buy or am I going to have to get a new sound card? If I have to get a new sound card how hard are they to install? Sorry for all the questions.

Re: Power Screw On C-crane FM Transmitter?
Thanks Tom, That is kind of what I was thinking too. That I may need a new card so I'll have two outs from it. I want my cake and eat it too. I want to listen away from my computer and I want to still be able to hear it in the room with it. Picky, huh! I know that if I put head phones in the ear phone jack the speakers don't transmit sound anymore. That is what I think will happen with this unless it is different from a set of head phones.

Re: Power Screw On C-crane FM Transmitter?
Thank you Lois, Gary, Paul and Tom, I was hoping that a Y type splitter would work. I am going to call them today and see what my chances are of getting one of the stereo models ASAP. I thank you all. I only I had had the time to ask all these questions before Santa came. I could have passed this on to the elves. Smile! When I do get my little paws on one of these I'll probably ask the question that started this. What ever is the power screw for? I saw that there was an answer as how to find it and how to access it with a tiny screw driver but, Why do you want to? I'll need to know that answer when I get my new toy! I appreciate all the help.

Re: Hooking Up An FM Transmitter
Hello Tom, It sounds like you and I have the same issue. I only have just the one line out or the speaker jack you call it. The solution for me is that I want the speakers to work too so I have to get the "Y" adaptor. It will look like a speaker plug on one end (the male plug) and it will have two female plugs on the other end. This will allow us to have the actual speaker plugged in to one of the female plugs and the trans miter into the other female plug. I haven't gotten my toy yet but I am waiting impatiently for it.
