Hi Steve,
I really don't know.
I have become disillusioned about Soundtaxi.
I bought Soundtaxi Pro, which they say is suppose to be 50 times faster, but
it is know different than the Platinum version.

Thanks, Arthur, was wondering actually if the problem is my on board Realtek

the problem.

Subject: Batch Conversion With Sound Taxi

Can Sound Taxi or some other batch conversion program preserve the artist
and album folder structure when converting a batch of ripped CD's from WMA
lossless to MP3 format?



I bought Sound Taxi.  And I have also tried Easy CD-DA Extractor.  I 
specify
the output target root folder.  I select the artist folders in the 
lossless

CD directory.  When I perform the conversion, Sound Taxi says "conversion
complete" very quickly, but nothing happens.  Easy CD-DA Extractor does 
not

even enable the Convert option unless I drill down and specifically select
the .WMA files.



Is there a setting or procedure that will let me preserve the artist and
album folder structure when converting files in batch?



If not, do you know of another accessible program that will accomplish 
this?

How do you convert a batch of ripped CD's for playing in an MP3 player?



Thanks for all help.\\Rob

I would guess, in the  absence of no hard comparative data, that the audio
recording quality of the Pocket is quite a bit better than is the Olympus
DS-71, which I do have.

I find the Olympus, across a range of external mics does have a degree of

set

to wave recording and manual mic input levels.

Also, The Olympus doesn't actually have a line in, only a mic in port, so 
I

am curious about line in recording quality, and whether you are using an
attenuation cable to reduce the line in signal to mic levels?

That all said, I absolutely love my Olympus DS-71 in so many ways, and

so many reasons: its  extraordinarily flexible and effective voice 
recording

capabilities, battery life and replaceable batteries, and especially its
super compact size makes it a take everywhere audio device.

Speaker monitoring of line in recordings, and audible recording level

Hi all,

Just wondering, which one of the flash memory based recorders recently
discussed here, would be most suitable for making high quality 
recordings

from an external source via line-in?  e.g. a satellite receiver.

I don't intend recording via microphone, so that particular aspect of
performance is of limited interest.

Any views much appreciated.

Cheers,

as far as I know it does, to be a bit more clear, I do alot! of automobile 
recordings, just random outdoors, some indoor recordings, and am looking for 
something that will get almost crystal clear sound, for the past 5 years, I 
have been using a dell latitude d520's built in mike with audacity and only 
problem some times is the computer emits a ringing noise not to loud that if 
I am for example recording a startup of a vehicle it will over power it at 
all, but if its killed or I turn the vehicle off the sound can be herd some 
times.  thanks again!

Ok, re the DS-71 and the DM-520, , it is actually a tricky decision on one
hand, and a completely clear decision on the other.

This is a very detailed post.

I have both units - which I am happy about, because as a conference 
speaker,

the DS-71 (like the DS-50) mic remote control and detachable mic option is
perfect for capturing my presentations. I can wire myself up, and just 
flick

the switch on the remote to start and stop recording - almost total
reliability that record has activated.

If, you have a DS-50, you can use its remote control and Mic with the 
DS-71.

You can not, however, use the DS-50 or DS-71 remote control on the DM-520!

The price I paid for the DS-71 was nearly double that of the DM-520, and 
in

many ways the DS-71 is an inferior product, using an older generation of
technology. I actually think someone stuffed up somewhere in releasing the
DS-71 when they did, it feels like a legacy product that was very delayed 
to

market.

Still speaking about the DS-71, the recording quality is pretty good, and
you do notice the Wave recording improvement over the DS50 and the WMA on
the DS-71.  However, it is not as good as the audio recording quality of 
the

DM-520, and has more noise floor and Mic preamp noise (I think).

In addition, the external stereo Microphone for the DS-71, though an
improvement on the DS-50 mic is definitely inferior to the in-built stereo
Mics of the DM-520, especially if you want to use any of the zoom 
recording
modes that The DS-71 offers. I don't actually believe that they fully 
tuned

the DS-71 mics for the Zoom technology. I would never use any of the zoom
options on the DS-71, but I do use them for some situations (especially
Narrow, and sometimes wide) on the DM-520.

The narrow setting is good for keeping sounds localised, and the wide 
option

is good for spreading the left right mike pickup to catch several speakers
from a single location.

If you want to hear how the DM-520 Narrow zoom mic setting works in open 
air

situations, you can go to my CoffeeCast Conversations podcast at
http://coffeecast.posterous.com

Other advantages of the DS-71 are that it buffers key presses far better.
For flipping  back and forth between recordings in a folder, results are
better.  Also it doesn't exhibit the annoying audio click through the
speaker when you move to different recordings.  Both these problems with 
the
DM-520 are bugs, and I do hope a firmware release will address them, as 
they

do frustrate me, when using the DM-520 as a voice recorder.

Also, it is necessary, occasionally, to reboot the DM-520 to fix an
occasional bug where recording is flawed and choppy.  This means that
absolute trust of capturing a recording is somewhat compromised. 
Monitoring

important recordings with earphones is therefore useful.  I power the
machine off, and back on prior to doing interviews, where I can't afford 
to

lose quality of a recording.

Finally, in complaint about the DM-520 is that I have stopped using the
supplied rechargeable batteries, as they were dying unexpectedly, even 
when
supposedly fully charged. I haven't had the time to fully track this 
problem
down, or do charge discharge cycling to see if the problem goes away. Not 
a

big problem for me, as I am happy to swap in regular AAA batteries before
important recordings.

The other relatively minor advantage of the DS-71 is that its size is
smaller than the DM-520 if you remove the stereo mic. They are equivalent
sized, when the external mic is attached.

I still love the audio quality of memos recorded with the in-built mono 
mic

of the DS-71. You have to change your mic technique considerably with the
DM-520, so it isn't optimised for close mouth memoing, but mostly this
doesn't matter.

I think the DS-71 gives you 200 files for each of the five folders.  With
4gb, this may or may not work for you! I found this limitation a problem
once or twice.

On the DM-520 you get 999 files per folder, and if you add Micro SD card,
you then have ten folders to categorise stuff in to.

All that said, though, my DS-71 is sitting here on my desk, hardly used
since the new machine arrived, and my DM-520 is always in my pocket, ready
for any situation I need to make a note, or capture a meeting or
conversation.

In summary:

Unless you Really need the remote control, you will probably be best off
with the DM-520, it is a magic machine, accessibility is good and the

The only reason you would go for the DS-71 over the DM520 is if you want 
to

always use it as a personal voice recorder, or you like the wired remote
control mic.

It is fare as a sound effects recorder, great for in-door and out-door 
voice

capture.

A Pocket with quality external mics, or another higher grade recorder that
isn't accessible will be better for full spectrum sound, but the DM-520 is
actually pretty good and definitely the best all-rounder for its size.

I would guess, in the  absence of no hard comparative data, that the 
audio
recording quality of the Pocket is quite a bit better than is the 
Olympus

DS-71, which I do have.

I find the Olympus, across a range of external mics does have a 
degree of
background hiss (preamp noise or circuit noise). This is the case 
when set

to wave recording and manual mic input levels.

Also, The Olympus doesn't actually have a line in, only a mic in 
port, so I
am curious about line in recording quality, and whether you are using 
an

attenuation cable to reduce the line in signal to mic levels?

That all said, I absolutely love my Olympus DS-71 in so many ways, 
and for
so many reasons: its  extraordinarily flexible and effective voice 
recording
capabilities, battery life and replaceable batteries, and especially 
its

super compact size makes it a take everywhere audio device.

Speaker monitoring of line in recordings, and audible recording level
feedback are features unique to the Plextalk recorders.

Regards
Tim

microphone that is quite strong and will do an excellent job of picking up
sound in a large area.  It has voice prompts to guide you through how to us
it as well.  This recorder comes with 4 GB of memory for recording.
Your cost for this recorder is $229, includes UPS ground shipping.

  The DM-520 comes with 4 GB of internal and a card slot in the battery
compartment that will hold a mini SD card.  You may put up to 16 GB of
memory in this recorder.
  The mikes on this recorder are built in and cannot be removed.  However
there is a mike jack that will allow you to add additional mikes if you need
to.  There are no voice prompts on this recorder to guide you through how to
use it.  Your cost for this recorder is $189, includes UPS ground shipping.

top end of the unit, not from the front or back sides of the machine.

So, if you are recording a person, you really want to point the end of the
unit towards their voice, not hold the unit vertically.

I haven't done major tests with external mics, and I don't know what the
real mic preamp noise is like on the machine.  I hope it is a lot better
than the audio quality on the DS-71 when external mics are used, as it was
below par in my view.

For the record, this machine isn't very downwards compatible with the mic
extension cord and remote switch that comes with the DS-50 and the DS-71. 
I

made a remote recording the other day, only to find it was blank. This was
with a monaural external mic. Wasn't very happy.

I think so.  Actually, I could provide you with a pretty decent demo or 
two

if your email could take attachments.  I was walking down the street in tn

quite

happy with it as opposed to the internals.

Just curious. Do you use the wrist strap and the case both? Not sure if I

the

external mic you mentioned gives good stereo separation?

There's a nice soni stereo mic that does exactly what you want and yes, 
it
does have a clip.  A abit pricy though at about $89.00, depending on 
where

you get it.  I got mine with the recorder from Fergeson Enterprises.

I got my new DM-520 today and am having fun with it. The built-in mic
makes
some great recordings but environmental recordings are going to be tricky
although the writst strap will help. What I need is a decent stereo mic
that

won't break the bank. Something that clipts to a shirt, fits on glasses

Re: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520

[tim]

lol have to add the other day I went outside, lit up a ciggerette and took a 
nice big puff when I played back the recording I made, you could here the 
tabaco going threw the ciggerette all crackly lol was kind of neat so I am 
happy with the dm520 internal mikes but would like stereo ones as well.  I 
did notice some times when recording a vehicle or something it kind of fades 
in and out instead of all the sounds being all nice and blindeed together, 
some are louder then others

Re: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520

[tim]

hi, thanks, also if I don't want timer recording or anything, how do I turn 
it off completely, I made one the other day, and it turned off right in the 
middle of it I hadn't even stopped it it just beeped at me I thought the 
batteries might had been low but they weren't but when I played it back it 
played just fine just cut off at the 4 min mark or so so wondering what 
might have caused that? thanks much! lol this way if I am making something 
it doesn't cut off right in the middle of it

Very easy, to adjust recording level when set to manual, you press left or

To increase playback monitor volume through headphones while recording, up

Subject: RE: What is a good stereo mic for the DM-520


What isn't immediately apparent about the Dm-520 internal mics is that 
the

unit works a bit like a shot-gun.  Most of the sound is taken in from the
top end of the unit, not from the front or back sides of the machine.

So, if you are recording a person, you really want to point the end of 
the

unit towards their voice, not hold the unit vertically.

I haven't done major tests with external mics, and I don't know what the
real mic preamp noise is like on the machine.  I hope it is a lot better
than the audio quality on the DS-71 when external mics are used, as it 
was

below par in my view.

For the record, this machine isn't very downwards compatible with the mic
extension cord and remote switch that comes with the DS-50 and the DS-71.
I
made a remote recording the other day, only to find it was blank. This 
was

with a monaural external mic. Wasn't very happy.

I think so.  Actually, I could provide you with a pretty decent demo or
two
if your email could take attachments.  I was walking down the street in 
tn

English village and really got some good traffic sound in stereo.  I'm
quite
happy with it as opposed to the internals.

the

There's a nice soni stereo mic that does exactly what you want and yes,
it
does have a clip.  A abit pricy though at about $89.00, depending on
where
you get it.  I got mine with the recorder from Fergeson Enterprises.

I got my new DM-520 today and am having fun with it. The built-in mic
makes
some great recordings but environmental recordings are going to be 
tricky

although the writst strap will help. What I need is a decent stereo mic
that

Re batteries on DM-520

1. When USB is connected from the pc, you need to select (with voice
feedback whether you want to charge, or connect the unit for data 
transfer.


2. It doesn't automatically try and charge any batteries,  you either need
to initiate this, or select the mode.

3. I had some reliability problems - but really didn't dig deeply  to
resolved it, with the supplied batteries, which it said were fully 
charged,
but which were behaving oddly, so I mainly use regular AAA's in the

4. As with the DS-71, the batter level is announced when ever you power 
the
machine off and on, so it is easy to be sure your batteries have 
sufficient

juice for a recording session ahead.

I just placed an order for the Olympus DM-520 and was  reading through the
manual which I found online at www.olympusamerica.com. In reading, I saw
that when using the supplied rechargable batteries, one must connect the
unit to a PC and hold the stop button until the indicator lets one know 
that

the unit is charging. How is this accomplished if you can't see the
indicator?

If I choose not to use the rechargable batteries and just plop some 
regular

batteries in the recorder, will the recorder try to charge the
nonrechargable batteries when I attach it to the PC to transfer files? Any
light shed on this point would be much appreciated. Thanks.

success.

This is the website for the franschoek motor museum.  If you click on one 
of
the vehicles on the the cars section, you will get to the history and 
specs

of a certain vehicle.  Acfcording to the folks at the museum, there is
supposed to be a start button on which you can hear the specific vehicle
starting up and driving.  However, using Jaws 10 I cannot find any start
button there.  Jaws only says start flash an end flash.  Can someone with
much more technical skills please look at the site and tell me how I can 
get

to these audio samples?

Please if possible answer me off list as I do not want to clutter up 
things.

Hi,

Well I really don't want to start a religious discussion aboutthis topic,
but in the good old days I would have chosen Winamp as my one and only
player without any hesitation.

But today I'm a little bit in doubt, what's the best solution.

I'm running windows 7 and the latest winamp 5.57 various versions really 
has

issues that can make it crash some times.

So now I'm in search for a lite, super fast easy to use player with good
navigation keys and such.

I really love the Mardi Playlist program allot, but it also has afew 
issues.

For example it's programmed in a way that make jaws a little bit too
verbose, and it's quite slow when starting.

I also wish it could play afew video files, so it could become the 
preferred

media application for all types of streaming media.



Hmm wel it might even end up in a reinstallation of winamp again. Grin

But I'm very curious to hear, if someone on this list has good experience
with other mediaplayers with broad support for all kind of media files.



Best regards

Brian

Ladies and gentlemen,

The message posted by Christopher Chaltain a few hours ago
states perfectly the purpose for this list and he says it
much better than I can.

I do not intend to insult or be critical of anyone.  My only
intent is to keep messages posted to this list relevant to
audio software, hardware and closely related subjects.  The
list was started eleven or twelve years ago by Jonathan Mosen
specifically for discussing working with audio on a computer.

A few years ago I set up a poll asking the membership if they
would want the subject matter of the list to be expanded to
include consumer audio products, since these products are
often used in conjunction with a computer, and a large
percentage of those who voted said yes, so, now messages
about audio receivers, amplifiers etc. are permitted.

There are approximately five hundred subscribers to this
list.  I think we who post to the list should be considerate
of those subscribers who are here because it's an audio
related list and not cause an increase of list traffic
discussing issues and subjects that are off topic.

Thank you,

Tom, list administrator.

Re: Frustrated with Rhapsody

[TIM GRADY]

You can use rhapsody but not all of it, for example, I was never able to 
burn directly using rhapsody but I used the cd burner in realplayer instead. 
It's the same with transferring songs to a mp3 player, but again you can 
easily use realplayer.  It isn't easy to use rhapsody.  It requires a lot of 
use of the virtual cursor so called in jfw or mouse keys in window-eyes.  I 
used it for years until I couldn't justify the cost per month any more.

Yu might want to go to www.macvisionaries.com and join the mac  
general discussions list.  Also give a little more information about  
the problems you're having.  It's a little hard to help you if noone  
knows what your problem is.

Re: Nero 7 Question

[Tim Grady]

Well, the first thing you should know is that when you burn an  
audible book to CD you do it in Audible Manager and let the Manager  
deal with Nero.  Just choose the CD burner as your audible device,  
select the book, hit your context key and choose burn to cd.  If you  
haven't activated the burner yet you have to do that before you will  
be allowed to burn books.

Re: Nero 7 Question

[Tim Grady]

Well, I'm not at my Windows machine right now or I'd tell you exactly  
how to find the burner component, but it's something like this.  Hit  
your windows key.  Hit p until you get to the programs menu. If you  
land on the inside of the nenu hit n until you hear Nero, otherwise  
if you land on program menu hit right arror and then the n key until  
you hear nero.  Inside the nero menu are submenus with names like  
Audio, Data and sutch.  Go in to audio or data and look for Nero  
Burning ROM.

Re: question about any DVD and clone DVD

[Tim Grady]

If you want to make backups of your program DVDs you need both of  
them.  Anydvd breaks the commercial copy protection and clonedvd  
compresses the dvd so it can fit on a 4.77 DVD.  It can also pull out  
a specific portion of a DVD to write.  This is the best way I've  
found to make dvd backups

Re: question about any DVD and clone DVD

[Tim Grady]

It's not easy.  You can put out chapters, titles and specific audio  
tracks and subtitles.  In otherwords you can customize your copy of a  
commercial dvd to the point that it will fit on a 4.77 DVD without  
any compression.  I did, however, have to get initial sighted help to  
figure out how to make the selections, and I did notice that the  
vidio is different from machine to machine.  I would offer to give  
you some pointers on how to use the software except now I find myself  
using my mac instead of my windows machine.

You can do it with Itunes, but it's easiest to do it with nero 7.70

Can't do that any more.  Either you burn with Nero or you don't burn

Who told you it won't rip tracks?  Unless they did away with a major

Re: Accessible Sirius Receiver Suggestions Please?

[Tim Grady]

They may not know what you mean by accessible, just like I don't.  If  
you mean can you turn them on and change stations, I don't know of an  
XM receiver you can't do that to.  If you mean one that will speak  
everthing then you won't find one in either company.  If you mean one  
that will partially speak then XM has them.  They are usually some of  
the replay models.  I can't remember what they are, but I have seen  
one.  I'm still using my old PCR.

Re: Accessible Sirius Receiver Suggestions Please?

[Tim Grady]

You would really be doing yourself a discsrvice to yourself if you  
don't work with a reseller of the radios.  In the first place, most  
of the receivers for both Sirius and XM have buttons you can feel and  
they beep for a lot of things.  I haven't heard people do much  
talking about this but most of the receivers for XM have the same  
basic features that work the same way from receiver to receiver.  The  
same is true for Sirius.  You absolutely do not need a boom box for  
any receiver.  On my Sirius receiver I use the home docking unit and  
hook it up to my Bose.  Some of the newer units don't even require a  
home or car docking kit.  What's really important is what service  
works best in your area and you should also get a hands on look.

It's just regular commercial radio with a few more stations thrown  
in.  Eventually it will be there in some form but it won't be this  
form.  If you are disappointed in regular broadcast radio then just  
think of this as what there is now with better sound oh yea, and for  
sighted people more on the display.

Any DVD player software should play it.  If the software has a way to  
open the DVD media then open the video.ts folder and see if it works.   
If it doesn't then there's something wrong with your video.ts.

Re: iTunes and Audio Editing Questions for Mac Users

[Tim Grady]

Here's the deal.  Some parts of Itunes are accessible, in fact a lot  
of it is, but you can't purchase albums.  You can purchase videos,  
audio books or movies if you are lucky enough to find them in a search  
of the Itunes store.  You'll need sighted help to access your account,  
and every-time they do an update to Itunes you won't be able to  
purchase anything without getting some sighted help to hit the agree  
button on an agreement between you and the Itunes music store.

Re: using goldwave to convert audible files

[Tim Grady]

Some people still can do it, but no one knows why.  The sure way to do  
it is with Soundtaxi.  Use Soundtaxi to convert the files to .wav  
format and then use Goldwave to do anything else.

Well, I'm not at the computer I saved my order message on, but if you  
google it and still can't find it let me know.  Seems to me there were  
a few packages and I have the pro package.  I don't remember the  
price, but I remember being surprised at how cheap it was for what it  
did.

Foobar 2000

Hi,

I'd be interested in any comments re the accessability of foobar 2000 with 
screen readers, in particular win-eyes.

Also does anyone know of a tutorial anywhere, on  using it with speech.

Thanks,

Well, if you had bought directly from them, they would have had your

Re: Foobar 2000

[Tim Crawford]

Hi,

I've downloaded the latest version, (0.9.5.1)  however it initially doesn't 
appear very accessible, at least with window-eyes.
Are earlier versions more usable?  I've read something regarding a screen 
reader compatibility setting, but can't locate it in the programs 
preferences.

Also wonder could anyone give me a list of the basic keyboard shortcuts for 
the main player controls.

Many thanks,

Tim.

improving audio quality using skype

[Tim Cumings]

I produce a podcast in which one of the participants is using a cordless phone. 
Although I have a good phone interface, I'd like to improve the audio quality. 
I've thought of skype as a possible solution. My question is this. On the skype 
web site they talk about equipment which you can hook to any cordless phone to 
make it able to connect to skype. Using such equipment, would this improve the 
audio quality? Secondly, does anyone know how accessible this equipment is?

Re: XM PCR

[Tim Grady]

Sure it is.  I subscribe to both and I have to say that the only reason I 
keep XM is the MLB and 1 or 2 other channels.  I do like the way XM 
organizes it's sports channels, but I have online access so I can keep up 
with the Sirius sports schedules amd plus they have a lot more of it. 
Sometimes I wish I could read the Sirius display, but then again sometimes I 
wish I could drive.  Reading the text display from my XM PCR is not a high 
priority for me..

ozone isotope and other plug-ins

[Tim Cumings]

I recently went toa podcasting conference and one of the software plug-ins for 
mastering was ozone isotope, which runs under mac and pc. Has anyone tried this 
sioftware to determine how accessible it is? I'm looking for plug-ins that will 
work while recording, as just opposed to post-production. I'm using goldwave, 
which can use direct x plug-ins.

Re: XM PCR

[Tim Grady]

Well, its adequate for most people.  Most of your criticisms are very 
subjective, for example your program one.  There really isn't much 
difference in the music programming except that XM has added 10 more music 
channels with commercials.  For the most news, talk and sports Sirius does 
better than XM, although there are 1 or two channels that XM carries that I 
wish Sirius did carry.  For most sports you can't beat Sirius, although XM 
does carry the MLB and the ACC basketball and football.  I don't no how much 
use people have for an on the go portable unit as most people use the 
receivers in their cars or homes.  Those of us who use it any where else 
usually use boomboxes.

They did, but you can still activate/reactivate an XM PCR unit if necessary.

It is, as far as I know, the most accessible satellite radio unit, and if I
can find one cheap enough, I might just get myself an extra unit on Ebay,
sometime. . I like being able to know what's playing when I'm not online,
and since I'm still on dial up, by the time I get online to look at:

www.xm411.comm

the song has changed. But, that site does work very well for me.

If I remember right, they discontinued the XMPCR about a year and a half ago
because of some software some guy created which allowed users to set the
XMPCR to not only record songs/programs from XM as individual MP3's, but to
tag them with ID3 tags as well.  The creator mainly did this for the
concerts that used to air on XM Live, but the RIAA freaked out because they
figured this would lead to more music being available for file-sharing and
felt XM wasn't doing enough to protect copyrights and such.

For those who want to see what's playing though, go to www.xm411.com.  The
MacroMedia Flash movie thing seems to be mostly accessible.  I've used it
successfully.

On a sidenote, as an XM subscriber, I've suggested that they do like the DMX
Music service that was on my digital cable used to do...If you clicked on a
channel, it'd show a list of the last ten songs that had played on that
channel.  Since then, Comcast has switched to Music Choice, whose site, last
time I checked, is pretty uninformative.  For those who ARE XM subscribers,
I made my suggestion of showing the last ten songs on each channel to the
head of music programming, Jon Zellner...Very cool guy.  If you're an XM
subscriber who uses a screenreader and would like to see this, either use
the contact links at xmradio.com, or email Mr. Zellner at

One thing to consider before buying one is if you can activate it
now.  This may not be a problem at aall but something worth checking
on.  I enjoy mine.  It is the best designed digital radio for us if
it is satellite or any other of digital radio.  They won't make the
others where we can see what song is playing.

the paid version of winamp burns at 48x, but this is only useful if you have
a burner that supports burning that fast. not many burners that come with
pc's do, and most of the lower end externals or mountables do either. my
laptop only burns at 16x i think, possibly 24 and the one i installed on the
98 machine does 16, and we paid pretty good money for it.

RE: ripping CD's with windows media player

[Tim Grady]

Now, why would you say something like that.  Of course Replayer allows .mp3
conversions.

I think its stupid that real player doesn't allow .mp3 conversion, but that 
is about the only setback I can see, although you have to pay for some 
things which is even more of a drag. I stil like winamp, though, but I use 
meedia player for leasure music listening since its real easy to make 
playlists in.

RE: ripping CD's with windows media player

It isn't a music format.  What it is is a designation meaning that the codec
you are using does not lose audio quality because of compression.

I don't know, even my Ipod supports the Real format, both protected and

Hi Tyler.

There's plenty of references to using OGG plug-ins in media player - just
google it.  As for the real format, well that's just too proprietary and
will never be supported widely by portable devices and is a pain to convert
so that's a non starter for me even if it is the best player in the world.

You could just change the output format, and maybe Realplayer would rip the

RE: ripping CD's with windows media player

I don't know why people have such a problem ripping CD's with Windows Media
Player.  Just don't have the player in skin mode and make extensive use of
your tab key and it's easy to do what you want.

Hello,
Beginning with windows media player 9, you should be able to rip cds. The
default is wma. If you want to rip using any other format such as mp3, you
will have to go into the options and change that. With 9, you needed an mp3
incoder. But with 10, you do not. I did have a lot of trouble with media
player telling me I needed an in coder with 10. but I no longer have the
problem. I am not exactly sure what I did to get it fixed, but I'm ripping
to mp3 just fine now. It doesn't seem like windows media plaer 10 is all
that speech friendly though. But you can use it.

RE: ripping CD's with windows media player

[Tim Grady]

Check the view menu if you want to fool with it, but it isn't useful to us.
Just turn it off when you start up Windows Media Player by hitting ctrl-1.
You only have to do this once.

Initially, I had lots of problems ripping cds with media player 10. Not only
did I but others kept getting the message that an in coder was needed. Yet
when I went to the ms web site on this iit said the incoder for mp3 was
already installed. Since joining the list, somehow I solved this problem
though I don't know how. I had other people try ripping just to see if I was
doing anything wrong.
As for skin mode, where can I go to check on that?

I don't know why people have such a problem ripping CD's with Windows Media
Player.  Just don't have the player in skin mode and make extensive use of
your tab key and it's easy to do what you want.

It might just be the speed of the media you are buying.  Just buy CD's that
are rated for your drives maximum speed.

HellO!
Ok its really frustrating when you ask a question and you dont get them
answererd.
THis is the 4-th question in 1 month i ask which i hope will be answererd.
Maybe my questions are to complex or maybe im not getting through.
But instead of picking on folks i ask another one.
Lets say i have set goldwave or whatever soundrecording software to record
from one sound card and have another soundcard as a playback sound device.
Is it then possible to hear through the playback device what you are
recording from the recording device?
A kind of monitor option.
Thanks.

RE: ripping CD's with windows media player

[Tim Grady]

The max will show up in Windows Media player as what ever the speed of media
was rated the last time you burned a cd.  Find out what your drive is rated
for and buy the corresponding media.  If you are running 98SE or above then
the only thing you would need to update is your drive.  Do you use nero?  If
so, run the info tool on your drive.

RE: tv question

[Tim Grady]

It's called a RF signal and has nothing to do with what you want to do.
What you have to do is take the audio signal from your TV.  On newer TV's
there are usually output female RCA plugs on the back, left and right audio
and composite video.  These are all color coded, red and white for the audio
and yellow for the video.  You need to hook up to your output terminals on
the TV or VCR or DVD player or whatever you want to use.  On some TV's you
have to go through menus to turn the output jacks on.  If your TV doesn't
have jacks on the back then use your VCR.

hi all,
I'm in a rural area. We haven't got satelite yet, we're still receiving UHF
or whatever type of signals the old analog tv is. I've got a question. We've
got the main antenna box downstairs. We've got a cable running up to my
room, where it's plugged into my fairly new VCR DVD combo. It's using the
old cables, the ones you find in stereos for the FM antenna, can't remember
the name, not RCA though. From there, that same type of connection leads up
to my tv where the video and sound are played. I've got a question. My tv
doesn't have a headphone plug anywhere, and i want to run voyager through my
stereo. Is there a way to do this? the vcr has a couple of jacks set in the
front and a group of three three and two RCA jacks vertically on the back.
Do I have to wait till I get satelite and patch the RCA cables to my stereo,
or is there some way or feature i should look for to put tv through my
stereo instead of my crappy tv.

Looks like Sirius satellite has locked out the blind pc user
from using its online tuner service by instituting a captcha.

Is this true? I will check it soon to see.

Sirius just changed their online radio tuner to require a
captcha - an entry of random letters that only a sighted person
can see - in order to listen online.
 Not only does it make it impossible for Blind users to listen
online, but it also makes it impossible for Replay A/V to
automatically tune to Sirius channels.

Would you mind writing to Sirius on behalf of the Blind
Community and finding out if there is an alternative way to log
in?

RE: Sirius Online Player now has AutocaptchaandweBlindpeoplearelockedout.

[Tim Grady]

It would be hard to give you an answer because it depends a lot in what
you're looking for.  There used to be a big price difference but there isn't
any more.  Having both services I find myself listening to Sirius more
because I like Jazz, sports and talk.  Sirius gives me most of what I need
there.  I have XM because they carry baseball and the ACC conference in
college football and basketball.  They also carry two talk channels that
Sirius doesn't carry, but the problem I have with XM music is first of all
their programming sounds like Clear Channel and secondly Sirius has what I
need.  As a matter of fact if it weren't for the sports that I can't get on
Sirius, XM would be gone.

I haven't really gotten a dfinitive answer as to what service is the best 
overall. Some people swear that XM is the besrt and there others that say 
sirious is the way to go. What I do know is that sirious has more commercial

free channals. When it comes to receivers I have noticed that XM probably 
has more of a choice. At present I receive the weekly XM newsletter and that

seems to be very accessible with jaws.

I wont get into an argument about content and whether they are bad or 
not
 but how an you explain that XM stock has dropped $10 in the past month
 but
 Sirius's stock has remained pretty steady, in fact it dropped below $4 
 a
 share for a bit but it was up to $4.13.

 What can you expect from that company? Those are bad people at Sirius.
 People just need to learn that XM is better than that stupid network
 that
 plays songs over and over and features Howard Stern. Down with Sirius!

RE: Sirius Online Player now has Autocaptcha and we Blindpeoplearelocked out.

[Tim Grady]

Well, I'll check that out.  Ther is a "remember me" check mark when you log
into the player, so I guess it depends on what's being remembered.

Ok, let's cut through the bs about which company is better at what 
and let me ask a question which, i hhopewill get an answer so that it 
will be more clear.

what I can't figure out is this.  is this a question of having to 
enter a captcha *every* time you listen, or is this for setting up an 
an account to become a member and listen one time only?
Because if it's a one time only thing, then they could very easily 
set up a system like the other companies out there have and have an 
audio representation. if it's random and it must occur before you 
listen every time, this could proove to be more challenging. and not 
to just blind people, or whatever term you choose to use for 
us.  there are an increasing number of people out there with vision 
that is getting worse day by day because they might be getting older 
or other reasons and this effects them too. I understand Siriu's need 
to do this from a business standpoint, but they've got to be held 
accountable for making their service accessible to everybody, blind or
sighted.

  Hopefully we'll get some answers on this.

It's
