Hi All: Wondering whether anyone here has experience of the newer, 2018 generation Mac Mini. I'm particularly interested in the builtin speaker. Is it adequate for Voice Over use? Is the volume and sound quality adequate for TTS? Where is the speaker located on the unit physically? Thanks in adva

The speaker is great for VoiceOver and basic audio. It’s pretty clear and loud. However, if you are going to listen to music or videos, you are probably better off adding some kind of speaker. I got a display that has the built in speakers which Apple recommends. Take Care John D. Panarese

I use my local County Library system to find digital audio books. Once I borrow them, I use Overdrive to do the actual downloading of the MP3 format files. Then I process them with Audio Book Binder to create the M4B book files that I sync to my iPhone. Seems like a lot of steps at first, but th

Thanks, Dave. This is fascinating. I have to say that I haven't seen an audio book on a physical CD in years. Brings back a lot of memories of long car trips. :) I get my books from Bookshare, Bard, or Apple Books and Kindle, so have never bothered using the Overdrive system, but I'm surprised t

It is quite good for the voice range and music is like with a small radio. If you want it for fuller music sound the mini jack allows an external speaker or the blutooth for a compatible speaker. On Tue, 24 Mar 2020, 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries wrote: > Hi All: > > Wondering whether anyon
