Hi Bruce, I've been wondering the same thing.
I heard on TV. last week, That both
MX and Cereous, have applications before the C R T C,  and are waiting for
an answer.
 They are going to add Canadian stations to their channels, the discussion
apparently is over how many. But they want a answer soon.

Fwd: Read and write audio cassettes on a pc

2004-11-05 Thread John Schwery
This looks interesting.  Here is a cassette drive that one installs into a pc.
Text of forwarded message follows:

Subject: Read and write audio cassettes on a pc
http://www.computeramerica.com/content/columns/craig/2004/2004-10-25.htm
Craig Crossman, National Newspaper Computer Columnist
CASSETTES ARE NEVER COMING BACK
We live in a digital age and no where is that more apparent than in the 
world of recorded music. Analog media such as vinyl records and cassette 
tapes are all but extinct. Walk in to any record store today and all you 
see are CDs and DVDs. MP3 music files stream over the Internet, to be 
down loaded in to tiny MP3 players we carry in our pockets, stored on 
hard disk drives in our computers and burned onto optical media to be 
played on our stereo equipment.
Yet you are out there and you all know who you are. You're the ones that 
still have a huge music collection of hundreds, even thousands of 
cassette tapes stored in closets, in storage boxes, or stacked neatly on 
tiny little shelves in some kind of display case. And while you may
still locate some one to maintain your antique cassette player, you know 
that eventually your valuable collection is doomed to go the way of the 
78 RPM record and 8 Track tape. And that doesn't even factor in the fact 
that the magnetic tape inside all of your cassettes will eventually
decompose and become useless any way.
But fear not as there remains hope for your rapidly deteriorating 
cassette tape collection. Now there is the PlusDeck 2 made by BTO which 
stands for Beyond The Ordinary. The PlusDeck 2 is a fully functional 
cassette deck for your personal computer. The PlusDeck 2 is an internal
drive that fits in to one of the available 5.25 drive bays inside your 
PC. After installation, you simply insert a cassette in to the drive. 
The included recording software allows you to transfer all of the music 
from the cassette directly to your computer's hard drive and converts it 
in to MP3 or WAV files. Once converted, you can do any thing with the 
files that you can do with any other digitally encoded music.
The entire process of transferring a tape's contents to the computer 
only requires a few clicks of the mouse. Part of what makes it easy to 
convert the entire contents of a single tape is that the PlusDeck 2 
plays and records with Auto Reverse. You can easily play or record on
sides A and B of the tape without ejecting it. On the down side, 
according to the company there is no support for cassettes that used 
some of the more advanced recording tape such as chrome or metal tapes.
And tapes encoded with Dolby Noise Reduction are not supported either.
However, you should be able to compensate for some of the loss of 
frequency response by using most any digital recording software that 
offers graphic equalization and sound filters.
But even though the PlusDeck 2 falls a bit short, it's still a viable 
option if you own a large collection of music on cassettes. Plus you can 
use the PlusDeck 2 as a standard cassette player. Just pop one in and 
listen to the music directly from the tape through your PC's speakers.
And if you just can't ever let go of the medium, you can actually take 
all of your computer's audio files and record them on to blank cassettes 
you insert in to the PlusDeck 2 if you can still find any. With the 
PlusDeck 2, at least you'll be able to play, store, preserve and enhance
your cassette tape collection and bring your whole cassette library in 
to the standards of the present day. $149.99.

Re: Read and write audio cassettes on a pc

2004-11-05 Thread Harry Bassler
Hey Denny, I do the same thing, copy lp's  old open reel  cassettes into
my pc.
The lp's never sounded so good.
Doesn't seem to matter which software I use to copy, the audio is greatly
enhanced  plays from the pc crystal clear. It does seem to matter which
software I use to play them back from the pc, Winamp gives the best playback
sound, especially on the bass, giving a more natural bass whereas some other
softwares give more of a thumping bass rather than the pure bass tones.
Even the old mono lp's get enhanced sound, this is true even of some old
lp's from the 40's.
Thanks, Harry Bassler

 John and list,
 That was an interesting article.  I'm one of those guys that has many
 45s and 12 inch singles.  Of course I've got cds too.  The frequency
 response on the records is incredible.  That's providing you keep the
 records in mint condition.  I get requests from friends for certain songs
 such as Maroon 5, as well as older artists.  I record the 45s on to the
 computer, and put them on cds for them.  Yes, current songs are still
 available on vinyl.  As for the tapes, if you were able to get the metal
 ones, those sounded really good.  Talk to you guys later.

 Newsgroups: alt.comp.blind-users

 Greetings,

 I am a MCP, and long time ago I developed a simple
 program with the
 objective of allow the user to play music using the
 computer keyboard.
 It is
 not apropriated for professional uses, of course,
 but is very simple to
 use,
 it is free and doesn't require any kind of
 configuration.

 The software was not created especifically for
 handicapped people (by
 the
 way, I'm not blind), but several blind users were
 able to use it
 without any
 problem. Once the program is started, it is ready to
 play. Some
 settings
 like Volume, Instrument and Chords can be defined
 using the keys from
 F1 to
 F12 (the keys are already programmed to perform
 theese actions). If you
 are
 able to see a little, or have some friend that can
 describe an image
 for
 you, ask him to access this :

http://pianoeletronico.tripod.com/images/piano_tela.gif
 . It is a
 screenshot
 of the main screen of the program, it shows how
 simple and easy to use
 the
 program is.

 One of the most interesting things in the program is
 the fact that you
 can
 play using any one of the 128 Instrument Set (from
 Gerenal MIDI
 Standard),
 and even press more than one key at the same time to
 play
 poliphonically.

 Play music using the computer keyboard may seen
 pointless if you have a
 real
 piano or eletronic keyboard, but consider the
 possibility to play
 anytime,
 anywere (perhaps in your lunch break, and I presume
 that you don't have
 a
 piano in you office!).

 You can download the program using this link :

http://pianoeletronico.tripod.com/files/Setup_Piano_Eletronico.zip

 The program is absolutelly free, and it never
 expires.

 I created a Home-Page with all the information about
 the program, but
 unfortunelly the site is in Portuguese only by now.
 The link is
 http://pianoeletronico.tripod.com . If you have
 experience with Visual
 Basic, you can download an Open-Source (but simpler)
 version of the
 program
 at http://pianoeletronico.tripod.com/minipiano.html

 You can see an English version of the site
 (performed by Google
 translation
 engine) here :

http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpianoeletronico.t

ripod.com%2Flangpair=pt%7Cenhl=pt-BRie=UTF-8ie=UTF-8oe=UT
 F-8prev=%2Flanguage_tools

 However, the translated version has some flaws, so
 I decided to
 perform my
 own translation of the most important information
 about the program.
 Here it
 comes :

 Electronic Piano 2.0 is a Freeware program
 (gratuitous) with the
 objective
 to allow the user to play musical notes and chords
 through the computer
 keyboard. Even making use of the MIDI resources of
 the sound card (like
 the
 avaibility of 128 musical instruments), the program
 doesn't require
 knowledge or configuration of Drivers or any device
 connected to the
 system.
 Basically, Electronic Piano 2.0 is a program
 indicated for people who
 simply
 wants to play music in the computer at any time,
 without have to
 purchase
 and install a professional music edition software
 (usually expensive).

 Characteristics of the Program :
 - 128 musical instruments available
 - 47 different sounds of drums and percussion
 - Poliphony (possibility to play more than one note
 at the same time)
 - Control of Main Volume and Pan
 - Combine up to 3 different musical instruments (any
 one of the 128)
 - Graphical panel with the keys
 - Note lenght is determined by the amount of time
 that the key is
 pressed
 - Execution of Major, Minor and 7 Chords by
 pressing only one key
 - 7 octaves can be selected

 Information about the programmer :
 Mauricio Antunes Oliveira is a Programmer/Analyst
 and a Microsoft
 Certified
 Professional (MCP) in Visual Basic since 1999.
 Currently, works as a
 consulter in São Paulo with Analysis and
 Programming.


 If you want any aditional information about the
 program before download
 it,
 you can contact me here, or e-mail me :

 Thanks for your interest !

Hi, I figured out some of them. I couldn't seem to
read the help files with anything other than the mouse
so I lost pacience with them and just doodled around.
f 3 takes you down an octave at a time, f4 goes up. F5
goes down  the list of instruments 1 by 1,
f6 goes up. F7 goes down the list of instruments every
eighth 1, f8 goes up by eights. F9 and 10 pan, don't
recall which is which, f 11 go up and down channels,
channel 10 has the drums. Not sure but I think f 1 and
2 set your voices up and down. Guess the edit box is
for setting volume but I didn't play with that. Wish I
had a txt of that help file.
A lot of words I don't know and it's easier to look
them up when I can select cut and paste.

what's happening with Sound Forge?

2004-11-05 Thread Chrissie
Hi Folks

I've a bit of a question for those with good technical knowledge.  It's a
bit convoluted but I'll try and be as brief as I can.

The system is windows 2000 on a 2.8 ghz machine:   it's a laptop with two
sound cards, one internal, and one pcmcia Echo Indigo card.  I also use a 16
channel mixing desk into the pcmcia sound card.  I use this for broadcasting
on ACB Radio with the sounds and multi media control set to the pcmcia card,
although I don't have it set to only use this preferred device.  For
broadcasting all is absolutely fine.  Also for Skype, I use the microphone
through the desk and that is absolutely fine as well.  However, when it
comes to Sound Forge and in fact Cool Edit as well, neither programme seem
to see the sound card in terms of recording, although for playback both work
fine.  if I play something like a minidisk through the desk, the sound comes
through my speakers okay, but the meters on both Sound Forge and Cool Edit
don't register a thing.  I have been into the Sound Forge and cool Edit
preferences, both record and playback, and tried both Microsoft Sound mapper
and the pcmcia card but neither seem to show it.  Now here comes the
interesting bit.  If i, for example play something via Winamp set to the
pcmcia card, Sound Forge doesn't see it, however, if I take a cable from the
output of the sound card - to the input of the same card, and keep the
volume level down, then Sound Forge sees it just fine and I can record and
normalise afterwards.  I've checked in sounds and multi-media and nothing is
muted that shouldn't be on the pcmcia card.

If I then try to use, within sounds and multi-media, the internal card,
setting everything to that, and then put a signal into the pcmcia card via
the desk, Sound Forge sees it just fine.  Can anyone explain why, if Sound
Forge is set to the pcmcia card, or to the Microsoft Sound mapper, when
sounds and multi-media main controls are set to the pcmcia card, I can't
record with it.

I do hope this makes sense and sorry it's a bit convoluted but it's baffling
me totally.  Okay, I could and can set the sounds and multi-media to the
internal card, but I don't like the idea of switching back and forth as I
know I'm going to get it wrong one day when I'm broadcasting, and anyway
shouldn't sound Forge see the card from the point of view of recording, if
it's preferences are set to that card?

Again, I do hope this makes sense to someone.

many thanks for any help.

Do you have any software that uses the soundcard in the background? I

soundforge can't record from that card and when you switch to the internal

 Forge is set to the pcmcia card, or to the Microsoft Sound
 mapper, when
 sounds and multi-media main controls are set to the pcmcia
 card, I can't
 record with it.

 I do hope this makes sense and sorry it's a bit convoluted
 but it's baffling
 me totally.  Okay, I could and can set the sounds and
 multi-media to the
 internal card, but I don't like the idea of switching back
 and forth as I
 know I'm going to get it wrong one day when I'm broadcasting,
 and anyway
 shouldn't sound Forge see the card from the point of view of
 recording, if
 it's preferences are set to that card?

 Again, I do hope this makes sense to someone.

 many thanks for any help.

 Chrissie

Hello, I downloaded the software from the web site, and it's not accessible,
which is too bad, or I would have ordered one of these.
Thanks a lot.

nero question.

2004-11-05 Thread Cheryl
hi, everyone. hope someone can help me. I bought an external cd burner ages 
ago, and it came with nero burning rom. Anyway, I thought I'd install nero 
on this computer, see what it's like. my setup is: windows xp home, sp1, 
jaws 5.10.350. I have nero version 5.5.5.1. is this the correct version to 
use with the setup I've described? is there an update I need to download? 
Plus, any help with using the program is greatly appreciated, I've used 
easy cd creator for about two years, but thought I'd at least try nero, see 
what it's like.
Thanks for any and all help. You can reply off list if you prefer.
Cheryl

Hi Mike and all.  Go to tools, options.  Press Control+tab until you hear 
Security.  Then tab to the check box that says something like do not open 
attachments that might cause harm to your computer.  By default, that box 
is checked.  Uncheck it, tab to the apply button and hit it, then press ok. 
You should be able to recieve and see all attachments from then on.  Cheers!

No they were not.  I have received many files from this
sender, but this is the first time I've had this problem.  The message 
says attachment, but there's no file, when I go to look for it.

Hey Mike, were the files sent from users of AOL servers?
I have the same problem  they're all from people using AOL.
Don't know what the solution is.

Hi folks!  Using windows XP SP2, and I think my problem has something to 
do
with that.  someone has sent me a couple of attachments, but I can't see
them.  The message says there's an attached file, but when I open the
message up, no file found.  I don't see it.  This is aggravating.  Any
suggestions!

Need reccomendations on boomboxes

2004-11-05 Thread TerriStimmel
Hello everyone,
Recently, my boombox took a fall, and in the fall the door to my CD player
came off.  And I can't get the tape deck to record from the radio anymore,
though all other functions of the tape deck still work.
So I am now trying to find a new one.
I've looked at some at Wal-mart and Target, and I'm really not that happy
with how most of them look, or how they are set up.  I hate that everything
is so digital now.
I bought a Sony one, but I'm not that pleased with it and I'm planning to
take it back.
The cd player and tape deck are nice, though the tape deck is set up
backward.
But my main dislike with it, is that it's not the easiest thing to figure
out.
But also, the stations don't seem to come in that well.
On my old analog boombox, which I got about 1997, or 1998, was wonderful.
It picked up stations well, and it had good base to it.
Although, over the years, it seemed to lose a bit of sound quality, and I
noticed that the tape deck was starting to make a bit more noise than it
used to.
But other than that, it was great.
I believe it was either made by Philips, or Magnavox.  But I'm not real
sure.
I'd like a boombox that will work just as well.  But I don't want one that
uses menus, if possible.  Nor do I want it to have a clock, as that's just
useless.
I'm looking for one that will have a good quality tape deck in it.  One that
will sound good, whether you are recording from the radio, or a cd.
I want one that has good sound quality, and that can pick up FM stations
well.
I want it to have a nice and simple cd player, not one that can do 100
things.  Although, if I could be able to record from cd, to tape, then that
would be nice.
I'm not looking for something that's going to be real expensive, as I just
couldn't afford that.
But something around $100, on down, won't be too bad.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm not looking to buy one online, because I want to be able to go and look
at it, and listen to it if possible.
Any thoughts on this will be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Terri

Hey Denny, I do the same thing, copy lp's  old open reel  cassettes into
my pc.
The lp's never sounded so good.
Doesn't seem to matter which software I use to copy, the audio is greatly
enhanced  plays from the pc crystal clear. It does seem to matter which
software I use to play them back from the pc, Winamp gives the best 
playback
sound, especially on the bass, giving a more natural bass whereas some 
other
softwares give more of a thumping bass rather than the pure bass tones.
Even the old mono lp's get enhanced sound, this is true even of some old
lp's from the 40's.
Thanks, Harry Bassler

John and list,
That was an interesting article.  I'm one of those guys that has many
45s and 12 inch singles.  Of course I've got cds too.  The frequency
response on the records is incredible.  That's providing you keep the
records in mint condition.  I get requests from friends for certain songs
such as Maroon 5, as well as older artists.  I record the 45s on to the
computer, and put them on cds for them.  Yes, current songs are still
available on vinyl.  As for the tapes, if you were able to get the metal
ones, those sounded really good.  Talk to you guys later.
Denny

2004-11-05 Thread Brian Olesen
HI,
Well I think this device is far too limited.
No dolby no crom support and so on.
I guess you'll be doing better with a more pro tape deck and a good quality 
sound card.

Just my two cents.
Best regards
Brian
