Re: CD Problem
Hi, It does sound like some kind of protection system. I'm not sure what method of protection would give this but I'm guessing it may be something called multi-session disc. I wouldn't know how to brake this protection but you could use a regular cd player with a sound card to record the tracks as wave or mp3 to your pc by connecting the output of your cd player to the input of your sound card and use an audio recorder program like audasity or sound forge. hth, John - Original Message - From: To: Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 8:28 PM Subject: CD Problem Hello A few years ago I purchased a set of 12 double disc albums called ClassicJazz from Time Life.

I’ve contacted Time Life and find the UK site no longer exists. Therefore I dealt with the US Company. The ClassicJazz series is no longer sold. I received a response to my email asking me to phone them. I replied saying I’m located in the Uk and have heard no more from them. I seem to remember Sony brought out an anti copying method which sound like what I’m experiencing here. I seem to also remember it was said you could break this protection by rubbing a felt tip pen round the edge of the disc. I’ve tried this to no avail. I could bring back a CD player into this room and fit it into the sound system just to play this one set of discs but I’d much rather have them all on my hard drive.

Equalizing an Existing mp3 File
I have just ripped some old, old open reel recordings to mp3 files. Some of the stuff would like less bass and/or more highs. I'm mainly using GoldWave for my editing. Question: Is there a way to change the Equalization of a file like you can change the volume using MP3Gain? I know I'll never get rid of the distortion but the stuff could sound better than it does.

re installing sound taxi
Hi list, i am having trouble with my sound taxi programme. i raised the subject with the technical staff of sound taxi, about losing words at the end of converted files. they then suggested that i upgraded to the latest version, which i thought was odd, as i only just bought sound taxi, and thought it was the latest version i had. anyway, i attempted to install the new version, and when i got the continue button, which should have taken me to the internet so that the programme would be activated, i found this button was disabled. under instructions from sound taxi, i downloaded the latest version, and went through the whole process again. the continue button was still disabled. i then report ed this to sound taxi, and decided to put in my origianal version. i was surprise to find that it also got stuck at the continue button. it was as if the programme couldn't go to the internet. you will all have had messages such as, this programme is trying to acceess the internet, and asking if you will allow it. i have had no message with regard to sound taxi. i am now stuck, as i have no version of taxi i can use. have any of you had this problem with regard to installing sound taxi. or do any of you know how i can check if sound taxi is blocked. i have reported all this to sound taxi, and am still waiting an answer from them. if i was a member of their technical staff, i would try installing sound taxi on one of their computers, using my personal code. well i will leave it there. if anyone has anything useful to offer, i would be glad to hear from them. as for me, i wish i hadn't got in to this trying to install an upgrade. for your interest, the version i am now trying to install is: 4.4.3 brian.
