Re: MP3 Directcut

2007-08-13 Thread Kelly Pierce
Mike,

don't give up just yet.  I had the same feeling once until I realized that 
new Windows installs mute nearly all the recording inputs.  make sure you 
are looking at the recording properties in volume control rather than the 
playback properties.  also, make sure your line in jacks and microphone are 
unmuted.  On most Windows machines, you can only select the line in or 
microphone for recording but not both at the same time.  Be sure the jack 
you are recording from is unmuted and selected.

 Kelly

 All 5 recording settingsfound under sndvol32 are at 100 levels where 500 
 =
 no sound and 0 = max; so that would appear ok.
 Your mentioning of other recording programs had me test Audacity;
 guess what, no sound either.
 So this would suggest

 that the culprit is not mp3 Directcut.

 BTW, podcasts and internet streaming play fine; and, I, out of sheer
 curiosity, took one of the recorded files and attempted to listen to them
 on another machine.

 Is this problem resolvable; or am I best just forgetting about ever using
 this notebook for recording streams and the like.

 



 Have you successfully made recordings using other programs with this
 laptop?  Also, have you checked the appropiate volume settings in
 Windows volume controll?

 Hi Brian, I've owned Total Recorder since it first came out, I think at
 least a decade ago now, but I think Replay A/V is better for what you're
 wanting to do in this case. Chris's message was very thorough and
 detailed.
 Replay A/V has become one of my most essential audio-related pieces of
 software. Not only do I use it to record from a vast variety of streams
 and
 streaming formats, but it also works as a very convenient tuner. In this
 way, you don't have to worry about whether the stream is a Real, WM, or
 MP3
 one. Just add it to Replay A/V, locate it in the listview, and press
 control+T. It will also record from TV tuner cards, and as Chris said, 
 the
 URL finder is a fantastic tool for when you want to get a stream that is
 imbedded on a web page to come up in a stand-alone player. I use it to
 tune
 into streams from the online versions of XM and Sirius, all of which are
 now
 in my list of stations so I can get at them automatically because it 
 will
 log me onto those services.

 While you can indeed convert the stream to the format of your choice, 
 you
 can also just dump the stream to your hard drive. For example, I record 
 a
 lot of BBC material and play it using realOne Player on my PAC Mate.

 The Aplian people have been most responsive to accessibility issues and 
 I
 can't speak highly enough of this software.

Re: Ripping Music with WMP11

2007-06-26 Thread Kelly Pierce
I just installed Exact Audio copy for the first time today.  The program is 
a geek's paradise, but once thoroughly configured and tweaked, the rips 
really sound good.  I'm using the latest LAME compression with 256 VBR 
joint stereo.  When I played the sample rips through my Audiophile 2496 
sound card in Winamp in 24 bit mode through my Logitech Z-2300 2.1 Speaker 
System, which is 200 watts and THX certified, it sounded like a mini 
concert right in front of me!   I doubt seriously that Microsoft can match 
the finely tuned LAMED presets created after thousands of hours of trial 
and error from a bevy of developers around the world.

Why settle for any MP3 extraction when you can have an exact audio copy?

The program has some keyboard shortcuts and it is nearly fully accessible. 
What is not easily accessible are tooltips in configuration dialogues, 
which mostly can be accessed with a review cursor or an online tutorial.

One way around this is to convert to MP3 using Sound Taxi and then 
transferring the MP3 file.  You could also burn each part to an audio CD 
and then rip the CD to an MP3 file.

 Hello, list,

 I have recently begun downloading and listening to Overdrive books
 through my local talking book library. I was under the impression
 that the 2 week check out time limit did not apply to placing a book
 on a player with a WMA DRM license. However, I have found that the
 Overdrive Console is the only way to transfer a book's files to an
 MP3 player and it, too, tracks the experation date.
 So, is there a way around this or was I mistaken about no time limit
 for transfering?

I was wondering the same thing.  I subscribe to the company's RSS feed on 
product updates and there hasn't been a new post for about a week.  It is a 
little frustrating waiting for the bug fix because every time I start the 
program, I get a nag notice to upgrade my version, even though I have 
selected no on numerous times.  then when my stream recording is finished, I 
get another nag notice to upgrade to the latest version.  No conversion 
happens until this question is answered so my work is interrupted to answer 
these same questions day after day.

Other programs can take no for an answer.  Why can't this one?

Re: program to record vidio and audio

2006-11-24 Thread Kelly Pierce
Google video and You tube use flash to play the videos.  Flash movies can be 
stream captured with various stream capturing software.  I used Replay A/v. 
The program was still capturing after two hours and ten minutes.  by that 
time, the file size was nearly 400 megabytes. I stopped the capturing at 
that point.  What was captured played in a Flash player in a box the size of 
the palm of your hand just like on Google video.

Why not just buy the DVD of the video and make copies?  It would be a hell 
of a lot easier than capturing a huge file so people can play it on 
one-eighth of their computer screen.  with a regular DVD, it can be viewed 
on a standard DVD player in full screen on the living room TV quite 
comfortably.

 Hi Listers,

 First of all, happy turkey day to those who observe it.  I
 hope to put on a pound or two (lol).

 I'd like to know what would be a good choice of software to
 accomplish the following:

 There is a two hour vidio documentary regarding 911 and world
 globalist efforts to control the population and to doop us into
 believing all is well.  You can find it by going to google.com and
 putting the term terrorstorm into the search box.  The third link
 that comes up in the results is a vidio documentary by Alex Jones,
 approximately two hours long, which is both intreguing and very
 scarey.  I listened to the audio of it, and used total recorder to
 record the audio.  I wish to recommend, to my friends with broadband,
 to view it.  I'd also like to know if I can record it, audio and
 vidio, to make dvd's for those who I know do not have
 broadband.  Which software would allow me to do this, hopefully
 free?  If anyone has ideas, please let me know.  If anyone does
 listen to the audio and wishes to discuss what they've heard, please
 write me off list at:

 This is not the place for political discusssion, so I hope I've not

Re: RFBD CD portable Players and software

2006-11-05 Thread Kelly Pierce
A couple of weeks ago, I spoke to the director of the RFB studio here in 
Chicago about DAISY players.  The studio has an extensive outreach effort 
with folks going to schools and meeting with borrowers throughout the 
Chicago area and Midwest.  The Telex Scholar has its buttons arranged in a 
circular manner.  Many blind end users I am told do not like it and find it 
troublesome to use.  The buttons are not easily identified tactily and they 
have multiple functions.  Most blind users prefer units, based on extensive 
interviews with teachers and print-impaired end users, that have a 
telephone-style keypad rather than one arranged in a circle.

For what it is worth, I considered my options this past month in choosing 
one of these units.  My CD/Mp3 player no longer played MP3's and appeared on 
its last legs.  I had the unit just about 18 months, listening to it about 
15 hours a week.  I agonized over the issue because I recognized that the CD 
at this point is a transitional technology.  Its days are numbered and I 
don't want to be holding the bag.  Also, CD players are mechanical devices 
and may not be as durable as solid state devices with no moving parts.  I 
bristled over the prospect of chucking a pricy DAISY player every 18 months.

I ended up choosing the Bookport.  To my knowledge it is the only solid 
state device that can play the DAISY CD books from RFB.  I believe the 
Bookport will have a longer lifespan than a CD player with none of the 
problems of fingerprints or scratches that plague the use of CD's.  Further, 
the Bookport represents a total and complete portable media access device. 
In addition to playing DAISY books, it plays MP3 files and reds text files 
with a built in speech synthesizer.

Wile the Bookport sports a higher price tag than most of the portable DAISY 
CD players, the added durability and functionality turn the price into a 
extremely fair value.

 When you find it, you have to roll back to Windowsmedia 9 series, and then

 After a brief delay, Microsoft on Monday made available Windows Media
 Player version
 11. The update includes several enhancements, including a new user
 interface, improved
 syncing, and integration with the URGE music service.

 Windows Media Player 11 has been publicly available as a beta
 download since May
 of this year. However, issues with the quality of the release caused
 Microsoft to
 delay the final product while last minute bugs are ironed out. WMP11
 works on Windows

Re: download url for lame

I had to find this so I could fully use MP3 Direct Cut. I ended up doing a 
google search for lame codec and eventually found it.  Try doing the same 
process and I am sure you will have it.  I have now saved and backed the 
file up on my computer so I won't need to do this again.

Re: mp3 cds vs data cds

2006-09-27 Thread Kelly Pierce
Denny,

Check your manual but it is possible to make a regular audio cd, playable in 
any CD player, from a bunch of MP3s.  the only catch is that they need to be 
less than 76 minutes to comport with the Red Book CD standard or less than 
80 minutes for nearly all blanks these days.  simply copying MP3s as files 
to a blank CD is creating a data CD, even though you can play the MP3's as 
audio files.

I have found that CD MP3 players will play all bit rates with the only 
exception being some of the lowest bitrates, which does not apply to your 
situation.  Encoding preferences are a matter of personal preference and how 
golden your ears are.  I recently switched from encoding at 192 bit full 
stereo highest quality to 256 full stereo highest quality.  it is more disc 
space, twice the amount of a 128 bit encoding project, but great sound and 
quality.  with storage so cheap and plentiful these days the extra space is 
not an issue for me.

Is there a difference between data cds and mp3 cds? What I'm trying to 
 do is to put many mp3s on a cd and have my friend play them back in his 
 mp3 cd player.  I have each option as a separate option on easy cd

Why the iPod is losing its cool

Apple has added ever more extras to its digital music-player in a bid
to stem falling sales. But fears are rising that the device is now too
common to be cutting edge

David Smith, technology correspondent



The Mermaid, Puddle Dock, is not the first place you might go in
search of the cool and cutting edge. That will not stop an expectant crowd
gathering at the conference centre in London's Blackfriars this week for a
live satellite broadcast from San Francisco that could make or break one
of the consumer icons of the Western world.

The iPod, the digital music player beloved of everyone from Coldplay's
Chris Martin to President George Bush, is in danger of losing its sheen.
Sales are declining at an unprecedented rate. Industry experts talk of a
'backlash' and of the iPod 'wilting away before our eyes'. Most
disastrously, Apple's signature pocket device with white earphones may
simply have become too common to be cool.

On Tuesday the eyes of iPod-lovers the world over will be on Steve
Jobs, the co-founder and chief executive of Apple, when he seeks to allay
fears that it could follow Sony's tape-playing Walkman into the recycling
bin of history.

Jobs is widely expected to announce the most ambitious iPod service
yet - the sale of feature-length films via the internet for viewing on the
devices, which may receive an expanded 'widescreen' and improved storage
capacity. If downloading movies from a computer to an iPod proves even
half as revolutionary as it did for music, the multibillion-pound DVD
industry could be quaking. There are rumours that Jobs will also announce
a long expected 'iPhone', combining the music function and sleek style of
an iPod with a mobile phone.

Industry-watchers warn that the iPod could soon be regarded by teenage
cynics as their 'parents' player' because a mass-market product rarely
equates with edgy fashionability. Although it has sold nearly 60 million
actual iPods and a billion downloaded songs worldwide, cracks have begun
to appear in the edifice. The Zandl Group, a New York-based trends
forecaster which regularly interviews a panel of 3,000 consumers aged
25-35, recently picked up its first significant criticisms. 'The iPod is
far and away the most popular tech gadget with our panellists - however,
for the first time we are hearing negative feedback about the iPod from
some panellists,' said the organisation's

Re: Why the iPod is losing its cool

2006-09-11 Thread Kelly Pierce
And who is responsible for that?  the Washington Post in an article on new 
year's eve says the tag team of Republican Congressman Tom Delay and 
Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff
 bought off local elected officials and blocked efforts in congress to 
investigate the matter or impose tougher labor standards and human rights 
enforcement.  The republican party has also stood in the way.  The 
Republican Chairman of the House resource committee has blocked hearings and 
investigations on the Mariana situation requested by Congressman George 
Miller of California.  the excerpt and link to the story is below.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/30/AR2005123001480_pf.html

In addition to the million-dollar payment involving the London law firm, for 
example, half a million dollars was donated to the U.S. Family Network by 
the
owners of textile companies in the Mariana Islands in the Pacific, according 
to the tax records. The textile owners -- with Abramoff's help -- solicited
and received DeLay's public commitment to block legislation that would boost 
their labor costs, according to Abramoff associates, one of the owners and
a DeLay speech in 1997.

Didn't the bastards force the blank cassette companies to slap on a copying 
surcharge to blank cassettes?  Fortunately, the insane policy wasn't forced 
on the computer industry, who has the bucks to forcefully make the case that 
the bulk of blank CD's and DVD's are used for legal purposes.  Hence, the 
blank media surcharge is not really compensation but a property taking or

 I  am wondering if anyone has had experience with any high end digital

 I have a Marantz PMD690 which has been discontinued. It only lasts about
 1-1/2 hours on batteries and is difficult to use if you can't read the
 display.
 I'm looking for a broadcast quality stereo portable recorder that ideally
 would not require bulky XLR jacks. Marrantz now has the PMD660 and PMD670
 that are stereo and small but I don't want to spend big bucks again with 
 out
 knowing more about their accessibility.
 Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

the model with a remote control, which attaches to the unit via an included
cable.  I'm glad I did.  the unit I have has buttons flush with the unit and 
they are arranged in a circle.  The remote control has tactile controls and 
a big multi-function button that took me about a week to figure out its 
sensitivity and where to locate my thumb to initiate a desired action.


The unit also has a graphic equalizer and a few other graphical menu based 
features, which really only need to be set once by a sighted person.  All 
the functions I need are available from the remote control.

Tim, iRiver has stopped producing MP3 CD players recently. IMHO, they
made the best ones, because they can remember the stop position of the
last ten CDs. You could try to get one at Ebay. The best MP3 Cd players,
currently manufactured IMHO are the ones from Sony. I know the D-NE320
and I like it quite well. It can only remember the stop position of the
CD currently in it.

Podcasting Seminar

2005-07-11 Thread Kelly Pierce


Chicago adaptive technology specialist Dave Porter will present an online
interactive voice chat seminar on podcasting on Saturday July 16 from 9-30
until noon Chicago time in the central time zone in the United States.
(14:30 to 17:00 Universal Time)

The interactive voice chat seminar will discuss what is a podcast and why it

the premium player is not too blind friendly.  The best approach is to 
listen to Live365 stations in winamp.  the stations can be bookmarked in 
winamp.  if you want to see track listings, you can launch the regular 
player for the display of the playlist and listen in winamp, which offers 
adjustable volume independent of other applications, like JAWS.

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats

2005-05-07 Thread Kelly Pierce
the options you mentioned with Windows media ripping are also available in 
ripping MP3s with CDEX.  remember it is in Microsoft's interest to make 
windows Media appear to be a much more attractive experience than the 
infinitely portable and compatible MP3 format.  With MP3 encoding, files can 
be encoded on various levels of quality, with fixed or variable bit rates in 
full stereo.

One thing to consider is the likelihood that the files you rip can be played 
on other people's computers with different kinds and versions of software 
and on portable devices in the present and future.  many CD players can play 
MP3 files but only a fraction of these can also play Windows Media files. 
to verify this, just go to bestbuy.com and review the portable CD players 
available for sale.  Most play MP3 files but only one can also play windows 
Media files as well.

I encode most of the music I rip in MP3 at 256 bit in full stereo at the 
very highest quality.

Subject: Understanding and comparing compression formats


I've just been learning how to rip music from CDs to my hard drive using
several different programs, and the one that interests me most at present 
is
Windows Media Player because of the variety of formats it offers.

As I explore and test these formats, one thing confuses me:  You can rip
Windows Media Audio files about six different ways, not counting the
lossless option.  Now, I'm aware that .mp3 ripping can be adjusted to use
bit rates higher than the default 128 in order to restore a little of the
information that a lower bit rate strips out.
but understanding that is simple compared to the range of .wma options.
Here's the main thing that puzzles me.  In the WMP menu for setting your 
rip
options, there are *two* sets of .wma options, each with its own range of
sound quality level.

First is the .wma choice that uses a slider to provide you with,as I 
recall,
three levels of sound quality.  I've ripped the same track with all three,
and not only listened to them-- the differences are audible to me, 
although
pretty subtle compared to the difference between any of them and a less
compressed lossless or uncompress .wav version.  Still, for saving space, 
I
appreciate the compression, so I remain interested.

Okay.  So the smallest .wma sound quality level creates a really small 
file,
much smaller than the same tune ripped to .mp3.  And it doesn't sound any
worse than the .mp3, was my impression.  The next higher levels create
larger files, with the highest quality level creating a file for any given
track that's about the same size as a 192 bit rate .mp3.  If I go this 
way,
I'd suppose that's the method I'd use, so you get a little better sound
quality than an .mp3 for the same file size.

But then, right beneath this on that menu, there's a variable bit rate 
.wma
option, again set by a slider, but this time starting at 0 per cent and
going up.  Zero per cent of what?  And, more to the point, if this has to 
do
with changing bit rates (doesn't the other method, I wonder?  How else 
would
you change quality except by varying the bit rate?) where are the
indications for *what* bit rate this slider takes you through?

So that's it.  I'm really wondering about this stuff as I try to settle on 
a
preferred rip method to set for my usual use.  Does anyone understand
whatever it is I'm not getting about these two adjustable .ma formats?  Is
there anywhere to read a simple primer about them?  I don't feel the need 
to
do research if someone can just explain what it is I'm not understanding.
But just in case there's some online information about this that would
clarify it all, that would be fine, too.

Thanks,
Daniel

There is indeed.  I haven't tried it yet though.  I will probably start 
trying and installing things once I finish my cassette digitization project 
in a month or two.  I do one side of a cassette a day as a real time 
transfer is required.  I carefully analyze each tape or tape series and set 
appropriate recording levels so to avoid the pain in the ass calisthenics of 
re-setting audio properties, I'm waiting until later until my current 
project is finished before deciding on an optimal stream capture solution. 
After two tape failures in as many weeks, the cassette digitization project 
has increased urgency.

Re: recording problem in sound forge

2005-04-28 Thread Kelly Pierce
Kevin,
Thanks, that did it!  All I needed to do was uncheck the stereo mix checkbox 
and everything is back to normal.  for others with integrated sound cards 
wanting to know the exact issue and steps I took:

   when Replay Radio was installed, it essentially checked the checkbox
for either the stereo mix or the mono mix in the recording properties
dialogue. This has the effect of recording the entire speaker output when
making recordings using the line in input with other programs, such as the
Sound forge editing program.
   to fix this, I went to the recording properties dialogue
   programs/accessories/entertainment/volume
   and when I was in the volume control dialogue, I went to the menu and
selected properties. In this property sheet, I cursored down to recording
properties. the default is playback. I then tabbed to a list and selected
all items to display and then pressed the ok button. In the next property
sheet, I found that the stereo mix checkbox was checked. I had selected
stereo mix during installation of Replay radio. I suppose if someone chose
mono mix, that checkbox would have been checked instead. I made sure that
my line in checkbox was checked and unchecked all other boxes.
   presto, it worked!!! the downside is likely that one may need to
tinker with the property sheet when switching between Replay radio and
other programs that record sound, like sound forge. however, the two
programs can easily co-exist on the same computer.
lesson of the story: when in the middle of a project, even one that might 
last for weeks or months, don't install programs that preform a similar 
function on your computer.  these programs may change settings that the user 
is unaware of and will then need to painstaikenly track down and finely 
adjust to return to the previous settings that were working well.  Lesson 
lerned.

Kelly

I believe you can choose under settings in re-play radio whether you want 
the program to set the volume controls or not.  If you uncheck this, the 
volumes should remain where you had them set.  Also, you may have to check 
your settings to be sure the soundcard drivers and not replay-radio drivers 
are being used when you open sound forge.  This can be checked under the 
volume control, options, properties tab.  The optional esc driver replay 
radio offers may also be a part of the problem if you installed it.  It 
sometimes conflicts with other sound drivers.  RD

yesterday I downloaded the stream capture and recording program replay 
radio.  it was surprisingly accessible and easy to use and install.  My 
horror of horrors arrived today when I tried to continue my cassette 
digitization project using Sound forge and my line in jack.  My finely tuned 
volume level is way out of wack.  worse yet, it seems that replay radio has 
mess up with the sound card.  Now sound forge records everything played 
through my computer speakers, including JAWS and the speech synthesizer and 
windows Sounds.  it did not do this before.  Is this typical with programs 
like replay Radio and total recorder and others?  Can the two types of 
programs co-exist on one system along with a soft synth?  how can I get 
things back to the way they were?

I have a RealTek AC97 Audio imbedded sound card using windows XP home with 
JAWS 6.0 and sound Forge 5.0.

Re: searching titles and artists of mp3s on your hard disk

2005-03-10 Thread Kelly Pierce
with Mac, there is no need to manually enter files into the database.  Mac 
can search any drive, including CD or DVD drives, folder, or directory, and 
catalog all the audio files in there.  Cataloging is nearly effortless.

Hi Peter.
I use a program called Audigen to catalogue all of my MP3 and WMA music.
you simply copy and paste your music files into the database from anywhere
on your computer, they could be held on different drives or even an 
external
drive, and you are then able to browse by artist, album, genre or all 
tracks
in a windows explorer interface in a single database.  If you prefer you 
can
use a web browser style interface that will present the same database in a
web page with links for the categories.  You can do simple and complex
searches.  For example, a simple search will fetch back perhaps all 
artists
and albums and tracks with the word Black in them.  A complex search 
could
be something along the lines of selecting all tracks with the word black 
in
the track name only where the year is 1979 and the bit rate is greater 
than
or equal to 192kbps.

Another feature of audigen is that you can create a web server so that you
can play or download your music from any computer with an internet
connection and all functions are available in the same way.  You can 
control
who signs onto your server by setting up user names and passwords.

This software cost me $17 and it's the best software buy I've ever made.
The program is produced by red chair software so anyone familiar with 
notmad
explorer or annipod explorer will be completely familiar with the 
interface.

For those of you in the UK, I've written an article on Audigen that will
appear in this month's Access IT magazine but if anyone would like further
information, please contact me off list.

Computer, microphone, iPod make broadcasting personal

2005-02-18 Thread Kelly Pierce
I just ran across this article about the latest computer audio trend: 
podcasting.  One of the celebrities of the podcasting world is former MTV 
veejay Adam Curry whose audio postings can be found at curry.com

Kelly

The Boston Globe
December 20, 2004

   Computer, microphone, iPod make broadcasting personal
   By Peter J. Howe,
Globe Staff
   Richie Carey has heard the future of radio. It's on an iPod music
player.
   Carey, a 38-year-old website developer and marketing consultant from
Sandwich, is among an early wave of fans for a new broadcast medium dubbed
''podcasting -- audio content that listeners download from websites to
iPods or similar digital music player devices.
   ''I can subscribe to custom-made audio that is whatever I want to
hear, and that's powerful stuff in my mind, Carey said. ''I'm really in
love with the technology of it.
   So much so that Carey is not just a daily consumer of podcasted talk
shows about technology and politics but a fledgling podcaster himself. He
has a regular audience of about 50 people who download his ''definitely
not polished spoken musings about life, personal electronics, and even
the importance of getting your brakes checked -- a ''podcast he made and
instantly posted from his cellphone while sitting outside the Sears repair
shop one day recently.
   ''This is technology that gives me a voice I never had a month ago,
Carey said. ''It's amazing how someone can now make a cellphone call that
can be heard all around the world.
   If Internet-based weblogs turned everyone into a potential newspaper
columnist, and digital cameras let them become photojournalists,
podcasting is promising to let everyone with a microphone and a computer
become a radio commentator.
   A key factor driving the blossoming trend is the booming sales of
Apple's iPod music devices. Financial analysts expect Apple to sell more
than 4 million units during the three months ending with Christmas, double
the rate of sales just three months earlier.
   Many retailers are calling the iPod this year's must-have gift craze
like Cabbage Patch dolls or the Rubik's Cube from decades past. Nearly 6
million iPods have been sold globally, and they account for nearly 90
percent of the market for portable digital music players that work off a
computer-chip memory.
   Two other geek-speak trends, weblogs and TiVo, also help explain the
podcasting phenomenon. Like weblogs, anything-goes Web pages in which
bloggers post observations and links to pages they recommend, podcasts are
a vehicle for delivering highly specialized, eclectic content to narrow
audiences. Like weblogs, many sound more like a heart-to-heart
conversation -- or rant -- than a radio broadcast.
   Podcasts have also been called ''TiVo for radio, referring to the
TiVo digital video recording boxes that let people record hours' worth of
television broadcasts to watch later when they want, and with the benefit
of a fast-forward button, too.
   A podcast clearinghouse called iPodderx.com now typically offers 900
to 1,700 podcasts each day, ranging from news on God to information about
sex, vegan diets, and music from obscure amateur artists.
   A heavy focus is chat about information technology and computers,
including ''Tech Chick Weekly, offering ''a female perspective on geek
issues. Many podcasts are largely aural recreations of conventional
weblogs by the bloggers themselves.
   ''The cool thing about podcasts is I listen to them when I want to,
said Steve Garfield, 46, a video producer and editor from Jamaica Plain
who has tuned into a podcast called ''Trade Secrets since it went live on
Sept. 1. The show is co-produced by Adam Curry, a former host on the MTV
music video channel, and Dave Winer, a software developer who has produced
a Google-style search engine called iPodder. Winer's service not only
tracks down podcasts, it arranges for new ones to be automatically
syndicated to listeners' devices, which can just as easily be personal
computers as iPods.
   Garfield loves loading up his iPod, before taking a long walk around
Jamaica Pond, with the latest edition of ''The Dawn and Drew Show, the
real-life and often off-color bantering of a husband and wife in rural
Wisconsin. He also likes downloading one of the few mass-market shows now
being podcast, ''Morning Stories on Boston's WGBH-FM public radio
station.
   The podcast version of ''Morning Stories, five-minute human-interest
segments, has posted numbers that people in the radio business would envy.
   In the past two months, the audience for the podcast segments of the
show has grown 12,000-fold, from a grand total of five downloads for the
entire month of September to 60,000 in November, according to producer
Tony Kahn.
   As a public station that doesn't have ads to skip, WGBH has nothing to
lose by making broadcasts available for free. Bob Lyons, director of radio
and new media initiatives for WGBH, said that technologically, ''it's
trivial to reformat a broadcast for 

Re: Minidisk Vs. Mp3

2005-02-07 Thread Kelly Pierce
Probably both.  the recorder from the guy from the radio station had a two 
gigabyte memory card.  If uncompressed audio on the machine is encoded at 
about 700 bits, as it is with .wav files, then the two gigabyte cards on 
this machine will hold about 5.5 hours, which is what he described as their 
recording capacity.  As a professional recordist, he was only interested in 
creating .wav files.  I suspect when these devices leave the pro domain and 
become mass market items some may offer mp3 recording.  however, editing 
.wav files is far preferable than an mp3.

Andy,
I bought my MZ-b100 last year and I have never regretted it.  the next 
generation of technology will be recording on solid state memory cards. 
the audio files created on these cards can be transferred directly to a 
computer and played, like other digital audio files.  no more real time 
transfers.  I was at an event recording and next to me was a guy from one 
of the local radio stations also recording.  he said that his machine 
recorded on to gigabyte flash memory cards and provided about five hours 
of recording on each card.  I learned later that the price for such a 
recorder is about three or so times the price of the MZ-b100.

eventually, the price will come down on the solid state flash  recorders, 
obviating the need for the minidisk recorders.  However, minidisc is 
still the most cost effective solution I have found at this time. 
Unfortunately, we are at the edge of a transition but the market hasn't 
fully turned yet.

Hello Andy,
I have used the Sony ICD P28, which is a digital recorder. It was about 
$100 over here. I am totally blind and can use it without problems. It 
has a USB port.
You can also change certain settings, like the record quality, from 
within the software that comes with the unit.

This particular model does not record things in stereo, but it sounds 
like it could work for what you need. I have heard that other Sony ICD

Good luck,

MPAA ally plants malware on PCs deliberately

   Risk Your PC's Health for a Song? 
   
   Ads and adware have a new way to get on your computer--through files 
that appear to be music and video. 
   
   by Andrew Brandt and Eric Dahl, PCWorld.com 
   
   Think you're downloading a new song or video? Watch out--that file may 
be stuffed with pop-ups and adware. 
   
   PC World has learned that some Windows Media files on peer-to-peer 
networks such as Kazaa contain code that can spawn a string of pop-up ads 
and install adware. They look just like regular songs or short videos in 
Windows Media format, but launch ads instead of media clips. 
   
   When we ran the files, we noted over half a dozen pop-ups, some 
attempts to download adware onto our test PC, and an attempt to hijack our 
browser's home page. However, you can take steps to guard your PC against 
this ad invasion. 
   
   Off-Key Experience 
   
   A reader initially alerted PC World to an ad-laden Windows Media Audio 
file, titled Alicia Keys Fallin' Songs In A Minor 4.wma. We then found 
two other WMA files and two Windows Media Video files that had been 
similarly modified. 
   
   Using a packet analysis tool called Etherpeek, we determined that each 
media file loaded a page served by a company called Overpeer (owned by 
Loudeye). That page set off a chain of events that led to the creation of 
several Internet Explorer windows, each containing a different ad or 
adware. 
   
   Overpeer first made news in mid-2002 by offering its services to 
record companies looking to stop P-to-P pirates. It creates fake audio 
files that purport to be popular songs but play only a short loop of the 
track or an antipiracy message; the file then pops up a window offering 
the downloader a chance to buy the song. By flooding file-sharing services 
with spoofed files, Overpeer makes finding real music files more 
difficult. 
   
   Marc Morgenstern, Loudeye vice president and general manager of 
digital media asset protection, says the files we found come from a 
different division of the company--one that targets users with promotions 
or ads based on the keywords those users search for on P-to-P networks or 
in other venues. 
   
   Though the two businesses differ, the result is likely the same--a 
further reduction in the effectiveness of popular P-to-P networks. 
Morgenstern characterized Overpeer's actions as just deserts for people 
who illegally trade copyrighted works for free. Remember, the people who 
receive something like (the ad-laden media files), in some cases, were on 
P-to-P, and they were trying to get illicit files, he says. 
   
   Firms Surprised 
   
   PC World contacted Microsoft and the seven ad-serving companies whose 
ads popped up when we ran the Keys audio file. We're looking into exactly 
what's going on with this file and checking to see if this particular 
model is in keeping with the licensing terms for Windows Media [Digital 
Rights Management], says David Caulton, group product manager for 
Microsoft's Windows Digital Media Division. We wouldn't want to endorse 
anything that involved delivery of content that appears to be one thing, 
and then something else is delivered. 
   
   Only one of the advertising firms, Kanoodle, responded to us. 
Kanoodle stringently vets all prospective partners to determine in 
advance how they will distribute our sponsored links, Lance Podell, the 
company's president emailed PC World. As in this case, upon detecting or 
discovering any prohibited distribution activity, we eliminate it 
immediately. Indeed, Kanoodle's ads no longer appear when we relaunch the 
file. 
   
   DRM Loophole 
   
   A loophole in the Windows Media DRM process allows companies to create 
ersatz media files and link them to adware. Normally, when you download a 
protected Windows Media file, you also receive a license that lets you 
play it. According to Caulton, if Windows Media Player can't find a valid 
license on your PC, it checks in with a remote system running Microsoft's 
Windows Media DRM Server. 
   
   You'll rarely see that happen. Some files, though, are set up to ask 
you for information before playing. They do this by displaying a URL in a 
dialog box labeled License Acquisition. Normally that dialog box is used 
to check for a user name or offer a chance to purchase the file that's 
being played. 
   
   For example, a legitimate DRM-encrypted file might let you play it 
three times, then bring up a window asking if you want to buy it. Or a 
band might offer a song to you for free if you agreed to sign up for its 
mailing list or view a 15-second commercial. At least, that's the way it's 
supposed to work. 
   
   But since the license dialog box acts just like an 

Re: Live365 and having to register???

2004-12-20 Thread Kelly Pierce
yes, I think you described the current state of affairs.  to listen to 
Live365, one must register at the site, similar to registering at a 
newspaper website in order to read that particular paper.  when you 
register, you can choose the preferred media player to listen to Live 365 
stations, such as winamp.  once you register, Live 365 places a cookie on 
your computer so your registration information is obtained automatically.

some audio streams do this to track listenership, as royalty payments are 
based on how many listeners are listening to a particular song and how long 
they listen to the song.  We have bill Clinton to thank for this scheme as 
he signed the digital Millennium copyright Act.  also, aggregated listener 
information allows for better selling of airtime to advertisers.

Re: Saving a CD

Jim,
Why horse around with windows media Player when there is CDEX which does 
exactly what you want and is far easier to use and configure?

regarding windows media, is your default folder for ripped files in windows 
media the My Music folder?  have you tried changing this to another folder 
since this is no longer existent?  My hunch is that since the program 
doesn't find the folder in your hard drive as it is listed in its 
configuration it fails to execute as there is no specified folder in which 
to place the ripped files.  Try going to your recycle bin and restoring the 
folder.  If you don't want the files in it, delete them and try ripping 
again.

I was trying to wrip a CD to my My Music folder using Media Player.
I have Nero, but I don't know how to do it so that it also includes the

Anyway, something went awry and I ended up deleting that folder and wanted

only do a particular CD once, or once that CD has been wripped once, will it

this is how I got my Nero for free.  I bought a CD burner to install into my 
computer and Nero was included with it.

Hi,
Why don't you buy a quite new burner? Just check it's a retail burner and 
check if Nero is included. You can get a cool dvd burner for less then 100 
US $.

Best regards
Brian

Hi.  You could get Nero for around $60.  Also you can get something 
called
CD Creator from Premier Assistive Technologies.  Hope this helps.

Re: Best software to burn a cd

2004-10-24 Thread Kelly Pierce
do you have windows XP?  Cd burning software is included as part of the 
operating system as well as compiling an MP3 collection into an audio CD.  I 
do it all the time with my XP home.

Also, I don't have a Real Player subscription and have converted Mp3 
compilations and real Audio compilations to audio Cd's and have burned them 
successfully.  I like doing it through Windows better though.

Re: Downloading a file onto cd:

2004-10-20 Thread Kelly Pierce
with blank CD-R media, there is only one standard.  However, audio data can 
be saved in two ways on the disc: as computer files or as an audio CD that 
can be played in any CD player.  the latter option is useful if you are 
sending a copy of the program to someone and you are not sure if they are 
familiar with PC audio software or have it on their system for playback or 
to ensure that it can be played anywhere, including in a car.  No matter how 
the program is saved, it will have the same fidelity.  Remember though that 
if the program is saved as an audio CD, it must be no longer than 80 
minutes.

Hi guys
I have a radio broadcast file which I would like to put on cd. The only 
kind of cds I have are data cds and this does have lots of talking and 
music. Is it ok to use such a type of cd to do this or do I need to get 
music cds to do this?
Thanks.

Re: installing Radium codec in CDEX

2004-07-16 Thread Kelly Pierce
CDEX is a CD ripping program.  CDEX does not come with the Radium MP3 codec
installed.  One needs to download it separately from a source other than
CDEX and install it.  Radium is a hack of the Fraunhoffer codec.  In CDEX
with Radium installed, the end user can rip CD's and create an MP3 version
of the disc contents with the quality of the Frunhoffer codec, considered to
be the best.

 Subject: installing Radium codec in CDEX


 
  hello,
 
  I am using windows Xp.  I want to install the radium Mp3 codec but am
not
  sure how to do this with XP.  I am familiar with the process in Windows
 98.
  However, I can't find the list of codecs in XP in order to identify what
I
  actually have and to set codec priorities.  If someone who has installed
 the
  Radium codec in Windows XP and enabled it in CDEX could tell me how to
  accomplish this I would be highly appreciative.
