Re: [Blind-Computing] internet radio
Hi there; I don't know which player you use to play your stations but I can tell you what I do and maybe you can do the same. I use winamp to play my stations; go ahead and play the station you want in winamp and when it is playing, bookmark it with alt control i; when you want to hear it in the future, go to your bookmarks in winamp and enter on that station and there it is. Hope this helps.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Best player for listening to books
You are just a dear for getting al that information for me and anyone else; thank you. I wonder why so many people have the stream and not the booksense; I read a lot of books that I get from the list and I'm assuming that the voice of the reader would be the one that reads the book when playing it on the stream; when you say that the synthesis is bad on the stream, just what would you rely on it to play on the stream. I hope this makes some kind of sense; Dan - Original Message - From: "Deanne Miller" To: Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 9:50 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Best player for listening to books Hi Dan: The BookSense comes in two models, I'm not sure of the prices, but I think the less expensive one is comparable to the VR Stream and the more expensive one is somewhere in the vicinity of $500. The more expensive model has an FM radio, as well as bluetooth capability, which means you won't have headphone wires hanging around and getting caught on things. I looked at the BookSense at the 2010 CSUN conference last March and it is shaped very much like a small flip-style cell phone. It's much smaller than the VR Stream, and would be easier to carry with you, especially if you like to hang your reader on your belt and move around while you listen. It also plays MS Word files, along with many other file formats. As far as the volume on the Stream: I own the Stream and have noticed that the volume is very low using the built in speakers, but with either headphones or external speakers plugged in, it goes substantially higher. Without anything plugged into the headphone jack, the volume level stops at 10; with headphones/speakers plugged in, it goes up to 15. I have had no trouble listening to NLS books, MP3 files, or text files this way. So the volume shouldn't be a problem if you use something besides the built-in speakers. Below are a couple of links to check out the specs on the BookSense, including an audio demonstration. http://www.gwmicro.com/Booksense/ http://access4.us/2010/03/booksenseaww/ Here are a couple of links with info about the VR Stream: http://www.humanware.com/en-usa/products/blindness/dtb_players/compact_models/why_choose_the_stream http://access4.us/2010/03/victorstreamaww/ HTH Deanne ----- Original Message - From: "Dan Mccurley" To: Sent: Sunday, October 17, 2010 11:09 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Best player for listening to books Hi; I, too, am struggling with which player to buy.

Now, arrow / highlight the item you want to delete, press your applications key/context menu key, arrow up to delete , & press enter.

Hey; sorry I didn't get back to you quicker; I have been messing with this question for the last couple of days, also; Here's what I have discovered. I use nero to burn my cds; when burning an audio cd after you have put together the file that you want to burn, press f7 and do jaws to pc then when you arrow up nero will tell you the size of the file in terms of minutes. When burning a data cd, like I said in the other email, you can put 702 mb on the cd; when you select a file that you want to burn, hit alt enter, then jaws to pc, arrow up until and nero will tell you how many mb that file is; all you have to do then is add up the number of mbs you have when the files and if it is 702 or less, it will all go on the data cd.

Over Ten Thousand Stations Document Source: Fred's Head from www.aph.org It's no secret that I love internet radio and streaming music over the web. I am still amazed that you can click a button and hear radio stations from the other side of the world. I've found another Windows only application that is screen reader-friendly and will tune into more than twelve thousand stations! If you can't find something to listen to, you're probably not looking hard enough. The following directions from the AccessContent Blog will have you listening in minutes! http://blog.accesscontent.ca/archive/2010/10/20/online-radio-revisited.aspx Launching Radio Sure: If you've been successful with the install, the program should launch automatically afterwards. An online radio station should start playing. First thing to do is stop the music and configure a few things. TAB through the screen until you hear play Button. Press the SPACEBAR and the stream will stop. TAB to options and press the SPACEBAR to activate the option pages. General Tab: Remember, you can move between the tab pages by pressing CONTROL+TAB. A few things you might consider modifying in the general tab. . Whether you want the program to start with windows. Don't see the advantage of this, as I'd rather control when it's playing. . Whether you want a stream to start playing when you launch the program. . And my favourite, Global hotkeys. I would urge you to enable this, as it then gives you the option of controlling RadioSure from anywhere. See "Global Hotkey List" at the bottom of this entry. . Minimize the program to the system tray is handy, as it takes it out of the way. You can summon it back to the foreground with one of the global hotkeys listed below. We will skip the Skins tab, as it makes no difference to screen readers. Recording Tab: Yes, you can record the streams with this program. One thing you might consider changing on this tab: . The recording folder. The default is to put it within a folder called music under the RadioSure program. You can point this folder to any folder of your choice with the unlabelled "browse" button. You can look around the other options on this tab at your leisure. The Advanced Tab: . You can choose your preferred audio device. Leave this one alone, unless you are having audio issues, or prefer to use a specific device. . I'd suggest checking the Always show station in the window title, so you can easily hear the station name by pressing INSERT+T withmost screen readers. . I'd uncheck Show pictures related to songs, but that's just personal preference. Press SPACEBAR on the "OK" button and the setup is complete. Yay! Let's start listening and finding radio stations.

Read it and weep: PALO ALTO, CA -Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March. Managing the site has become too stressful. "Facebook has gotten out of control," said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, "and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness." Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts. "After March 15th the whole website shuts down," said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. "So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You won't be able to get them back once Facebook goes out of business." Zuckerberg said that the decision to shut down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset. "I personally don't think it's a big deal," he said in a private phone interview. "And to be honest, I think it's for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That's always a good thing." Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the shocking news. "What am I going to do without Facebook?" said Denise Bradshaw, a high school student from Indiana. "My life revolves around it. I'm on Facebook at least 10 hours a day. Now what am I going to do with all that free time?" However, parents across the country have been experiencing a long anticipated sense of relief. "I'm glad the Facebook nightmare is over," said Jon Guttari, a single parent from Detroit. "Now my teenager's face won't be glued to a computer screen all day. Maybe I can even have a conversation with her." Those in the financial circuit are criticizing Zuckerberg for walking away from a multibillion dollar franchise. Facebook is currently ranked as one of the wealthiest businesses in the world, with economists estimating its value at around 7.9 billion. But Zuckerberg remains unruffled by these accusations. He says he will stand by his decision to give Facebook the axe. "I don't care about the money," said Zuckerberg. "I just want my old life back." The Facebook Corporation suggests that users remove all of their personal information from the website before March 15th. After that date, all photos, notes, links, and videos will be permanently erased.
