Parsing Digital Audio Files:

[Jeff Maxwell]

I have digital audio CDs that were created by copying cassette
inputs to
a CD recorder.  This put 2 tracks on the CD; one for each side
of the
cassette.  

Each track contains several songs.  

I would like to parse each song to separate files/tracks, edit
them with
the appropriate song information then burn them to a new CD
output.

thanks.

Analog-to-Digital Audio:

[Jeff Maxwell]

I am in need of a way to process an analog stereo input device
to
digital.

I basically have old cassettes and reel-to-reels that I would
like to
convert to digital.

I do have an old CD recorder that I have been using but it has
started
to have issues not being able to read the CDs I insert.

I would think the better method would be some way to connect the
audio
output of the cassette/reel-to-reel device to the input of my
sound card
and do some type of capture.

Has anyone had any success at this and how do handle 2 rca type
outputs
from the analog to the single sound card input?

Thanks.

Yes - what I believe you are referring to is call "panel".  Put your
cursor on the panel and right click your mouse.  It should show a pull
down menu with the option to add.  Select add and you will have a host
of possibilities.

Would not GPG or PGP work for mail and file encryption?

Ok.  I can understand the reasoning for that.  But, why would I only
have access to the printer/scanner when signed on as root and not as a
local user?  This is the problem that I am running into.  Every time I
wish to use the scanner, I need to switch users to root.

Well I am very confused.  I decided to delete all printer definitions
and start from scratch using the cups web administration process to add
a printer.  Once added, I went to the HP Device Manager and it had an
icon for the printer but said that it could not be connected.  I then
switched users to "root" and using the HP device Manager it showed the
printer connected with icons for options to scan, print or fax.  One
thing that I did find peculiar is that it asked for a user id/password
when adding the printer.  I tried to use my local user id/password but
it would not accept it.  It seemed to be in a loop and kept popping up
asking for user id /password.  I finally entered root and password which
it accepted.

Thanks for the advice.  I've been busy with other issues and finally
found time to look further into this.

I did find the following in the cupsd.conf and I am wondering if the
SystemGroup is causing my problem as I appear to be able to access my
printer/scanner when logged in as "root" but not as a local user.

MaxLogSize 0
LogLevel info
SystemGroup sys root

Thoughts?

So, does these mean that once Fedora 10 is live, and you run 'yum
install preupgrade', it will upgrade, say Fedora 9 to Fedora 10.

That would be so cool.  I've hated having to down load the latest DVD
then installing/upgrading.

When I go to Administration/printing, I have 2 printers listed under
Local Printers.

They are: OfficeJet-Series-600 and OfficeJet_600.

OfficeJet-Series-600 has listed under the Settings Tab/Device URI:
parallel:/dev/lp0 

The other has hp:/par/OfficeJet_Series_600?device=/dev/parport0

Thanks for the information.  This is these are the same procedures that
I went through prior.  The first 'rpm' results in the message that I
already have Flash installed'  The second, 'yum' says that there is
nothing to do.  Fedora believes that it is fully installed, but, Fire
Fox does not pick up the plug in.  It is as if, the install process does
not load it into the directory or file where Fire Fox believes it should
be to be picked up.

Well, I have a fresh install of Fedora 9 and when I've accessed a WEB
page requesting Adobe Flash, I followed the instructions to install it.
After installation, Fire Fox plug-ins still do not register that Adobe
Flash is installed.  If I attempt to install it a second time, I have
the message saying it is installed.  I may be naive, but it seems to me
that during the install (either rpm or yum) that some element did not
get moved into the Fire Fox plug-in directory.  Therefore, Fire Fox does
not know that it exists on the system.  Any help to address this would
be appreciated.

Thanks.

This is great information.  I do not know if my question fits this
thread or not, but, I have an issue where I have been able to install
and access an HP parallel OfficeJet printer via the "root" sign on but I
am not able to access the printer via a local user sign on.  Any
suggestions would be much appreciated.

thanks.

Never mind.  Once I finally took the time to read through the threads
more thoroughly and checked the web sites out, the upgrade to fusion was
intuitive.

Ok, I am confused and just may be a bit slow.

I am running Fedora 9 with Gnome.  There is a graphical front end for
adding/removing software and another for updates. 

I reviewed these and did not see any indication that the fusion
repositories were added.

Is there something I am missing?  Should I be doing something to add
fusion?  

In following the various threads,  I was under the impression that
Fedora was setting this up to be seamless that the only concerned seemed
to be with the keys.

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

It is installed.  The curious situation is that I am able to use the
OfficeJet while signed on as "root" but not as my local user.  There
must be some setting that I am missing which allows the OfficeJet to be
used by others on the machine when they sign on as there normal user.

I too have had issues with Adobe Flash player.  I have visited web sites
that say that I am missing this.  I've gone to the the Adobe web site
and have followed their instructions but still find that the yum or rpm
process has not properly updated FireFox.  Per the Adobe web site, if I
check the plug ins, I should see that Adobe Flash is include after
following the install instructions.  Fedora 9 believes that it has
installed it.

It seems that the issue is between "root" and my local user.  If I sign
on under "root", the HP Device application has no problem finding my
OfficeJet.  Nor does it have any problems with the scan function.  

If I am signed on as my local user, the system is unable to communicate
with the printer.

I did find that while going through the set up process for the printer
under my local sign in, that it asked for my password.  After typing it
in several times, I hit the cancel button.

There may be a disconnect where by the application is unable to
recognize my local sign on password.

Prior to attempting to us my OfficeJet for scanning, I installed it as a
printer using the System/Administration/Printing setup application.

Through this process, Fedora 9 recognized my printer.

Following the information, I checked to see that hplip was installed and
found that it was.  I included the graphical front end.  After
installing the graphical front end, the installation asked if I wish to
run the program.  I answered yes and it responded saying that it was
unable to find any devices the subsequently crashed.

SANE Support in Fedora 9 for HP

[Jeff Maxwell]

I have a very old HP OfficeJet 630 parallel port multifunction
printer/scanner/fax machine.  

Prior to Fedora 9, I had no problems with xsane/sane recognizing the
scanner function.

After installing Fedora 9 and going to the Software Add to include the
HP support for sane, xsane still can not find my device.

I have installed it as a printer without any issues.
