Re: [JAWS-Users] Burn CD with Media Player

2010-10-11 Thread Lisa Belville

Well, the process is more straight forward.

I have tons of ram and a pretty fast processor, but WMP constantly hangs on 
my system and I need to go into task manager to shut it down.  I know it's 
WMP because before it starts all is happy, and once it's gone, all is well 
again.  I'm not sure what's causing this, but it's a fairly consistent 
occurrence for me.


Plus I don't find this version of WMP, version 11, to be as user friendly as 
previous versions.  I think there's a tutorial out there specifically 
designed with keyboard commands and screen readers, but I've had good luck 
with CDex, so that's what I'm sticking to for now.


As far as usability of CDex, You just download and use the accompanying 
documentation to configure the program.  It will also burn data CDs and a 
few other types of files, but I haven't explored this further.


Then you put in a CD, start CDex, and it goes out to the net and finds the 
CD in a huge data base.  If there's more than one match, it shows you what 
options are available.  There's sometimes a data listing and a regular music 
track listing.


You tell CDex which selection you want and it automatically fills in the 
meta data with album name, artist, genre, release date and track listing. 
these all appear in separate fields you can tab to and edit if necessary.


The tracks appear in a simple list view, so you can use arrow keys in 
combination with control or shift to select the tracks you want or Control A 
to select all tracks.  Then you press F9 for MP3 or F10 for a wave copy and 
the program does the rest.


Once in a great while, it can't find a match.  This usually happens with 
copies of CDs that aren't the original, like stuff you've burned on other 
PCs.

Thanks Lisa.  Why do you prefer this program.  Is the ripping process 
better?  I don't really know what that means.  When I used WMP to burn a 
cd the other day I got static so I  thought maybe I should unload Jaws and 
then reload after ripping and burning.  But after some analysis it had to 
do with my CD drive itself.  Whenever I played a cd on player I could hear 
some static.  So then I tried to burn a disk and the CD kept ejecting.  I 
went into My Computer and the D drive was not even part of the list of 
drives. So I thought perhaps a virus or something but did not know.  I 
rebooted and then the D drive was listed and no more static.  I burned 
some CDs and all sounds fine.
I think I will download this software and give it a whirl.  But honestly I 
felt thrilled that I finally understood WMP.  I just learned by trial and 
error.  I ruined so many CDS.
I usually don't use CDs much because I can copy songs in MP3 format on a 
thumb drive, Cf or SD card.  I can plug in NLS digital player with songs 
into my radio or use my Dell PDA and plug into radio to hear music.  I am 
happy that I learned how to burn because I'll use CDs while travelling in 
car.

Thanks again.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Keystroke for centralizing text

2010-10-11 Thread Lisa Belville
Are you talking about centering text so that it appears in the middle of the 
page or are you referring to heading styles used to organize text?


If you just want to center it, the control E instructions others have given 
will work.


If you want to organize things into different levels of headings, that's 
under a different menu option I'd have to go look up.  I've got Word 2003, 
but I don't use that option very often.

I have been struggling with CD creation for a long time now.

What in the name of all is the difference between burning and ripping?

Which ever choice I make the CD is ejected on apparent completion but it 
still won't play on anything and when I look again in the computer there 
seems only to be two files regardless of how many I select.


Now I have not yet tried your method of drag--drop but instead have tried 
copy--paste which method only seems to yield two files.


Thanks and thanks for your directions, I'll try them soon.

Dale Leavens.

[JAWS-Users] volume and sound card question

2010-10-11 Thread Kliph
Hello, I just got a brand new net book.  It per's like a kitten, I just
can't figure out how to make Jaws a little louder.  I know net books are
limited to the hard ware, so do I need to buy another sound card so I can
adjust the volume?  Or is there something I'm not doing right?  My windows
sounds come out loud and clear, and I've went to my sound options and turned
everything up. But nothing seems to work.  A little help please?

Thanks Wayne,

I would have called ripping copying.

When one has material, songs or talking books already on the computer is 
it necessary to first rip to CD then to burn to the CD? None of this makes 
logical sense to me.


Surely there must be a more direct and easier method of copying files from 
my computer to a CD directly albeit with a final step to commit to the 
disk.

Well, the process is more straight forward.

I have tons of ram and a pretty fast processor, but WMP constantly hangs 
on my system and I need to go into task manager to shut it down.  I know 
it's WMP because before it starts all is happy, and once it's gone, all is 
well again.  I'm not sure what's causing this, but it's a fairly 
consistent occurrence for me.


Plus I don't find this version of WMP, version 11, to be as user friendly 
as previous versions.  I think there's a tutorial out there specifically 
designed with keyboard commands and screen readers, but I've had good luck 
with CDex, so that's what I'm sticking to for now.


As far as usability of CDex, You just download and use the accompanying 
documentation to configure the program.  It will also burn data CDs and a 
few other types of files, but I haven't explored this further.


Then you put in a CD, start CDex, and it goes out to the net and finds the 
CD in a huge data base.  If there's more than one match, it shows you what 
options are available.  There's sometimes a data listing and a regular 
music track listing.


You tell CDex which selection you want and it automatically fills in the 
meta data with album name, artist, genre, release date and track listing. 
these all appear in separate fields you can tab to and edit if necessary.


The tracks appear in a simple list view, so you can use arrow keys in 
combination with control or shift to select the tracks you want or Control 
A to select all tracks.  Then you press F9 for MP3 or F10 for a wave copy 
and the program does the rest.


Once in a great while, it can't find a match.  This usually happens with 
copies of CDs that aren't the original, like stuff you've burned on other 
PCs.

Thanks Lisa.  Why do you prefer this program.  Is the ripping process 
better?  I don't really know what that means.  When I used WMP to burn a 
cd the other day I got static so I  thought maybe I should unload Jaws 
and then reload after ripping and burning.  But after some analysis it 
had to do with my CD drive itself.  Whenever I played a cd on player I 
could hear some static.  So then I tried to burn a disk and the CD kept 
ejecting.  I went into My Computer and the D drive was not even part of 
the list of drives. So I thought perhaps a virus or something but did not 
know.  I rebooted and then the D drive was listed and no more static.  I 
burned some CDs and all sounds fine.
I think I will download this software and give it a whirl.  But honestly 
I felt thrilled that I finally understood WMP.  I just learned by trial 
and error.  I ruined so many CDS.
I usually don't use CDs much because I can copy songs in MP3 format on a 
thumb drive, Cf or SD card.  I can plug in NLS digital player with songs 
into my radio or use my Dell PDA and plug into radio to hear music.  I am 
happy that I learned how to burn because I'll use CDs while travelling in 
car.

Thanks again.
Ann

I've not been that impressed with the CD ripping process in Windows 
Media Player.I used to rip and burn CDs all of the time with WMP 
nine and 10, but the process was changed with the release of WMP 11.


you could try CDex.  It's a shareware program that's easy to use and is 
very customizable with JAWS.


You can find it and instructions for using it at

I'm fairly certain CDex works with Windows seven, though.

Well, the process is more straight forward.

I have tons of ram and a pretty fast processor, but WMP constantly hangs 
on my system and I need to go into task manager to shut it down.  I know 
it's WMP because before it starts all is happy, and once it's gone, all 
is well again.  I'm not sure what's causing this, but it's a fairly 
consistent occurrence for me.


Plus I don't find this version of WMP, version 11, to be as user friendly 
as previous versions.  I think there's a tutorial out there specifically 
designed with keyboard commands and screen readers, but I've had good 
luck with CDex, so that's what I'm sticking to for now.


As far as usability of CDex, You just download and use the accompanying 
documentation to configure the program.  It will also burn data CDs and a 
few other types of files, but I haven't explored this further.


Then you put in a CD, start CDex, and it goes out to the net and finds 
the CD in a huge data base.  If there's more than one match, it shows you 
what options are available.  There's sometimes a data listing and a 
regular music track listing.


You tell CDex which selection you want and it automatically fills in the 
meta data with album name, artist, genre, release date and track listing. 
these all appear in separate fields you can tab to and edit if necessary.


The tracks appear in a simple list view, so you can use arrow keys in 
combination with control or shift to select the tracks you want or 
Control A to select all tracks.  Then you press F9 for MP3 or F10 for a 
wave copy and the program does the rest.


Once in a great while, it can't find a match.  This usually happens with 
copies of CDs that aren't the original, like stuff you've burned on other 
PCs.

Thanks Lisa.  Why do you prefer this program.  Is the ripping process 
better?  I don't really know what that means.  When I used WMP to burn a 
cd the other day I got static so I  thought maybe I should unload Jaws 
and then reload after ripping and burning.  But after some analysis it 
had to do with my CD drive itself.  Whenever I played a cd on player I 
could hear some static.  So then I tried to burn a disk and the CD kept 
ejecting.  I went into My Computer and the D drive was not even part of 
the list of drives. So I thought perhaps a virus or something but did 
not know.  I rebooted and then the D drive was listed and no more 
static.  I burned some CDs and all sounds fine.
I think I will download this software and give it a whirl.  But honestly 
I felt thrilled that I finally understood WMP.  I just learned by trial 
and error.  I ruined so many CDS.
I usually don't use CDs much because I can copy songs in MP3 format on a 
thumb drive, Cf or SD card.  I can plug in NLS digital player with songs 
into my radio or use my Dell PDA and plug into radio to hear music.  I 
am happy that I learned how to burn because I'll use CDs while 
travelling in car.

Thanks again.
Ann

Ann,

I've not been that impressed with the CD ripping process in Windows 
Media Player.I used to rip and burn CDs all of the time with WMP 
nine and 10, but the process was changed with the release of WMP 11.


you could try CDex.  It's a shareware program that's easy to use and is 
very customizable with JAWS.


You can find it and instructions for using it at

Thanks Wayne,

I would have called ripping copying.

When one has material, songs or talking books already on the computer is 
it necessary to first rip to CD then to burn to the CD? None of this 
makes logical sense to me.


Surely there must be a more direct and easier method of copying files 
from my computer to a CD directly albeit with a final step to commit to 
the disk.


Thanks.

Ripping is putting cds or in this case songs onto the comptuer. 
Burning is copying them to a blank cd.

Hello Ann Marie et al,

I have been struggling with CD creation for a long time now.

What in the name of all is the difference between burning and ripping?

Which ever choice I make the CD is ejected on apparent completion but 
it still won't play on anything and when I look again in the computer 
there seems only to be two files regardless of how many I select.


Now I have not yet tried your method of drag--drop but instead have 
tried copy--paste which method only seems to yield two files.


Thanks and thanks for your directions, I'll try them soon.

Dale Leavens.

Hello Ann Marie,

 

I did a recording a couple months ago for one of my clients concerning using
Windows Media Player 12 for ripping a CD.  If you would like to go through
the file, I have included a link to it later in this message.  The recording
is certainly not professional quality but I have removed any reference to my
client from the file.  I did not get into working with the metadata in
Windows Media Player.  The setting of ripping options was included, but once
that has been done the options are remembered by Windows Media Player for
any subsequent ripping.  There very well might be other and better ways to
do the ripping with Windows Media Player 12, and certainly with other
programs, but I found the way discussed in the recording to be an easy way
to get the ripping done.  The following link goes to my SkyDrive page where
you can choose the download link to start downloading the file.
