Sound under DOS
Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 08:16:00 -0500 From: "Harrison, Richard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sound under DOS I'm in the midst of trying to turn my Libretto 50CT into a MP3 jukebox. While doing this, I've been experimenting with different players. Even the most basic players, like Winamp AMP2000 burp and skip and shutter if ANYTHING else is being done. I've even gone so far as to load Winamp instead of Explorer as the windows shell. I still get shutters every time I touch the mouse. So, I'm moving on to DOS MP3 players. I've downloaded a few to look at, but I'm having a basic problem. Where can I find DOS drivers for the Yamaha OLP3 sound card on the Libby? If anyone is interested, I'll report back my trials final config. Thanks in advance for the help. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **

PC card to USB
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 09:48:05 -0500 From: "Harrison, Richard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PC card to USB Michael, Where did you find a serial to USB adapter. It might be just the ticket for those of us with Lib 50 70!!! Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 07:53:32 -0500 From: "Michael Hodish" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: pc card to usb On a recent trip to japan, I was looking for such a beast, and they all require cardbus support, which we don't have. Those look like normal type 2 cards, but have a brass or copper strip along the top edge of the connector, 4 or 5 mm wide, with little bumps on it. They are not supported. I did find a serial port to usb adapter, that is just a little dongle, driven by a software driver. It might work thru the docking station, I don't know. I bought it for another application.

MP3 vs WMA
Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2001 09:18:27 -0500 From: "Harrison, Richard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MP3 vs WMA I've noticed quite a few discussions about using Librettos as MP3 players. So, I'd like to ask somewhat off topic questions (only somewhat, I think, because of the resource limits of the Libretto). I've just read that Microsoft's WMA format offers almost a doubling of the compression ratio compared to MP3's. So, CD quality audio can be achieved at 64bit sampling levels. This results in files sized of half. Based on this alone, I'd love to go through and convert my MP3 collect and essentially double the size of my hard drive! First question is, what is the down side of the format? Second, the ripper I use will also "convert" mp3's to WMA. What bit rate would I have to have in the source MP3 to end up with a good 64 bit WMA. Once again, I apologize about the "somewhat" off topic post.

other OS's
Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2000 09:45:01 -0500 From: "Harrison, Richard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: other OS's Here is what might be an odd question. I've just had a Libretto 50 dropped in my lap because its previous owner found it too slow. While I agree that 75Mhz and 16 Mb of RAM isn't state of the art, I hate the idea of pitching such a cool tool. My question is thus; what other OS's are out there that can run on this limited muscle (Win98 WinNT WinCE RedHat BEOS)? Next, I'm curious about people's experience with specific MS OS's. I want to be practical about this and want to use this to supplement my office computer. I doubt that I will be able to convince my employer to change all of our computers to Linux! First, will WinCe run on the libretto? I'm drawn to the promise of instant on, and longer battery life. I also figure that since it is designed to run with "smaller" processors, that it would be a good candidate. I know that I would be limited to the packages that come with CE, but these are the ones that work with my office system (ie Word, Excel, etc). Second, because I want to be able to use MS Office compatible software, which of the remaining MS OS's would give me the best performance? Thanks up front for any advise. I look forward to keeping my new found computer working for years! ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **
