If it works for you, you have a good deal. I'm using version 6 of it,
and I use version 7 of real player

 How many MP3's do you have, and what classifies as forever.
 
 I'm happy with it, okay the initial ecstacy of the really cool effects

MD: SCMS and burning CDs

2000-07-22 Thread Julien Blaise (E-coli)


Hi,

Once, a friend gave me a burned audio cd, and when I tried to copy it
digitally to my R55 it said "NoCopy" !!!
So I would like to know how SCMS works when you copy an audio CD,
because now I have a cd-writer and  I copied an audio cd and then I
tried to put this copy on MD, to see what's happening. And to my
surprise I was able to copy this copy (!) to my MD.
To burn this CD, I used WinOnCD.
So, is it the software or the cd-writer? Also I saw in Nero a Copyright
option. Is it SCMS  ??
Thanks in advance !
(Sorry if it's a little OT !)

2000-07-22 Thread J. Coon


AFAIK, the computer based CD burners don't bother with SCMS, but the
stand alone one do.  SO if your friend copied it on a stand alone unit,
the scms would be set to no copy, if you copied one on a computer based
system, scms would be set to unlimited copies.  
If I am wrong, I am sure someone will correct me, but that is what I
think is happening.

Re: MD: [Fwd: Maplin Promotions]

2000-07-22 Thread PrinceGaz


From: "Sean Buckingham" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   But Maplin Electronics is a UK based electronics store, generally
   very competitive and a rival to Tandy (Radio Shack) here--

 I think Maplins is more in competition with RS components than Tandy.. Both
 RS (no idea what it stands for!) and Maplins have HUGE mail order
 catalogues, and offer a wider range of stock than Tandy. I haven't used
 Maplins, so I can't comment on them, but RS have good customer service/care
 and prompt delivery, but you do tend to pay a bit more for their components.

 The catalogues apparently cost  27 to produce, as the rep informed me when
 he noticed the four month old 3-phone-directory-sized box sitting unopened
 next to my desk.!   maybe i'll have to use maplins from now on.

 sean

Maplin charge about four pound for a maybe thousand page catalog, but they
are pushing the CD-ROM version in pdf format heavily which retails for ukp1.99

I agree Maplin have a much wider range but I've never seen a RS shop on the
high-street, Maplin are spreading steadily, in Newcastle City Centre we just
got a Maplins and boy is it handy.  Tandy buys from me have plummeted as a
result-- previously it meant a trip to Gateshead Metrocentre (not that any
of this paragraph will mean much to 90%+ of readers so I'll apologise and
stop).

  Hi guys,
  Its been around for months but the first official release version of
  MS Media Player 7 is on the Microsoft Windoze update site, and though
  I shudder as I type the following words about an MS product-- this is
  just too cool to believe.
  I've just touched the surface of its features but even its audio
  playback screen has a fancy sound-to-light converter with loads of
  types to choose from.  I believe it can rip CDs to MP3s but havent
  checked for that yet.  At any rate it is light years ahead of the
  previous version of Media Player (everytime I went to the MS update
  and saw the Media Player 7 beta listed, I was tempted but resisted).
  Normally I tend to slag off MS but this product at first sight seems
  great, wots more it's free!!!  Is this MS trying to kill of Real and
  MusicMatch and other multimedia software producers?  There must be an
  ulterior motive behind this seemingly wonderful piece of software.
  You guys are the best I know to ask, any thoughts on it?

 Personally I'm staying away from it.
 I have installed it to try it out, but it was removed almost immediately.
 I have a lot of video clips that play fine fullscreen under 6.4.  I tried
 them in 7 and it was like I had a low end Pentium instead of the 550@645
 that I run.
 WMP7 suffers BADLY from terrible refresh rate and laggy control response.
 It may have some really cool features but if its that slow I'm willing to do
 without them.
 The one good thing I will say is that it seems to uninstall cleanly ^_^
 James Budworth

Its good to know it uninstalls cleanly and doesnt leave a load of dodgy "I'll use this 
for such and such" lying around
I must say I was slightly suprised to find my K6-3/450 giving a rather jerky picture 
when the sound-video eindow was opened beyound
a window size of about 640x400

Esp as my pretty good videocard (overclocked videocard I should say) can cope with 
Quake II like a walk in the park

Cheers,
PrinceGaz.
