Problems with real alternative player.

2004-08-27 Thread Anders Holmberg
Hello!
I don't know if this is off topic but i try it out here.
My realalternative player acts very strange whenever i try to choose any
thing i have saved into the favorites menu.
There's a dialogue comming upp telling me that the program has generated an
error and i'll have to restart it.
I don't know why this happens.
To me its very irritating.
I've been trying to reinstall it a couple of times but it doesn't seem to
help.
Any suggestions would be apreeciated.
Thanks in advance.
/Anders.

Yahoo Sports College Broadcast

2004-08-27 Thread Gordon and Kimberly
I'm having a problem with the yahoo sports college broadcast.
I'm using jfw 5.1 and windows xpsp2.
I am able to hear the streams, but the volume is about half way to its maximum.  This 
is not good.  I've tried to change everything I can think of, but nothing has worked.  
I've ran the media helper, I've turned my pop-up blocking software off, I've made sure 
that all of my player volumes are up all the way, and there is no change.
My wife is sighted and she can click the volume button within the yahoo player, and 
then slide it up, but jaws does not allow us the accessibility to do that.  I spent a 
lot of time on this yesterday and I'm at my wits end.  If someone has any sugesstions, 
I'd love to hear them.
This same package worked great for me last year, so I know it will work, it's just a 
matter of figuring it out.

Thank you very much in advance.

mp3 or wav

2004-08-27 Thread Morey Worthington
Hello all,
I am copying my vinyl records to be put on a CD. Understanding that the
quality of the record means much, the following question still pertains to
quality.
Which format has the better recording quality..mp3 or wav?
If I recorded in .wav and then converted that .wav file to .mp3 would the
quality change?
I guess what I am asking, which format sounds better in the finished
product?
Thanks,
Morey

If you're really worried about quality and you're not particularly 
concerned about disc space (perhaps you'd rather copy to DVD'S for your 
record collection rather than CD'S) then you may consider a lossless 
compression format such as FLAC.  A tipical 600 meg wave file will be 
compressed to 300 or 400 meg without any loss in quality, you can then 
decode the Flac file back to a wave file if you wish (again! with no loss 
in quality), this cannot be said for MP3, the more you convert or decode 
and re-encode your MP3 files then the more noticable the quality loss will be.

A plug-in for Winamp is available to allow it to play Flac files.

Many rippers will handle Flac files including Exact Audio Copy, Easy CD DA 
Extractor etc.  Nero will also handle Flac files, EAC cue sheets etc.

Allot of the portable players around (particularly those which allow 
firmware upgrading and direct programming through LINUX support the FLAC 
format.

So (I guess my point is in summarising (if you can) leave MP3, OGG etc behind.

If you're going to use MP3 then try the new LAME VBR settings, takes a 
while to compress but the results are outstanding! as far as MP3 goes, 
you'll get small files with great sound as LAME encodes each frame of each 
track according to the best bit-rate available for that frame rather than 
doing all the track at a set bit rate.

 Hi Norma.

 When in CDEX, press function key F4 to open the settings dialogue.
 Press shift tab and then use your left arrow key to locate the file names
 tab.
 Press tab until you hear the output directory for WAV/MP3.
 Now press enter.
 You will be in a dialogue that will allow you to browse your hard drive
 (whoops sorry Jeff mentioned that word again!) to locate your folder of
 choice.  When selected tab to ok and press enter.  Tab once again to the
 recorded tracks control and press enter.  Again you will have opened up
the

 bit of a waste of time but I have a vague recollection that you need to
 change both.  You can now tab to the ok button and press enter.  Job done.

Re: mp3 or wav

2004-08-27 Thread ron scott
Hi Morey, part of the answer might lay in the recording program you use.
If you are doing editing, gold wave, for example, only edits in wave files.
So noise reduction, pop and click removal, etc, has to be done in wave,
before converting to other formats.

Re: mp3 or wav

2004-08-27 Thread Matt
Your computer will record to wav format by default, but you can choose what 
format the recording is rendered to when it is saved.

I suggest that you choose to save your recording as an MP3, with a bit depth 
of at least 192 KBPS, and a sampling rate of 44100HZ. I tend to use 192 KBPS 
or higher for all my music.

The optimum would be 256 KBPS, because it's still pretty small, but it is 
very difficult for the human ear to pick up the compression errors at that 
bit depth. You might notice that something isn't quite right at 192 KBPS, 
but that's usually only on high frequency sounds like symbols etc.

Bit depths like 160, 128 and 112 KBPS are really not all that great for 
music.

If you choose to store your music in the Ogg format, you can choose a bit 
depth of say, 128 KBPS, or even 112 KBPS, because OGG quality is better than 
MP3 at lower bit depths.

You should remember however, that whatever format you choose in the end, you 
must make sure that everything is set to stereo when you save your 
recording! So many times I've recorded something, and forgotten that my last 
recording was a mono one, and I've gone and saved my lovely stereo recording 
as a mono one and had to start all over again!

Anyway, hope all that helps:
Regards,
Matt

Re: mp3 or wav

2004-08-27 Thread Matt
Beg to differ here.
As long as you do not change bit rates, encoding an MP3 from a wav file, and 
then going back to Wav from that same MP3 later on will not cause a loss in 
quality. That is to say, your newly rendered Wav file will be the same 
quality as your MP3 file, because a Wav file is a photographic image of your 
MP3.

You can go back to a new MP3 from your second Wav and so on, and there will 
be no noticeable loss of quality as long as your MP3 bit depth does not drop 
below 320 KBPS every time you encode back to MP3.

Of course there will eventually be a decay in the audio quality, but you'd 
have to swap back and forward an unlikely number of times before this 
happens, and hey ... Who's really gonna sit there and do that anyway? In 
terms of switching backwards and forwards 3 or 4 times though ... no 
problem. You just have to choose a bit depth of at least 224 KBPS when 
encoding each time, but preferably 320 KBPS.

Regards,
Matt

I would imagine that's the best obtainable but the problem is that those 
programmes that rely on the GUI version of LAME (LAME.ENC.DLL) think its 
called, will most likely not be able to use all the settings which allow 
extra processing, if your ripper allows the use of the LAME command line 
utility (LAME.EXE) then you'll be far better off as you can customise the 
encoder for all the latest options, Exact Audio Copy and Easy CD DA 
Extractor are 2 rippers I know of which allow the use of external compressors.

It's all up to you and the settings you pick.  For sure, if you picked .WAV,
it would be as complete a copy as you could get and you could always convert
from that to something else later.  On the other hand, you would still get
compression, saving space, even at 256 or 320 using MP3, and it would sound
great.  Could you tell the difference in a double blind test?  I doubt it.
Could you play MP3s on any cd player in case you wanted?  No.

Subject: mp3 or wav


 Hello all,
 I am copying my vinyl records to be put on a CD. Understanding that the
 quality of the record means much, the following question still pertains to
 quality.
 Which format has the better recording quality..mp3 or wav?
 If I recorded in .wav and then converted that .wav file to .mp3 would the
 quality change?
 I guess what I am asking, which format sounds better in the finished
 product?
 Thanks,
 Morey

 Hi Morey, part of the answer might lay in the recording program you use.
 If you are doing editing, gold wave, for example, only edits in wave
files.
 So noise reduction, pop and click removal, etc, has to be done in wave,
 before converting to other formats.

noaa weather radio

2004-08-27 Thread Ray Slaton
Hey Guys,

The subject of noaa weather radio and the synthetic speech has come up once
in a while on the list.
If you want to hear some really clear speech you should dial the Miami
Florida national weather service at

305 229-4522.

They use a program called the V I P voice improvement program.
It's been out about a year.
It uses a male and female voice.  The male sounds the clearest.
But the hourly station ID  uses the real robotic sounding speech of an
earlier program.
I really like the male voice.
What do you think?

PS.  This is not a toll free number normal long distance charges apply.
