Sound Cards And Jaws
Hi List, Can any one tell me if that little external USB sound card that Creative Labs is making, will not have that dreaded eloquence crackle that most of the creative cards have? I think Patric Perdue has this small external USB 2.0 card unit, and perhaps he can tell us if the eloquence problem exists on that USB device, and maybe some other cool or not so cool features and sound quality specks on this USB external Sound Blaster. Any help or information about sound quality, and features and eloquence crackeling would be most helpful to me... Roger R.

Re: Possible consumer issue with USB FM transmitter; all please read
Hi, I bought what should have been Model 3 of the Linex U S B transmitter. I was sent Model 1. So I called the shipper and that required 4 phone calls to get a variety of contacts etc. The guy is named Rick Jackson yet the R. Jackson account on EBAY was "sold" to some one else. I was assured they ship only version 3 but occasionaly version 2 or 2.5 can be shippedand that is not his fault yetI got version 1 which transmits about 15 feet. I was assured that version 2.5 is just great; it transmits 50 feet yet they ship only Version 3. If you are having issues, the phone number is on the packaging and is 801 768 8933. - Original Message - From: "Marco Curralejo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Fw: FTP Internet and Technology News Record Industry Sues 754 for Internet Song Swaps
Subject: FTP Internet and Technology News Record Industry Sues 754 for Internet Song Swaps Record Industry Sues 754 for Internet Song Swaps Thu Dec 16, 2004 04:04 PM ET By Andy Sullivan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A recording industry trade group said Thursday that it has filed another wave of lawsuits against 754 people it suspects of distributing songs over the Internet without permission. The Recording Industry Association of America has now sued more than 7,000 people for distributing its songs over "peer to peer" networks like eDonkey and Kazaa, in an effort to discourage the online song copying that it believes has cut into CD sales. The RIAA typically settles copyright infringement suits for around $5,000 each. Despite more than a year of headline-grabbing lawsuits, peer-to-peer use has not declined. An average of 7.5 million users were logged on to peer-to-peer networks in November 2004, up from 4.4 million in November 2003, according to the research firm BigChampagne. The four major labels -- Vivendi Universal, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, EMI Group Plc and privately held Warner Music -- have recently begun to license their songs to a new generation of online services as a way to slash distribution costs and reach out to fans. But recording-industry officials remain at loggerheads with software makers like Grokster and Morpheus that allow users to freely copy their songs. "With legal online retailers still forced to compete against illegal free networks, the playing field remains decidedly unbalanced," said RIAA president Cary Sherman in a statement. Courts so far have declined to declare peer-to-peer software makers like Grokster and Morpheus illegal because, like a photocopier, they do not permit copyright infringement but merely make it possible. The Supreme Court will hear the entertainment's case against Grokster and Morpheus in March. The latest round of lawsuits included students at Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, Old Dominion University and Virginia Commonwealth University. Under pressure form the RIAA, many schools have taken steps to limit file sharing and at least 20 schools give students free access to industry-sanctioned download services like Roxio Inc.'s Napster. The RIAA does not yet know the names of those it has sued, only the numerical addresses used by their computers. The trade group typically finds out suspects' identities from their Internet service providers during the legal proceedings. Copyright Reuters 2004. All Rights Reserved.

Fw: FTP Internet and Technology News New CD copy-lock technology nears market
Might be of interest to some of us out there! Subject: FTP Internet and Technology News New CD copy-lock technology nears market New CD copy-lock technology nears market Published: December 16, 2004, 4:00 AM PST By John Borland Staff Writer, CNET News.com A new kind of copy-protected music CD will likely hit U.S. shelves early next year, as record label SonyBMG experiments with a technology created by British developer First 4 Internet, according to sources familiar with the companies. Several major music labels have already used a version of the British company's technology on prerelease compact discs distributed for review and other early-listening purposes, including on recent albums from Eminem and U2. The releases for the retail market, expected early in 2005, will be the first time the Sony music label issues copy-protected CDs in the U.S. market, although the company's other divisions have done so in other regions. BMG, Sony's new corporate sibling, has been more aggressive, with a handful of protected CDs released last year. "We have always focused on a high level of protection, but we've waited until there aren't any playability issues." --Mathew Gilliat-Smith, CEO, First 4 Internet A SonyBMG representative declined to comment on the plans. First 4 Internet Chief Executive Officer Mathew Gilliat-Smith confirmed that his company plans to release a consumer version of its technology with one major label in the United States, but he declined to identify the label. Gilliat-Smith said his company has been waiting to improve its technology. Better-known companies Macrovision and Sunncomm have seen sporadic--and sometimes controversial--use of their products on CDs released around the world. "We're not keen to rush," Gilliat-Smith said. "We have always focused on a high level of protection, but we've waited until there aren't any playability issues." The new SonyBMG experiments are a further sign that copy protection on music CDs may be moving closer to the mainstream U.S. market. The practice is much more common in European and Asian markets. For several years, the major record labels have sought a way to protect CDs against unrestricted copying and "ripping," or transforming songs into files such as MP3s that can be swapped widely online. Early experiments proved unpopular, prompting reports that the discs could not play in certain kind of stereos, or might even damage computers . The past year has seen resurgent signs of interest from the major labels, however. A watershed moment in the United States came when the BMG-released Velvet Revolver album reached the top of the industry's sales charts , despite being clearly marked as copy-protected. Industry insiders said that helped assuage some boardroom concerns about potential consumer backlash. Questions remain about the appropriate technology to use, however. The copy protection from Sunncomm, used by BMG in the United States, could be fairly easily disabled simply by pressing a computer's Shift key while the CD was loading, for example. That issue has been fixed in the company's most recent version of its products. It also may be a tricky job to make rules associated with copy-protected discs match those associated with songs purchased from online stores such as Napster or Apple Computer's iTunes. Those stores allow their customers to burn CDs that can then be copied without restriction; by contrast some labels want to limit the number of times a copied CD can be duplicated again--a technology called " secure burning ." First 4 Internet's entry into the market marks a potentially new twist on the basic technology, however. The company got its start by offering a tool to identify pornographic images in Web sites and e-mails, and selling the technology to Web-filtering companies for their own products. The company has been working on the disc-protection technology since 2001, following conversations with the EMI record label, Gilliat-Smith said. The technology wraps ordinary song files in strong encryption, but in a way that still allows regular CD players to read them. Another part of the disc contains data files that help improve protection. The company has worked particularly closely on prereleases in the U.S. market with Universal Music. First 4 Internet's U.S. representative said the copy-protection technology has been included on a number of extremely high-profile CDs while in the review and demo stage, without being broken. "Could it be broken? I'm sure that somebody must be able to do it," said Graham Oakes, the head of Los Angeles-based Ezee Studios, which represents First 4 Internet. "But is there a generally known hack that has been put on the Net, or have any of the record label IT people found a hack yet? No." Analysts remain skeptical that labels will ultimately launch copy-protected discs on a widespread level in the United States, citing continued consumer opposition and the delicate technological balancing act between strong prote
Re: Help with CDex
Hi Frank. Are you copying the books from cassette or ripping them from a CD? CDEX will only retrieve titles when ripping from CD and this relies on someone having already submitted the details of a CD to one of the free CDDB databases. It's unlikely that a book would be added to the database. When using cDEX to record from line in, no titles will be retrieved as there is no CD information for the program to go away and query a CDDB database.

Re: microphones
Des! Jerry here. There are several microphones designed specifically for recording meetings and conferences. Do you know what sort of budget you have? Does your Sony cassette recorder have a monitoring capability. I'm thinking that you may be able to run a cable from the headphone output of the cassette recorder into the microphone input of the computer and record directly onto the computer skipping the cassette recording step but still use the microphone of the cassette recorder.

critical stop error with nero 6303
Hi all, first, after being told that the cereal number was illegal from my nero express o e m version, I just purchased the regular cereal number, but the people helping me, didn't know what to look for, and they didn't even know things like what a colon looked like, so I may have gotten the number wrong, and the first person that helped me didn't see a cereal number on the cd, but it was on there twice, but dully written. Now, I made four copies of four separate cd's, and kept nero version 6303 open for all the copies, but at the end of the last cd, when I had taken it out, I heard a critical stop sound, and I couldn't alt tab, or anything, because I had lost my speech, and control alt delete said it was something about msvcr messinger not responding, but I closed everything, and though the last disc was finalized, it wasn't full, and I had told nero to start new session discs, so, I wonder what caused this critical stop error, and in the future, would it have been wise to close nero to start each new copy of another cd, or what? This, with the latest nero burning rom, window-eyes 4.5sp4, 192 megs of ram, a 400 megs processor, and windows 98 se. Thanks, and though the discs were all burned successfully, that critical stop error worries me.
