Hello listers,
I should warn you up front this is going to be a long post, but I can't
keep quiet about this any longer!  Also please excuse the cross-posting this
once.  I realize that extended discussion of this subject may be off-topic
for the list, so feel free to contact me off-list if I can provide any
additional information on this.  Thanks, and here goes:

 Back in February, I read an article in the New York Times about a new
way to use audio and RSS technology which is called podcasting.  Basically,
its a way of getting mp3 files which other users create and upload to a
server automatically downloaded to your machine/mp3 player  as soon as they
become available.  Now don't let the pod in the name podcast put you
off--you don't need an Ipod to take advantage of these files--your computer
or any portable mp3 player (like the Bookport) will work just fine, thank
you!  Not all podcasts are in mp3 format, but the vast majority of them are.
The only additional piece you need is a piece of software called an
aggrigator (or frequently referred to as a podcatcher)!  I knew immediately
that this was the answer to my mp3 file prayers, and have been exploring the
wide world of podcasts ever since.  And a goldmine it is!  There are
podcasts available on every conceivable subject from news, technology,
sports, music, comedy etc.  You can find serialized books and dramas,
programs for any musical taste, programs that make you laugh out loud,
religious programs, and on and on it goes.  To help you get started in
exploring this rich and varied world, I've put together a little 5-step
getting started guide.  I hope some of you will find as much enjoyment from
this as I have had.

 Step 1: Get an aggrigator
So how do you find the right software?  Podcastalley provides an excellent
software page which is a good central point for finding the software you
need.  Go to
http://www.podcastalley.com/phpBB2/links.php
Finding the best software to use with your screen reader will take a little
experimentation.  The program I use and recommend is Ipodder 2.0 available
at
http://ipodder.sourceforge.net
Here is a direct download link:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ipodder/iPodder2.0.exe?download
Another program that works well with speech is Primetime Podcast Receiver
http://www.primetimepodcast.com/blog/default.aspx
Once you've downloaded and installed your aggrigator, take some time to
familiarize yourself with the default options.  You'll probably want to
change the download directory to something that works for you, or at least
find out what the default location is.  You may also want to check a box to
have scans done automatically when the program starts.  Also take a look at
the scheduling options, which are generally in a separate dialog box.  I
have mine set up to check for new files every four hours.  Most programs
will either allow you to set specific times or frequencies in hours.

 Step 2: Find and subscribe to podcasts
The easiest way to subscribe to podcasts is to use the directories built in
to most podcatchers.  In Ipodder, simply hit control-tab once from the
starting screen and you will land in a directory tree structure with several
directories to choose from.  Most of these programs use a tabbed interface
so you use control-tab to change views.  Use the tree structure to locate
categories and podcasts you are interested in.  In Ipodder, simply press
enter on any show you want to add.  Hit shift-control-tab to cycle back to
the subscriptions view which shows the list of shows you are subscribed to.
Be aware that most programs including Ipodder start you off with a few
default podcasts.  If you aren't interested in these defaults, they can be
easily removed.  In Ipodder, right click on the unwanted entry and choose
remove from the

hello list,
I have a rather unusual problem with my soundcard, it is a lexicon 
studiocore32, so it is not the usual standard soundcard, which means that 
tech support for it seems to be a bit on the non existent side.
the problem I am having, is that I can't get any volume controls up for it, 
and as well as that, I can't get things with software speech such as k1000 
or window-eyes installation to talk through it.
has anyone else had this problem and managed to fix it?
a bit more info for those who may know the card, I use the LDI-12T interface.

problem with my CD burner

2005-04-12 Thread Bobcat
I've started having a strange problem with my CDRW drive.  First:  CDEX
can't see any tracks on the drive.  Second, CD Copier won't copy disks.  The
copy button is unavailable.  Third:  I use a special CD reader for Winamp.
It no longer works and returns an ASPI failure message.  The strange thing
is that the normal Winamp CD output plugin works correctly and plays the
audio CD.  I can also copy data to and  from disks.

This is a fairly new Asus 52x CDRW drive on Win98se.

I checked my cable connection and tried to reinstall Adaptech aspi layer
without success.

My next idea is to uninstall and reinstall the software that came with the
