Re: Removing vocals from an mp3

2005-05-15 Thread Bruce Toews
Be advised that the best program for this job will not do a perfect job. 
The best you'll get is vocal reduction, and this will be at the expense of 
the rest of the song, particularly with respect to stereo.

Hi list,
I have been playing around with the creative audio converter from creative

Ripping Audio Songs from a Music DVD

2005-05-15 Thread G. McFarlane
Hi
I recently bought 16 classical CDs which were on a music DVD - each track is 
dolby surround sound coded.

My query is that I would like to add them to my hard drive collection for 
easy access - can I rip them off the DVD as I can a Music CD? If so, how?

Being encoded dolby surround sound, is this a problem or will it still be 
played by Media Player, etc.?

Also can the titles and track be automatically looked up on the internet 
database to save nameing them all?

As music is probably going the way of the DVD for greater storage, I assume 
this query will soon not be so unusual.

Thanks in anticipation for any response.
Gordon McFarlane

Just one observation about my experience with CDRWin. I am very much in 
agreement with Bruce, the program is definitely super accessible. 
However, something that really drove me nuts for a time was when pressing 
enter rather than the spacebar on most functions would cause the program 
to simply disappear, making it necessary to go locate it in the taskbar 
in order to bring it back into focus. Outside of that, it wasn't bad.

Have to add another drawback however. One thing you can't do with CDRWin 
that you can do with Nero, with nero you can make use of Explorer for 
copying and cutting and pasting files to and from your playlist. With 
CDRWin you can't. This makes using Nero a sheer pleasure.

Re: link for downloading winamp pro

You can go to Winamp.COM.  I think they should have it there.  I don't know 
of the file size of Winamp Pro, as I use the Winamp standard, or full

One place where you can get Winamp is at 
www.whitestick.co.uk/download.html, the approximate size of the file 
is 4.7MB.  If you have already purchased your registration key for 
Winamp pro the features available in the Pro edition will be 
available in Winamp 5.09.  I hope this helps.

Burning CDs with Windows Media Player

2005-05-15 Thread Yardbird
Recently, I was successful in teaching myself to rip music from CDs using 
Windows Media Player, which I'm glad to have done even though I intend to 
primarily use CDex for this purpose.  Always good to know more than one way 
to do something.

But I'm not having such success learning the burn procedure with WMP, which 
I'd hoped to do in order to avoid having to pay for a commercial 
application, considering how seldom I'm bound to use it.

I'm also hoping to be able to use WMP for making backup CDs of data files 
periodically, and I'm afraid, from my explorations, that this will be as 
confusing with WMP as the music burning function seems)

here's my main question on the music burning procedure:  I understand from 
the help files instructions that you're supposed to designate the files to 
be burned by choosing them from the Library and/or playlists.  Now, I don't 
know anything about the, nor do I use playlists to orchestrate my occasional 
PC audio experiences; I just find the track I want to hear in Windows 
Explorer, press Enter on it, and WMP plays it.  I don't set up whole 
sequences of tracks to play.  So I'm completely out of it about this Library 
and playlist stuff.

I kept tabbing around and hitting Enter now and then, and finally found a 
list of all my audio files.  But they're just a long list, not divided into 
the various albums they're in, as they're arranged on my hard drive under My 
Music.

Is this the Library?  All I want to do is burn a CD using all the tracks 
from that same CD as I've ripped it.  I don't want to create mixes or any of 
that.  If I still could see better, maybe I'd get into it, the way I once 
made mix tapes now and then on cassette.  But I don't really care.  I just 
want to find the tracks from one CD, load them into whatever list you're 
supposed to load them into, hit a Burn button, and made a new CD.

I'm sorry to be so verbose, but not feeling well today and it's hard to 
concentrate.  If anyone reading this realizes that I'm just not one of the 
talented blind computer people who can make sense of this function in WMP, 
and I ought to buy one of the commercial programs that work more simply, 
I'll consider the advice seriously.  I just wanted to give this a try, since 
I was able to figure out the rip function, although I hate all that tabbing 
around to so many controls I have no idea the function of in this context.

Thanks.

P.S.  As I say, I'm willing to bite the bullet and buy a program, but I was 
hoping not to have to spend as much as $100 for the new Nero release, and it 
seems the blind-popular Roxio Easy CD Creator has been superseded by Easy 
Media Creator 7, and I've tried the relatively simply and accessible Premier 
CD Creator program but had terrible problems with it, problems I believe I 
described here recently, and the Premier engineers won't get back to me 
about these issues (a ghostly Black Sabbath CD permanently loaded into the 
Audio Brabber function, and the program hanging when I press Burn in the 
burn program while accidentally not managing to get any files into the list. 
These are deal-breaker problems.

Anyway, I'm trying.  Help will be appreciated.
