Re: speakers for computer
Hi Sun Sparkle, Do like I did, get a Y cord with a 1/8 inch plug on the one end, and 2 rc plugs on the other, they are usually colour coded like red and white black and yellow whatever. Plug the 1/8 inch end into the back of your computer tower where the speakers normally would plug in, take the other 2 plugs and plug them into some place on the back of your stero receiver like vcr input, cd input or extra input slot, waula there you go.

Re: speakers for computer
Sun Sparkle! I don't know these particular speakers but I guess they are not powered, don't have an amplifier build into them. The speakers need to be connected to an Amplifier. Then you only need run a cable from the Line Level output of the Sound Card to a Line Level input of the amplifier. The amplifier could be a device called a Receiver. The cable would typically have an Eighth Inch Male Stereo Phone Plug on one end and two Monaural RCA Male plugs on the other end. The cable is readily had at Radio Shack for $5 or so.

Re: Blank CD/R recommendations, please
Daniel, I think most main stream brands should work well. You don't necessarily have to buy those formulated especially for music. Any old data cd will work if you're creating from the computer.. I've used, TDK, Memorex, Fuji, Imation, Sony and many others. You may want to decide if you want a spindle (without jewle cases) or a stack with jewel cases, either thin or regular. If you get a spindle, be aware that often the first and last disk are often a clear plastic one for protection of the disks and does not record. It can freak one out. The next question will be, how to do cd covers or track listings? If you get any good tips, let us all know. I haven't found a program with which I am comfortable yet.

Re: Blank CD/R recommendations, please
Thanks to everyone who's responding to this question of mine. Please understand that I didn't think I needed to buy a type of CD that was advertised as being for music specifically. I had done some basic homework in order to understand disc capacity and write speed, and really just wanted to hear people's brand preferences, if any. Not surprised that a number of brands, some of them long familiar as makers of audiotape (such as Maxell, TDK, etc.) as well as some products whose names I'd never heard (Ination, for example) were all good. I just didn't know if there were some really inferior things out there, as once was the case with blank audiocassette tape. Again, thanks to all, and waiting to hear what RIA means and what it has to do with stand-alone CD recording devices.

Re: Blank CD/R recommendations, please
generally the cd's will be on the side you want to record on. so when you remove it from the spindle or package or whatever you buy them in, do not turn them over to the other side or you'll have nothing but problems. So, just place them in the drive on the side they're on. treat them as you would any other cd.

Re: Blank CD/R recommendations, please
The business side of a CD is the side that is flush with the jewel case. If you hold the CD in your hand by the edge then with the index finger of the other hand you reach to the center of the disk and drag your finger slowly towards the edge about an inch an a half or so from the center you may or may not encounter a smooth or sharp ridge.

Re: Blank CD/R recommendations, please
I don't know if this message was in response to me, particularly, but I just wanted to say that how a CD sits in a jewel box depends on how someone sticks it in there, except when you buy a new music CD and open it for the first time, where of course the recorded side is down and the label side is up. I was hoping to add the textural distinction to my low vision method of holding the disc under a light and distinguishing the matte-finish side (or "label" side, in the case of a commercial CD) from the shiny side, which is the encoded side. But you're saying that not all CDs have a bit of a ridge on the encoding side? I guess that's not necessarily going to help me do it without my eyes, then. If I'm wrong, please explain. But it sounds as if you're saying a CD doesn't necessarily have that ridge, only sometimes. Daniel - Original Message - From: "Jerry Richer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: speakers for computer
Last october, from Best Buy, I bought a set of computer speakers made by GE. I don't know the model number, but they're called, GE Ultra-sonic 2.1. I didn't need surround sound, with six speakers and subwoofer. This set has the box containing the subwoofer with jacks in the back for two speakers, power supply, and there's a headphone jack that works well. I find it very handy. The speakers are quite small but produce a very good sound with as much volume as anyone should want. The speakers are sort of dome shaped. Audio quality and frequency range are very good. They cost me around forty dollars after sales tax and what-not. There are three little knobs centered near the top of the subwoofer box for on/off, volume and treble/bass. Hope this is helpful.

This set has the box containing the subwoofer with jacks in the back for two speakers, power supply, and there's a headphone jack that works well. I find it very handy. The speakers are quite small but produce a very good sound with as much volume as anyone should want. The speakers are sort of dome shaped. Audio quality and frequency range are very good. They cost me around forty dollars after sales tax and what-not. There are three little knobs centered near the top of the subwoofer box for on/off, volume and treble/bass. Hope this is helpful.

dvd rewritable reliability
Just how reliable are dvd rewritables compared to cdrws, which I have always found problematic? Cris Hall -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Re: Blank CD/R recommendations, please
I think I got a spindle of 50 CD's. I'm not sure exactly how many of those are left. I guess you can probably get around 50 for between $10 and $20 U.S. - Original Message - From: "russell Bourgoin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Blank CD/R recommendations, please
The rougher side should be on top, and the smoothe side should be on the bottom. - Original Message - From: "Paul Hutson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

I am VERY new at this too. Or is there a smooth side and a rough side on the CD? Forgive me if this a dumb question but I'd like to save myself a little trouble. Thanks for your help.

You don't necessarily have to buy those formulated especially for music. Any old data cd will work if you're creating from the computer.. I've used, TDK, Memorex, Fuji, Imation, Sony and many others. You may want to decide if you want a spindle (without jewle cases) or a stack with jewel cases, either thin or regular. If you get a spindle, be aware that often the first and last disk are often a clear plastic one for protection of the disks and does not record. It can freak one out. The next question will be, how to do cd covers or track listings? If you get any good tips, let us all know. I haven't found a program with which I am comfortable yet.

Re: Blank CD/R recommendations, please
I've been cruising sites like amazon.com, best buy and others, and see that there's an enormous variety of blank cd/r products out there. I understand the importance of most of the specifications of a CD, such as its capacity. But what about the write speed? I'm pretty sure my CD/DVD drive is rated at a maximum wwrite speed of 52x, but does this mean I'm short-changing myself or inconveniencing myself in some way (or even burdening my system or burning program in some way) if I don't get discs of the fastest speed? Does it particularly matter? If I don't use 52x, is it as if I'll have to sit there all day waiting for one CD to finish being recorded? Why are there so *many* different write speeds? What were they all intended for? 1x, 4x, 16x, 32x, 48x, 52x-- what's all this about? Does anyone understand how there came to be so many types at this point, and what's best to buy?
