Hi Alan.

Wonder if this CD has some copy protection?  Have you been able to rip this
CD as WAV successfully?

The only time I've come across this is with copy protected CD's where I've
been unable to rip at all using CDEX.

Regards and looking forward to the Oval.

Accessible Automation Programs

2005-08-30 Thread Mari Dole
Hello Everyone, 

I work as a volunteer for an internet radio reading service, and we
would like to be able to schedule programming which we have recorded
live, such as the local newspaper, which we broadcast in the morning,
for repetition later in the day. Is there any accessible software which
would allow a totally blind person to do this? We would also like to do
other program scheduling as well. 

Thank you for any help.

digit voice recorders

2005-08-30 Thread Clifford Blackwell
Hello list,

I am seeking recommendations for digital voice recorders for recording
contested case hearings before an Administrative Law Judge.  The
recorder should be easy to operate, have good  voice sound quality ifor
a room that is about 20 by 30 feet.  The files will need to be downable
for archival purposes.  Hearings may run from about 1 hour to 40 hours
over several days.  For hearings over about an hour or so, I assume we'd
want something that uses some sort of memory card from which files can
be downloaded for storage and for public records purposes.

Storage of files in .mp3 or .wav formats would be preferable.

Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

How many megs would a CD take up?
Also, what are smaller or better, wma files or mp3 files?

Hi Jim.  There are 650 megabites on a 74-minute CD, and 700 megabites on an 
80-minute CD.  There is a thousand megabites to a gigabyte.  With audio 
CD's, you could put over 80 CD's on an 80-gigabyte harddrive, but with MP3 
CD's, a whole lot more.  Hope this helps!

iriver ifp 899 not showing up as a drive in my computer

2005-08-30 Thread Chris Skarstad
Hi all!
Well today I got an iRiver iFP-899 and installed the music manager software 
and downloaded the most recent firmware for the 800 series, at least that's 
what it says.  So I let the upgrade process complete, and the player 
powered off.

This upgrade is supposed to let the player show up as a drive in my 
computer, in my case it would probably be drive g.  However, when I closed 
the music manager software and powered the player back on, windows 
definitely recognizes the device, but it's not showing up as a drive. The 
only way I can see the folders like record and voice, is if I launch the 
music manager.  The driver and the software all seem to show up ok under 
the device manager and everything checks out accept for this.  Can anyone 
tell me how I might resolve this? i would really rather not use that stupid 
music manager.
Thanks.

Re: gigs, megs, megabytes

2005-08-30 Thread JG

How many megs are in a gig, and with 80 gigs, how many CDs can I put on the
hard drive.
at the risk of sounding a bit pedantic, 1 gb is just under 1100 mb.  You 
must remember that your 80gb drive needs to be formatted before it's 
ready  for storing data. From personal experience the formatting data in 
itself could take up to 5 percent or more of disk space.


How many megs would a CD take up?
That depends on the length of the CD.   the average length of a pop or rock 
CD is usually around the 60 minutes mark but that could vary hugely with 
live recordings. The approximate conversion ratio is 1 mb per minute.

Re: gigs, megs, megabytes

2005-08-30 Thread R Q J
Hi Jim,
Roughly speaking, 1000mb to 1gb, and the available space on your 80gb hard
drive is less than 80gb.
How many songs will depend on the size of the files, and I personally prefer
mp3 over WMA.
So you will have to do a little math to see how many songs it will take to
fill that disk.
Keep in mind, not a good idea to completely fill a disk, some maintenance
utilities will not work if there is less than 15 percent of free space
