Re: WMP and the seek to slider
I wish I knew a way to move that slider in smaller amounts too. I think the time it jumps depends on the length of the file. I also wish one could use hot keys to move the slider without having to bring focus to the control first. There isn't even a hot key to bring focus to the slider in WMP 10. - Original Message - From: "kevin and emma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Is there such a thing as ablind friendlyplayerthatplaysbothRAXand Wma/drm files?
Oops, what I meant to say is that I thought flashing was completely reversible, meaning that if I decide Rockbox isn't for me any more or the player is starting to head to the point of maybe needing repair that I could put Iriver's software back in and get DRM capability back. It's looking like Ipods are really out of the question now as Itunes 7 must be used to do the updating of the firmware on them. - Original Message - From: "Kathy Szinnyey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Trying Again
Hello, I am trying to burn a CD using Nero 6.x (I'm not sure of the build). The tracks have gaps between them, sometimes in the middle of the audio. Is there a way to get rid of these gaps. I have already selected the option to eliminate silences between tracks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WMP and the seek to slider
hi all, is there a way of being able to move the "seek to" slider in very small sections? by this i mean at the minute, i seem only to be able to move it in 20 minute chunks. (actually until yesterday it was 10 minute chunks which was irritating enough! but it's turned into 20 now and i've no idea why). skipping in 20 minute parts isn't really very useful a lot of the time! anyone got any ideas? i'm using jfw if that helps at all. using a different player for these files isn't an option as it's the mlb.tv archives. kevin (lord L) "Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice." - will durant email/msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

Question about Real Alternative
Anyone out there using this program? It's supposed to be a way to play Realplayer files but I guess easier to use? When I downloaded it, though, it wanted me to uninstall Realplayer, which I was not about to do, having gone through many hoops to install my Realplayer 10.5. Also, since I'm on this subject, is there some plug-in for me to play Realplayer rax files in Winamp? I still don't quite get plug-ins, believe it or not. Thanks for any help you all might have.

Subject: RE: Is there such a thing as a blind friendly player thatplays bothRAXand Wma/drm files? Well, not sure what you want a player to do besides the basics. I have previously used an iRiver flash player, ifp 795, and just 2 days ago got the newer version, T30 512 MB flash player. Both have predictable menus which, if you are good at memorizing the features you want, you can use it pretty effectively. I got one of my kids to change the settings I prefer to always stay the same. But, the feature I most enjoy is the playback speed adjustment. It goes from 0% to 50 percent in 10 percent incriments. It is easy to memorize the sequence of buttons. The features I like changed are: Fast forward and rewind speed increased from 1x to 6x. Study mode turned on: this changes the forward and rewind buttons so that tapping it will not change tracks but will move ahead or back a set number of seconds, like 3 or 10 seconds. Auto power shut off time increased to a longer time period.
