Re: creative zen stone
I've only personally played with two players running Rockbox, but they were both equal with respect to navigating menus, , folders and managing your MP3 files. I would think that all players running Rockbox would be equivalent in this respect. The only differences I would see would be the controls of the player themselves. My iRiver has a slide bar and my Sansa has a scroll wheel. John Chilelli wrote: Hey everyone, I need an mp3 player for carrying around my school notes that I need to review regularly. They are all in an mp3 format. In your appreciated opinions, which of the Rockbox supported players offer the most robust Rockbox accessibility to menues, folders and various mp3 file management. Thanks so much, John At 12:09 AM 3/14/2009, you wrote: True, Rockbox isn't supported on the Zen Stone. As far as Creative Lite is concerned, maybe the author of those JFW scripts will update them to work with JFW 10. Do you still have JFW 9? Maybe you could switch back when you needed to run Creative Lite. Rockbox is great, and I occasionally use Creative Lite myself, but IMHO, the Zen Stone is simple enough that it doesn't need Rockbox or Creative Lite for that matter.

Playing DVD films on a PC
Trust this is on topic, but if it isn't then I'll include a link at the end to make it easier to email me off-list. A friend wants to play DVD films on her PC - running Windows XP Home and latest version of JFW I believe. I've advised installing Windows Media Player 11 which she says she's done, but she cannot play DVDs still. Whether this is her not knowing exactly how to play DVDs in Windows Media Player, or else not knowing how to get to the play and navigation options, I'm not sure, but help on the use of Windows Media Player for watching/listening to DVD films would be helpful. Finally, is there a program which makes this easier than using Windows Media Player? Many thanks.

Kathy, Which TB card are you rferring to? Like, there is the Monteego, the SantaCruz. Etc, Etc. I have the PCI SantaCruz in one of my PC's and it is the best little card I have ever used with JAWS. Of course the control panel is not very accessible. However, the card is about ten years old and is out of production. You can pick them up cheap on EBay.

Fw: HumanWare Unveils Victor Reader Stream 3.0
FYI. HUMANWARE UNVEILS VICTOR READER STREAM 3.0 [This announcement is displayed in text only for accessibility with Braille Notetakers. A web version with images is available at: http://www.humanware.com/en-canada/about_us/press_releases/2009_press_releases/humanware_unveils_victor_reader_stream_3] Los Angeles California, March 17, 2009 -- Today at the annual CSUN technology conference in Los Angeles, HumanWare announced the latest version of its popular Victor Reader Stream DAISY NISO book player, MP3 player, and voice recorder. The latest release of software for the Stream is version 3.0. It is a free upgrade software for the tens of thousands of users who now enjoy their Stream worldwide. Version 3.0 is a major release packed with new features that continue to distinguish the Stream as the industry leader among pocket size accessible players. Version 3.0 responds to popular requests received from many Stream customers. New features include: • Multi-level bookshelf navigation for Other Books, Podcasts, and Text. Now you can optionally organize these bookshelves into multiple levels of folders and navigate at those levels. • Multi-level folder navigation within Music files. For example, now you could choose to organize your music by levels such as genre, artist, and album and navigate at those levels to more quickly find your desired music. • Further you can now instantly create temporary playlists of any subset of your music collection and limit Random play to only that portion of your music. • Moreover, you can turn random play on or off with a single key press like many commercial MP3 players. • Text Search. Yes, now you can enter words to search for in your text files or text-only DAISY books. • Bookmark alert. You can enable an optional bookmark alert feature to notify you when you are playing a book and pass over a previously bookmarked position. It will even automatically announce your audio bookmarks. • Two text-to-speech voices. The English version of Stream 3.0 will now include both a male and female text-to-speech voice. • A 30 minute Time Jump feature and many other usability improvements have been added. "With the increasing use of 8gb, 16, and even 32gb storage cards, users are managing ever increasing amounts of data on their Stream", says Gerry Chevalier, Victor Reader Product Manager. "With thousands of music files and hundreds of podcasts or text files they have asked us to provide more efficient navigation and version 3 delivers just that." Says Chevalier, "The improved navigation as well as the bookmark alert, text search and other usability improvements in Stream 3.0 renews HumanWare's commitment to our Stream customers that we would continue to enhance the Stream over time to maximize their Stream investment." And there's more. HumanWare is pleased to announce that Stream 3.0 will also be accompanied by a completely new-look Stream Companion software. The new Stream Companion 3.0 Windows software has a completely new menu driven interface, support for the new Bookshare zip format, and more. HumanWare expects to have both the Stream 3.0 and Companion 3.0 available for free download before the end of March.
