RE: Goldwave markers editing and playing
Hi Peter. I had a similar problem a couple of months ago. Not the exact problem but very similar. I at one time had no problem with markers until suddenly, out of the blue things went wrong. I eventually discovered that each time I launched Gold Wave I needed to Maximize it. I never had to do that before but now I do and when I do things go smoothly as they did before. I'm not saying this is your problem but it might help. Walter. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org]on Behalf Of Peter Alan Smith Sent: 01 May 2009 23:17 To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Goldwave markers editing and playing Greetings! I have been out of the loop since my hard-drive crashed a month ago. But I am slowly on the mend. One thing in Goldwave is really perplexing me. I must have hit a set of keys that changed a setting, but I don't know how to get back to my original settings. When editing a file in GW, I move the start markers to where I think the sound trimming should be done. I hit the home key to move the cursor to the start marker. I then hit play to start my editing. But lately it seems as if the placement of start and finish markers is just ignored. I will hit play and while I expect the sound to commence with the new start marker, it resumes where the cursor was left originally. This has never happened before and I wonder what I have done to get into this mess. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Suggestions on a player please:
Hi Steve. Yes your right of course and I wish there was a small utility to just convert the bm file to a real playlist. While the solution Chris suggests isn't a bad one it doesn't eliminate the work of combining each separate lplaylist file created with Chris's aproach in to a real playlist. Yes I could keep them all in a folder and use file manager to click on each different playlist file but I want a solution that just creates a real playlist that gets appended to by the mere press of a key combination such as when adding a bookmark. Well I have beaten this thread to death at this point and may just write the winamp authors with the suggestion. Not a big deal its not the end of the world.

Re: Goldwave markers editing and playing
Dean, Gary and Walter, thanks for the helpful replies! The scroll lock in the view menu was indeed unchecked. It's fairly likely that I did control l. Maybe I was trying to open a file in winamp... I'm sure everyone has inadvertently done such things. Goodness knows I will do them again. It is also true that maximizing screens helps. Thanks again!

Re: Suggestions on a player please:
Sorry, but I haven't been paying attention to this thread, so I don't know if this is the answer or not, but it looks like Jamal Mazrui's FileDir application, which you can get at http://www.empowermentzone.com/dirsetup.exe, supports the creation of playlists. Here's what it says in the documentation: Use the Play List command, Control+Shift+L, to create a .m3u file with references of tagged items to play sequentially. Types may include .mp3, .wav, or .cda (the extension of a track on a standard audio CD). FileDir prompts for the name of the play list to create, defaulting to PlayList.m3u in the current directory. Focus is then placed on that file (if in the same directory), so you can simply press Enter to execute the play list. Note that if you want to play tracks on an audio CD, however, you need to save the play list in another directory that permits the creation of new files. Don Breda wrote: Hi Steve.

Re: LineIn Recording won't stay Selected for Soundblaster Audigy
Hi Unfortunately I do not have an answer for you but I am interested to see that you are using an Audegy 2NX. Is this the external card, are you using it with jaws and if so how does it react? I tried one but it made jaws speak peculiarly and when I played music it acted like a CD that was jumping. I still have an Audegy 2Nx which I would really like to connect up to my 7.1 system. Are you able to use the remote. I have asked on Access UK and also on this group but had no response. Hope you get your problem sorted. Cheers Brian - Original Message - From: Dale E.

Trouble accessing the iTunes store
Greetings all. I was wondering if anyone else is having trouble searching the iTunes store. When I try, I get a message stating that the operation has timed out and that I need to check my network settings. The store loads into either Window-Eyes or Jaws with Brian Hartgen's scripts but I still can't do a search. This actually worked once today but has failed on every other attempt. I am not sure if the problem is on my end or if the iTunes store is being slow today.

Burning a CD in Windows Media Player 11
Ok. Probably the stupid question of the day or perhaps the week. In WMP10, the CD option was on the files menu. I just upgraded to WMP11 and was going to burn a couple of files into an audio CD but now cannot find the burn option. Where is it? I do have the Classic Menues enabled if that makes a difference and I am running xp Home and Window-Eyes 7.01. If you ask me after what fashion I mould my life, and what is the model by which I would sculpture my being, I tell you, it is Christ.

external sound card for my laptop
Hi guys Like the subject says, I've got this Asus laptop, and I'm looking at getting an external sound card, preferably USB that will allow me to, among other things, use the what u hear, or stereo mix option so I can record external devices like a tape deck or something similar, or in other cases, allow me to record software speech so that I can review a program and send it to somewhere like blind cool tech or put it on my own podcast feed. I realize one of the Creative Audigy, or possibly a turtle beach card will let me do this, so I'm aware that it can be done. The thing is, I'd like to be able to do the instalation of the software independently, I understand that when you hook up sound cards and other audio devices, windows takes that to mean that you want that new device to be the default card, and I'd like to be able to get it installed without sighted assistance...I've never done this before so it's something new to me. I've also heard that some of the instalation programs for these cards aren't the easiest to use with a screenreader. So if anyone has any thoughts or recommendations of a card that's easy to install and does everything I like, that would be awesome! Thanks.
