Fwd: National Braille Press Announce Using the Accessible iPod, by Anna Dresner
Prices in this message are in US dollars. -Steve. From:Tony Grima agr...@nbp.org Using the Accessible iPod By Anna Dresner In braille, PortaBook, ASCII text/Word, and DAISY formats, $15 (Also downloadable in PortaBook, ASCII text/Word, and DAISY formats) Cute, well-designed, and able to hold hundreds or thousands of songs, iPods have taken the world by storm. And in the past few months, Apple has added another feature to their popular Nano and Shuffle models -- the ability to speak. Once you take a few simple steps, every feature on the iPod Shuffle and most features on the Nano are completely accessible. iTunes now works better for blind people than ever before, especially the iTunes store. If you're wondering how to take advantage of this new accessibility, Using the Accessible iPod can help. It tells you how to do everything you need to get up and running with one of the new iPods, including: * Getting started with iTunes * Putting the music, playlists, audiobooks and podcasts you want on your computer and into your iPod * Getting your iPod to speak * Using all accessible features of your iPod A troubleshooting section, a list of helpful resources, and information on how your iPod organizes music are also included; see the table of contents for more information. Whether you've never owned an iPod before or you'd like to be able to do more with the one you have, this book will help. The included iPods are the fourth generation Nano and the second and third generation Shuffles. In addition to braille and electronic text, we are proud to offer Using The Accessible iPod in DAISY format, both on CD and for download. (If you choose to download the DAISY version, we recommend that you use a broadband connection, as the file is over 60 MB in length.) Put it in your Victor Reader Stream or other DAISY player, or if you use JAWS, Freedom Scientific has generously arranged for it to work with the demo version of FSReader, so you don't need any new software to listen on your computer or read with a braille display. You can quickly navigate by heading or page to find the section you want. In addition to synthesized audio, the full text is included to make searching or moving through URLs quick and easy.

What are people using ...
... as a headphone amplifier for the week signal that comes from the line-out on their PC sound card to drive headphones with? I've got speakers everywhere, but none have headphone outs. The flea power output from the line-out on my sound card is insufficient to drive a quality pair of 'phones, and all the headphone amps I see out there are these big-mother hundred-dollars-plus things that are way way overkill for my needs, and not portable after all that. Somebody somewhere must know of a box with a few C cells in it that'll do this and do it nicely. Nicely, as in, not too much of a noise floor, silence cut-off for when I forget and fall asleep or just leave the thing around and forget to shut it off, that kind of nicely.

Can it be done? How do I do it?
Hi Folks. I have a question that has been troubling me for some years but never bothered to ask about it but now I think I would like to know if it can be done and how to do it. When you buy a commercial CD; say of a live performance, the disc has track numbers or index points depending on your terminology. Although these track points exist the performance is seamless, in other words if when playing the entire disc, you have no idea you have moved from one track to another. Now, here's my question. When burning a CD how can I get the same effect. Out of interest, I am totally blind and use Nero Express 6.3 with Jaws 8 (hoping to upgrade to Jaws 10 in the next few months). I use Gold wave as my editor and I have express burn, WMA and Nero as my disc burners. I also have Reel player but have never used it to burn discs as I don't know how to. As a general rule though I use Nero Express to burn unless there is a reason I can't. I often use the "no Pause Between Tracks" feature, especially with live recordings where there is no natural blank portions but even with this and with the best will in the world, there is still a slight jump when playing a disc with this feature when playing the entire disc and it moves from one track to another. Does any of the burners/editors I have mentioned allow me to accomplish my aim or do I need to purchase another burner that will and if so, which burners will do this. I hope someone can help and answer a question and a problem that has bothered me for years. Walter. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Gapless Cd creation: Re: Can it be done? How do I do it?
Do hope you don't mind the modification to the subject line. Yes, gapless Cd tracks have never been a problem for me in Nero where, as you probably know, you select CD at once rather than track at once. This gives 0 seconds gap between tracks, except the first one which must have a two second space I believe. I think XPburn, a free piece of software, does this too with a specific option of gapless track creation in it's wizzard. I believe there are JFW scripts for this program and I've a feeling there's also a BCT podcast about it, but wouldn't sware to that. Ray. Ray Walter Ramage wrote: Hi Folks.

Re: Gapless Cd creation: Re: Can it be done? How do I do it?
Hello, if you're dealing with concerts on your hard drive, especially with lossless cd trading, this is a problem that recievers of your discs will thank you for correcting. Depending on how the resultant .wav files are cut, the editing program may not respect the cd track boundaries, as far as how they're made. This is what causes the barely-perceptible split-second gaps between tracks. They're called sector boundary errors. They can be corrected with a command line program called SHNTool, or with another program called Trader's Little Helper. If you'll get a plug-in for your media player which plays files gaplessly, like the gapless plug-in for Winamp, then you can test whether the files actually are seamless when played back. However, there still may be sector boundary errors in the .wav files, even if the files play gaplessly in your media player. This is why you'll need to fix them with the programs I listed above. If you're a Sound Forge user, then you'll definitely need to fix these, since no current version of that program cuts the files on their correct sector boundary. I've asked them to fix this in future versions, so maybe they will. I hope this helps, and sorry if it was a bit technical, but hopefully you can get what you desire. If you've any more questions, just ask. Oh, and if you have files which already have the gaps in them to begin with, then there are programs which try to remove these, with varying degrees of success, like WavTrim. Thanks a lot.

I've always wondered about that. If I take two files that have audiol in them from end to end and try to splice them together, there's always a click, a blip, a something, where the two files are joined, and I always thought that there was some garbage at the end of the first or beginning of the second that you could never cut out completely. Thanks for the explanation. Oh, PS, does Goldwave have this problem, too? To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Re: Gapless Cd creation: Re: Can it be done? How do I do it?
OK, getting really fine and technical here. If you splice files together in Sound Forge, and you hear a click, or you otherwise notice the point at which you've joined the files, then there is something wrong with the .wav files before you've even joined them. You'll need to use a program called WavTrim to fix the two files before you join them. This way, it can look at the ends of each file on either side, trim out any digital garbage, and present you with cleaned-up files which you can then join. Sound Forge's problem is that while splitting the files is fine, and the playback on computer is seamless, when written to cd, the byte allocation data is off, and only when you play back the audio cd will you then hear any clicks, hesitations, or ticks, while the .wav files that still reside on your hard drive play back flawlessly. It's worth it to learn this correctly, because if you trade a concert to someone, and your cd to them has these mistracked errors, and they don't fix them, and then they burn a copy for someone else, more tracking errors occur. Their failure to check this problem results possibly in double errors, and it can go downhill from there. The worst case I've come across is where someone did heaven knows what while making the cds, or five or six people ignored the problems, and actual seconds of audio was lost, which of course couldn't be recovered. OK, I'll stop there, as it might have got a bit nit-picky, but I appreciate the effort when someone presents a well taken care of show, which flows seamlessly, like you're right there in the concert.

RE: Gapless Cd creation: Re: Can it be done? How do I do it?
Hi Mathew. I have joined files together with Gold Wave and It seems fine but I have not burned these files to disc as I am at this point experimenting. However, I have ripped CDs with CDEX as one single track as this was determined by the content. On the CD though there are Track Markers, how do I replicate this with the CD I've just ripped to my hard drive as one large file without actually splitting the track? In addition, I've downloaded such files from other mailing lists and want to burn them to CD but to ad track indexing points but without actually splitting the file into separate distinct files with a discernible join, even if it is almost unnoticeable, I would notice it. Mini discs have the great facility of adding track markers without interfering with the content of the disc. The way around my problem is to record onto MD the album, add the track markers and then burn the resulting disc to a CD with my stand alone Hi-Fi CD writer. The problem with this is there are so many processes, and especially from PC to mini disc as this would have to be via poor quality connecting cables and through a mini jack plug and recorded in real time in analogue. I say poor quality connecting cables because I'm used to using very high quality inter-connects ($500 a pair)on my equipment. I noticed in Nero Express, in the properties of a file to be burned an Indexing tab but I don't know what that does nor how to use it. If it would do what I hope it would then my problem might be solved (once I've cracked how to use it. Walter.) ---Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org]on Behalf Of Matthew Bullis Sent: 04 June 2009 07:03 To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Gapless Cd creation: Re: Can it be done?
