Anapod messes up my ipod
Hello, I'm trying anapod explorer, and despite disconnecting it in the way described in the documentation, I lose everything, and have to re-initialize the ipod. It is a shame, because the program is good, and I'd rather not use itunes. Thanks, David. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

StationPlaylist and Shoutcast Problem
Season's greetings all, Some of you may recall previous posts I've made to the list about StationPlaylist Creator and Studio and the use of them at the reading service for the blind where I work. Our reading service uses StationPlaylist Studio 4.23 and the free included Nullsoft Shoutcast DSP plug-in--with "Winamp" input set on it (even though we're using Studio, not Winamp)--to Shoutcast our programming over our very own private, in-house Shoutcast server, which runs on the same Windows XP SP3 server computer as Creator/Studio. Our Shoutcast stream is the only means through which we can get our programming to our affiliate stations--an FM subcarrier and two cable television information channels. Things hummed along OK for a while; my co-workers and I hit some bumps along the way but those got fixed. We broadcast four or five hours of local programming (with reruns later in the day), and then we pull in a stream provided by a nationwide reading service in New York, New York. (Some of you might be familiar with this service. ) All goes well during the airing of the local programming. However, recently, during the time we're refeeding the nationwide service, we have hit what we feel has become a major problem for us, our affiliates and most of all our listeners: Without any warning whatsoever--could be in the wee small hours of some mornings up through after 7:00 (as was the case for the past two weekends) or during broad daylight (as was the case just minutes ago)--the StationPlaylist Studio Engine freezes. I get to the station the next time I can get in, I take a look at the Studio log for the day we went down, and the log says "Studio Engine timed out", then "Too many timeouts, terminating engine, engine terminated". Then almost immediately the stream somehow starts back up again, but meanwhile the connection between us and our affiliate stations had been closed. Then my co-worker and/or I have to scramble to notify our affiliates' engineers of the problem and tell them to bring our stream back up again on their stations. Meanwhile, until the engineers do bring us back up on their stations, we're off the air. When our stream comes back up after a Studio engine freeze, a top-up track is played. As I mentioned, this problem simply happens without warning, during the time we refeed the national service. Below I'll give you the specs of our automation server computer. Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3 40-gig hard drive with over a gig of RAM (don't know how much exactly) Sigmatel on-board soundcard computer is wired to control board and patch bay StationPlaylist private Nullsoft Shoutcast Server with six listener capacity and streaming 64KBPS mono (two "listeners" are connected at any time to get our stream) Scheduler/Studio Version 4.23 Nullsoft Shoutcast DSP and SQRSoft Compressor/Limitor used by StationPlaylist Studio Any ideas on what could be causing the above problem and how one can go about solving it would be oh-so-greatly appreciated. You can email me at jimhun...@comcast.net. You can Skype me at jimhunt76. (If you're really nice and your suggestion helpful, I might even email you a little thank-you/Happy Holidays gift.)

Re: Instructions for Setting time/date and the Timers on Olympus DS andDM series machines
Saving this info in my Main Menu folder. Why that folder? Because with your kind permission I plan to do a demo of setting the date and time on the DM-520 as well as using the sonority software once I get comfortable with it. I will probably generally give credit to this list since there are several people who have contributed information about this player if you all don't mind. - Original Message - From: "Tim Noonan" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 1:37 AM Subject: Instructions for Setting time/date and the Timers on Olympus DS andDM series machines The following information is taken - and updated by me - from a FAQ on the Olympus DS-50 found on their web site at http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_support_faqs.asp?id=1278#30 ***How can the blind and visually impaired set the time and date? The recorders' built-in audio cues can be used to enter the Time & Date settings. These same cues can be used to set Timer Recording and Alarm functions as well. Using the Keypad When executing a menu function that requires time and date setting, use the buttons on the recorder's four-way keypad to enter the settings. The settings are hour, minute, month, day, and year. Press the PLUS (UP) and MINUS (DOWN) buttons, respectively to increase and decrease the values. Press the REWIND (LEFT) and FAST FORWARD (RIGHT) buttons to move between variables. Press the OK/MENU button to complete the set-up and start the clock. Depending on the year of release for the machine, Each time and date variable has a baseline value, from which it is possible to calculate the number of times the PLUS (UP) or MINUS (DOWN) buttons must pressed to reach a particular value. On the DS-50, The baseline settings for hour, minutes, month, day, and year are respectively 12 AM, 00, 1M, 1D, and 2007Y. On the DM-520, the settings work the same, however the default year is 2009 rather than 2007, because the DM-520 wasn't released until 2009. I haven't properly explored, but I imagine the DS-71 will default to 2009 as well. The values appear on the recorder screen as shown below: When setting time and date variables the recorder emits distinct audio cues to determine that the variables are being changed. Pressing the PLUS (UP) button causes the recorder to emit a high-pitched beep. Pressing the MINUS (DOWN) button elicits a low-pitched beep. When a baseline value is reached from either direction, the audio cue becomes a chirp. The DS-50 (and others) digital voice recorder has a Voice Guide that speaks the menu items. However, it cannot speak the time and date or file names. When the DS-50 recorder is turned on for the first time , the Voice Guide function is enabled. If the Voice Guide is disabled, use the following steps to enable it: 1.Turn the recorder on by sliding the POWER/HOLD button downward. 2.Launch the menu by holding down the OK/MENU button in the center of the four-way keypad for 1 second. 3.Press the MINUS (DOWN) button 13 times to arrive at the Voice Guide setting in the menu. 4.Press the FAST FORWARD (RIGHT) button on the keypad twice. 5.Press the OK/MENU button in the center of the keypad once to enable the Voice Guide. 6.Press the REWIND (LEFT) button on the keypad once to return to the menu. Note that Details for activating the voice guidance on other machines, will differ. ***Setting the Time and Date 1.on the DS-50, If the Voice Guide has just been enabled and returned to the menu, press the MINUS (DOWN) button 7 times to arrive at the Time & Date setting. The Voice Guide will speak, "Time and Date Setting." 2.If the menu on the DS-50 has been newly opened, press the PLUS (UP) button four times to arrive at the Time & Date setting. [If you are using a different model, such as the DM-520 or DS-71, get to the time and date settings, and follow the below steps.] 3.Press the FAST FORWARD (RIGHT) button to open the Time & Date menu. The first variable to set is the hour. Press the PLUS (UP) button or MINUS (DOWN) button until the recorder chirps instead of beeps. The chirp means the hour variable has been set to 12 AM. 4.Press the PLUS (UP) button the number of times necessary to arrive at the correct hour value. Remember: The baseline value for hour is 12 AM. Therefore the first 11 button presses represent AM values. It may be quicker to press the MINUS (DOWN) button and count backward from 12 AM if the correct time is a PM value. 5.Press the FAST FORWARD (RIGHT) button to move to the minute variable. Press the PLUS (UP) or MINUS (DOWN) button until the recorder chirps instead of beeps. The chirp means the minute variable has been set to the baseline value of 00. 6.Press the PLUS (UP) button the number of times necessary to arrive at the correct minute value. If it would be quicker to count backward to the minute value, the MINUS (DOWN) button can be used to arrive at the correct minute value. 7.Press the FAST FORWARD

RE: setting time on Olympus dm-520 and other findings
Bob, It sounds a lot more advanced than my DS50, but you could set time and date on that, even though there was no speech for these settings. It was a case of counting beeps for hours minutes etc, a double beep when they hit zero. A bit fiddly, but once done, you don't need to worry about it again.

Re: my initial impressions of the turtle Beach Audio Advantage SRM
Hey Chris. Just wondering how you are getting along with that turtle Beach Audio Advantage SRM. I haven't sent for one my self as I didn't feel I needed it now. But, I'm really curious about controlling the 10 band equalizer. Is the software accessible? Bob - Original Message - From: "Chris Skarstad" To: Sent: Friday, May 15, 2009 10:51 PM Subject: my initial impressions of the turtle Beach Audio Advantage SRM A while ago, I had asked about buying an external sound card, and I eventually chose the Turtle Beach Audio Advantage SRM. This card is tiny, weighing in only a few ounces, and it kind of looks like a cigarette lighter at first glance. It has 4 audio jacks 2 on each end of the card, the ones I've paid the most attention to are the microphone, and the headphone jack, which are on the same end. This card also sports 2 stereo mics, a green LED light that blinks when audio is present, and stays solid when none is playing. So if you have some usable sight this might take a bit of getting used to. I have a set of speakers hooked up to the card which handles my music and windows sounds, and I have Window-eyes 7.01 routed to my laptop's internal Sigmatel card. So I now have 2 sets of speakers instead of one.This allows me to have more control over the volume of each one. I have 2 volume controls to use now, but if I want to hear the speech over the music more, it's easier for me, because I can keep the music at the same level now. As far as instalation goes, I had another friend of mine helping me, and we learned a somewhat valuable lesson that I'm sure most people probably know either through just being technically savvy, or having the same experience we had. If you're going to install this card, be sure to hook the card *directly* into your laptop or desktop's USB ports, do not use a USB hub. If you do, the driver's won't install properly, because the card can't draw enough power. The card is recognized, but not to the same point as it would be via a regular straight USB connection. So make sure you have a free USB port handy. To install it, we first inserted the cd that came with the card. If you're using window-eyes, you'll have to use your mouse pointer, numpad plus pressed twice, and then you use your numpad 2 and 8 keys to arrow down to where it says setup. At that point, press your left mouse button and the software will install. Then, when prompted, please insert the cable into the card, and the other end into the USB port. You may lose speech after pressing yes at this point, but this can be fixed. It's a good bet that the card is now active, so what you'll need to do is plug a pare of headphones or speakers into the headphone jack. If you hear speech, you're good to go. The headphone jack is located on the top right handside of the card, you'll feel a circular sort of socket or plug with ridges, and just to the right of that, that's your headphone jack. The jack to the left of that one is your microphone jack. When you plug a headset mic or any other mic into that jack, the stereo mics on the card itself are muted, so for the least confusing results, I would say you might want to have something plugged into that jack all the time. Initially, the software tried to install the necessary driver for the card to function properly, but I had to reboot a couple of times to get the process to work properly. Hey, I'm new to this and it was a learning experience. So the driver installed and all, at this point, seems to be working well. As for the SRM control pannel program, it is definitely not very speech friendly, not without a lot of mousing around. and even then, some of the screens look mighty confusing. So the best way to customize things is to probably stick to using the regular Windows volume control. That will allow ou to set things how you want them. Overall, I'm very pleased with the card! The install was a bit touch and go because, as I said we weren't sure why things weren't working but after I remembered that I had been using a hub, and I plugged the card directly into my laptop USB port, that's when things vastly improoved. Hope this helps anyone looking to buy a card like this. Hopefully it'll help you avoid any pitfalls along the way and you'll have your new card up and running in ono time!
