Has something changed with amazon.com/mp3?

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

 

I just went to http://amazon.com/mp3 and I tried to download a song.  The
site reported it wasn't available.  I then typed in a current song that I
know is around, and I got the same results.  What's going on?

 

Thanks for any help you can give.

Re: Wireless Stereo Speakers recommendations Please?

[Victoria Vaughan]

Thanks Olusegun for your site recommendation! From there I chose BIC AMERICA 
DV32-B 3.5 in. Bookshelf Speakers - Black - Bookshelf Speakers


They are approximately 7 inches high and 4 inches wide. I wanted to go as 
small as I could get good sounding wireless speakers. I'll let you all know 
how they sound, if you want.


Again Thank you all for answering my plea for help! Vicky

Hello Victoria:

Check out a variety wireless speakers at:

http://www.4homespeakers.com

They seem to have some interesting wireless speakers' varieties.  I am 
planning on picking one up for use at my retail store.  The WES3200DUO has 
been recommended from a chat with someone in their tech support.  Based on 
some descriptions I read, these speakers have a range of 150 feet to 300 
feet.  There are so many varieties to look at although, like Radio Shack, 
one can't really hear how they sound until one gets a chance to give them 
a test drive.


Hope the above is somewhat helpful.  Many thanks!!

Sincerely,
Olusegun

RE: Is possible to convert a file .wpl to a .mp3 file? a

[Rishi D Mack]

WPL is a playlist file. Like windows media playlist file or winamp playlist
file. So it only contains the information for the media player where to get
the file from to play and the address. But it's not an actual mp3 or any
kind of media file. It's just some information for the media player to read

Extract Audio Out Of Video Files Losslessly And Fast

Updated May 16, 2011 - 12:10 by arto65

Extract the Audio Stream from a Video

When you want to save the audio stream from a video, there is only one way 
to do it right: demux. Demuxing means splitting up the different streams 
from
a file. This way, you keep the streams in their original quality and it is 
very fast (less than a minute for 90 minutes of video).

So please, next time you want to save audio from a YouTube video, do not 
convert it to mp3 or use a website to give you a link. Download the video in

the
highest quality possible with tools such as Video DownloadHelper, then 
extract the audio.

A very good tool to extract the audio is Pazera Free Audio Extractor

http://www.pazera-software.com/products/audio-extractor/

it supports almost every format possible, and it can go through a batch of 
files with no problem. To demux, choose the "Try extract original audio 
stream"
option from the drop-down list of Output Format. If the audio stream is too 
big (.wav file for example) or in a format that is not supported by your mp3
player (.ac3...), you can ask Pazera Free Audio Extractor to convert it 
directly for you.

http://www.pazera-software.com/products/audio-extractor/

Now you know how to properly handle that task, whether you want to save a 
track from a concert DVD or get sounds from a video for a remix. You can 
download
Pazera Free Audio Extractor on this page:

http://www.pazera-software.com/products/audio-extractor/

No installation is required, just unzip the download and run the executable.

Hi everyone, as you can tell from my subject, I am looking for any 
recommendations you all might have for me for 2 sets of wireless Stereo 
speakers.



My stereo receiver has already worked with a wireless set in my bedroom 
and a wirered set in my livingroom, where the receiver is.




Now, do to a rearrangement of my livingroom furniture, I would like to 
put speakers at either end of my couch, across the room from the 
receiver.




These speakers will be near an outlet, so power will be no trouble, they 
won't be running on batteries.  They just won't be hooked into my stereo 
as they are now.




Do you think that having 2 sets of wireless speakers will be a problem?



RadioShack has several wireless speakers for sale on their website:

www.radioshack.com

But how am I to choose? I can't listen to them online or in the store, 
since these are just online items.




Any thoughts or suggestions, will be greatly appreciated! Vicky



The other set will be in my bedroom to either side of the head of my bed.

 You could be right about that  Gary. It doesn't seem like there are
very
 many headset microphones recommended for voice recognition.



 I'm doing lots of research, but want to narrow the possibilities down
 before I go to a store. Also, most of the stores carry microphones for
 musicians and sound reinforcement. Not for voice recognition.

Tabletop Radio sets

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

I've been lucky enough to have been able to test 2 of the Sangean 
Tabletop FM/AM tabletop radios - mantle radios if you like - and thought 
I'd get back to the list with some information on both since there seems 
to be some interest in this sort of radio.


Firstly, we're not talking "portable radio" here, these are radios which 
are designed to be used on a table, mantle piece, shelf and so on and on 
a table or shelf is where they sound there absolute best.


Both the Sangean models I have are inclosed in wooden cabinets so this 
gives them a sound of their own, - if you're old enough to remember many 
of the old valve units then you'll have some idea of the sound quality 
i'm referring to here.


Both radios have a 3 inch heavy magnet type speaker, again you may not 
think this much and if you think that then be prepared to be very 
pleasantly surprised and overwhelmed, these speakers have been tuned to 
the wooden cabinet plus there's a bass port at the back of each unit to 
take full advantage of this.


Sound quality is excellent along with quality of reception, the analogue 
tuning unit is a little more sensitive than the digitally tuned set but 
performance of the digitally tuned set is still very good and far 
superior to many radio sets available on the market today but then 
again? Well anyone who knows Sangean products would expect a good receiver.


Both sets have external antenna terminal for FM and AM and both have 
built-in antennas for these bands.


The analogue set is simple, just 3 knobs on the front which are a 3 
position selector which selects between power off/FM/AM, a volume 
control and a tuning knob, a very nice feeling and precise! tuning knob.


The digitally tuned unit obviously is a little more complex but still 
very useable, it contains an alarm clock with buzzer option, facilities 
to take advantage of the Radio Data System, 5 memory presets for each 
band etc, bass and treble controls etc.


Both sets have the following extra connections, line out, line in, 
headphones and a 9-15V DC input jack which makes them extremely versatile.


The digitally tuned set is able to set its clock automatically thanks to 
the Radio Data System, another benefit to those of us who can't see the 
screen.


Both sets will work in stereo mode if used through the headphones or 
line out socket.


There are other Sangean Tabletop models and I hope to try another soon, 
that being the Tabletop Stereo unit which has a slot loading CD player 
wich is compatible with MP#/WMA data files as well as standard audio 
CD'S, has facilities for memory cards and USB memory sticks and - well 
so I'm told - can record as well, I'll know in a few weeks.


Finally, I could talk more about the digitally tuned set and its 
features and I've deliberately refrained from doing that as to keep this 
email short and hopefully interesting .


In Australia you can find these radios at  
and if you're in the U.S. then consult  for a 
list of dealers, CCrane Company at  also sells 
these radio sets.
