think about it mate, when wibnamp shuts down, no more winamp updates. You'll just have to keep using the version you have now forever, or until there's a version of windows that no longer supports winamp, and the next version won't be out until at least 2015. I'd not upgrade then, until the bugs are out, so another 4 or 5 years of winamp use shall be yours. On 11/21/2013 12:05 AM, Kevin Minor wrote: Hi. Here's something I'm curious about.

Re: ITunes Player
Yes I can understand where you're coming from there, iTunes is not my main player, I use VLC to play CD'S and just about everything else given that VLC allows for better quality audio as it uses its own audio decoders and encoders, can easily play a wider variety of formats etc. Where itunes comes into its own is - as I think you were illuding to - its online integration with the store, Internet Radio, I use the Match and iTunes radio music services often and so forth. It used to be that earlier versions of iTunes supported external plug-ins , at one time you could play FLAC format etc with iTunes but that ability seems to have gone which is a shame, guess the only saving grace that FLAC - being a lossless audio format - can be converted to Lossless M$a format which iTunes will play happily.

Re: The World Ends With The Demise Of Winamp
Dane thinks that all anyone needs is what he needs. I wrote to the list a few months ago asking for a portable recorder that could append and overwrite, and he unhelpfully wrote back that I don't need those features. Apparently he didn't communicate this pearl of wisdom to the makers of ProTools, Sonar, Sound Forge, or any other professional recorder since they all include the ability to append, punch in etc. If only they knew he didn't need these things, they could have saved a lot of time. But if you can get beyond hissnarky attitude, he actually does make some valid points in that post. Total Recorder is an excellent alternative player, and it only costs I think $12 for the standard edition. VLC plays more filetypes than Winamp. I always keep a copy on my system, and whenever I have a file no other player will play, VLC seems to do it. And just because Winamp won't be updated doesn't mean we have to stop using it any time soon. In fact, even newer filetypes might be playable if someone made a plug-in. A couple other good things about Winamp. The Pacemaker plug-in that allows you to change the pitch and/or tempo of a file. I also have a script for customizable rewind and fast forward that allows me to easily jump back and forth by increments of any size from a couple seconds to several minutes by just hitting control plus left or right arrow. Foobar2000 is pretty good. I can't stand iTunes.

Itunes
The last message from Chris got me wondering, what do people think of iTunes match? I use it here all the time and have found it very useful and not just for syncing my music library between 5 computers and 3 IOS devices. Some time ago I was sampling some LP records, I scanned the covers and entered the track names into iTunes, Itunes match then provided me with 256 AAC+ versions of the songs i'd sampled, thought that was rather neat and just showed me that I'd wasted hours of time given that the AAC+ versions were far better quality than anything I could have done smile. You can use iTunes Match with iTunes Radio, this service is very similar to spotify in the way it works. The basic iTunes Radio is supported by advertising and is free but if you subscribe to iTunes match the advertising goes away and you can search/play to your hearts content and purchase where appropriate, if you think your Match subscription is enough then just search for what you want and add it to a playlist for playing at your leisure. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

I wrote to the list a few months ago asking for a portable recorder that could append and overwrite, and he unhelpfully wrote back that I don't need those features. Apparently he didn't communicate this pearl of wisdom to the makers of ProTools, Sonar, Sound Forge, or any other professional recorder since they all include the ability to append, punch in etc. If only they knew he didn't need these things, they could have saved a lot of time. But if you can get beyond hissnarky attitude, he actually does make some valid points in that post. Total Recorder is an excellent alternative player, and it only costs I think $12 for the standard edition. VLC plays more filetypes than Winamp. I always keep a copy on my system, and whenever I have a file no other player will play, VLC seems to do it. And just because Winamp won't be updated doesn't mean we have to stop using it any time soon. In fact, even newer filetypes might be playable if someone made a plug-in. A couple other good things about Winamp. The Pacemaker plug-in that allows you to change the pitch and/or tempo of a file. I also have a script for customizable rewind and fast forward that allows me to easily jump back and forth by increments of any size from a couple seconds to several minutes by just hitting control plus left or right arrow. Foobar2000 is pretty good. I can't stand iTunes. If I didn't have an iPod touch, I wouldn't even have that piece of junk on my PC, although it's not terrible with the blindTunes scripts if you have JFW. - Original Message - From: goshawk on horseback goshawk_on_horseb...@fastmail.co.uk To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2013 3:17 PM Subject: Re: The World Ends With The Demise Of Winamp for a start, whilst you may like all that looking things up and customizing stuff, not everyone does. at least with winamp, the keyboard shortcuts were already there, and could all be found in the menus, with out having to go through all of that looking up stuff. winamp will play so many more different file types/formats than iTunes, plus many more can be added with extra plugins. this is great if one is an obscure format fiend, or has collections of stuff in many different formats, such as mod, xm, s3m for example.

Re: ITunes Player
Well, I'm not in a position to be able to use an audio system. My PC and the headphones I use to listen to music are my audio system. So the only bass and treble controls I have are in whatever player I use to play music. Hence my concern with an equalizer. I do intend to check out iTunes at some point. I've heard many good things about it, but I'm in no hurry. Unless some new audio format comes along with content that I really really want to listen to, or I get a new PC with an OS that doesn't support Winamp, I think I'll stick with it for a while yet.

Exactly so. It isn't as though Winamp is just going to go poof on December 20. I will find another player eventually, but I expect to be using Winamp for a while, maybe quite a while, after the updates stop.

RE: ITunes Player
I don't think you understand; while these players may be accessible, will they allow one to do _all_ the things that Winamp does? Wil they, for example, start listening to a file; then you have to stop in the middle; will they let you go in and pick up right where you left off? Windows Media Player won't; at least as far as I know it won't! Can't speak for some of the others as I've not tried them! But this is my concern as I want to be able to start listening to a show and be able to stop it; then go to the point where I stopped listening later on!

I am not sure how much these two services are though. Listen to the radio via a task called TuneIn radio. Plus so much more!

Itunes certainly has an equaliser though I'm not sure how many bands are featured. This is only me but the playing of files and formats and accessibility is more important to me than equalisers, if worst comes to worst and you're into that sort of thing then you can adjust bass and treble controls on your audio system.

iTunes
Speaking of iTunes, if anyone's interested in finding out more then you can purchase some excellent tutorials on iTunes, one is called Take Control of iTunes, not sure if a Windows version is available but a version for the Mac certainly is and iTunes for Mac and Windows are very similar.

For instance, The Legend Oldies has a link to listen in Winamp and another for iTunes, but they're the same stream.

Enough Has Been Said
Ladies and gentlemen, I think more than enough has been said on the Winamp issue. People are leaving the list and I'm getting complaints about all the unnecessary messages. Also, If there's any more sniping at each other I will ban the offenders from the list. Now you see why I try to keep tight control of topics. When I don't, posts go off in all directions. The pc-audio.org domain name and the hosting site for the list both have to be renewed at the end of December. I pay eighty dollars a year to keep this list going and I'm seriously thinking about not renewing for next year. Before posting a message to the list try to keep in mind that there are around five hundred subscribers so be considerate of them and keep posts on topic and do not post personal messages to another person. If you want to make a comment to just one person, send it directly to that person. Me to and thank you messages are usually beneficial to one or two people which means that four hundred ninety eight people consider your message as nothing more than spam.

RE: DVDS on your Windows7 computer?
If you wangt just the audio, then it's very simpal. DVD Audio extractor. Now, if you're going the rout I believe you're going, then you'll have to use something like hand break. This software can lead us to a really off topic and fillisofical discosion, but the point is that this is the kind of program you'll need to do it if it's a movie. It needs to get passed the keys. CD's are simpal enough because thank goodness the RIAA hasn't really locked them down like the MPAA Has movies. I don't know how accessible hand break or it's other bretheren are. This is why I Toons, Windows media plyer, or anny common software wont back up DVDs. Let's be clear here, you just want to back them up and they are ones you bbought. This is why this can get hard core.

Re: ITunes Player
Yes you can. I don't have iTunes myself, but I've been to sites that have links to listen to streams that are marked iTunes and (often) Winamp, both mentioned for the same stream. For example, you can set your Shoutcast streams to play in iTunes. Sometimes they're mentioned in separate links, but it's the same address. For instance, The Legend Oldies has a link to listen in Winamp and another for iTunes, but they're the same stream. I know because when I click on the link to play the iTunes stream, it plays in Winamp, and the bookmark is the same address.

Re: ITunes Player
I can assure you that iTunes and VLC have Graphic Equalisers in them and I would imagine that Windows Media Player would have similar, some sound cards and the Windows sound system itself usually offer bass and treble controls though how accessible these may be can very much depend on the sound card you're using. Only me of course but when I'm listening through headphones I've certainly never found it necessary to use an equaliser, flat is good enough but I appreciate that everyone is different. On 22/11/2013 3:38 AM, Evan Reese wrote: Well, I'm not in a position to be able to use an audio system. My PC and the headphones I use to listen to music are my audio system. So the only bass and treble controls I have are in whatever player I use to play music. Hence my concern with an equalizer. I do intend to check out iTunes at some point. I've heard many good things about it, but I'm in no hurry. Unless some new audio format comes along with content that I really really want to listen to, or I get a new PC with an OS that doesn't support Winamp, I think I'll stick with it for a while yet.

Restating my questions was RE: Getting Winamp from Ninite.com was RE: Where do you get WinampPro? was RE: Winamp Shutting downonDecember20, 2013
Hi. I think people aren't understanding what I'm asking. I know Winamp will keep working after AOL stops supporting it. I have two things I'm wondering about. First, will it still be able to be retrieved from Ninite? When I got the updater for Winamp from Ninite, and I updated Winamp with it, it reported that Winamp was being downloaded. Where is this download coming from? If from the Ninite site, and there isn't any copyright issue with Winamp, then there should be no problem getting it that way. If Ninite is retrieving the update from the Winamp site, then it won't work anymore. Second, does AOL control the database Winamp uses for auto tagging? If not, then this feature should still work. If AOL does control this database, and they consider it a service for Winamp, this feature may not work after December 20. I hope this explains what I'm wondering about. I got the Winamp installer, so if I have to reformat this hard drive I still have a good copy to use to install it. We'll see what happens after December 20. Have a great day, and don't work too hard. Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY kmi...@windstream.net To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Re: The World Ends With The Demise Of Winamp
for a start, whilst you may like all that looking things up and customizing stuff, not everyone does. at least with winamp, the keyboard shortcuts were already there, and could all be found in the menus, with out having to go through all of that looking up stuff. winamp will play so many more different file types/formats than iTunes, plus many more can be added with extra plugins. this is great if one is an obscure format fiend, or has collections of stuff in many different formats, such as mod, xm, s3m for example. I really don't see why you have to be so very harsh on those of us who like winamp! there is really no need for that sort of attitude.

For example I've just looked up Windows Media Player Keyboard Shortcuts using my friend Google and discovered over 200 keyboard shortcuts. I know VLC has hundreds of the damn things and even more if you're prepared to take a few moments to customise the software. I'm yet to find what iTunes doesn't do that Winamp does. The interface is different and takes a little getting used to I admit. If you're prepared to spend a small amount of money you can buy one of the most exciting pieces of audio software for the Windows PC to ever have been invented on the planet and that's Total Recorder, the player is incredibly powerful even for the Standard Edition. And finally, supposing Winamp is a spent force come December 20 then there's nothing at all stopping anyone from using the software if they see fit though that may mean that the software won't be able to play any audio/video formats that come our way in the future.

If you're prepared to spend a small amount of money you can buy one of the most exciting pieces of audio software for the Windows PC to ever have been invented on the planet and that's Total Recorder, the player is incredibly powerful even for the Standard Edition. And finally, supposing Winamp is a spent force come December 20 then there's nothing at all stopping anyone from using the software if they see fit though that may mean that the software won't be able to play any audio/video formats that come our way in the future. As I said, much ado about nothing and Joy To The World come December 20, so fitting that this event is so close to Christmas Day smile.

Wil they, for example, start listening to a file; then you have to stop in the middle; will they let you go in and pick up right where you left off? Windows Media Player won't; at least as far as I know it won't! Can't speak for some of the others as I've not tried them! But this is my concern as I want to be able to start listening to a show and be able to stop it; then go to the point where I stopped listening later on! If these other players will do
Re: ITunes Player
Yes iTunes works brilliantly under Windows now than it ever has. I just do not use it as a player but rather as an online catalogue for anything audio and to import CDs which I later play in Winamp.

People mention Fubar, but I've never tried it, so I don't know how accessible it is compared to Winamp. Maybe the reason are hooked on Winamp, is because of the Winamp keystrokes that people find accessible. - Original Message - From: Tom Kaufman tomca...@comcast.net To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2013 12:09 AM Subject: RE: ITunes Player Windows Media is pretty accessible.

I also forgot to mention Windows Media Player, there are a few little things I don't like about it such as it not having support from FLAC audio for some strange reason but the software is very accessible.

Convert .mkv file
I have a .mkv file and want to create an mp3 out of it. I have tried Freemake video converter and Format Factory. both start and convert less than a minute then quit. Can anyone suggest a way I can convert this file? Thanks, Dean To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: Convert .mkv file
I put convert mkv mp3 in to startpage and got a lot of results, but don't know which one works best. There are apparently a lot of converters out there though. And of course, you could always just play the file and record it with another program like Total Recorder. - Original Message - From: Dean Masters dwmaster...@gmail.com To: PC Audio Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2013 11:34 PM Subject: Convert .mkv file I have a .mkv file and want to create an mp3 out of it.
