or use, Replay Media Catcher 5, Replay Music 5 or Replay Radio to play the file and you will get it in mp3 format.

Re: Restating my questions was RE: Getting Winamp from Ninite.com was RE: Where do you get WinampPro? was RE: Winamp Shutting downonDecember20, 2013
Hi, last post on this from me. this comes I believe from ninite.com but they link to wimamp.com so I doubt there will ever be any more updates. but if in doubt contact ninite. On 22/11/2013 01:36, Kevin Minor wrote: 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.

Re: Itunes
I can understand why that is and its probably not a good idea to play about with your iTunes library with other pieces of software. Not only does iTunes keep the music organised in separate folders - optional - but it also keeps a database of what you've downloaded, what you've bought, what you've imported and so on. It may be that if other pieces of software start fiddling with things then the library becomes out of sync according to the iTunes database.

RE: Itunes
There is, but it's purpose is to bring copies of external music files into iTunes. It doesn't re-examine files iTunes already knows about but may have been moved or changed by Windows or other programs, as, for instance, the Winamp re-scan function does. I think most other players with a library can do that. The lack of it in iTunes is something that has been complained about for years by iTunes users. The suspicion is that Apple keeps it that way to discourage people from using other players and making them stick to iTunes. Many people lose access to lots of their music files and never really realise why because of this.

Audio File Converters
Sorry for those who are already in the know regarding to the Switch Sound File Converter application, I've been using it on the Windows PC for a while so decided to try the Mac version. I was impressed with what I found so decided to buy it. The converter is totally accessible though in parts I had to route the mouse to various buttons and use Vo-Shift-Space to press them but not a huge problem. You can use Switch to extract audio from video files which some on the list may find extremely useful. NCH Software are offering bundles of Applications and Utilities on sale right now so its your big chance to make some huge savings. One of the other Applications I recommend from this company is the excellent Prism video File Converter, its the most stable I've seen and offers more format and settings choices than any other video converter I've used both for Mac and Windows. ** 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

Hi!

Big Sound From Small Footprint
The following will only be of interest to those living outside the U.S. where DAB and DAB+ radio services are available. Yep, another Digital Radio but this one is certainly one of the best I've heard since I started using DAB+ radio sets more than 3 years ago. Added to the great sound is the great price you should be able to find this radio for, I found it for under a hundred Australian dollars. So why is it so cheap? Because the radio sports an older style IOS dock which is no longer supported by the newer Apple IOS devices. This shouldn't present too much of a problem, if you have a device that uses the Lightning connector then you can purchase an adapter or forget about a docking an IOS device completely but whatever takes your fancy this radio still remains in the bargain basket. The Pure Contour is in the shape of a semi circle with speakers either side of a front panel. At the top of the panel is the very large display and below this appears to be a blank piece of plastic but its far from blank, if the left-hand side edge is pushed then the panel rotates 180 degrees to reveal an IOS 30 pin dock connector, press the right-and end of the dock and the Dock spins back to reveal the blank panel, this has to be one of the neatest and koolest docking arrangements I've ever seen on any device sporting an IOS dock. There are few buttons on the radio itself and all are located on the top. A remote controller unit is supplied with the radio which contains controls for all functions. Losing the remote control isn't likely given that a magnetic storage cradle is provided for the controller at the back of the radio. The Pure Contour has very nice crisp treble with good mid range and bass performs strongly thanks to the built-in sub-woffer unit. A sub-woofer in such a small unit comes as a big surprise but its certainly there and does its job quite well. Plenty of volume can be had from this radio given its 10 watts RMS per channel amplifiers so more than enough power to fill a small room. The unit supports both DAB/DAB+ and FM bands as well as the IOS Dock and an Aux-in facility for external devices. A coxial digital out and headphones socket are provided on the back of the radio next to the power input socket. I've not tried setting alarms on this radio yet - it has two of those - but I can tell you that programming presets and so forth is a breeze, just use the up/down buttons to browse to the station you want - using the select button to tune - and then hold down the Favourites button for 5 seconds. Press the Favourites button on its own, use up/down and then the select button to tuen to the selected Favourite in the list. The radio runs on AC power only thanks to a 2.5 Amp 12 Volt output power adapter supplied and will not work on batteries so its designed to be used on a desk, bedside table, kitchen and so on. Is there anything I don't like about this radio? Very little and its well recommended given its excellent sound out of its small footprint, the excellent quality that Pure radios are known for and the excellent price these radios can now be purchased for. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 ** 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

Re: Big Sound From Small Footprint
I'd have to look up specs to find exact frequency's but I think ours are lower than yours but only slightly so I think all DAB+/DAB radios cover all the frequency's you've mentioned as well as some higher and lower in that part of the spectrum. Only exception to this rul I've found is the Yamaha T500D DAB/DAB+ tuner I have, not only does it cover the standard frequency's we know of but it also covers some in the @.0GHZ range so that must be for another standard in another country or part of the world, I'll dish up the specs for the Contour when I get some time and post them.

There are few buttons on the radio itself and all are located on the top. A remote controller unit is supplied with the radio which contains controls for all functions. Losing the remote control isn't likely given that a magnetic storage cradle is provided for the controller at the back of the radio. The Pure Contour has very nice crisp treble with good mid range and bass performs strongly thanks to the built-in sub-woffer unit. A sub-woofer in such a small unit comes as a big surprise but its certainly there and does its job quite well. Plenty of volume can be had from this radio given its 10 watts RMS per channel amplifiers so more than enough power to fill a small room. The unit supports both DAB/DAB+ and FM bands as well as the IOS Dock and an Aux-in facility for external devices. A coxial digital out and headphones socket are provided on the back of the radio next to the power input socket. I've not tried setting alarms on this radio yet - it has two of those - but I can tell you that programming presets and so forth is a breeze, just use the up/down buttons to browse to the station you want - using the select button to tune - and then hold down the Favourites button for 5 seconds. Press the Favourites button on its own, use up/down and then the select button to tuen to the selected Favourite in the list. The radio runs on AC power only thanks to a 2.5 Amp 12 Volt output power adapter supplied and will not work on batteries so its designed to be used on a desk, bedside table, kitchen and so on. Is there anything I don't like about this radio? Very little and its well recommended given its excellent sound out of its small footprint, the excellent quality that Pure radios are known for and the excellent price these radios can now be purchased for. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12
RE: Big Sound From Small Footprint
Ok Dane I understand. I'm not in the UK. I'm in the US and I'm academically interested in digital radio. The system we use here in the US is known as IBOC (in band on channel). It rides adjacent to our standard am/fm signals. It's been on-line here for about a decade or so and in my opinion it's a non-starter.
