listening to internet radio stations
Hello all, I am using the stream to listen to radio stations on the internet through my wifi. I also use the line in jacks on my living room stereo to listen to the stream , as if I am getting the stations off the air. How can sighted folks do the same thing? I hear that there are stand alone devices that can play internet radio stations by using wifi in my home. thanks, Jerry Howell http://www.howellmobility.com

Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war, not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living and the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and build a better life for their children not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women not merely peace in our time but peace in all time.
Apple's New Operating System With FaceTime, Sample 01
Okay, the sample I’ve put a link to here is pretty basic, me leaving a Voice Message on my Voicemail however the way it the whole thing was done is quite fantastic to say the least. I’m using the latest OS X from Apple for my Mac and the FaceTime App, up until now FaceTime was used to make extremely high quality audio and video calls where band width allowed. This functionality still exists in the FaceTime App and new features have been added, for this sample I had FaceTime use my Apple iPhone 6 as the connection point if you like - FaceTime had my iPhone dial the number and the audio from both microphone and speaker came from the Plantrics Audio 478 headset connected to the Computer. - Yes, this is only Voicemail I know and not top notch audio but quality is surprisingly good I thought. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10565527/Sample.wav https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10565527/Sample.wav
Re: Apple's New Operating System With FaceTime, Sample 01
Excellent demonstration, however, and no fault to you, I don't think this comes even close to the truly wonderful audio quality that's possible in facetime and ft audio. I use facetime audio daily to communicate with my Fiancee who's currently in Canada and have completely replaced skype for over a year now. Even when she's back home here, we've also used it to talk to her family and both the audio and video, since she's into that kind of thing, is much more reliable than we've managed with skype. that's pretty sweet that you can use the IPhone as a connection to the mac though, I didn't know that. I will say though that using facetime, and even regular phone calls on the 6 plus, on the speakerphone is super amazing. I'd almost wonder if it would be possible to use a patch cable of some sort to connect an IOS device, just to grab a higher audio quality of a facetime call with your nifty microphone setup. Super cool though. Thanks and take care. Blessings.

Re: Apple's New Operating System With FaceTime, Sample 01
Hi! I’ve used my Yamaha MX-P100 Bluetooth Speaker with FaceTime and quality is damn good! Yes, I’ve had better results with FaceTime for Audio and Video calls with Skype however Skype is catching up fast. As I said in the original eMail, FaceTime was used in this instance with an iPhone effectively making a call on a cell network so audio quality wasn’t expected to be superb, it would have been far better of course had I been able to contact someone on my cell network using HD Voice but I don’t know anyone now smile On 18 Oct 2014, at 12:05 pm, Jeremy icu8...@gmail.com wrote: Excellent demonstration, however, and no fault to you, I don't think this comes even close to the truly wonderful audio quality that's possible in facetime and ft audio.

Re: Apple's New Operating System With FaceTime, Sample 01
Oh, oops, my apologies, I didn't think about the call being made over your 3g/4g. I'm not sure what I thought the phone was doing in the setup, didn't put two and two together. lol I also wasn't aware that the quality of the facetime calls could differ, but then again, I've only ever used it from between two IPhones. :) Take care.

Re: Apple's New Operating System With FaceTime, Sample 01
I’ll just explain it again to avoid any confusion. FaceTime can now be used to dial out - make calls - and answer - receive calls - from your iPhone if its on the same Wi-Fi network as your Mac, the sound from your iPhone goes through your Mac so - instead of listening to your iPhones hands free speaker or the receiver speaker - you can hook up your favourite headset to your computer.

Tecsun PL660 Radio
Hi! I think there were some list members who had questions regarding the workings of this radio? If so then speak up now or forever hold your peace smile, I’ll no longer have the radio after next week and I tend to forget about how things work when I don’t have them to put “Hands-on”.
