Ken, to shut TR down completely, just go to the task manager and end it 
there. Problem is, that is just a bit of a PITA, and shouldn't be 
necessary, but it beats having to restart the computer every time.

Total Recorder, Could use some advice

Hi listers,

It's been a while since I've lerked on this list, or participated for 
that matter, but I actually need some help


Due to an ongoing computer crisis, I have been using my wife's laptop 
which runs Windows 7 (was using XP until my 10 year old computer finally 
bit the dust), and I am having a bit of a annoyance with Total Recorder.


Every time I open up total recorder for any reason, I find that it will 
not disappear when I close it out. I have to go to the task manager in 
order to totally disable it. If I don't, if I make a transfer or copy to 
another drive, where a file might have been in the process of being 
edited, I cannot remove the thumb drive without going to the task manager 
and ending a task which should have already have been ended.


I am using the Kernel-mode filter driver as recommended by TR in the 
installation. Could this be the cause of my situation? And, would it be 
OK to run another driver instead, and would I get a different result from 
the change.


I mean, it is so easy to forget that it is still stuck open in the task 
manager, although it seems to have no other function at that stage than 
to be stuck there 

I think I had another question, but at present, I can't remember what it 
was. I'm sure I'll be getting back to all of you with that one.


Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Larry

I don't even bother with CD databases as they're usually so inaccurate in 
the first places - ain't like they used to be you know -.


When I rip Audio CD'S for books the first thing I do - having obtained the 
book title - is to go to the Google Book Search and type in the title, 
that brings up an information page thus I then can enter the data as need 
be.


I Use Easy CD Converter for Windows or XLD for the Mac but I prefer Easy 
CD Converter much of the time.


Anyway I have a Profile for talking books where particular parameters are 
set for the MP3 encoder, the naming scheme is set to Track Number -its 
audio books we're talking about and they usually don't have any particular 
track titles - and so on.


Its a shame that people won't use anything other than toys like iTunes to 
Rip their CD'S and I don't shy away from saying this either, iTunes - and 
many other rippers are toys nothing more and nothing less -, they do not 
look for errors on CD'S for example and before anyone says there aren't 
any, you wouldn't know unless you had an accurate ripper that generated a 
log for you of ripping results, Easy CD Converter, XLD and Exact Audio 
Copy are amongst the few that do this as well as emplying advanced error 
correction and retry methods.


Yes, ripping can take a little longer - say 20 minutes instead of 2 - but 
the length is worth it as you get a truly accurate product.

If you have  powershell do this
stop-process -name TotalRecorder

This is case sensitive.
This is caused by a Microsoft bug, apparently.

No, didn't get around to looking up the model of the Sony microphone I

CC 2E Radio

Well how do you know there's a new feature on it then?

I suggest you read the manual and that way you know exactly what the 
radio is capable of.

Re: SACD'S

[Dane Trethowan]

Yep, there aren’t too many SACD’S around though they haven’t died out yet which 
is probably due to the fact that to play a SACD is a cheaper option now than it 
ever has been, I refer to my notes on the first SACD capable player I bought.

Re: SACD'S

[Dane Trethowan]

You don’t need to access any menu system, just put the SACD into your player 
and press the play button, a lot of Blu-Ray players will play SACD’S without a 
problem, the sony player I mentioned in a SACD player though I should warn you 
that at $99 I don’t know how good it would be, I am thinking of buying 
something cheap for the den to do the job where quality isn’t an issue with 
that sort of thing as I already have quality components, I have the DAC and so 
on.

Re: SACD'S

[Dane Trethowan]

Well again you don’t need to pay a lot of money to enjoy SACD’S these days, I 
was looking at my local electronics store and found a Sony SACD machine for $99.

SACD is an extension of qua for want of a better description and is not to be 
confused with surround-sound as it doesn’t rely on DSP - Digital Signal 
Processing - in other words SACD uses multiple channels with sounds recorded in 
those channels, if you have a Surround-Sound system already then its possible 
that it can already play SACD.

Freedb issue.

[Anders Holmberg]

Hi!
I have a strange problem with cdex and freedb.
Mostly i do my cd ripping in Itunes on my mac with very good results.
But when it comes to audiobooks on cd i prefer cdex for windows.
However i have one odd problem with the audiobooks.
Its very strange.
When i rip cd-s i connect to the freedb and sometimes a cd of an audiobook is 
missing when i querying the freedb.
I wonder why  some cd-s are missing in a audiobook that contains 10 cds.
Really frustrating.

RE: SACD'S

[Brett Boyer]

Hey. I recall reading a review that said the Eagles Hell Freezes Over has a 
SACD version. And, in this concert mix you are placed center stage instead of 
being in the audience. For example, drums behind you, and the band all around 
you! Whereas most concerts place you in the audience with the band mostly in 
the front speakers and sometimes a little enhancement in the rear speakers. I 
thought about buying some expensive equipment just to hear if all of that is 
true. Because it sounded amazing! But not enough to go and buy several hundred 
dollars of equipment.

Hi Dane,

I didn't realise SAD's could do multi-channel recordings. I have a few BluRay 
audio recordings which sound great but only one is multi-channal. While they 
sound great you still have to use a menu system to access them just as if they 
were BluRay video. I wish there were more multi-channel recordings around but 
there seem to be very few even for contempory output. 

I am thinking of upgrading my ancient BluRay Sony player as it is clunky and 
slow. Which Dennon player did you get?

John

Subject: SACD'S

Hi!

Been a good while since I've sat down and had a listen to my small collection 
of Super Audio CD'S, I had an old Pioneer DVD Player which handled them however 
that player is not compatible with any of the newer equipment I own so SACD'S 
had to wait until I could afford to buy a compatible player.

The compatible player arrived in the form of a Denon Blu-Ray player about 3 
weeks ago ,time to take some time out from the grind, put my feet up and listen 
again.

There's no doubt about it in my view, the upgraded player for SACD'S was 
certainly worth the while given that each channel of the audio is now digitally 
delivered to the Denon Surround-Sound receiver, each channel being delivered 
via its own speaker rather than having to rely on processing to do the same 
job, the old Pioneer player would also deliver the channels to each speaker but 
in an Analogue mode and you can certainly pick the difference.

The Pioneer player connected to a multi channel amp or Surround-Sound receiver 
by the use of multiple VCA connecting cords, one lead for each channel and the 
connection couldn't be done digitally even though the Pioneer had a Digital out 
connection - two in fact - they would allow the streaming of standard Audio or 
Surround-Sound audio and not from SACD.

The Denon player on the other hand is completely digital for everything, one 
HDMI connection handles up to 8 channels of audio, HD 4K video - if available - 
and all the other controlling stuff that HDMI is capable of, certainly makes 
life one hell of a lot easier connecting HDMI devices rather than doing things 
the traditional way with RCA and other cords.

I guess you're all wondering, what's the use of me getting SACD'S if I can only 
play them on a compatible player? That's true if you want to enjoy the multi 
channel benefits of SACD however a SACD will play in standard stereo mode quite 
happily in a standard CD Player.

Time to get back to my Jeff Waynes Super Audio CD Version of War Of The worlds, 
the classic double album from 1978.

A couple of issues with Total Recorder, Could use some advice

[Larry Higgins]

Hi listers,

It's been a while since I've lerked on this list, or participated for 
that matter, but I actually need some help


Due to an ongoing computer crisis, I have been using my wife's laptop 
which runs Windows 7 (was using XP until my 10 year old computer 
finally bit the dust), and I am having a bit of a annoyance with 
Total Recorder.


Every time I open up total recorder for any reason, I find that it 
will not disappear when I close it out. I have to go to the task 
manager in order to totally disable it. If I don't, if I make a 
transfer or copy to another drive, where a file might have been in 
the process of being edited, I cannot remove the thumb drive without 
going to the task manager and ending a task which should have already 
have been ended.


I am using the Kernel-mode filter driver as recommended by TR in the 
installation. Could this be the cause of my situation? And, would it 
be OK to run another driver instead, and would I get a different 
result from the change.


I mean, it is so easy to forget that it is still stuck open in the 
task manager, although it seems to have no other function at that 
stage than to be stuck there 

I think I had another question, but at present, I can't remember what 
it was. I'm sure I'll be getting back to all of you with that one.


Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Larry
