Re: tapin radio and witopia

[Dane Trethowan]

Yes, I've had this sort of thing happen though not with Tapin Radio but 
with other radio station databases.



I'm not exactly sure why it happens though my theory is that the 
database intry's for those stations are out of date so I have to either 
use another database source such as vTuner or Tunein Radio or - probably 
the best way - to go to the radio station directly and use the "Listen 
Now" link.

Hi all

  


In the past, I was able to listen to restricted broadcasts from the bbc
using tapin radio together with the witopia vpn.  Now however I seem to be
unable to do so.  I can access these broadcasts when connected to the London
UK service using internet explorer but not using tapin radio.  I keep being
told that this content is not available for me.  I suppose I can use the bbc
website and internet explorer to access it but I like using tapin radio for
this purpose.  Can someone help here?

Questions re the Olympus DS50

[Donald L. Roberts]

I am wondering whether there is a manual in accessible format for the 
DS50?  If so, where do I find it?



On the front of the DS50 near the middle, there is what I would call a 
two position rocker on either end with an elevated button in the 
center.  Pressing the left rocker cycles between the various folders.  
But please tell me in detail what the center switch and the right side 
of the rocker do.  I think that one or the other creates some sort of 
book marks but would like more info if someone could provide it.



Thanks.

Re: My windows search button is not working correctly

Maybe you are downloading to a different place, but if you run c:\ by
typing windows-r and c:\ and there is an edit box and you can search the
whole drive that way.

My windows search button is not working correctly

[Vinny Samarco]

Hi,
Though this is not exactly an audio question, I don’t know where to go for 
help.
I am using windows 7.  I download something, like the current newsreel 
issue, and I am told that it has been downloaded.  Then I go to the usual 
places where it should be, either my documents, or downloads, and it is not 
there.  Then I use the start menue and even bvefore I finish typing  the 
newsreel, I get the message that my searc h yielded no results.  Can anyone 
tell me what has happened and how to fix it?
Thanks.

Yesterday Was Federal Election Day In Australia

[Dane Trethowan]

Yes that’s true but never mind that, I’m writing about something far more 
important and that is the fact that I had my Bowers And Wilkins A7 Speaker 
system delivered yesterday morning and what a fine looking and sounding beast 
it is too sitting on the shelf here in the den though I could easily use it 
anywhere.

I’ve had a number of different Bowers and Wilkins speaker systems in my time 
ranging from the very affordable and nice sounding Z2 iPod dock/Airplay speaker 
to the little brother of the A7, the A5.

What’s the difference then between the A5 and A7 systems? Well there are 2 main 
differences and they are power and connectivity.

The A7 not only supports AirPlay but also can be connected to analogue/digital 
sources such as the digital output of a CD player or TV. The user also has the 
option of connecting the A7 to a Windows PC or Mac in the same way one would 
connect an external sound card.

The DSP in this speaker system  does a superb job at separating the channels 
and projecting the sound,  even more amazing when you consider the size of the 
A7, about the size of a large loaf of bread.

Total power output of the A7 is 100 watts RMS, - 25 each for the 2 stereo 
channels and 50 for the sub-woofer - and all controlled by separate Class D 
digital amplifiers for the channels and sub-woofer  so this is a true 
powerhouse and party animal type device projecting wonderful clear bass, mid 
range and crisp highs around the room though at my place I think the 
description of around the room needs to be modified somewhat so let’s say 
around the house? I can hear the clarity of the A7 down the other end of my 
house from where the A7 is sitting and not all speaker systems I have can do 
that.

The Bowers And Wilkins doesn’t come cheap but in my view the penny’s I saved to 
buy one and the time it took to scrape them together was well worth it.

Luckily I bought mine on sale, a third of the regular Australian price of $1299 
so people in the U.S. might like to check with their local Bowers And Wilkins 
dealer or agent to see what they can get it for in their region and I’ve no 
doubt that the price will be more competitive than it is in Australia.

And a final note, I sold my Bowers And Wilkins A5 some time ago with the idea 
of getting the A7 as quickly as possible though as is often said, “The best 
laid plans are the one’s planned to fail”, so I was without the A5 for a lot 
longer than I’d anticipated and had to use my Denon Cocoon Home in its place, 
the sound of the Cocoon is very good though it still doesn’t match the sound or 
the power of the Bowers And Wilkins A5/A7 but a good and cheaper alternative.

Anyway once I had the A7 installed and working I could easily recall the great 
sound Bowers And Wilkins offers through its speaker systems which had been 
quickly forgotten once I had to use the Denon Cocoon which I’ll write about  
another time.

Re: Newest, latest and I guess greatest DAW?

ProTools is also accessible if you have a mack, but I'm not sure about 
Windows.

Well John:

As the previous post stated, Sonar is still around although I believe you had a 
go at that one.

Samplitude is, indeed, an option but is not cheep.

If you own a Mac, Logic Pro X could really work for you; it's garnering a lot 
of interest from the Blind community these days.  You also get a lot of pretty 
good instruments, loops, ETC.

Cheers.

Hello.
Sonar is stil around if you can find the older version 8.5, and I

And now you also can get samplitude with scripts available wich became
