Re: VLC FOR WINDOWS

2016-12-14 Thread Dane Trethowan
Firstly you have to make sure the playlist is in view and then you can 
up/down using arrow keys through it, press enter to hear the song you've 
selected.


Alternatively if you just want to go back and forth through a playlist 
in order you can use p and n keys - previous and next - to move, r turns 
on "Random" mode.

Well I don't understand; this file is a piece of music that a friend of mine
wanted to c heck out!  So I'm not understanding how they got it to
play...yet I cannot!  All I know to do then is to write to them (they're not
necessarily "computer sabby" so if I were to tell them something like "not
the right file extension or "this is a "plalist thing"...they'd have no idea
of what I mean!  But thanks for the input.

Re: VLC FOR WINDOWS

Nothing like accidentally making a discovery , lost count of how 
many times I've done that so we'll have to accidentally discover some 
other features.


I have a Logitech Gaming mouse here where the wheel not only rolls but 
can be moved from side-to-side ever so slightly - game controlling - so 
one wonders what might happen if I have VLC in focus and move the wheel 
from side-to-side? Probably and most likely nothing at all but it would 
be nice to think that VLC might go forward or backward through tracks or 
even forward and backward skipping through audio.

The shortcut keys are ctrl-up and down arrow respectively but if you're 
using JAWS you'll have to press the inset-3 key first to pass the next 
key through.

back twords your hand it goes down.

RE: A 2-part Question Concerning Converting A File To MP3

2016-12-14 Thread Tom Kaufman
Hmmm!  Interesting as it's supposed to be a piece of music!  I have Winamp set 
to play Windows Media files as I like that player!  What puzzles me is that 
Switch doesn't even show that file!
Tom Kaufman P.S.  Thanks for your explanation!

Hello Tom,

wpl is a playlist file for windows media player.  It contains
filenames and paths for other media files.  My understanding is
that it does not contain audio content.
If you open the file in windows media, does the audio play? If it does, then 
you need to see to which directory and files it is
pointint at.

I have some good news for you.  I have found a device that might do the trick 
in the UK at
http://retellrecorders.co.uk/product/call-recording-connector-142/
The postage to over here though is about the same as the original product 
though.  But this will do exactly what we want.

Hello,

I have a tiny device that I have plugged into a splitter which is plugged into 
the phone jack on the wall.  The second side of the splitter holds the line to 
the phone.  I have the other end of my tiny device plugged into my Bookport 
input jack.  This works great when running my Bookport on battery power.  When 
I use AC power for the Bookport, the AC hum is so loud as to render the 
recording useless.  So, I really understand your issue.  If you find a useable 
device, I'd love to hear about it.

Another option for you might be to use a device that used to be available at 
Radio Shack that would reduce AC hum.  
You would plug this device into your AC plug on the wall, plug your recorder 
into this device and the AC hum was significantly reduced.  I haven't looked 
for or heard of this device for years.  So, I don't know if it is still 
available.  Just another angle...

I have spent hours looking on google  for such a device and also came across 
the link you mention.  But they work between the handset and the phone which is 
not what I wont.

I want my whole land line to run through the induction loop system.

Here's a very wide ranging article I found on the subject of how to record 
phone calls - whether you're using a standard telephone or mobile system -, I 
really don't know why other list members don't turn to Google first as they'd 
save quite a bit of time and come up with answers to questions in seconds 
.
