Digital Recorders (Sony PCM-D50)

2017-11-08 Thread Dane Trethowan 

Hi!

Well I guess at different times in our lives we all "Get Lucky" and such 
a time happened to me a few weeks ago.


I managed to purchase - in good condition - a Sony PCM-D50 digital audio 
recorder.


These recorders are at the low end of the professional recorder ranger 
from Sony and yet they do an excellent job, note the test I did with the 
recorder with a sample from the W9 speaker system.


I managed to find a review of the recorder which was originally 
distributed via the Blind Cool Tech website.


So what's the fuss? Listen here

So another new product from humanware but again I think they're missing 
so many points as Humanware tend to do these days in my opinion.


Yeah okay, we know about Talking Book players and we've used them for years.

Yeah, we know about GPS navigation products and we use iPhones and other 
similar devices.


So it does surprise me that Humanware hasn't brought out a voice 
activated device like the Google Home or Amazon Echo that does all this 
sort of stuff.


Anyway here's the new device from our dear friends at Humanware so make 
what you will of this.

Nice! so there's a choice of at least two packages out there, I've 
already mentioned MP3 Tag Studio.

I very much look forward to seeing your tutorials.
In the meantime? I’ll use MP3 Tag Studio to get the job done.

Well, I just did it once and next time when you press the down arrow
you can select it.
The beauty of mp3tag is if you have a folder of files you want to tag,
hit applications key, then press 3 or go down to the mp3tag option in
your context menue and it'll do the entire directory, then select all
and you're done.
I can help somewhat if you like.

For me I get confused with the conversion process
Where you need to put in a series of characters such as %artist% -
%album% -
%track% - %title%

also if you don't mind doing each file individually you can edit them
in winamp, go to propperties, alt and 3.

Hi all,

Wondering what software people use apart from iTunes to tag mp3 files
that aren't copied from a cd?

I know of someone who is given files made up by a communityradio
station
that need tagging.


I've tried mp3 tag but haven't had much luck.
