OK folks, I got the message. The pc audio list will continue, probably on

More information to follow.

Hi Dane,
Does the quality of these streams effect the stability of the feed or just the

i.e would it drop out less if a better feed?

Tunein would have all of those but there are some issues here, do you want to 
listen to a quality stream or a convenience stream, if convenience is what you 
want - and that's understandable if on a mobile device in particular - then use 
the Tunein App or site . If its quality
- a direct audio stream - taht you're after then consult the Global Radio page 
and copy the streams shown into your favorite Media Player, if you have a low 
band width available then you might prefer the lower quality streams.

The problem with Tunein is that the stream you get from the stations displayed 
there may not be coming directly from the station itself thus lower quality.

2016-12-02 Thread Colin Phelan
Hi All,

I am after your recommendations.

I am using a 30 year old hi fi system which is still working fine.

Mission Cyrus Amp and Linn Index speakers.

 

I have these connected through a DAC to my laptop from which I play all my
music which I have converted to MP3.

 

I am considering upgrading the speakers and amp and am completely out of
touch with what is in the market.

 

I am interested in sound quality not gimics 

I don't stream and don't want to go wireless and am looking for good quality
speakers that I can mount on stands

and an amp that will work through my DAC


Budget 800 sterling.


Thanks

Well firstly are you sure your Roberts radio is compatible with the Undok
App?

Roberts is essentially Sangean so - if the radio is compatible with the
Undok App - then all should be fine.

Make sure that the Radio and your IOS or Android device - the device running
Undok - are on the same network.

We don't see too many Roberts radios out here in Australia, I did own a
couple, my favorite being the Roberts Ecologic 4.

One of Sangean's biggest markets is Europe and Europe use either DAB or

There's at least one model of Sangean I know of which is marketed in the

The crucial thing is here to make sure that - whatever Sangean radio you

VRS & Internet Radio

Hi Guys,

Seeing that many of you appear to be VRS users.

I recently considered buying one rather than another mainstream Internet
radio as a preference to listening to streaming radio stations on my I
phone.

I was initially told the internet radio on the VRS was simple to use and had
35 pre sets.

A couple of folk then said stick with your I phone for internet radio 

 

Peoples views would be appreciated.

 

My main criteria is stable streaming, as an example my I phone cuts out much
more often than my static Roberts internet radio.

Where do we think the technology in the VRS sits

As for accessible I Pods, the 4th genn Nanno was the first one to talk. It's
a touch wheal like the Ipod classic and you can press the sides in. But I
would go for the 5th one. It talks more and has a radio. Once you get to Gen
6, you get the touch screen. What's more, that IPod is really, really
little. So you may find it hard to use. But then again perhaps not.

Subject: Music on the Go

Hi All,, looking to change how I listen to music on the move.

I have an I phone for work with limited music on it.

I also have a Book Sense that sometimes play music on.

Unfortuantley the quality on the book sense is poor compared to the I phone.

So that leads me to think about buying a second hand I pod even though I am
not an I tunes fan.

A couple of questions please 

What generation did I pods become accessible i.e Voice Over and are they all
touch screens.

Can I just connect an I pod to my PC and copy and paste music into it
without using I tunes?

Is there an alternative good sound accessible unit that I will get 2nd hand
at a sensible price?

 

Thanks for your help 

 

Colin

Downloading MusicHi All,

Finally looking to join 21st century, although did have vinyl out last
night!

Rather than buying CD's, ripping them and putting them in a box in the
loft, looking for recommendation of simple MP3 download site that is
good value and accessible.

Whilst I use an I phone I have no interest in I tunes.

Thanks for your thoughts 

Colin

unknown album rips and identify them, is there a way? Many thanks

Hi Colin,
you could chop off the front end in a similar manner:
1. move the cursor to the end of where you want to chop off (about 5 mins into 
the file in your case).
2. press shift + home, which selects a time range from the cursor to the start 
of the audio.
3. press delete.
 
So shift+home and shift+end work in a similar way that they work when editing a

RE: Audacity

2011-12-02 Thread Colin Phelan
Hi David,
Have you any idea what would cause this.
All going well, effectively chopped off front end of file saved as new name 
then imported new file using open command to chop end off it.
However, I have tried this on a number of occasions and the converted MP3 file 
to audacity format only seems to load about 60% of the file in other words the 
remaining 40% approx does not convert hence is not there to remove the end of 
it.
The total file length is around 50 mins 
Thanks for any ideas 
Colin

Hi Colin,
you could chop off the front end in a similar manner:
1. move the cursor to the end of where you want to chop off (about 5 mins into 
the file in your case).
2. press shift + home, which selects a time range from the cursor to the start 
of the audio.
3. press delete.
 
So shift+home and shift+end work in a similar way that they work when editing a 
line of text.

Hi Colin,
these instructions are for version 1.3.13 of audacity.
To be able to export to mp3 from audacity you need to download and install the 
lame encoder, which isn't included with audacity for legal reasons:
http://lame1.buanzo.com.ar/Lame_v3.98.3_for_Audacity_on_Windows.exe
 
Then:
1. open the file.
2. move cursor to the start of the section which you want to chop off. This is 
described in detail below.
3. press shift + end to select a time range from the cursor to the end of the 
file, 4. press delete to delete the selected audio.
5. choose export on the file menu.
6. In the export file dialog, set the save as type combo box to mp3, change 
folder if nessary and type in a file name (usual stuff) and press save.
7. A metadata dialog will then open, just press ok.
8. Note that when you close audacity you'll get a save changes dialog. This is 
because you haven't saved the audio as an audacity project for further editing. 
Since you don't want to do this, just tab to the no button and press it.
 
The space key starts playback from the cursor position. The space key also 
stops playback, but does not change the cursor postion.
Moving the cursor:
1. home and end move the cursor to the start and end of the audio 2. comma and 
period move the cursor back and forward by a short period, shift+comma and 
shift + period by a long period.
3. during playback, you can press the [ key to mark the new cursor position, 
and then press space to stop.
4. during playback left arrow and right arrow seek back and forward by a short 
period, and shift + left arrow and shift + right arrow by a long period.
5. you can customize these short and long periods in the preferences dialog 
which you can open from the edit menu. In the playback category, there are 
short and long period edit boxes.

USB Power

2011-01-14 Thread Colin Phelan
Hi List,
I have bought an external hard drive with no power supply, ie gets power
from lap top 
It came with 2 USB connnections and I now know why 
My machine I am plugging it into is old and is just being used for music but
has only one USB port.
The drive will not spin up on the power for one only and hence I cannot use
for this application.
Is there any small cheap USB power source i.e battery or even mains that I
can plug second USB into to increase power.
I have tested this on my powered USB hub for my main machine and it works
but that is overkill and more expensive than I would want to solve this
issue?
Thanks as alwayss 
Colin

I was thinking it would be slow whenever you were copying files over to 
or from the USB drive over that 1.1 USB connection. I'm not sure if the 
access rate over a 1.1 USB connection would be so slow as to effect your 
ability to play audio off a drive attached to such a port. It would 
probably work, but your player may have to do a tiny bit of buffering.

There's a few things you can do to see if you have more hard drive space 
out there. When you go into My computer, do you see any other drives 
listed besides the C drive? If so, they may be other partitions on your 
hard drive.

You can also use Windows Disk Management to see how your hard drive is 
partitioned. Go to your desktop, arrow over to My Computer, and hit the 
shift+f10, right mouse button or applications key to bring up the
context menu. Arrow down to Manage and hit enter. Now you can arrow down 
to Storage, Disk Management and then tab over to check out how your 
drive is partitioned.

You will free up space by deleting programs you aren't using, but

When you ask about additional memory, are you talking about RAM or hard 
drive space? How much RAM is there now? Prices on memory and hard drives 
only come down, so finding hardware for older systems can end up costing 
you enough to make it worth buying a real cheap low end system. Since 
it's a laptop, you'd have to replace the drive that's there, which would 
mean a lot of work reinstalling Windows onto the new hard drive, 
assuming you have a license and the install media for Windows. Depending 
on how much RAM you have and how much the laptop will support, you may 
be able to add more, but this probably won't buy you anything when it 
comes to storing media files on the hard drive. Something like 
Crucial.com at http://www.crucial.com/ can take you through the RAM 
upgrade process.

You could use an external drive, but I think you'd find the speed 
frustrating.

Thanks Christopher, I am using XP.
The memory I would njeed to upgrade is that I would store MP3's  on which I
guess is HD.
>From what you said not worth that.
I am sure there is more than 20G HD on the machine.
What is an idiots way of finding out overal HD size please.
When you say an external drive would be slow do you mean when playing or
just when initially retrieving?
Thanks again 
Colin

You will free up space by deleting programs you aren't using, but 
depending on the programs, it probably won't be very much. How much data 
are you talking about transferring? Are any other partitions besides C 
listed? there may be a recovery partition that you could steal, if you 
don't care about ever recovering the machine or if you already have 
recovery CD's burned. BTW, what OS is running on this machine?

Thanks all for your great suggestions.
I have taken the easy option at this stage and dusted down an old lap top
and have taken all files well most off it.
Then using a 4G SD card have started coping my music across 
This is taking some time as the Dell Latitude only has USB1 connections but
that's ok.
I did not realise HD was so small as already telling me is full, that's
where I need further assistance please.
I'm a bit thick when it comes to this so here goes 
Local disc (c) when clicking on properties is roughly telling me it is 20G.
Is this the whole size of the lap top including programmes or will I free up
lots of space by deleting programmes not assocatied with music.
I from memory thought it was 40G but may well have been wrong.
If not what is best?
Buy additional memory for the machine, will this be possible?
External hard drive will this be a problem as only USB1?
Once again thanks all for your support

I can think of a few options. One would be to use an FM transmitter. You 
could attach an FM transmitter to your PC and then broadcast the music 
from your PC and pick it up on your stereo, assuming you have a FM 
receiver as part of your stereo. I don't have one myself, but I'm sure 
others can chime in with more details, opinions and information.

You can also use a few different technologies to broadcast music from 
your PC over wifi or bluetooth to a receiver that you could then attach 
to your stereo. Apple TV and Airport Express would be two such examples, 
and others can speak to them with much greater detail than I can.

A third option is to go with an accessible portable media player with 
enough storage and then attaching it to your stereo system. Even if your 
stereo system doesn't have a lot of connectors, you should be able to 
find connectors that run from your MP3 player into the auxiliary  input 
of your stereo receiver. Note that you'd still have to have this level 
of connection if you were using a wifi or bluetooth receiver. You could 
avoid this with the FM transmitter though. This is the route I went. Not 
because it was superior to any of the other methods, but rather it just 
fit my needs.

With this method, I have a portable MP3 player with most of my music. I 
can use this when traveling, exercising, sitting in the waiting room or 
whatever. I can also attach it to the stereo in my living room, the 
powered external speakers in my bedroom or the audio input jack of my 
wife's car. For MP3 players, you have a few different options. You can 
go with an off the shelf MP3 player that will run Rockbox. This would be 
the cheapest route. You could go with an iPod. Finally, you could go 
with an MP3 player tailored specifically for the blind, such as the 
Booksense. Each have their relative strenghts.

That's my $0.02.

Accessable Hard Drive for Hi Fi

2011-01-04 Thread Colin Phelan
Hi All,

I wonder if you can assist.
For use whilst on the move I rip all my music directly to MP3.
I still use a traditional hi fi for listening at home 
I would like for a few reasons to pack away the c d 's and use something I
can connect to my hi fi to listen to music at home.
I am using a basic separates system that includes a Cyrus amplifyer with
little or no fancy connections.
I do not need an ipod for listening on the move otherwise I may go down that
route.
Is there some sort of hard drive I could use that is accessible and I can
just copy all the MP3's to.
Yes when it comes to hi fi I am about 15 years out of date but hey the Cirus
amp used to be leading edge and it still works!
Thanks for your assistance 
Colin
