I find Windows Media Player usable, and I suspect iTunes is still usable,

A CDA file is just a file on a cd. so you just take your mp3 files and burn 
them onto a blank cd using a program like CD Burner XP which will work on 
any windows PC from XP to the current.

Saving audio from flash

[Dean Masters]

There is a web site which lets you listen to demos of choir music. It uses 
flash but not Youtube, etc.


I used to have a program that would intercept anything from flash but don't 
have it any more and don't quite remember the name. It was a free program. I 
think it is something like VS Download but I couldn't find anything when 
doing a web search that still existed. It seems like the company made other 
audio and video software.


Does anyone nkow the software I am talking about or can recommend another 
accessible software that will do the same?

Hi my friends. Does any one here still use the Accessible Podcatcher from
www.webbie.org.uk  ? Or have people moved on? Just
asked because either my PC's hard drive has errors on it already or it
causes them. Because I had refreshed the PC, and all was well and good. Then
I installed it and all was well and good for a few days. Now how ever, the
shortcut doesn't work, it says feature ID not regestured, and the comp keeps
going on about drive errors. Also it's stuck in an endless update and
restart loop. I think it wants to go to Windows 10 but can't since the drive
is so screwed up. Personally, I think something's up and I need to have a
friend format the drive like brand new. But just wanted to see. I wanted to
see if it's even remotely possible the PodCatcher opened some old woond as
it were. Because funny thing is that all was well and good until I came
along and put it on the PC. Also it's install path is blocked. I can't even
uninstall it to reinstall it. Something about where the MSI file goes is
screwed. Thanks for any answers. 

Format Factory 3.6 accessible

[Dean Masters]

The latest version of Format Factory is now accessible again. the toolbar 
down the left sets your choices more as a table than a list.


this program can be used to rip DVD to video, cd to audio, join video, join 
audio, change format of video or audio to other audio. Change formats of 
photos.


one must use the mouse cursor on the toolbar that goes down the left side of 
the page to choose what you want to do. Then one can tab through the dialog.


The last version that was accessible was version 3.

Re: jaws friendly program for cutting out commercials

[Dean Masters]

I use that program. You mark the beginning of the commercial by hitting b 
and mark the end of the commercial by hitting n. Then to delete the 
commercial hit delete.


Then play the file and you can fast forward in larger chunks by hitting page 
down and by smaller incremements by hitting the right arrow key until you 
get to the next commercial.


And if you have one complete show on one file then hit control + w to save 
the whole file.

Balance in Windows 7 64 bit

[Dean Masters]

I have some songs to learn my parts for barbershop where my part is in the 
left channel with the others in the right. I have looked in the volume 
controls on my windows 7 64 bit PC with a RealTec built-in sound card for a 
place to adjust the balance so I could hear more of the left speaker.


I use Dawm Pot Player for 64 bit PC's and don't see an adjustment in that 
program either.


Does anyone know if this can be changed in Windows or if there is a media 
player that has a balance control that is accessible?

I use it with JAWS 15 and windows 7 64 bit.

It does not rip or do anything but give you the title and names of songs

the cd's. Then there are keystrokes so you can copy all the info so you

Before winamp did a nice job showing which original cds were played on a

play til the text is finish. So at the end you end up with one audio

some, but at least its worth it. And its not just one developer who do

Re: 60 cycle hum/noise interference

I had the same problem when I ran a line from the headphone output on the TV 
to my PC. I dindn't know which of those things to get on Amazon but I knew 
that with Comcast they don't ground their lines correctly and that is where 
the hum comes from. so I unscrewed the cable connection until the hum went 
away. so I have no idea if there is a picture but since I am the only one 
that uses the TV it doesn't matter. So the cable connection is just stuck in 
enough to get sound but not enough to get the hum.

Received this yesterday and there's little point me commenting on the

Anyway someone mentioned replacement batteries for the DM4? I've taken a 
look at the battery and it looks to be a standard mobile battery type so I 
don't see this as being a huge problem, I'm glad the topic of batteries was 
mentioned as a spare for the DM4 certainly wouldn't be a bad investment.

Re: Hum from Cable

[Dean Masters]

What I meant was that if the program had a lot of blasts then the hum 
couldn't be heard if the volume of the TV was raised.


I raised the volume too much which distorted the sound but I still had the 
hum during the program. So I guess the only thing I can do is do away with 
the cable which means recording on VHS or DVD then disconnecting the cable 
and playing the recording which I can record on my PC.

Dean,

I'm not sure what you mean about not wishing to raise the volume unless the 
movie has explosions and loud parts.
I was referring to when you had the patch cord plugged into the headphone 
plug and you were recording.  I am
assuming that you are not listening to the movie when you do that.  If you 
raise the volume on the TV, you might

have to lower the record level on the PC.

The advice to get one long good quality cable rather than using two with the 
RCA connector might be worth a try,

too.

This is probably stating the obvious, but be sure to turn up the volume 
some

on your TV to overcome any residual
hum that is a part of the TV's circuitry.  If you run your headphones at
relatively low volume, you may not hear
the hum, but when that same signal is fed through another amplifier and
played back at a higher volume, hum can
become evident.  However, that would be too easy a fix.


Also check where your cable is routed.  Sometimes if a cable is too close 
to

another power supply, even an AC
adapter, hum can be introduced.



Finally, the cause is most likely the hardest to fix, that being a ground
loop.  This is especially likely if your
TV is connected to cable TV.  It can be further complicated if your 
computer

is connected to a network through an
ethernet connection as well.  Try disconnecting the cable from your TV 
while

it is on to see if the hum goes away,
realizing, of course, this isn't a viable solution.  If the hum does go
away, you probably have a groundloop.  We
tend to think that "ground" is "ground" and this just isn't the case.  When
devices are connected to ground
through multiple paths that take different routes, those paths can
themselves create what amounts to one turn on a
large coil that can pick up hum.  Sometimes to correct such a problem you
have to actually disconnect a device
from ground or isolate devices.  Let's take a quick possible example. 
Let's

say that your computer is connected
to internet by being plugged into a router that is connected to a cable
modem.  In addition to normal grounds,
there is a ground on the ethernet cable that connects back to the ground of
your router, that connects to the
ground on your cable modem that connects to the ground or outer shield of
the coaxial cable that goes to a
splitter where the cable splits and goes to your tv.  Now, the ground on
your tv is connected to the audio ground
on your patch cord which connects to the audio ground on your desktop which
is connected to your desktops ground.
We have just described a path that makes a long trip that can be described
as a loop.  If disconnecting the cable
from your TV gets rid of the hum, there are filters that can be placed
between a TV and a cable that allows the
cable's shield to act as a ground for radio and TV signals but not for AC.
This would then break this particular
loop.  Unfortunately, there are other interactions that can cause ground
loops so figuring out how to avoid them
is a pain.



Of course, if you were able to connect your TV to your desktop using
bluetooth, there would be no physical
connection.  This can be done in a number of ways, but the bluetooth sound
might be lower quality.  You also might
consider recording on aa portable audio recorder and then

Re: Hum from Cable

[Dean Masters]

In the past I would record the programs on VHS then disconnect the cable and 
play the VHS so I could record on my PC without the hum. so it seems like 
the only way to record without the hum is to disconnect the cable. But I was 
hoping not to have to record on one thing then play to record to my PC. I 
was hoping to cut out the middle man and twice the time to record. Plus I am 
having trouble with the VHS. The machine also has a DVD recorder if I can 
figure out how to run that thing. I guess I need to do that then play the 
DVD after disconnecting the cable.

This sounds like an earth loop of some kind.

The first thing to check is whether the cable outlet is isolated
- it should be. Do you use a cable box or does the cable go
straight into the TV? If you have a box, check if you still get
the hum with it disconnected. If not, that's the cause of the
problem and the isolated outlet will cure it.

If you still get hum without the TV cable connected there are
other things to check; is the TV connected to anything else? Do
you have an outside aerial as well, or a satellite receiver?

If the TV is fitted with a two-pin mains plug, is it the right
way round? Try reversing it in the socket.

I'd plump for the cable outlet first, though, it's a very common
problem.

modem.  In addition to normal grounds,
there is a ground on the ethernet cable that connects back to the ground of 
your router, that connects to the
ground on your cable modem that connects to the ground or outer shield of 
the coaxial cable that goes to a
splitter where the cable splits and goes to your tv.  Now, the ground on 
your tv is connected to the audio ground
on your patch cord which connects to the audio ground on your desktop which 
is connected to your desktops ground.
We have just described a path that makes a long trip that can be described 
as a loop.  If disconnecting the cable
from your TV gets rid of the hum, there are filters that can be placed 
between a TV and a cable that allows the
cable's shield to act as a ground for radio and TV signals but not for AC. 
This would then break this particular
loop.  Unfortunately, there are other interactions that can cause ground 
loops so figuring out how to avoid them

is a pain.

Of course, if you were able to connect your TV to your desktop using 
bluetooth, there would be no physical
connection.  This can be done in a number of ways, but the bluetooth sound 
might be lower quality.  You also might
consider recording on aa portable audio recorder and then transferring the 
results to your computer.  In the end,
you should be able to record directly on your desktop, but depending upon 
other factors, the hum may not be so
easy to eliminate.  Maybe, though, you'll be lucky, and turning up the TV's 
volume a little will clear up

everything!

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Re: Hum from Cable

The PC and TV are on opposite walls so they are about 12 feet apart. so they 
can't use the same outlet. The PC is plugged into a uninterrupted power 
supply which has the three prong outlets and it is plugged into a three 
pronged outlet which means it should be grounded.

Re: DVD Ripping Software Info Wanted

I remember seeing those buttons when I first ripped a DVD but JAWS didn't 
tell me what those buttons were. I think I just tabbed to OK or whatever

the folder which contains the DVD.


It seems like it has converted all the titles but it has been a while since 
I ripped a DVD with multiple titles.

I have used it to convert several DVDs to avi.

I have a few questions on its use however.
1. Do you have any idea what some of the buttons that Jaws does not read
might do?
2. The DVDS have multiple titles. So far, I have only been able to convert
the first title, "title 1".
How would I select other titles from the list, and can Freemake Video
Converter convert multiple titles, or do I have to convert one at a time?

Many Thanks.

ALso, as the name suggests, will if needed compress the video so

Hey Listers,

I just wanted to take time to say thanks to a kind person on this
list by the name of Humberto who told me about SONGR. If you want a
good and reliable converter of files from Youtube, then this is
definitely the ticket. I might have been a little disappointed with a
small few of the downloads from Youtube over the past week, but not in 
SONGR.


I became genuinely interested in Youtube conversions around the 50th
year of the Kennedy assassination because some of the programs
available were quite long, and I could find no way to mark them up
for later listening, making it necessary to relisten to ground I had
already covered. I put out an appeal for some help with the problem,
and Humberto suggested SONGR. It took me a month or so to finally get
around to putting it to the test, but I'm really glad I did. For me
at least, this program has lots of potential.

So, thank God for the list, Humberto, and SONGR.

OK, this may sound a bit over the top, but it isn't often I find an
application as useful as this one.

Thanks for graciously putting up with my gushing ,

Larry

Audacity has this which is easy to use. It tells you what key the song is in 
then you can choose what key to move it to. And Audacity is free.


I have seen this in other audio programs but it uses percentage to raise or 
lower which didn't make sense to me. I like knowing what key the original is 
in and what key I am moving it to.

Format Factory & JAWS 14

[Dean Masters]

I installed the latest version of Format Factory which is 3.2.1. I think 
there was one page you had to read with the jaws cursor to find out it was 
trying to install junk on your PC but the buttons were easy enough to tell 
it no.


The last accessible version of the program was 3.0.1 where when you clicked 
on an item in the left toolbar a menuu would bebelow that item. In versions 
since then the focus is on that item but no menu is found anywhere. so I 
thought I would try JAWS OCR and did find mp3 and AFE as the only two 
choices under audio. I didn't find anything under any of the others even 
with OCR. so it would be possible to convert something to mp3 or AFE by 
clicking on one of those. And when you do this a dialog does come up which 
is accessible.


But with that being the only thing that can be done with the program I guess 
it is back to version 3.0.1 for me.

Re: Warning about newer versions of Format Factory was: Re: I'veTaken A New Path

[Dean Masters]

just for information, the newest version of Format Factory which is 3.1.1 is 
not accessible at all. I think they changed things for people who use 
tablets, etc. I never tried going through the context menu but always 
through the program but now when you click on an item in the left side menu 
nothing shows up like what kind of audio files do you want to make?


I did change the format of some audio using the context menu but I could not 
tab through the dialog as in earlier versions and could not see where to 
change the bit rate, etc. So I will be going back to the previous version. 
It also adds the ask toolbar but I have WinPatrol which I use to stop it but 
then use CCleaner to uninstall it.

To try to answer Clifford's question, I checked out the current version of
format factory on the web, because I haven't updated since version 2.96 and
didn't know if things had changed. However, I found out that with the new
version, you can not opt out of the Ask toolbar during installation. And the
Ask toolbar is very difficult to eliminate. You need a program like Revo
Uninstaller. Therefore, unless you have an earlier version that lets you say
no to the Ask toolbar, or unless you want the Ask toolbar, I can no longer
recommend Format Factory.
By the way, you're correct about the low bit rate. I use Total Recorder when
I want higher ones.

Hi!

Okay, decided not to use Easy CD DA Extractor any longer as the software
certainly wasn't becoming any more accessible under Windows, I think the
name of the software has also changed so forgive me .

So now what to use for Audio file format conversion? Well I just upgraded
my version of Prism Video Converter Plus so decided to look at some of
the
bundled software I could buy alongside my upgrade, I chose to buy the
Switch Plus Audio Format Converter and Wave Pad, I'll talk about the Wave
Pad Audio Editor in another message.

I've seen mention of the Switch Audio Format Converter in previous
messages, list members have given Switch - on previous occasions - a good
wrap and at the discounted price of $10.00 for the Plus edition I decided
to buy and try.

I'm not disappointed.

I see that audacity has an option where you can do this, but the vocals seem

I’m just curious – is there a better program to do this or will there always
be some of the original vocals in the background?

when you get a link for a Youtube site go to the video converter

open the menus and go to the edit menu. the only thing in there is paste so

Next go to the menus to the convert menu. Here you can choose what format if 
you want video or mp3 and enter on that.


A dialog will come up. Tab to edit preset and hit enter.

Tab through and choose the bit rate, etc. then enter on OK

You will be back in the original dialog. Tab to ... and enter to choose 
which folder to put the new files in.


Then when back in the original dialog tab to the convert button and hit 
enter.


When it is finished you will have a window over the program that says

Hey listers,

Just wonder if someone could help me with this issue.

I am trying to figure out how to use IE8 as an aggregator for

feeds. In other words, when I subscribe, I never get any indication
that I've been in anyway successful. I have never received a Podcast
from C-SPAN for example, and others I cannot at present recall.

If IE isn't a practical way to subscribe to or receive Podcasts,
please let me know, and also why this should be.

If anybody could recommend another aggregator besides iTunes, that
would really be appreciated also.

If this is understood by any who might be willing to respond to this
question to be barely on topic, please respond off list.

The video file formats I am familiar with which are available are .avi, 
.wmv, .mpeg, .mp4. There are others listed in case you have a smart phone 
and you can choose a format just for that smart phone. Or if there is a 
video in some other format you can choose Youtube to put it in the form to 
upload to Youtube.


I don't use video so I can't really say which one is better for you. I would 
assume most computers would be able to play .avi or .wmv files.


I found out that one of the files I tried to download was blocked. the other 
link was for a folder. You can play videos from the folder but can't save 
any of them.

Re: Question About Free You Tube Converter

[Dean Masters]

You can use the free program Freemake Video Converter which is available at:

www.freemake.com

You copy the link of the Youtube page then go to the opened program.

Next go to the edit menu and the only thing there is paste so enter on that.

Next go to the convert menu and choose which format to save the video or 
audio.


A dialog will come up. You can set presets or change presets then tab to ... 
and enter to select where to save the file.


then tab to convert and hit enter.

You may get some warnings or alerts. I don't know what these say since jaws 
won't read them. sometimes you will be able to download the Youtube but some 
of the videos are blocked. so if you get a warning or alert try a few more 
times to make sure if you can download it or not.

Re: A Couple Questions About Freemake Audio Converter

[Dean Masters]

I don't use the audio converter but do use the video converter which will 
convert only to mp3.


so in the video converter you choose which files you want to convert then go 
to the convert menu and select which format you wish to save the files in. 
Then a dialog comes up where you can tab to change preset to change the 
quality of the file. If you keep tabbing you will come to a button that just 
says ... which is three dots. Enter on this to choose where to save your 
converted files. in the video converter the only two things in the dialog 
after this is a checkbox to import into iTunes and tab once more to the 
convert button.


I have no idea why it is putting two copies of the same song together.

Subject: A Couple Questions About Freemake Audio Converter

Guys, I've installed this Freemake Audio Converter, and done some file 
conversions with it. It's (mostly) accessible with my Window Eyes 8.1, and 
it does exactly what I want it to do, that is, convert my mp3 files into m4a 
files, sounding the same but saving me on storage space. It'll even convert 
multiple files at once, so I can convert whole albums at a time. And, it 
preserves most of the audio tags. So I like the program overall and I want 
to use it. However, I just had a couple of questions:


I can't figure out how to tell it where to put the converted files. That's a 
minor annoyance, but the bigger problem is that it is making two of every 
converted file. Except for the filenames, of course, they are exactly the 
same, making the conversions twice as long and then causing me to have to 
delete the duplicates. Anyone seen this and know how to stop it, and does 
anyone know of a way to tell it where to put its converted files? There 
doesn't look to be any option for that in the menus anywhere.



Thanks much.

Evan

There are a number of programs you can use to download Youtube videos. But 
some of the videos won't let you download them. The program I use is 
Freemake Video Converter. It can be found at:

You can save the Youtube as a vide bideo or as an mp3.

USB headphones with Windows 7

[Dean Masters]

I had some USB headphones with microphone which I got to use on my previous 
PC. I wanted to use it so I could use Skype so plugged them in and Windows 7 
home premium 64 bit PC found the drivers.


So I go to the volume control on my system tray and choose playback. There 
is a combo box where I can go between the USB headphones and the RealTech 
speakers.


I select one and tab to set as default and hit enter. but something weird is 
going on.


When I select the RealTech speakers as my default all sound comes from my 
headphone. And the volume icon in the system tray says speakers.


To be able to hear through my speakers I have to choose the headphone. so 
the icon in the system tray says headphone but the sound come from my 
speakers except for the sound from my media player of choice which is Dawm 
Pot player. so I have to wear my headphones to listen to media but JAWS 
comes through the speakers.


I just tried it with iTunes and the audio from that program also comes 
through the headphones.


What is making this weird thing happen and what do I need to do to get it 
straightened out?

Subject: Looking For New Youtube to MP3 Converter

Greetings,



Until very recently I was using youtube-mp3.org with very good success 
until

the owners of the web page stoppd the Youtube to MP3 video conversion
process under a threat of a lawsuit from Google. I have tried other online
converters, but they seem to crash IE9. The Youtube video to audio
converters I have tried without success include listentoyoutube.com, and
videotomp3.com. I am wondering if anyone has discovered a Youtube to audio
converter that is equal or near equal to Youtube-mp3.org.



I discovered while researching what was behind this sudden and strange
development I was curious as to why Google is playing waterboy for ASCAP.
However, I have subsequently concluded that Google has its own turf to
protect, and it is the ring tone revenues they are likely receiving from 
the

Android apps markets. IN any event, I would appreciate any suggestions.

TIA

Subject: Creating MP3 from video?

Hi folks,
Do any of you have any suggestions as to the easiest way to Copy the sound 
file from video on to my Win 7 computer, using Jaws 13 or 14, in MP3 format?




Should there be an Audio in on my internal or external sound card, that 
could be connected to my video-player's audio out?


What recording program do you think would work best with Jaws 13 or 14?



Many thanks! Vicky

Re: Saving MP3 Files in Freemake

[Dean Masters]

If you have the video converter then I assume you have gone to the edit menu 
and entered on paste. then you went to the convert menu and went to mp3 and 
hit enter.


A dialog box should have come up. You can tab to edit presets and choose the 
quality of file you want to save. Then when you get back to the dialog you 
tab to ... Enter on this and the save dialog will come up. After you choose 
where to save and change the file name if you wish you will go back to the 
mp3 dialog where you tab to convert and hit enter.


so the p;lace to choose where you want it saved is two tabs before the 
convert button.

Subject: Saving MP3 Files in Freemake

Good evening all,



I have just downloaded and installed Freemake and appear to have downloaded
a Youtube video of some Hawaiian music. However, I am unable to find the
presumably converted MP3 file either in my music or downloads folder. The
menus do not appear to be a standard windows pulldown menu and I do not find
a file > save dialogue box that gives me the option of saving it to a folder
on the hard drive. All suggestions and tips appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Rob "Jayhawk" Tabor

Re: program to convert mp4 to avi

[Dean Masters]

Freemake Video Converter is a good program to use and it is free. find it 
at:


www.freemake.com

You just go to the file menu and enter on select video.
then go to the convert menu and select avi.

Next I assume a dialog will appear where you can edit the settings. I have 
only converted to audio but assume the same type dialog would come up for 
video as well.


with this program you can also save YouTube videos and videos from a lot of 
sites.

Audio Joiner

[Dean Masters]

Is there an acessible audio joiner where you tell it what audio files you 
want it to join and it will do it for you? I have tried Format Factory to 
combine files for about eight hours of audio and every time I have tried it 
only gives me less than an hour and a half of audio.


Thanks,

Hi Dean, Thank you for your reply. I beleave I have the same system set up
as you do, so hopefully, this should work.

However, in your instructions, I think a step was left out.

I pressed Windows R, which opened the Run command. Just pressing Enter here,
goes into my first program, which is Jaws.
I tried pressing M, but only got silence.

Would you tell me what I missed?

Many thanks! Vicky

Hit m until you hear my music then enter.

Hi Brad, Thanks so much for responding so quickly! However, I'm still

When I went into iTunes, which happens to be version 10.5, and use Control
Shift R, it responds, "Select an option" and gives 3 Rating options.
When I went to my DeskTop, I couldn't find the "Media folder.
I believe most of my music is in the AAC format, which my Plextalk will

Or... You can go to a playlist in iTunes... Hit select all... Hit copy... 
Go

to your flash drive in Windows explorer and hit paste.
Good luck! iTunes rules!

Re: blind friendly duplicate audio file remover?

[Dean Masters]

try No Dupe which can be found at:

http://otissoft.co.uk

The way I use it is to go into Windows Explorer  to the folder I want to 
search. Then I hit the applications key and move to search with No Dupe and 
hit enter. After it searches the program will come up and there is a tab for 
results you can go through.


One thing I don't get is that every time it starts up it checks to see if 
there is an update. And even if there is no update it brings up a window 
telling you which version you are using and which version is available. 
There are buttons yes and no to enter on to download or not. so be careful. 
just because that window comes up it doesn't mean there is a new version to 
download.

Subject: Looking For New Youtube to MP3 Converter

Greetings,



Until very recently I was using youtube-mp3.org with very good success until
the owners of the web page stoppd the Youtube to MP3 video conversion
process under a threat of a lawsuit from Google. I have tried other online
converters, but they seem to crash IE9. The Youtube video to audio
converters I have tried without success include listentoyoutube.com, and
videotomp3.com. I am wondering if anyone has discovered a Youtube to audio
converter that is equal or near equal to Youtube-mp3.org.



I discovered while researching what was behind this sudden and strange
development I was curious as to why Google is playing waterboy for ASCAP.
However, I have subsequently concluded that Google has its own turf to
protect, and it is the ring tone revenues they are likely receiving from the
Android apps markets. IN any event, I would appreciate any suggestions.

TIA

You will have to find a web site with a link that says something about 
playig it with a media player. Some may have different links for different

link hit the applications key and select copy shortcut and hit enter.


now go to Fubar and hit control + u and paste the link there and hit enter.

Hi.  Mp3 direct cut will do that for you but I don't use it and don't know
how accessible it is nor if it is as precise as you might want.  Gold Wave
will do that and very precisely and that's what I use.  Mp3 direct cut
though can do the job without decompression.  It is worth taking a look I

I have been using Audacity 1.3 beta.  Are there any advantages in upgrading
to 2.0?  Also, the noise reduction effect in Audacity appears to be far
superior to that in Goldwave, which I used up until a few years ago.  Is
this accurate or just an isolated event?  For example, I successfully
eliminated virtually all of the background noise from a recording without
affecting the quality of the voice.  When I would attempt to do this in
Goldwave, I would get that under-water cell phone distortion effect at times
in some parts of the recording.
