Re: Some CDEX questions
if you really want the highest quality rips possible, use Exact Audio copy with the Lame extreme preset. With the current version of Lame, variable bit rates with joint stereo deliver the extra fullness and richness when it is needed. EAC does offer a preset for 320 CBR, but the developer calls this setting insane. EAC, unlike CDEX, scans each track, looking for two exactly identical wave forms or the closest exact match possible. It repeatedly scans a tract, dozens of times if needed, before ripping it. CDEX does not perform this error checking analysis. If you want the best rips in town, use EAC. It takes longer to learn, but the rips sound really great. CDEX is easy to use and I still rip audio books with it. For industrial strength music output, I use EAC.

Re: RFB&D: Victor Reader vs. Bookport
I believe he is based on the subject line. However, the question is somewhat artificial. NLS will have its digital audio books available next year and folks likely want a machine that can access them as well as RFB books. Unfortunately, NLS uses DAISY version 3.0 while RFB uses DAISY 2.2. The difference being is that with version 2.2 players had to be initialized and authorized to play DAISY books wile with version 3.0 the books are unlocked when they are shipped to the end user, similar to today's analog system where an end user's device needs to be individually authorized. the book Port and perhaps the older victor Readers may not be able to play the NLS books. Humanware has already introduced a next generation player and a next generation Book Port is expected within the next six months or so. the new book Port will play DAISY 3.0 books from NLS.

Re: [blindreplay] Freecorder 2 & Freecorder Toolbar Scripts Wanted
Petro, You seem to be highly comfortable with the response that Applian uses third-party contractors for various components of its software business and therefore has no responsibility to its customers for the performance of these components, which in our case is the accessibility of Applian software. In the past decade and a half, the blind community and disability community as a whole have totally and completely rejected this buck passing. First the major software companies, including Microsoft, Real Networks, and Adobe have been expected from the get go to provide full access to their software, regardless of how it was developed. next, folks engaged the country's largest financial institutions to create access to banking services. The banks worked with vendors, contractors and service providers to deliver talking ATM's for the blind and accessible websites. These efforts led to the first legally binding settlement agreements that committed to web accessibility for people with disabilities. The bank projects were followed by initiatives on cell phone accessibility. the issue was that the wireless service providers passed the buck to the handset manufacturers. yet, the manufacturing companies said that they designed phones with significant input from the providers who would largely market and sell the phones. The arrangement was hardly that of an impartial, arms-length party just purchasing goods in the marketplace, passing the hot potato of access back to the wireless providers. The efforts led to a 2004 agreement by Audio and Verizon Communications to design, manufacture, market and sell a cell phone accessible to the blind with audio-enabled controls. similarly, people with disabilities expected accessibility of voting machines in the United States during the last election cycle during the 2006 elections. Software and control devices for some machines were developed or designed at some of the voting machine companies by foreign subsidiaries or third party vendors. Local election officials facilitated relationships with the various parties to obtain and significantly improve access, allowing voters with certain kinds of disabilities to vote independently for the first time. I realize that the large companies often have complex and many-layered relationships with their vendors and contractors. A vendor may develop or provide access to a product or service to prevent the institution from developing a relationship with another vendor who can provide access and possibly a whole lot more. The large companies can leverage these relationships to obtain consideration from vendors that smaller companies can't. all of this being said, it is highly disappointing that we seem to accept wholesale Applian's response regarding access issues with their products. They don't explain why access issues could not have been written into the contracts or agreements they have with their vendors. It is not clear if the company raised these issues in a meaningful manner early on in the relationship with the third party vendor or if it was an afterthought once the work was completed. In various areas of technology access for more than a decade, people with disabilities have worked with companies to achieve greater independence in their lives through technology. the third-party contractor argument has not been accepted by disability leaders who have worked on access in various sectors in the technology industry. In a similar way it has also been rejected by the mainstream as well. Wednesday's Wall Street Journal ran a lengthy page one investigation of how the largest retailers and apparel makers in the United States are responsible for incredible pollution in China for demanding ever lower prices, leading contractors to pollute the environment to save money. there was no suggestion that gap, Target, Nike, and the like had no responsibility because they used a third party vendor. Applian's shoulder shrugging and subsequent finger pointing to a third-party vender isn't a constructive response to developing accessible solutions. it is unclear why the company cannot incorporate accessible design into their relationships with these vendors or if they have even asked about it at the start of their relationship. I don't believe at this time why our expectations for access should be relaxed at this time when other organizations have been able to develop systems and approaches around these same issues. the end result has been access that we all now use and enjoy.

Re: MP3 Directcut
Mike, don't give up just yet. I had the same feeling once until I realized that new Windows installs mute nearly all the recording inputs. make sure you are looking at the recording properties in volume control rather than the playback properties. also, make sure your line in jacks and microphone are unmuted. On most Windows machines, you can only select the line in or microphone for recording but not both at the same time. Be sure the jack you are recording from is unmuted and selected.

Re: Ripping Music with WMP11
I just installed Exact Audio copy for the first time today. The program is a geek's paradise, but once thoroughly configured and tweaked, the rips really sound good. I'm using the latest LAME compression with 256 VBR joint stereo. When I played the sample rips through my Audiophile 2496 sound card in Winamp in 24 bit mode through my Logitech Z-2300 2.1 Speaker System, which is 200 watts and THX certified, it sounded like a mini concert right in front of me! I doubt seriously that Microsoft can match the finely tuned LAMED presets created after thousands of hours of trial and error from a bevy of developers around the world. Why settle for any MP3 extraction when you can have an exact audio copy? The program has some keyboard shortcuts and it is nearly fully accessible. What is not easily accessible are tooltips in configuration dialogues, which mostly can be accessed with a review cursor or an online tutorial.

Re: program to record vidio and audio
Google video and You tube use flash to play the videos. Flash movies can be stream captured with various stream capturing software. I used Replay A/v. The program was still capturing after two hours and ten minutes. by that time, the file size was nearly 400 megabytes. I stopped the capturing at that point. What was captured played in a Flash player in a box the size of the palm of your hand just like on Google video. Why not just buy the DVD of the video and make copies? It would be a hell of a lot easier than capturing a huge file so people can play it on one-eighth of their computer screen. with a regular DVD, it can be viewed on a standard DVD player in full screen on the living room TV quite comfortably.

Re: RFBD CD portable Players and software
A couple of weeks ago, I spoke to the director of the RFB studio here in Chicago about DAISY players. The studio has an extensive outreach effort with folks going to schools and meeting with borrowers throughout the Chicago area and Midwest. The Telex Scholar has its buttons arranged in a circular manner. Many blind end users I am told do not like it and find it troublesome to use. The buttons are not easily identified tactily and they have multiple functions. Most blind users prefer units, based on extensive interviews with teachers and print-impaired end users, that have a telephone-style keypad rather than one arranged in a circle. For what it is worth, I considered my options this past month in choosing one of these units. My CD/Mp3 player no longer played MP3's and appeared on its last legs. I had the unit just about 18 months, listening to it about 15 hours a week. I agonized over the issue because I recognized that the CD at this point is a transitional technology. Its days are numbered and I don't want to be holding the bag. Also, CD players are mechanical devices and may not be as durable as solid state devices with no moving parts. I bristled over the prospect of chucking a pricy DAISY player every 18 months. I ended up choosing the Bookport. To my knowledge it is the only solid state device that can play the DAISY CD books from RFB. I believe the Bookport will have a longer lifespan than a CD player with none of the problems of fingerprints or scratches that plague the use of CD's. Further, the Bookport represents a total and complete portable media access device. In addition to playing DAISY books, it plays MP3 files and reds text files with a built in speech synthesizer. Wile the Bookport sports a higher price tag than most of the portable DAISY CD players, the added durability and functionality turn the price into a extremely fair value.

Re: mp3 cds vs data cds
Denny, Check your manual but it is possible to make a regular audio cd, playable in any CD player, from a bunch of MP3s. the only catch is that they need to be less than 76 minutes to comport with the Red Book CD standard or less than 80 minutes for nearly all blanks these days. simply copying MP3s as files to a blank CD is creating a data CD, even though you can play the MP3's as audio files. I have found that CD MP3 players will play all bit rates with the only exception being some of the lowest bitrates, which does not apply to your situation. Encoding preferences are a matter of personal preference and how golden your ears are. I recently switched from encoding at 192 bit full stereo highest quality to 256 full stereo highest quality. it is more disc space, twice the amount of a 128 bit encoding project, but great sound and quality. with storage so cheap and plentiful these days the extra space is not an issue for me.

Re: Why the iPod is losing its cool
And who is responsible for that? the Washington Post in an article on new year's eve says the tag team of Republican Congressman Tom Delay and Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff bought off local elected officials and blocked efforts in congress to investigate the matter or impose tougher labor standards and human rights enforcement. The republican party has also stood in the way. The Republican Chairman of the House resource committee has blocked hearings and investigations on the Mariana situation requested by Congressman George Miller of California. the excerpt and link to the story is below. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/30/AR2005123001480_pf.html In addition to the million-dollar payment involving the London law firm, for example, half a million dollars was donated to the U.S. Family Network by the owners of textile companies in the Mariana Islands in the Pacific, according to the tax records. The textile owners -- with Abramoff's help -- solicited and received DeLay's public commitment to block legislation that would boost their labor costs, according to Abramoff associates, one of the owners and a DeLay speech in 1997. - Original Message - From: "Dana S.

Re: Realplayer, to install or not to install
Jonathan, I would agree. I have tried the alternatives and they don't play all the possible Real Player streams available at the high sound quality that Real Player offers. I just installed Real Player on a new computer about a month ago. It is important to pay very close attention when installing the program, as it does ask if you want to install other things, like the Google toolbar. this is totally optional, but a mindless click through installation will install all of this junk. also, I spent about an hour configuring the program after installing it. I deselected all file types except Real Player and disabled other features that made Real Player the default player each time the computer started. I also disabled the browser. A mindless instillation and lack of configuration I think will likely result in disappointment by a blind user. If this is done, there will be many hours of enjoyable listening. besides the hurricane station, some other broadcasts are only available in Real Audio. these include radio Netherlands, Air America Radio, and Bloomberg.

The article said workers for Apple assemble iPods by hand standing up at tables for 14 hours a day. They are paid much less then other factory workers in China. If they try to stretch their arms or legs after many hours of standing nearly still, Apple's minders force them to do push ups and humiliate them in front of other workers. The offending worker is then slapped with mandatory overtime, toiling until they virtually collapse from exhaustion and stress. How "cool" is that? Kelly The Observer [UK] Sunday September 10, 2006 Why the iPod is losing its cool Apple has added ever more extras to its digital music-player in a bid to stem falling sales. But fears are rising that the device is now too common to be cutting edge David Smith, technology correspondent The Mermaid, Puddle Dock, is not the first place you might go in search of the cool and cutting edge. That will not stop an expectant crowd gathering at the conference centre in London's Blackfriars this week for a live satellite broadcast from San Francisco that could make or break one of the consumer icons of the Western world. The iPod, the digital music player beloved of everyone from Coldplay's Chris Martin to President George Bush, is in danger of losing its sheen. Sales are declining at an unprecedented rate. Industry experts talk of a 'backlash' and of the iPod 'wilting away before our eyes'. Most disastrously, Apple's signature pocket device with white earphones may simply have become too common to be cool. On Tuesday the eyes of iPod-lovers the world over will be on Steve Jobs, the co-founder and chief executive of Apple, when he seeks to allay fears that it could follow Sony's tape-playing Walkman into the recycling bin of history. Jobs is widely expected to announce the most ambitious iPod service yet - the sale of feature-length films via the internet for viewing on the devices, which may receive an expanded 'widescreen' and improved storage capacity. If downloading movies from a computer to an iPod proves even half as revolutionary as it did for music, the multibillion-pound DVD industry could be quaking. There are rumours that Jobs will also announce a long expected 'iPhone', combining the music function and sleek style of an iPod with a mobile phone. Industry-watchers warn that the iPod could soon be regarded by teenage cynics as their 'parents' player' because a mass-market product rarely equates with edgy fashionability. Although it has sold nearly 60 million actual iPods and a billion downloaded songs worldwide, cracks have begun to appear in the edifice. The Zandl Group, a New York-based trends forecaster which regularly interviews a panel of 3,000 consumers aged 25-35, recently picked up its first significant criticisms. 'The iPod is far and away the most popular tech gadget with our panellists - however, for the first time we are hearing negative feedback about the iPod from some panellists,' said the organisation's spokeswoman, Carla Avruch. 'Panellists cite that the batteries are not replaceable, so when they die the entire player must be replaced,' she said. 'We have heard from some conspiracy theorists that the batteries are made to die soon after the warranty ends. 'Other complaints are that iTunes [Apple's online music store] is overpriced and the format is not easily transferred on to other players. In our ethnography interviews, some long-time iPod-users told us that they have stopped updating their iPods because it's too much work, while other consumers who had bought iPods more recently had not even taken theirs out of the package to set it up.' She added that the iPod is in danger of becoming a victim of its own success: 'Some backlash is against the ubiquity of the iPod - everyone has those white headphones on the train.' Analysts warn that the iPod has passed its peak. From its launch five years ago its sales graph showed a consistent upward curve, culminating in a period around last Christmas that saw a record 14 million sold. But sales fell to 8.5 million in the following quarter, and down to 8.1 million in the most recent three-month period. Wall Street is reportedly starting to worry that the bubble will burst. Tomi Ahonen, a technology brand expert and author, said: 'For the first time the iPod has had two consecutive falls after 17 quarters of growth. If I were the manager, I would be wanting my people to explain what is going on. The iPod is wilting away before our eyes.' He cited new mobile phones with improved MP3 players as the cause of the iPod's dwindling appeal. 'In 2005 all the big phone manufacturers released phones that play music. Phones are out

Didn't the bastards force the blank cassette companies to slap on a copying surcharge to blank cassettes? Fortunately, the insane policy wasn't forced on the computer industry, who has the bucks to forcefully make the case that the bulk of blank CD's and DVD's are used for legal purposes.

Re: burning cds with windows media
I use Windows media Player to take Windows Media or MP3 files and burn them as regular audio CD's that can be played on any CD player. When the focus is on the file or folder I want to convert and burn, I press the application key, next to the right control key, and select the item "add to burn list." For multiple files, I create a folder and add them to it. windows Media player is then launched. the interface is messy but it can all be accessed through tabbing. I press the burn button and then tab to the button labeled "start burn button." and select it. In a few minutes, presto, my computer has just baked me an audio cd that can be listened to in a car.

Re: recording from tape
I had this similar problem when I started my tape digitization project a few months ago. I discovered that the settings on my sound card needed to be changed. go to your volume control and choose properties from the file menu. then choose recording properties from the combo box. Uncheck the what you hear option. some sound cards don't have this and instead have an option called a stereo mix or a mono mix. Uncheck these as well. Now check the line in input where your tape deck is connected to your computer, such as line in or line in 2.

Re: Understanding and comparing compression formats
the options you mentioned with Windows media ripping are also available in ripping MP3s with CDEX. remember it is in Microsoft's interest to make windows Media appear to be a much more attractive experience than the infinitely portable and compatible MP3 format. With MP3 encoding, files can be encoded on various levels of quality, with fixed or variable bit rates in full stereo. One thing to consider is the likelihood that the files you rip can be played on other people's computers with different kinds and versions of software and on portable devices in the present and future. many CD players can play MP3 files but only a fraction of these can also play Windows Media files. to verify this, just go to bestbuy.com and review the portable CD players available for sale. Most play MP3 files but only one can also play windows Media files as well. I encode most of the music I rip in MP3 at 256 bit in full stereo at the very highest quality. Kelly - Original Message - From: "Yardbird" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC-Audio" Sent: Saturday, May 07, 2005 12:39 AM Subject: Understanding and comparing compression formats I've just been learning how to rip music from CDs to my hard drive using several different programs, and the one that interests me most at present is Windows Media Player because of the variety of formats it offers. As I explore and test these formats, one thing confuses me: You can rip Windows Media Audio files about six different ways, not counting the lossless option. Now, I'm aware that .mp3 ripping can be adjusted to use bit rates higher than the default 128 in order to restore a little of the information that a lower bit rate strips out. but understanding that is simple compared to the range of .wma options. Here's the main thing that puzzles me. In the WMP menu for setting your rip options, there are *two* sets of .wma options, each with its own range of sound quality level. First is the .wma choice that uses a slider to provide you with,as I recall, three levels of sound quality. I've ripped the same track with all three, and not only listened to them-- the differences are audible to me, although pretty subtle compared to the difference between any of them and a less compressed lossless or uncompress .wav version. Still, for saving space, I appreciate the compression, so I remain interested. Okay. So the smallest .wma sound quality level creates a really small file, much smaller than the same tune ripped to .mp3. And it doesn't sound any worse than the .mp3, was my impression. The next higher levels create larger files, with the highest quality level creating a file for any given track that's about the same size as a 192 bit rate .mp3. If I go this way, I'd suppose that's the method I'd use, so you get a little better sound quality than an .mp3 for the same file size. But then, right beneath this on that menu, there's a variable bit rate .wma option, again set by a slider, but this time starting at 0 per cent and going up. Zero per cent of what? And, more to the point, if this has to do with changing bit rates (doesn't the other method, I wonder? How else would you change quality except by varying the bit rate?) where are the indications for *what* bit rate this slider takes you through? So that's it. I'm really wondering about this stuff as I try to settle on a preferred rip method to set for my usual use. Does anyone understand whatever it is I'm not getting about these two adjustable .ma formats? Is there anywhere to read a simple primer about them? I don't feel the need to do research if someone can just explain what it is I'm not understanding. But just in case there's some online information about this that would clarify it all, that would be fine, too. Thanks, Daniel -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Re: Anybody tried "Replay-Radio"?
There is indeed. I haven't tried it yet though. I will probably start trying and installing things once I finish my cassette digitization project in a month or two. I do one side of a cassette a day as a real time transfer is required. I carefully analyze each tape or tape series and set appropriate recording levels so to avoid the pain in the ass calisthenics of re-setting audio properties, I'm waiting until later until my current project is finished before deciding on an optimal stream capture solution.

Re: recording problem in sound forge
Kevin, Thanks, that did it! All I needed to do was uncheck the stereo mix checkbox and everything is back to normal. for others with integrated sound cards wanting to know the exact issue and steps I took: when Replay Radio was installed, it essentially checked the checkbox for either the stereo mix or the mono mix in the recording properties dialogue. This has the effect of recording the entire speaker output when making recordings using the line in input with other programs, such as the Sound forge editing program. to fix this, I went to the recording properties dialogue programs/accessories/entertainment/volume and when I was in the volume control dialogue, I went to the menu and selected properties. In this property sheet, I cursored down to recording properties. the default is playback. I then tabbed to a list and selected all items to display and then pressed the ok button. In the next property sheet, I found that the stereo mix checkbox was checked. I had selected stereo mix during installation of Replay radio. I suppose if someone chose mono mix, that checkbox would have been checked instead. I made sure that my line in checkbox was checked and unchecked all other boxes. presto, it worked!!! the downside is likely that one may need to tinker with the property sheet when switching between Replay radio and other programs that record sound, like sound forge. however, the two programs can easily co-exist on the same computer. lesson of the story: when in the middle of a project, even one that might last for weeks or months, don't install programs that preform a similar function on your computer. these programs may change settings that the user is unaware of and will then need to painstaikenly track down and finely adjust to return to the previous settings that were working well.

If you uncheck this, the volumes should remain where you had them set. Also, you may have to check your settings to be sure the soundcard drivers and not replay-radio drivers are being used when you open sound forge. This can be checked under the volume control, options, properties tab. The optional esc driver replay radio offers may also be a part of the problem if you installed it. It sometimes conflicts with other sound drivers.

recording problem in sound forge
yesterday I downloaded the stream capture and recording program replay radio. it was surprisingly accessible and easy to use and install. My horror of horrors arrived today when I tried to continue my cassette digitization project using Sound forge and my line in jack. My finely tuned volume level is way out of wack. worse yet, it seems that replay radio has mess up with the sound card. Now sound forge records everything played through my computer speakers, including JAWS and the speech synthesizer and windows Sounds. it did not do this before. Is this typical with programs like replay Radio and total recorder and others? Can the two types of programs co-exist on one system along with a soft synth? how can I get things back to the way they were? I have a RealTek AC97 Audio imbedded sound card using windows XP home with JAWS 6.0 and sound Forge 5.0.

Re: backupping cassett tapes
I'm just now getting around to this mammoth project. I got really serious when I received a series of cassettes from my library on international library loan. When I put cassette #3 into the machine, the tape came off the tape reel and the cassette was unusable. Fortunately, they had made a backup copy of the cassettes, which they sent me after the long and predictable delays of mailing the defective cassette series back to the library, them mailing it back to the originating library and that library mailing a new series back to my local library. I am quite fearful that playing a tape more than once might cause another problem. Fortunately I had purchased Sound Forge 5.0 a few years ago when some online store was running a great special that tossed in the noise reduction bundle. The fear of another tape snafu motivated me to learn how to feed the tape output into my computer, edit the blank space at the beginning and end of the recording, and apply the noise reduction plug in to reduce dramatically the tape hiss. Ideally, you would use Sound Forge with the noise reduction bundle so the tape hiss can be removed. the next project is a cassette tutorial I have. last week a cassette from the tutorial got twisted in my tape player. It was necessary to unscrew the cassette and take it apart to reach the tape and flatten it out. I may only have a few plays of this cassette before it self-destructs. I am slowly getting annoyed with cassette technology and its hassles.

Re: Nero help please!
to copy a whole disc, I use the Nero Wizard exclusively. The first time it is really important to examine each dialogue box carefully to ensure that the intended action is selected, but after that, using the Wizard requires very few brain cells. to enable the Wizard, go to help and check the checkbox "use Nero wizard." close the program and then open it. When it starts, you will be greeted by the Nero Wizard. Just follow the dialogues to copy your CD. to return to the multi-select dialogue, press escape when the Wizard opens, so you are at the tree-based file menu, and go to help and uncheck the Nero Wizard checkbox. close the program and re-open it again.

Re: searching titles and artists of mp3s on your hard disk

I use a program called Audigen to catalogue all of my MP3 and WMA music. you simply copy and paste your music files into the database from anywhere on your computer, they could be held on different drives or even an external drive, and you are then able to browse by artist, album, genre or all tracks in a windows explorer interface in a single database. If you prefer you can use a web browser style interface that will present the same database in a web page with links for the categories. You can do simple and complex searches. For example, a simple search will fetch back perhaps all artists and albums and tracks with the word "Black" in them. A complex search could be something along the lines of selecting all tracks with the word black in the track name only where the year is 1979 and the bit rate is greater than or equal to 192kbps. Another feature of audigen is that you can create a web server so that you can play or download your music from any computer with an internet connection and all functions are available in the same way. You can control who signs onto your server by setting up user names and passwords. This software cost me $17 and it's the best software buy I've ever made. The program is produced by red chair software so anyone familiar with notmad explorer or annipod explorer will be completely familiar with the interface.

Computer, microphone, iPod make broadcasting personal
I just ran across this article about the latest computer audio trend: podcasting. One of the celebrities of the podcasting world is former MTV veejay Adam Curry whose audio postings can be found at curry.com Kelly The Boston Globe December 20, 2004 Computer, microphone, iPod make broadcasting personal By Peter J. Howe, Globe Staff Richie Carey has heard the future of radio. It's on an iPod music player. Carey, a 38-year-old website developer and marketing consultant from Sandwich, is among an early wave of fans for a new broadcast medium dubbed ''podcasting" -- audio content that listeners download from websites to iPods or similar digital music player devices. ''I can subscribe to custom-made audio that is whatever I want to hear, and that's powerful stuff in my mind," Carey said. ''I'm really in love with the technology of it." So much so that Carey is not just a daily consumer of podcasted talk shows about technology and politics but a fledgling podcaster himself. He has a regular audience of about 50 people who download his ''definitely not polished" spoken musings about life, personal electronics, and even the importance of getting your brakes checked -- a ''podcast" he made and instantly posted from his cellphone while sitting outside the Sears repair shop one day recently. ''This is technology that gives me a voice I never had a month ago," Carey said. ''It's amazing how someone can now make a cellphone call that can be heard all around the world." If Internet-based weblogs turned everyone into a potential newspaper columnist, and digital cameras let them become photojournalists, podcasting is promising to let everyone with a microphone and a computer become a radio commentator. A key factor driving the blossoming trend is the booming sales of Apple's iPod music devices. Financial analysts expect Apple to sell more than 4 million units during the three months ending with Christmas, double the rate of sales just three months earlier. Many retailers are calling the iPod this year's must-have gift craze like Cabbage Patch dolls or the Rubik's Cube from decades past. Nearly 6 million iPods have been sold globally, and they account for nearly 90 percent of the market for portable digital music players that work off a computer-chip memory. Two other geek-speak trends, weblogs and TiVo, also help explain the podcasting phenomenon. Like weblogs, anything-goes Web pages in which bloggers post observations and links to pages they recommend, podcasts are a vehicle for delivering highly specialized, eclectic content to narrow audiences. Like weblogs, many sound more like a heart-to-heart conversation -- or rant -- than a radio broadcast. Podcasts have also been called ''TiVo for radio," referring to the TiVo digital video recording boxes that let people record hours' worth of television broadcasts to watch later when they want, and with the benefit of a fast-forward button, too. A podcast clearinghouse called iPodderx.com now typically offers 900 to 1,700 podcasts each day, ranging from news on God to information about sex, vegan diets, and music from obscure amateur artists. A heavy focus is chat about information technology and computers, including ''Tech Chick Weekly," offering ''a female perspective" on geek issues. Many podcasts are largely aural recreations of conventional weblogs by the bloggers themselves. ''The cool thing about podcasts is I listen to them when I want to," said Steve Garfield, 46, a video producer and editor from Jamaica Plain who has tuned into a podcast called ''Trade Secrets" since it went live on Sept. 1. The show is co-produced by Adam Curry, a former host on the MTV music video channel, and Dave Winer, a software developer who has produced a Google-style search engine called iPodder. Winer's service not only tracks down podcasts, it arranges for new ones to be automatically syndicated to listeners' devices, which can just as easily be personal computers as iPods. Garfield loves loading up his iPod, before taking a long walk around Jamaica Pond, with the latest edition of ''The Dawn and Drew Show," the real-life and often off-color bantering of a husband and wife in rural Wisconsin. He also likes downloading one of the few mass-market shows now being podcast, ''Morning Stories" on Boston's WGBH-FM public radio station. The podcast version of ''Morning Stories," five-minute human-interest segments, has posted numbers that people in the radio business would envy. In the past two months, the audience for the podcast segments of the show has grown 12,000-fold, from a grand total of five downloads for the entire month of September to 60,000 in November, according to producer Tony Kahn. As a public station that doesn't have ads to skip, WGBH has nothing to lose by making broadcasts available for free. Bob Lyons, director of radio and new media initiatives for WGBH, said that technologically, ''it's trivial" to reformat a bro
Re: Minidisk Vs. Mp3
Probably both. the recorder from the guy from the radio station had a two gigabyte memory card. If uncompressed audio on the machine is encoded at about 700 bits, as it is with .wav files, then the two gigabyte cards on this machine will hold about 5.5 hours, which is what he described as their recording capacity. As a professional recordist, he was only interested in creating .wav files. I suspect when these devices leave the pro domain and become mass market items some may offer mp3 recording. however, editing .wav files is far preferable than an mp3.

Tale of the Tape: Audiophiles Bemoan The End of the Reel
this was on the front page of today's Wall Street Journal. It looks like reel to reel tape is no more with the company that was Ampex stopping production. It looks like digital and PC audio is about to totally rule and top musicians like Jeff Tweedy are in a histrionic panic. Jeff Tweedy and the group wilco burst upon the national scene with the breathtaking blockbuster album "Yankee Hotel foxtrot" and the movie "I don't Want to Break Your heart" in 2003. Kelly the Wall Street Journal January 12, 2005; Page A1 Tale of the Tape: Audiophiles Bemoan The End of the Reel As Quantegy Shuts Plant, Purists Snap Up Supply; NASA Feels the Crunch By ETHAN SMITH and SARAH MCBRIDE Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Jeff Tweedy, leader of the rock group Wilco, prefers to record music on reel-to-reel tape rather than on the digital equipment that has overtaken the music industry. Purists like him think it confers a warmth and richness to recordings that a computer cannot. But last Friday, Mr. Tweedy hit a snag as he prepared for a session in Wilco's Chicago studio space: Nobody could find any of the professional-grade audio tape the band is accustomed to using. "I was under the impression that there was a shortage of tape in Chicago," Mr. Tweedy says. What he didn't yet realize was that the shortage is global. Quantegy Inc., which may be the last company in the world still manufacturing the high-quality tape, abruptly shut down its Opelika, Ala., plant on Dec. 31, leaving audiophiles in the lurch. Quantegy filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Monday and hopes a restructuring will eventually revive its operations. But its future is uncertain, inasmuch as demand also is dwindling for its videotape. The news has set off a frantic scramble in the music industry as producers and studios seek to secure as much Quantegy tape as possible. By the middle of last week, most suppliers around the country had sold out their entire stocks of reel-to-reel audio tape. The supply that remained came at prices rapidly escalating above the usual $140-per-reel wholesale price of Quantegy 2-inch tape. Walter Sear, a prominent New York studio owner, quickly snapped up 60 or 70 reels, some at prices that had ballooned by as much as 40%. "We'll have to change our approach to life without tape," Mr. Sear says. Quantegy is hearing from customers all over the world trying to secure the professional-grade tape. A Japanese musician e-mailed from Tokyo, eager to get more for a recording session. Richard Lindenmuth, Quantegy's president and chief executive, says he'll try to help. Some customers are trying to organize their own bailouts of his company. Andrew Kautz, president of the Society of Professional Audio Recording Services, called Mr. Lindenmuth Friday hoping to get a one-time special order, a request Mr. Lindenmuth is considering. The crunch reaches far beyond the recording industry. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration uses Quantegy tape on its space shuttles to record information ranging from pressure to temperature. This week NASA has been trying to buy 20 reels from Quantegy. Even Hollywood is affected. Some die-hard moviemakers believe voices sound better recorded on analog tape. In making "Spider-Man 2" and the Harry Potter movies, digital recording technology has taken the front seat, but backups of dialogue were recorded on reels of Quantegy tape. Engineers are also worried about how long digital recordings will last. Tape was used to record most music after World War II. In the heyday of tape recording, it was common for rock bands with big recording budgets to run through hundreds of reels of tape in making just one album. But over the past decade, the tape has been rapidly outmoded by cheaper, more convenient computer-based digital recording. People in the music industry say that as few as 5% of albums are recorded and mixed using audio tape. The purists have a romantic attachment to the taping process. "It's a much more musical medium than digital could ever dream of being," says Joe Gastwirt, a mastering engineer who has worked with the Grateful Dead and others. "It actually does something to the music." Most of the industry gravitated to the cheaper digital technique, however, transforming tape from a commodity to a boutique item. That changeover has wiped out a once-hardy field of competitors. Quantegy was founded shortly after World War II by John Herbert Orr, a former Army major who called the company Orradio Industries. Ampex Corp., a maker of recording equipment, bought Orradio in 1959 and renamed it Ampex Magnetic Tape. Over the years, Quantegy went head-to-head with various competitors, including European brands like Emtec Magnetics and BASF. But as the market began to fall off, Ampex decided to get out of the tape business in 1995, and spun off Quantegy that year. As computer technology overtook the recording industry in the late 1990s

MPAA ally plants malware on PCs deliberately
these bastards are evil, really evil. they'll ruin your PC and grin while doing it, just like the gangbanger who shoots your best friend and laughs. Kelly PC World.com - Dec 29, 2004 http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,119016,00.asp Risk Your PC's Health for a Song? Ads and adware have a new way to get on your computer--through files that appear to be music and video. by Andrew Brandt and Eric Dahl, PCWorld.com Think you're downloading a new song or video? Watch out--that file may be stuffed with pop-ups and adware. PC World has learned that some Windows Media files on peer-to-peer networks such as Kazaa contain code that can spawn a string of pop-up ads and install adware. They look just like regular songs or short videos in Windows Media format, but launch ads instead of media clips. When we ran the files, we noted over half a dozen pop-ups, some attempts to download adware onto our test PC, and an attempt to hijack our browser's home page. However, you can take steps to guard your PC against this ad invasion. Off-Key Experience A reader initially alerted PC World to an ad-laden Windows Media Audio file, titled "Alicia Keys Fallin' Songs In A Minor 4.wma." We then found two other WMA files and two Windows Media Video files that had been similarly modified. Using a packet analysis tool called Etherpeek, we determined that each media file loaded a page served by a company called Overpeer (owned by Loudeye). That page set off a chain of events that led to the creation of several Internet Explorer windows, each containing a different ad or adware. Overpeer first made news in mid-2002 by offering its services to record companies looking to stop P-to-P pirates. It creates fake audio files that purport to be popular songs but play only a short loop of the track or an antipiracy message; the file then pops up a window offering the downloader a chance to buy the song. By flooding file-sharing services with spoofed files, Overpeer makes finding real music files more difficult. Marc Morgenstern, Loudeye vice president and general manager of digital media asset protection, says the files we found come from a different division of the company--one that targets users with promotions or ads based on the keywords those users search for on P-to-P networks or in other venues. Though the two businesses differ, the result is likely the same--a further reduction in the effectiveness of popular P-to-P networks. Morgenstern characterized Overpeer's actions as just deserts for people who illegally trade copyrighted works for free. "Remember, the people who receive something like (the ad-laden media files), in some cases, were on P-to-P, and they were trying to get illicit files," he says. Firms Surprised PC World contacted Microsoft and the seven ad-serving companies whose ads popped up when we ran the Keys audio file. "We're looking into exactly what's going on with this file and checking to see if this particular model is in keeping with the licensing terms for Windows Media [Digital Rights Management]," says David Caulton, group product manager for Microsoft's Windows Digital Media Division. "We wouldn't want to endorse anything that involved delivery of content that appears to be one thing, and then something else is delivered." Only one of the advertising firms, Kanoodle, responded to us. "Kanoodle stringently vets all prospective partners to determine in advance how they will distribute our sponsored links," Lance Podell, the company's president emailed PC World. "As in this case, upon detecting or discovering any prohibited distribution activity, we eliminate it immediately." Indeed, Kanoodle's ads no longer appear when we relaunch the file. DRM Loophole A loophole in the Windows Media DRM process allows companies to create ersatz media files and link them to adware. Normally, when you download a protected Windows Media file, you also receive a license that lets you play it. According to Caulton, if Windows Media Player can't find a valid license on your PC, it checks in with a remote system running Microsoft's Windows Media DRM Server. You'll rarely see that happen. Some files, though, are set up to ask you for information before playing. They do this by displaying a URL in a dialog box labeled License Acquisition. Normally that dialog box is used to check for a user name or offer a chance to purchase the file that's being played. For example, a legitimate DRM-encrypted file might let you play it three times, then bring up a window asking if you want to buy it. Or a band might offer a song to you for free if you agreed to sign up for its mailing list or view a 15-second commercial. At least, that's the way it's supposed to work. But since the license dialog box acts just like
Re: Live365 and having to register???
yes, I think you described the current state of affairs. to listen to Live365, one must register at the site, similar to registering at a newspaper website in order to read that particular paper. when you register, you can choose the preferred media player to listen to Live 365 stations, such as winamp. once you register, Live 365 places a cookie on your computer so your registration information is obtained automatically. some audio streams do this to track listenership, as royalty payments are based on how many listeners are listening to a particular song and how long they listen to the song. We have bill Clinton to thank for this scheme as he signed the digital Millennium copyright Act. also, aggregated listener information allows for better selling of airtime to advertisers.

Re: Saving a CD
Jim, Why horse around with windows media Player when there is CDEX which does exactly what you want and is far easier to use and configure? regarding windows media, is your default folder for ripped files in windows media the My Music folder? have you tried changing this to another folder since this is no longer existent? My hunch is that since the program doesn't find the folder in your hard drive as it is listed in its configuration it fails to execute as there is no specified folder in which to place the ripped files. Try going to your recycle bin and restoring the folder. If you don't want the files in it, delete them and try ripping again.

Face the music
Here's what is projected to be the future of recorded music in the next five years. More audio on the PC and fewer people paying $18 for an album. Kelly Chicago Sun-Times March 28, 2004 Face the music BY JIM DEROGATIS POP MUSIC CRITIC The music industry stands at an historic crossroads -- almost every aspect of the way people consume and listen to popular music is changing, dwarfing even the seismic shift in the 1880s when music lovers turned from sheet music and player pianos to wax cylinders and later, in 1915, newfangled 78 rpm phonograph discs. The one thing all of the experts agree upon is that these changes -- which are already under way -- will be dramatic, quick and inevitable. But no one knows exactly where they will lead. Compact discs, the dominant form of recorded music today, may be extinct within the next few years -- or they may continue to appeal to some percentage (know one knows the exact number) of (probably older) music buyers, while young listeners turn exclusively to downloaded music files. Concerts as we know them may become much rarer -- or they may experience a revival on a smaller level, up to mid-size theaters, so long as promoters offer great sounds at a good value. Mom-and-pop record stores may disappear, as a consequence of downloading music and shopping online -- or they may become ever-more specialized and valued centers of the music scene. Similarly, the audience for AM and FM radio may dwindle, thanks to competition from satellite and Internet broadcasting -- or it may survive, if programmers continue to view their stations as a center for communities and not just pre-programmed jukeboxes. To get some picture of what the future might hold, the Sun-Times turned to 20 of the top people in the Chicago music industry -- including concert promoters, retailers and radio programmers -- and asked all of them the same question: Look into your crystal ball and tell us what you think the music industry will look like five years from now. Their answers are illuminating, and they offer as clear a picture of the future of music as anyone today can accurately predict. Ken Waagner Internet music consultant Waagner, who works with artists such as Wilco and Lucinda Williams, coordinating their presence on the Web, believes that CDs will still be a part of the music world in five years, but the shift toward the Internet is irreversible. "It's a generational thing," he said. "Over the age of 25, people will continue to have an attachment to CDs. Under 25, they may never buy a CD, ever. I see an iPod being in every kid's life, or a Windows media player being in everyone's hand. "From a record company standpoint, it behooves them not to have physical goods: There are breakage and shipping costs and manufacturing costs, and selling files online is easier, cheaper and has higher profit margins. What I really see is that more and more you will see artists being less dependent on the record company as a whole." Tera Siwicki National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Siwicki recently became the executive vice president of the Chicago chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences -- the folks who hand out the Grammys, as well as campaigners for artist's rights. She is optimistic that changes in technology will bring a new emphasis to the music side of the music business. "As things get more electronic, the industry is going to have to come up with much more creative ways to market a product besides cover art and liner notes," she said. "And maybe the image of the artist won't be as important as the music itself. If a song is floating around on iTunes, you're not necessarily looking at the person, you're looking for music. If there isn't a focus on the image, then maybe people will focus on the craft." Bettina Richards Thrill Jockey Records As the founder and owner of Thrill Jockey, one of the most respected U.S. independent labels (and home to Tortoise, Eleventh Dream Day and many other underground favorites), Richards sees digital downloading as only a small part of her own label's future -- perhaps 20 percent of the business in the next few years. "Most of our artists, who maybe two or three years ago were opposed to their music being distributed in that manner, have changed their minds," Richards said. "It's not their preferred format, but they'd rather that kids pay for it than get it for free. But for those who still prefer to buy the hard copy, we are really trying to make our CDs have something extra that you cannot get from a download -- extensive information in a booklet, a CD-ROM or DVD component, coupons for contests -- an extra reward." Jim Powers Minty Fresh Records A former major-label executive who founded his own record company (and brought us Veruca Salt and the Cardigans, among others), Powers disagrees with Richards -- he's convinced that CDs will
