RE: Where to host my Files?

[Mike Bernard via Pc-audio]

You can post practicly anything you wish, personal or otherwise, and when you 
post something, you can choose the type of license you want to use. For 
example, you can either choose that the files be in the public domain, or if 
you prefer that restrictions be placed on the files, where as telling people 
what they can or can't do with the files. Here's a couple of links of 
information that explain how it all works:
https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/HOWTO_Publish 
https://archive.org/about/faqs.php
You can find more information as well as check out what the site is like by 
going to:
www.archive.org 
Good luck and hope this is helpful.

I have a wordpress.com blog and I used to be able to imbed a audio player using 
a short code and a dropbox public link but those were discontinued as of this

trouble with yetti microphone direct monitoring

[Mike Bernard via Pc-audio]

Hi everyone,
Hope you can help. My friend Jay is no longer able to hear direct monitoring
from his Yetti microphone. He had changed the some of the settings in the
recording devices portion of windows in order to record both his voice and
his screen reader at the same time. Once his recording session was
completed, however, he found that he can't hear direct monitoring via the
Yetti. He's tried unplugging the mike and plugging it back in, but no dice.
The mike itself works, its just that he can't hear himself speaking through
his headphones. The volume of the yetti's headset option is turned all the
way up, and his microphone settings within the computer itself hasn't been
changed. Any ideas as to what he can do to get the direct monitoring in the
Yetti to work again?

Hello everyone,

It's possible that someone on the list may have already asked this question
some time ago, but I have no way to confirm that. Anyway, I'd like to
install Virtual Audio Cable on my computer to check it out and see what its
like. However, while researching about the software, I'm a little concerned
about the complexity of the process. People online have been saying that
uninstalling VAC is not quite as straight forward as uninstalling other
programs is. I've heard, that Virtual Audio Cable is one of those programs
that likes to spread its particles all around the windows operating system,
which means having to messa round with the system registry and/or installing
some third-party software just to get rid of it. Have any of you ever tried
using this program? Is it really as difficult to uninstall as some people
say it is? I just thought I'd find out now, before installing some piece of
software to which I won't be able to uninstall very easily. Thanks in
advance for any help.

Mike

Hi Joanne,
I think I've found a solution to help. I've had this same issue at one time
where every time skype would ring, my audio would lower. To fix this, if you
can get to your sis tray, arrow to the right, until you get to something
that says speakers/headphones or speakers. This is where your ducking
options are. Press the applications key, and arrow down to sounds and press
enter. Then tab till you get to a tab control box and arrow to the right
till you hear communications. Next, tab until you get to a group of radio
buttons, and arrow down to the do nothing option. Then tab to ok, and you
should be all set. Hope this helps.

Subject: every media player on computer lowers jaws volume

Now I remember many of us struggling many years ago with the problem I'm
having, usually happening with the old real player but also with some winamp
output plug-ins.  So I'm surprised that it's happening and I know my
settings are right.  Jaws is set to allow other audio and my players are no
different than they've always been.  But whether it's Jaws 16 or 18--the 2 I
have on my windows 7 system--if I play an audio file and use Jaws, the Jaws
volume goes down super low.  I don't have loud volume on my media players
mostly because I want to work with other programs while listening to music.
But as soon as an audio file starts I can barely hear Jaws.  The file stops;
Jaws comes right back up to the right volume.  This is a dell system with
real tech high definition, and between Jaws going out and the shaky type
sound of the files I don't know if it's sound card or external speakers or
maybe Jaws needs repair?  And it's no respecter of media players--VLC,
Winamp and Windows Media Player all cause Jaws to lower volume.

Would appreciate any thoughts.

Joanne

Hi Dean,
I have an audio converter program to which you can download from the below

I've also  recommended a web site that converts such filetypes. The free

http://zamzar.com
They can convert various video, document, and/or audio files including the

Hi Andy,
There's really no way to get away from  a playlist in winamp. If you have
winamp set as your default player, of course, every time you press enter on
a file, it will play through winamp automaticly. However, the next time you
run winamp, the last file you entered will  show in the playlist.

Hi all.

I've been using Winamp for many many years now quite happily.

I don't create play lists, tag files or use anyplug ins.

All I do is make Winamp my default audio player and either press the enter
key on an album or within Applications, select play in winamp.

So I need a version of Winamp for another computer and I've no longer got
the softwear.

I got a copy of Winamp Version 5.... and installed it and straight away
it wanted me to create a playlist and it's seems that I can't get away from
this feature by disabling it.

Or am I wrong?

Any advice would be verry  very welcome.

Very best wishes.
Andy.

Howdy folks

I have a friend whose interested in getting a digital recorder, she 
doesn't have an iPhone, at least not yet.  She would prefer to spend no 
more than $100 to $120 tops, and since she's also blind it would have to 
have some kind of voice guidance.  Barring that, she'd have to have 
someone go through the menus and learn them that way.  Is there such a 
recorder?  I remember back in he early 2000s, there were lots of 
recorders that you could use and they were really accessible, they were 
great for podcasting.  I'm not sure if such recorders exist nowadays, 
but it would be great.  I'm also kind of curious about this myself I 
have to be honest.  But if anyone has any ideas that'd be great!

Thanks folks!

Hi everyone,

My friend Jay is trying to build a playlist in Win amp. But, for some
reason, files keep playing automatically when they're not supposed to.

Here's what he does:

1.   He presses l to open the add file to playlist dialog

2.   Navigates to the drive and folder where the file of interest is
located

3.   Presses enter on the filename.

When he presses enter on the file he wants to add to the list, the file is
added to the playlist like normal, however, the weird thing is that it
starts playing automatically. This is not supposed to happen. Also, if two
or more files are in the playlist, only one of them is actually showing. The
first file in the list shows, but files 2 and beyond don't show in the list.
Any ideas as to how he can fix this? Thanks.

Mike

Hello again Brian and fellow listers,

You can convert m4v files and others quite easily by going to:

http://www.zamzar.com

They can convert m4v files for you. The only downside to using this site, is
that if you have lots of m4v files, you'll have to upload them one at a
time. All you have to do, is go to the above site, upload an m4v file,
select what format you'd like it to be converted to, type in your email
address then press upload. Within a matter of minutes, you'll receive an
email from the site with a link leading to the file in accessible format
that you can download to your computer. Hope this helps. Oh by the way, it
doesn't cost anything to use this service.

Mike

Brian,
What file format are these files in? There's a video converter known as the
free video audio pack. Its quite interesting in the way you access it. You
simply download it and to open the program, all you have to do is click on
the .exe file you've downloaded and then click on the aps icon to open the
list of converters. I believe it contains 25 different video converters as
well as an audio converter. If you'd like, I could email a copy to you. I
have it on my machine, and it works wonders.

I currently use the built-in soundcard on my Yeti usb microphone to monitor
and listen to music as its playing over the air during my radio show.
However, once in a while, the Yeti's soundcard makes a crackling sound. I've
had this microphone for four years now, and it still works great. I'm
looking for a simple plug n play usb external soundcard that I can have on
hand, should in case anything goes wrong with the Yeti's soundcard. I have
both 2.0 and 3.0 usb ports on this computer. My version of Windows is 8.1,
and this is an HP desktop pc, running Window-Eyes as the screen reader.
Thanks.
