RE: can I record from my turntable using GoldWave?
Make sure all of your devices are set to the right device settings in GW. You can do this by hitting F11 and going through all the tabs. If it isn't responding, go into your control panel and look at your sounds settings. Then it's pretty much play and record via control F9. I would set a short test file to record into at first. Have you recorded anything before on GW? If not, I strongly suggest you go to Rick Harmon's web site and listen to the tutorials he has there. They are very, very useful. There are some very necessary things you should do before recording. Some are trial and error, but it's best to listen to the tutorials and follow along: http://www.blind-geek-zone.net/ Cheers, Peter -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Randy Tijerina Sent: Saturday, August 22, 2009 2:52 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: can I record from my turntable using GoldWave? well how do I do that.

The N82 is great! One can add on many, many applications. I use Talks just fine. Get the phone unblocked though as others have said. I'm trying to get a prepaid plan right now and dump AT&T.

Hi there. Do any of our Audible audio books listeners know if one loses the ability to listen or transfer already purchased books if one temporarily suspends their account? I did this about a month ago until my finances are more steady. I just tried to transfer a previously purchased book from a few months back onto my book courier from my external hard drive and I am unable to do so. The files show as being there in Windows Explorer and in Audible Manager, but I get a message that no files are available. This doesn't seem right since I have paid for these books.

Electronics reviewed by VIBUG...Hi there, I thought I'd pass this tidbit along from the Visually Impaired & Blind User Group of Boston. It's a great techie organization and I value whatever they advocate. Cheers, Peter -Original Message- From: Amy Ruell [mailto:aru...@comcast.net] Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 9:20 AM To: aru...@comcast.net Subject: Barry Scheur of Talking Solutions will announce the launch and demo for the first time three new low cost audio products that his company is marketing. The most exciting is the "Stream Sound" a very small battery powered speaker that significantly increases the volume of the Victor Stream and other devices while preserving excellent sound quality. Weighing only 1.5 ounces with a plug that attaches directly into the stream and can be carried with it easily, this speaker runs for over 50 hours on 2 AAA batteries. It costs $25.00. The two other products are low cost and easy to use 4 GB screenless M P players. Both are tiny - one clips to your shirt, and the other is molded into a unisex jewelry pendant that can be worn around the neck. The standard player is priced at $30, and the fashion player will be priced at $40.00. Limited quantities will be available for purchase at the meeting. VIBUG will get the first chance see these items before they are marketed extensively during the summer. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
RE: Hooking up laptop
I have a cord running out of the audio jack on the laptop connected to a splitter which connects to the line in plugs on my amp. I take this further by running a stereo chord from the amp's line out to my wireless broadcaster that my buddy who works at Brookstone's gave me. So I get sound from my stereo speakers wired to the amp, on my wireless headphones, and my wireless portable speaker. Other than the fact that my girlfriend dislikes me walking around the house with headphones on, it's great! I don't know the conventional name for the splitter, but any Radio Shack or electronics store will know what you want.

Re: MLLB WEBSITE CHANGE HELP?
The thing worked okay although I don't really fiddle with it much. What I did run into to my great disgust was not being able to get to my radio station of choice. I called their customer service line and vented a bit. It seems they were unprepared for the volume of folks clicking on the Mets v. Reds game on WFAN. The media player would pop up and there would be no place for email address and password. I selected the Spanish network and it did come through and then played the game en Espanol. Then the Reds radio network also came in fine. So I tried WFAN again and nothing! I asked the poor chap on the telephone "How can you not be prepared for Opening Day?!" I told him it was not his fault, but that the upper managers needed a whack on the head for this outrage. I am considering a letter to the Clown Prince of Baseball, Bud Selig.

Re: converting Audible files to other formats
You can burn then rip. I agree that there are legal issues. But it's also so time consuming to burn to cd and then rip to files that I couldn't be bothered. A 280 page book took up around 10 cd's. It takes a while to burn each one and then just as long to rip them. The files are already transferable to any portable device you might want so I just don't see the point. File management is time consuming enough as it is!

Would Winamp notice the difference in my pc and adjust accordingly? Or does the sound improve automatically because of this encoding? Cheers, Peter On 3/20/09, Petro T.

Re: Cassette to digital
There are several devices that will connect your tape player to a usb port. The iMic by Griffin Tech. is great and doesn't mess with your computer's speech. This little device hooks up to your tape deck, but can also be used with turntables, etc. One drag is that they are almost always sold out. You have to go on a waiting list. Mine took 2 weeks. Hope this helps.

Re: Seeking program to create ring tones
Goldwave is great. Keep those files as small as possible. I guess it comes down to how much memory your phone has. I took a number of my favorite tunes that reminded me of certain persons, chopped it down to 15 seconds, then saved them as mp3's. My favorite was some cartoon sound effects that I ran as a repeating loop. Of course one must make sure that all copyright rules are followed. But it is fun to assign a certain sound to each caller that you know, especially being visually impaired.

Re: restricting audio rights to synthesized voices ...
Here is a small piece available everywhere regarding Amazon's response to the whole audio reading capability of their e-book. Things happen fast these days don't they!?! I think we in the blindness & audio community should take advantage of this and make persons in charge of such policy aware of our "situation." How often does our audio needs come up in the public domain? Cheers, Peter Rather than argue with the Authors Guild over the text-to-speech feature of its new Kindle 2 e-book reader, Amazon is modifying the device’s software to make it optional. Authors and publishers will now be able to decide if they want the function enabled or not on titles for which they own the rights. Amazon (AMZN) announced the move in a statement released late Friday afternoon, in which it also said it believes the Kindle’s text-to-speech function to be legal: Kindle 2’s experimental text-to-speech feature is legal: no copy is made, no derivative work is created, and no performance is being given. Furthermore, we ourselves are a major participant in the professionally narrated audiobooks business through our subsidiaries Audible and Brilliance. We believe text-to-speech will introduce new customers to the convenience of listening to books and thereby grow the professionally narrated audiobooks business. Nevertheless, we strongly believe many rightsholders will be more comfortable with the text-to-speech feature if they are in the driver’s seat. Therefore, we are modifying our systems so that rightsholders can decide on a title by title basis whether they want text-to-speech enabled or disabled for any particular title. We have already begun to work on the technical changes required to give authors and publishers that choice. With this new level of control, publishers and authors will be able to decide for themselves whether it is in their commercial interests to leave text-to-speech enabled. We believe many will decide that it is. The move comes on the heels of a meandering New York Times editorial in which Roy Blount Jr., president of the Authors Guild, argued that the Kindle’s roboticized nondramatic book readings are a threat to the audio book market On 2/26/09, Adrian Spratt wrote: > Peter, > > Actually, you're quoting an excerpt from Roy Blount Jr.s' op/ed piece in > yesterday's New York Times.

Can one just plug the netbook into a usb port replicator and then just use regular keyboard; saving the mini-functions for when traveling?

restricting audio rights to synthesized voices ...
Walt Mossberg of the WSJ today sang the praises of the new Amazon Kindle. But he cited the warning that the Authors Guild has publicly released: Kindle 2 can read books aloud. And Kindle 2 is not paying anyone for audio rights. True, you can already get software that will read aloud whatever is on your computer. But Kindle 2 is being sold specifically as a new, improved, multimedia version of books–every title is an e-book and an audio book rolled into one. And whereas e-books have yet to win mainstream enthusiasm, audio books are a billion-dollar market, and growing. Audio rights are not generally packaged with e-book rights. They are more valuable than e-book rights. Income from audio books helps not inconsiderably to keep authors, and publishers, afloat….You may be thinking that no automated read-aloud function can compete with the dulcet resonance of Jim Dale reading ‘Harry Potter’ or of authors, ahem, reading themselves. But the voices of Kindle 2 are quite listenable….And that sort of technology is improving all the time….no part of my voice is competing with my own audio books yet. But people who want to keep on doing creative things for a living must be duly vigilant about any new means of transmitting their work.

There is a little plugin for goldwave that allows one to cut and paste with mp3's. The only reason I know is that I tried to do it once when I didn't have the plugin and this message came on telling me that I couldn't, but offered me the download. So I don't know where I got it, but GW should have it somewhere. Ask their tech support folks. It beats decompressing and recompressing.

Jaws & Goldwave bonks and shutdowns ...
Dear PC Audio List & Goldwave Tech Support: Whenever I run Goldwave on my laptop, I first get this bonking sound (like when you get to the end of a line of text). It continues repeatedly bonking for around 2 or 3 minutes. I then get a Jaws Application error message. I hit enter on the send error message button. It sends the message then repeats the error message. When I select send error message this time, it blows Jaws out and I have to restart the computer. This only happens when I start Goldwave, no other programs are affected at any time. I have the sounds settings in the control panel set to the built in sound card, SigmaTel Audio. The device, play, record settings in Goldwave are set to the same sound card. I am using Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 5101 laptop. Very vanilla. The error message stated: Sz appName jfweve SZ appVer 905192 SZMODName NTCll cll SZ modver 5/2600 5512 offset 120e The Following files will be included in the error report: Docume 1\psmith\locals1\t emp\Wer5320 di 00 exe.mdmp Jfw.exe.mdmp The only red flag to me in that mass of letters and numbers is the jfw.exe.mdmp line. I am cc-ing a very nice fellow with customer service at Goldwave on this email. The folks at Freedom Scientific had little to say other than they have heard of Goldwave and that I should try a listserve called jfw-lite. They said that they had no idea what to do with that error message. I think the problem is a basic one , but I have yet to figure it out. Has anyone encountered this situation? I have tried removing Goldwave and adding a fresh new copy. I also tried using the Jaws default settings and the bonking and error messages continued. I have also tried variations on the Jaws 9.0 ini file entry. All with no luck. Help!

RE: Sirius XM Prepares for Possible Bankruptcy
Interesting clip but it's not as if the satellites will be falling from orbit just yet. Echostar will eventually absorb them. If they are a monopoly, they will try and raise rates, but it's not like there aren't any alternatives are there?

RE: Folding or roll-up keyboard suggestion needed
Nolan, what's the brand for the $14 one? Peter -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Nolan Crabb Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 8:48 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Folding or roll-up keyboard suggestion needed Well, I think my experience will be somewhat untypical, but I bought a roll-up keyboard from Adesso that fell apart after two months. It cost around $28. I purchased another one from a grocery store in town, of all places, that cost $14, and has been functioning perfectly for well over a year. I don't know how to advise you on this, except to tell you not to let others talk you out of owning one. I absolutely love mine, and once I got used to typing on it, I went out and bought one for the home computer as well. You should know that I'm going to be very much in the minority on this; most people either don't like them or have never used them. You just can't beat the portability and light weight, and the keys are nicely spread apart so they're easily used after you get used to the action of the keyboard. The one I paid $14 for has a series of buttons going across the top in addition to the function keys that are programmable. Those, too, can be a nice feature. Adesso is a pretty good company with a decent reputation, so I'm sure the experience I had with that $28 keyboard isn't a normal one. Still, that said, I'm not sure I'd buy that particular brand again.

Hope you can help with the iMic
Hi Donna, Gary, Alex, et al: Y'all have been very kind and patient with me. Thanks ever so much! I don't have individual email addresses so I can't go off-line. Sorry to those who are disinterested. Here's the situation now that I have the iMic: I have a Dell laptop, Windows XP, with a SigmaTel Audio soundcard. I am usually hooked up to a port replicator which also has its own sound card called C-Media Headphone Set. I have Jaws 9.0 as the screen reader and Goldwave as the sound recording program. To start with, I assume that I should disconnect from the port replicator and use my laptop with the SigmaTel Audio default card. So before shutting down, I should go into Control Panel, Sounds, Audio tab, and check the box at the bottom that says use only default devices. I then do a shut down. I attach the line outs from my tape deck into the iMic line in adaptor plug and plug that into the line in plug on the iMic. I flip the switch to line in on the side of the device. I then unplug the USB port replicator. I plug in the iMic USB plug and restart the laptop computer. Will I hear Jaws when it comes on? Do I plug in a set of headphones into the output jack on the iMic? If I don't get any sound, I will have to abort. The one thing that I will need to check is that my sound settings in control panel and Goldwave are on the iMic for the recording device and that the playback settings are on either the iMic for the headphones plugged into the iMic or without headphones on the SigmaTel card. But I can't do this without Jaws. In the old days when my old device was sometimes working, along with doing the checkbox in the control panel sounds audio settings, I would bring up the Jaws 9.0 ini file and insert the following at the last line before the synth2 line: Synth1Port=SigmaTel Audio I don't know if I should do this or not. Some have advised that I do this and some say it is not needed. I hope that you can help. It's been a struggle to get back to eliminating my vast tape and vinyl collection. This is all I am focused on besides my job. It has become a quest of sorts. I wish I had a sighted person along side that can help, but it ain't happening without much pleading. Besides this isn't rocket science, or is it? Smiles! Let me know what you think! You can contact me via any of the contact points below.

RE: iMic
Hi Donna, that is exactly what I want to do as well. My entire cd collection is now in my external hard drive. But the tapes contain loads of tunes from back in the day. Some quite hard to find. Then there's the vinyl! I used a thing called an inport by xitel but it kept knocking jaws out. Your SB device didn't do that? That's a good additional feature, but I will just turn on the external player and hit record on Goldwave. My only worry then will be that the sound levels are okay. I still haven't learned where those controls are in GW. Thanks! Namaste! Peter -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dana S.

RE: Question about listening to audio on a website
My only two thoughts are: 1. Winamp! 2. Have you tried contacting the radio station with the same info you gave us? Prob not much help, but it's all I can think of. Cheers, Peter -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Jim Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 7:27 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: Question about listening to audio on a website Hello there, I have a question, and I'm going to try and explain my problem as best as I can. I'm using a Del laptop with Windows Vista and Jaws 9. I also have an old Toshiba laptop with Windows XP and JAWS 9. That one is not working very well, and I try to use it as little as possible. My de3l computer is doing something very strange. It has Windows Media Player and Real Player, but WM player is the default. I'm able to go to different websites and listen to things using it. There are several radio stations I enjoy that I can listen to using Windows Media Player with no problem. However, when I get to one specific station www.kboo.fm something different happens. When I try to click on the mp3 high link, my computer tells me that Internet Explorer cannot load the web page. Well, that's very strange because every other computer I have (including my office computer) has no problems with it. Even my very sluggish computer can load that particular web page and open it with Windows Media Player. This station is becoming more important to me and I'll be needing to listen to it more and more, but it would be preferable to use my primary computer for this. Now, you might ask yourselves whether or not IE is loading other web pages. Yes it is. No problems there. Also, you may ask if I can pick up other websites with similar stations and listen to them. Indeed I can. There's also a "Listen Live" section and there is an option for high bandwidth for stereo, and that doesn't seem to work either. It's as if IE doesn't want to read that for some reason. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

I am new to the list and I have a question for those of you who use Jaws and Goldwave. I have been successfully recording from external devices, mostly cassette players, into Goldwave via an external device called an "Inport" made by Xitel. Wires run from my tape deck into the small Inport device, which contains its own sound card, then into a USB port on my pc. To avoid having the sound cards clash, I would have to add a new line of text to the Jaws ini file that told Jaws that the synthesizer port was my pc sound card. I then had to check the "use default only" box in the sounds control panel. I would restart the pc, start up Goldwave, start recording on a new file, hit the play button on the external device, and get an mp3 file for my efforts! This was cumbersome, especially having to worry about clashing sound cards. But it worked for 2 years. Well, I recently upgraded from Jaws 7 to Jaws 9. Now every time I go through this procedure, I get a Jaws application error. It knocks Jaws out so that I can't get more details as well. The last thing I hear is "Jaws application error, a message is being sent.," then the sound is gone! Once in a while, I manage to save some recorded sound in Goldwave, but it contains that bonking noise that you hear when you have done something Windows doesn't like. Something is definitely up. I have tried work arounds such as turning off Jaws once I hit the play button on the external device, but to no avail. Things seem to go fine right up until I send sound in from the external device. I have tried every permutation I can think of; making sure the sound cards are either the one in the pc, or the Inport one in Goldwave and the control panel. I am getting to the point of giving up. I wonder if there is a better way of doing this. Surely there must be other folks using Jaws, Goldwave, and recording sounds from external devices. What do you all use? I have tried googling key words to see what others might use, but no luck so far. Rick Harmon, the Blind Geek Zone master, recommended that I contact the PC Audio group.

RE: Recording from external sources
Hi Dean, I tried plugging it in without doing anything else and Jaws quits. I tried not checking the default button in the sounds control panel, Goldwave and Jaws were working, but by the time the tape finished playing, Jaws had quit. Everything points to it being the soundcard in the Inport device. Someone else I know mentioned the imic. Sounds like there's a sound card if it's got a headset too. I am going to research it. Was it easy enough to set up? It cooperated with Jaws?

I am new to the list and I have a question for those of you who use Jaws and Goldwave. I have been successfully recording from external devices, mostly cassette players, into Goldwave via an external device called an "Inport" made by Xitel. Wires run from my tape deck into the small Inport device, which contains its own sound card, then into a USB port on my pc. To avoid having the sound cards clash, I would have to add a new line of text to the Jaws ini file that told Jaws that the synthesizer port was my pc sound card. I then had to check the "use default only" box in the sounds control panel. I would restart the pc, start up Goldwave, start recording on a new file, hit the play button on the external device, and get an mp3 file for my efforts! This was cumbersome, especially having to worry about clashing sound cards. But it worked for 2 years. Well, I recently upgraded from Jaws 7 to Jaws 9. Now every time I go through this procedure, I get a Jaws application error. It knocks Jaws out so that I can't get more details as well. The last thing I hear is "Jaws application error, a message is being sent.," then the sound is gone! Once in a while, I manage to save some recorded sound in Goldwave, but it contains that bonking noise that you hear when you have done something Windows doesn't like. Something is definitely up. I have tried work arounds such as turning off Jaws once I hit the play button on the external device, but to no avail. Things seem to go fine right up until I send sound in from the external device. I have tried every permutation I can think of; making sure the sound cards are either the one in the pc, or the Inport one in Goldwave and the control panel. I am getting to the point of giving up. I wonder if there is a better way of doing this. Surely there must be other folks using Jaws, Goldwave, and recording sounds from external devices. What do you all use? I have tried googling key words to see what others might use, but no luck so far. Rick Harmon, the Blind Geek Zone master, recommended that I contact the PC Audio group.

Thanks James, what devices do you use to accomplish the task? Perhaps things have changed in the two years.

RE: Recording from external sources
Thanks, I'll give it a test. Perhaps things have changed, but when I first set this up, as soon as I plugged the Inport into the USB slot, Jaws quit. That was when I got advice from FS to put in the additional line into the ini file. I also have a port replicator which I disconnect as the Inport folks say you should plug right into the pc and not into any external ports because they might cause snaps, crackles and pops. I'll give it a go.
