RE: Winamp 5.04 accessible?
With the 5.0 version, my jaws couldn't read in the edit bookmarks part, the list of bookmarks. It could without a problem in earlier versions. Does anybody know whether this has been corrected, and also does 5.04 play streaming windows media files out of the box? Thanks. -Original Message- From: Matt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 1:31 AM To: PC audio discussion list. Subject: Re: Winamp 5.04 accessible? Yes, it can be made accessible, but it's pretty tricky. You have to switch in to Classic Winamp in order for everything to work as it did before. To do this, you need to access the preferences dialogue, and arrow down to the skins area of the tree view. In the options panel, you will find that you have a choice between Classic Winamp, and Modern Winamp. It defaults to Modern Winamp. Jaws will also go a bit weird at this point, but don't panic. If it says, List box Winamp Modern 2 of 2, then obviously you just up arrow once to select Classic Winamp. Then rather than trying to figure out where it's thrown your cursor, just exit Winamp completely and re-open it. Your changes should have taken effect, and you should now be able to turn off the various bits of the screen you don't want. You should also be aware that they have now introduced a new component called the Media Library. This can be turned off in a similar way to the mini browser, equalizer and play-list editor. I would like to point out however, that if someone could modify the existing Winamp scripts to take advantage of the new Winamp layout, it would be an incredibly powerful tool for most of us. This is largely because it can now support practically any audio/video playback, burn and rip CD's, and even play DVD movies as far as I can tell. What's more, if we could use the Media library screen, everything is right there ready to use. No messing around with menus and trying to remember a billion hotkeys! Everything ready to go in one place. But there are parts of the screen that do not work out of the box, and I for one, refuse to mouse around using the Jaws Cursor! That's a cop-out, and it isn't a reliable way of accessing software really because you end up hearing every last graphic, symbol and character on every line, and somewhere amongst all that babble is the one tiny thing you're looking for! LOL! One other catch however, is that if you wish to rip tracks from a CD in to MP3 format, you actually have to buy Winamp Pro! What a surprise! I expect there are a number of other features which are not accessible in the basic version, but I believe that Pro is not very expensive. Certainly not as expensive as say, Real Player Pro would be.

RE: juke box type of question
Yeah, ots juke will do this. And I have always used a double talk synthesizer, because I cannot stand having the speech come out of the same speakers as the music I'm listening to. I don't know though if an external double talk is still available or works with xp. -Original Message- From: stever2525 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2004 4:56 AM To: PC audio discussion list. Subject: juke box type of question I just had a brain storm and was wondering if such a program exists. Setting aside, having to have speech go to a separate location, etc, what I want to do is at a party, have people submit requests which I would type in, providing I have the title. How can I compile a play list, already in progress? In other words, songs will already be playing but I would still want to take requests and have them in a sequential order using some kind of program. Ok, enough of my brain storm. Does a program exist like this, using JAWS and XP?

RE: saving radio stations with media plyer
Hi. I don't have xp, but in windows media player 9 you add the currently playing track to the library from the file menu. It's saved under other media in the library tree view. My old jfw version does not read the list view either, I was hoping that would have been corrected with xp and a later version of jfw. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2004 10:10 AM To: PC audio discussion list.

buffering problem?
I have a problem with some shoutcast streams.-- They play for a minute or so, then stop, and restart after another minute. This repeats constantly.-- Reinstalling winamp and increasing the buffering didn't help. -Original Message- From: Kevin Lloyd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 11:10 AM To: PC audio discussion list.

I found this very useful as it will run through a checklist of areas that may affect successful burning. Anyway, the answer for me was to set my CD-rewriter to be DMA enabled. This meant that data could be transferred between the rewriter and hard drive much more efficiently. I've never had a buffer underrun since.

I've got very old equipment cuz I can't afford anything else right now. Apparently it was something called underr un or underburn or something, which meant the buffer to the CD write thingy got empty before more info was grabbed from the hard drive. I don't know how else to explain it at the moment, it's new to me. Anyway, my friend burned the CD's with his own computer and the same kind of CD discs, so they were okay. Thanks David On Thu, 8 Jul 2004, mimi wrote: Oh, no! That means your disc devloped an error in it. If you are using CDR's, which you can only use once, there is nothing you can do to fix that once it's burned. If the problem persists throughout the pack of discs, you have a bad package! You might have to try a different brand of discs. Anyway, Nero should have asked you if you wanted to save the read/write error onto a disc. Anyway, I would say no, because I don't want a defective write or play. I don't know what else to suggest other than try other discs to see if the same thing would happen. But I do know that any time your burn is unsuccessful or incomplete it's a bad disc. You cannot see the defect. Another way to know is when you play it back on your computer's CD drive if the last track will not play at all. I've had that happen a lot lately. Mimi - Original Message - From: David R.

I split thirty five tracks into three folders and tried to make three CD's from these. At 4x speed, only 4 tracks were burned. Then, running my CD burner at 1x speed, the first eleven tracks are burned (and played) great, but each time the twelvth and last track is played, it's okay for a few seconds, then it gets comically crazy, like a space-age merry-go-round. And the CD player stays stuck on that track until I physically stop it or switch to another CD in my player. There was an error message from nero at the end of each burn session, and I saved the burn log from the last session. It's 8 pages long and I have no idea what it means. I can forward a copy to the list if it would help in solving this problem. I'd appreciate any help, thanks in advance!

Michael, Yes, that's what I have, forgot to say so, smile. i've never had much luck with Windows Media Player, guess I need to try testing it with another stream to see if it is working at all. But my question really was whether it is possible to play WMA files through Winamp as the default player or whether to just accept that Media Player will grab them. In any case, as I said, I can play the smaller file just fine as long as I allow it to log onto the website but not the other one which is supposedly just tied to the player, does that make sense?

At any rate, I am having a minor problem which is somewhat irritating. The player works great except that every time I open a real media file or stream with it, it lowers the wave volume level substantially, thus also reducing dramatically the volume level of software speech. Using the player's control to increase the volume does not address this problem. Is there a fix? I looked through the program's options but found none. Thanks for assistance.
