Re: Playing Live Audio Streams

2009-10-30 Thread Tom Kaufman
May be speaking out of turn here..but in some cases you have no choice; if 
you have Real Player (and if the stream you are wanting to play supports 
that (and only that)..I don't know that you have any choice!  I do know of 
something called Real Alternative..but don't know how good that works..or 
if it really does work with things that use Real Player..am sure there are 
others more knowledgeable than I that can shed more light on this subject.

Re: Moving Through Files With Windows Media

and forward in a file, using Windows Media, I, too, would appreciate such 
information!  In Windows Media 10 and below, at least moving forward to be sort 
of done (I've never been able to find a way to move backward)..but with Windows 
Media 11..there seems to be no way to do this as far as I have seen; I am using 
Jaws 10)..so as I said..if someone knows of a way to do this, I'd also be happy

Possible Windows Media Problem?

2005-04-23 Thread Tom Kaufman
Hello list:  I'm trying to determine if I have an issue with my Windows
Media..am running Windows Media 9..and here of late, when I try to listen
to an audio stream, such as the one from WSM in Nashville, it wants to drop
out..then come back; at times, I'll get error message that say something to
the affect of Windows Media cannot play this file; it may be trying to
play behind a firewall (which I don't have); this morning, it said that it
couldn't play it because the server was busy.  I should add, here, that I am
having difficulties with the computer; can't seem to get the resources as
high as I'd like; will soon be getting a new compputer as there seems to be
no way to solve this problem; am currently running an HP Pavillon with an on
board soundcard; running Windows ME and Jaws 3.7U.  This will change soon.
But I need to know iff there's anything I can do to stop the stream from
breaking up in the meantime?  Thanks in advance.

start recording)..then bring up an audio stream, I've got problems!  on the
other hand, if I bring up the audio stream first, then, bring up TR..and
try to start a recording, often times (not always) but it'll cause the
stream to hang up..and I have to do the Alt-control-delete thing!  It's
almost as if my computer somehow doesn't have enough memory to run
everything...but that doesn't quite sound right to me either!  Ideas anyone?

The updated files for your audio card have been placed in their appropriate
place on your hard drive.

In order to enable your new driver, please perform the following steps:

1 - Open device manager by right-clicking on My Computer and
selecting Properties.
2 - Click on the Device Manager tab.
3 - Click the plus sign ('+') to the left of Sound, video and game
controllers
4 - You need to remove each device presented under this Sound, video
and game controllers section. You do this by clicking on one of them
to select it, click on the Remove button and confirm any verification
to remove. If you are prompted to restart your system, click NO.
6 - Once you have removed all devices from the Sound, video and
game controllers section, close this readme file and you will be
prompted
to reboot.
7 - During the reboot process, the updated driver should Plug-and-Play.
In the event you are asked to insert a disc or point the system to the
updated driver, it is stored in the following path:
  C:\Windows\Options\Cabs

need be, I'll just uninstall MSN; haven't really used it that much
lately..although I hate to do that as I do have some friends who are on MSN.
But I want to be able to hear my audio streamming when I want to; this
doesn't appear to be happening with all audio streamming..just a couple;
one of the ones in question is at www.wtnt.com (hope I have that url
correct)..and the other is www.wphb.com  If anyone can help, it would be
much appreciated!

Hello Tim:  First..the one link that I posted was incorrect!  But since I

Thanks to all who have provided information concerning the CCrane FM
transmitter!  Now all I need to do is to get someone here who can take care
of this as I ddon't quite have nerve enough to tackle it myself!  Even as it
is, the range isn't too bad!  However..I do find, for example, that if I
tune my clock radio (which is one of those Sony Dream Machines) it won't
pick up the signal from the transmitter good enough for it to be in stereo.
I feel fairly certain that, based on the information that I've heard, that
turning that screw will solve that problem!

Might be of interest to some of us out there!  Subject: FTP Internet and
Technology News New CD copy-lock technology nears market


New CD copy-lock technology nears market
Published: December 16, 2004, 4:00 AM PST
By
John Borland
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
A new kind of copy-protected music CD will likely hit U.S. shelves early
next year,
as record label SonyBMG experiments with a technology created by British
developer
First 4 Internet, according to sources familiar with the companies.
Several major music labels have already used a version of the British
company's technology
on prerelease compact discs distributed for review and other early-listening
purposes,
including on recent albums from Eminem and U2.
The releases for the retail market, expected early in 2005, will be the
first time
the Sony music label issues copy-protected CDs in the U.S. market, although
the company's
other divisions have done so in other regions. BMG, Sony's new corporate
sibling,
has been more aggressive, with a handful of protected CDs released last
year.
We have always focused on a high level of protection, but we've waited
until there
aren't any playability issues.
--Mathew Gilliat-Smith,
CEO, First 4 Internet
A SonyBMG representative declined to comment on the plans. First 4 Internet
Chief
Executive Officer Mathew Gilliat-Smith confirmed that
his company
 plans to release a consumer version of its technology with one major label
in the
United States, but he declined to identify the label.
Gilliat-Smith said his company has been waiting to improve its technology.
Better-known
companies Macrovision and Sunncomm have seen sporadic--and sometimes
controversial--use
of their products on CDs released around the world.
We're not keen to rush, Gilliat-Smith said. We have always focused on a
high level
of protection, but we've waited until there aren't any playability issues.
The new SonyBMG experiments are a further sign that copy protection on music
CDs
may be moving closer to the mainstream U.S. market. The practice is much
more common
in European and Asian markets.
For several years, the major record labels have sought a way to protect CDs
against
unrestricted copying and ripping, or transforming songs into files such as
MP3s
that can be swapped widely online. Early experiments proved unpopular,
prompting
reports that the discs could not play in certain kind of stereos, or might
even
damage computers
.
The past year has seen resurgent signs of interest from the major labels,
however.
A watershed moment in the United States came when the BMG-released Velvet
Revolver
album
reached the top of the industry's sales charts
, despite being clearly marked as copy-protected. Industry insiders said
that helped
assuage some boardroom concerns about potential consumer backlash.
Questions remain about the appropriate technology to use, however. The copy
protection
from Sunncomm, used by BMG in the United States, could be fairly easily
disabled
simply by
pressing a computer's Shift key
 while the CD was loading, for example. That issue has been fixed in the
company's
most recent
version of its products.
It also may be a tricky job to make rules associated with copy-protected
discs match
those associated with songs purchased from online stores such as Napster or
Apple
Computer's iTunes. Those stores allow their customers to burn CDs that can
then be
copied without restriction; by contrast some labels want to limit the number
of times
a copied CD can be duplicated again--a technology called 
secure burning
.
First 4 Internet's entry into the market marks a potentially new twist on
the basic
technology, however. The company got its start by offering a tool to
identify pornographic
images in Web sites and e-mails, and selling the technology to Web-filtering
companies
for their own products.
The company has been working on the disc-protection technology since 2001,
following
conversations with the EMI record label, Gilliat-Smith said. The technology
wraps
ordinary song files in strong encryption, but in a way that still allows
regular
CD players to read them. Another part of the disc contains data files that
help improve
protection.
The company has worked particularly closely on prereleases in the U.S.
market with
Universal Music. First 4 Internet's U.S. representative said the
copy-protection
technology has been included on a number of extremely high-profile CDs while
in the
review and demo stage, without being broken.
Could it be broken? I'm sure that somebody must be able to do it, said
Graham Oakes,
the head of Los Angeles-based Ezee Studios, which represents First 4
Internet. But
is there a generally known hack that has been put on the Net, or have any of
the
record label IT people found a hack yet? No.
Analysts remain skeptical that labels will ultimately launch copy-protected
discs
on a widespread level in the United States, citing continued consumer
opposition
and the delicate technological balancing act between strong protection and

Subject: FTP Internet and Technology News Record Industry Sues 754 for
Internet Song Swaps


Record Industry Sues 754 for Internet Song Swaps
Thu Dec 16, 2004 04:04 PM ET
By Andy Sullivan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A recording industry trade group said Thursday that
it has
filed another wave of lawsuits against 754 people it suspects of
distributing songs
over the Internet without permission.
The Recording Industry Association of America has now sued more than 7,000
people
for distributing its songs over peer to peer networks like eDonkey and
Kazaa, in
an effort to discourage the online song copying that it believes has cut
into CD
sales.
The RIAA typically settles copyright infringement suits for around $5,000
each.
Despite more than a year of headline-grabbing lawsuits, peer-to-peer use has
not
declined. An average of 7.5 million users were logged on to peer-to-peer
networks
in November 2004, up from 4.4 million in November 2003, according to the
research
firm BigChampagne.
The four major labels -- Vivendi Universal, Sony BMG Music Entertainment,
EMI Group
Plc and privately held Warner Music -- have recently begun to license their
songs
to a new generation of online services as a way to slash distribution costs
and reach
out to fans.
But recording-industry officials remain at loggerheads with software makers
like
Grokster and Morpheus that allow users to freely copy their songs.
With legal online retailers still forced to compete against illegal free
networks,
the playing field remains decidedly unbalanced, said RIAA president Cary
Sherman
in a statement.
Courts so far have declined to declare peer-to-peer software makers like
Grokster
and Morpheus illegal because, like a photocopier, they do not permit
copyright infringement
but merely make it possible.
The Supreme Court will hear the entertainment's case against Grokster and
Morpheus
in March.
The latest round of lawsuits included students at Columbia University, the
University
of Pennsylvania, Old Dominion University and Virginia Commonwealth
University.
Under pressure form the RIAA, many schools have taken steps to limit file
sharing
and at least 20 schools give students free access to industry-sanctioned
download
services like Roxio Inc.'s Napster.
The RIAA does not yet know the names of those it has sued, only the
numerical addresses
used by their computers. The trade group typically finds out suspects'
identities
from their Internet service providers during the legal proceedings.

MPAA targets core BitTorrent, eDonkey users
Published: December 14, 2004, 12:01 PM PST
By
John Borland
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
The Motion Picture Association of America launched a new legal campaign
Tuesday targeting
the BitTorrent and eDonkey file-swapping networks, two technologies widely
used to
trade movies online.
Ratcheting up its
previous online antipiracy efforts
, the Hollywood group is working with law enforcement agencies in the United
States
and Europe to target and arrest individuals who play a critical role in the
functioning
of each type of network.
Criminal actions have already been filed in Europe, including the seizure of
seven
Net-connected servers, with their operator still wanted by French police, a
representative
of the French government said.
 The legal actions mark a strong new attack on peer-to-peer networks, which
have
continued to thrive over the past several years despite lawsuits against
software
developers and individuals.
These people are parasites, leeching off the creative activity of others,
said
John Malcolm, the MPAA's director of worldwide antipiracy operations. They
serve
as traffic cops connecting those who want to steal movies with those who
have a copy
and want to provide it.
The cross-border legal actions mark a strong new attack on peer-to-peer
networks,
which have continued to thrive over the past several years despite lawsuits
against
software developers and nearly 7,000 individuals accused of trading
copyrighted music
online.
BitTorrent and eDonkey each have grown rapidly over the past two years,
threatening
to become to the movie industry what Napster initially was to the record
labels.
Each technology is designed specifically to speed downloads of very large
files,
and has been used widely to distribute full-length movies, computer games
and software.
BitTorrent in particular has become a recent concern for Hollywood companies
desperate
to stop video piracy before it cuts into their soaring DVD sales revenues.
The threat
of potential criminal penalties substantially raises the stakes for those
helping
to distribute a film using the technology, in what the studios hope will be
a more
effective deterrence than previous actions.
According to Net monitoring firm BayTSP, eDonkey recently passed up Kazaa as
the
most popular file-swapping network in the world, measured by number of
users. Other
network monitors have said that BitTorrent has long been the most popular
measured
by the amount of data transferred between users.
Who's being sued?
Understanding exactly who has been targeted in the latest peer-to-peer
dragnet requires
a little understanding of how each network works, however.
In the early days of Napster, a central server operated by that company kept
a huge
index of all content available on the network and where it was located,
matching
downloaders with people who had a particular piece of content. The recording
industry
was able to successfully sue Napster after judges said that a centrally
operated
index made the company legally responsible for piracy on the network.
Record labels and movie studios then sued a second generation of
file-swapping companies,
which offered decentralized services in which the
traffic-directing role was played by individual users' computers, rather
than a central
server. Judges said those companies are not legally responsible for their
users'
actions, and the entertainment companies have appealed that decision all the
way
to the Supreme Court.
eDonkey has been a hybrid of those two types of systems. In its early days,
individual
users maintained Napster-like central servers that managed traffic on the
network.
Many people still use that older version of the technology; it is the
operators of
those servers that the MPAA is now targeting.
However, the creators of the eDonkey software said most searches are now
done using
the newer, wholly decentralized software.
eDonkey doesn't rely on central servers anymore, so taking them offline
won't effect
the network adversely, said eDonkey creator Jed McCaleb. The servers are
only used
to connect with old and third-party clients.
The BitTorrent difference
BitTorrent works completely differently. In that system, individuals who
want to
share a file prep it for distribution, creating a torrent file that
uniquely identifies
the content and tells computers how to get it. That resulting how-to file
can be
spread around the Net, posted on Web sites, or spread through chat networks
like
the Internet Relay Chat.
Included in this torrent file is information about how to get to a tracker
server,
which actually facilitates all the uploads and downloads associated with a
single
particular piece

Re: Recording in stereo

2004-12-15 Thread Tom Kaufman
Hi Larry:  Thanks for the thought.  But what I'm attempting to do is to
record to the hard drive.  Let's say that I'm trying to record from
WSM..which streams their audio; there's this program that comes on early
Saturday mornings and..because I'm not up that early, I miss it.  So I want
to record it to play back later..or possibly even make CDs from parts of it.
So no..it's not as if I'm trying to record from another source..or anything
like that..at least for now.  But again..thanks for the response.

Re: Recording in stereo

2004-12-14 Thread Tom Kaufman
Can't prove it by me!  Actually..what I have is Total Recorder
standard..but it's still supposed to record in stereo if I tell it to!
apparently..noone here can tell me what I need to do to make it record in
stereo; as far as I can tell, everything is set as it's supposed to be.  So
is it an issue with my soundcard?  I have a Crystall DWM; probably my
luck..I've got something that is incapable of recording stereo stuff..no
matter which program I use to record!  Of course..there is that possibility
that we're just overlooking something.  Then..there's also the issue with my
volume; it records extremely hot!!and I have the recording level down to
either 10 or 15 percent!  Any ideas?

Marty:  As near as I can tell, the stereo radio button is already checked!
I actually sent a file to a friend of mine who checked it out; he told me
that..according to what the information he was getting..I do have it set to
stereo.  However..that's not how it's coming through!  So either I'm
missing something here; possibly my soundcard will not allow me to record in
stereo..but that doesn't make sense either; I can receive things that are in
stereo in stereo!  I don't know!

Yeah..and for some people..it works good.  For others like me..um..still
working on it; I at least have gotten it to manually record.  In fact..am

Hello Jerry:  I finally did get Total Recorder to record the right thing.
However..I haven't figured out why it won't record in stereo as yet; as far
as we can tell, everything is set properly.  But..no stereo!  Am kind of
expecting that..when I try to schedule a recording..it'll probably mess me

Still Trying To Record In Stereo..Using Total Recorder

Hello again list:  Still haven't heard feedback on how to make Total
Recorder record in stereo!  As far as we can tell, all the right things are
checked!  Is it a possibbility that my soundcard is incapable of
performing this task?  I'm using a Crystall DWM (think that's right)
soundcard..if that's of any help to you.  If any of you out there can tell
me what I need to do to make a stereo recording, using Total Recorder..I'd
sure appreciate it.  Thanks much ahead of time.

Update To Need Help With Recording From Soundcard

2004-12-10 Thread Tom Kaufman
  Okay folks:  Here's the latest; I got the thing to record!  Not exactly
sure of how to explain it; essentially what I did was to go (in Total
Recorder to Recording Parammeters, I hit enter on Stereo Mix..and that
seemed to do it.  But now I have another problem; although it seems to be
showing me that I'm set to record in stereo, it's recording in Mono!  How
do I make it record in sterreo?  Sorry to be somewhat of a pain..but I'm
really hoping to be able to use this computer to be able to record from live
streams..and haven't had much success so far!

finding inputs on my computer; I think I understand now; if I want to hook
up one of those little transmitters, I need tto run it through where my
speakers are hooked up now..right?  So I guess my next question would
be..how do I locate where my speakers are hooked in?  I seem to recall
hearing that..it's not a good idea to go unhooking things..with the computer
turned on!  I do find a group of three wires; think one is for the mic,
another for the monitor..and another for the speakers..but which one is
which?  And while I'm at it..where would my line-in jack be?  Thanks again
for everyone's patience!  This list is a good place to be..if anyone needs

Locating Inputs On My computer's Soundcard

2004-11-30 Thread Tom Kaufman
Hello list:  Hope that maybe someone can help me with this one..and that
it's not off-topic.  What I'm trying to do is to locate where I can plug
things into my computer's soundcard.  For instance, I have a little device
called a Soundfeeder..it works on the same principal as the transmitterrs
that C-crane sells..only they're probably not as good)..I figured I'd drag
that ole thing out..and see if I could get it to work; I'm hoping to be able
to do things like listen to XM online..or anything musical that comes from
my computer..in other parts of the house by transmitting it to anoter radio
or something.  Problem is..I don't seem to be able to find where I'd plug in
such a device!  I have an HP machine; don't know the exact model.  But I was
told that it has what's known as an intergraded soundcard.  Does anybody on
this fine list have an idea of what I'm speaking of?  Thanks for your
time..and for any help you can provide.
