Its been a while since I've played with Goldwave as I prefer to use Amadeus Pro on the Mac but it doesn't hurt to have fingers in the Windows piesmile. Anyway to cut a long story short I was given a job where noise reduction in parts was required as part of the audio editing, I can handle this stuff quite easily with Amadeus Pro but as I'd never given the noise reduction function in Goldwave a go before I thought that the ideal opportunity was presenting itself. To be frank I was amazed at the quality of the result I got for a first try and I'm prepared to stand by the claim I'm about to make and that is the Noise reduction functions of Goldwave rival those which are part of more expensive products such as Sound Forge. Furthermore, the sections in the manual describing how the noise reduction system in Goldwave works are incredibly well written without boring anyone to sleep so all one has to do if they want to try the noise reduction function is to read for a minute or so and the have the basic knowledge required to get started. So what's Goldwave worth these days, $59.00 or thereabouts? Damn good value for money and I'd almost be tempted to say its a Giveaway! when one also considers its many built-in powerful functions and the fact that the author has gone out of his way to make this product accessible.

Hello Larry, I have an account on LIVE 365, But when I log in to it, I can't get at any of my presets. I had allot of jazz stations presat so that I could listen to them anytime I got ready to listen to them. Now being a JFW user, I feel that, that has been taken away from us. I haven't tried it on my Mack system yet, but I will do that sometime this evening and report back to the list about my findings. My best regards.

I own a station and have a VIP membership at Live 365. So I am concerned with what I see as accessibility issues arising from the recent roll out of the the new Live 365 website. As a Mac user, I'm wondering if, especially windows users, are noticing something similar to what I'm seeing. Most important, the play button formerly in place to launch individual station streams has been removed, to be replaced by an image which is not spoken by Voiceover. This applies to the specific stream being promoted on any given Live 365 station page. So, for instance,if someone using Voiceover surfs to my page, they can't access my station's stream. Is it the same with a windows screen reader? Further, some of the other links on individual station pages don't seem to work. For one thing, the link to my presets page, though spoken by Voiceover, does not work when the proper keyboard command is executed. I'm not going to promote my station here, as this is not the proper venue for it. But I am concerned that blind listeners may be experiencing problems when trying to listen to a Live 365 stream, such as mine. The website makeover took place in the last couple of days. So, since the new site was introduced, has anybody besides me noticed a problem in accessing individual streams and links while using a screen reader? Thanks for any thoughts.

Re: RECORDING FROM YOU TUBE DOT COM
Only thing I know to suggest is: start whatever program you use; then be real quick on that control key!

Re: recording audio streams from the internet
Hello Kevin and list: I use Total Recorder to record streams from the internet (I'm using Total Recorder 7.1)..but they've upgraded since then. The program costs close to eighteen dollars (if you're want Total Recorder standard)..the pro version is more..but it'll do what you want to do with it. Another program I've heard about (but don't have and haven't used)..is Audacity. HTH!

You will see a combo box that has the different bit rate settings in it. There are 17 of them you can choose from. #5. Scroll up or down to the one you want. #6.

Question About Trial Version Of Gold Wave
Hello again list: Got another one for ya; this time, it's about Gold Wave; my question is basically this: if you have the trial version of Gold Wave, will it let you convert files or change bit rate? Also..does it work as good as switch? For example, does it give you as many bit rates to choose from as Switch? BTW-I did get Switch to do what I needed it to do! It's really not that hard; it was just that my thick head didn't quite understand the instructions correctly! Thanks to all who responded to that post! Tom Kaufman P.S. The alt-A thing does work..so does the F3..but as far as I can determine, none of the buttons (at least with the version of Switch that I have)..will do anything!

Currently, if you go to the WSM archived page; then click on the appropriate thing, you get a player; this player (to me anyhow..and I'm running Jaws 11)..really doesn't give you much of a way to tell which program you're dealing with!

Re: Veronica FM transmitter
I don't know about newer Ccrane units..but in older ones like I have, that range thing can be adjusted! I have a Ccrane that I've had for five or six years now..and I can pretty much listen in any room of this house with no real problem! True: it wasn't that way right out of the box..but there used to be a screw you could turn..and it made a world of difference!

Sound is good and the range is quite good. Also is very easy to set up. At the time I bought it which I think was about four years ago it cost about $330 with the modifications and I think the price has now gone up by about $45 or so. But of course the up side is you get something that works well and isn't junk which most of the low priced units are. The Ccrane unit for example sounds good but has a hard time clearing a single room so in my opinion it is a complete waste of money.

Is there a pot on the transmitter which allows one to match the output from the source to the transmitter? Second, will this unit work in conjunction with a whip antenna, or must it be connected to a roof top antenna? Lastly, are its input connectors RCA or 3.5 mm.? Thanks for feedback.

Also freedom of speech doesn't apply to a moderated mailing list, at least not if you're talking about the US constitution and the Bill of Rights. Freedom of speech is to prevent the government from squashing the free expression of ideas; it doesn't apply to a moderator doing his job on a list people voluntarily join.

I do not intend to insult or be critical of anyone. My only intent is to keep messages posted to this list relevant to audio software, hardware and closely related subjects. The list was started eleven or twelve years ago by Jonathan Mosen specifically for discussing working with audio on a computer. A few years ago I set up a poll asking the membership if they would want the subject matter of the list to be expanded to include consumer audio products, since these products are often used in conjunction with a computer, and a large percentage of those who voted said yes, so, now messages about audio receivers, amplifiers etc. are permitted. There are approximately five hundred subscribers to this list. I think we who post to the list should be considerate of those subscribers who are here because it's an audio related list and not cause an increase of list traffic discussing issues and subjects that are off topic.

Can Windows Copy CDs?

So I have deleted the shortcut that was on my desk top; all I have now of Sonic is the program itself..but it really doesn't lead me to where I need to go to copy a CD!

I think it's based on a percent of the overall length of the file. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dave McElroy WA6BEF Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2010 4:37 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Winamp question Well the simple fact is that AVI does not ppear as a supported file type in 5.72 whereas it does in 5.32.

Re: NLS BOOK QUESTIONS
Well..here in Maryland, from what I'm told, even the folks who work in the state library in Baltimore get the standard version! I attended a demonstration on these machines when some of the folks from the library came to Easton, MD. to put on the demonstration..we all were given a chance to sign up for a player (I chose the advanced model)..this was back in August. After not hearing anything for several months, I called the library; they said they'd get one sent right out..at which point, I said now this will be the advanced one..right? oh no..we don't have any of those! To which I replied, well I am on the list to. (the gal interrupted Oh we don't have those lists anymore; we threw those away! Although they wouldn't come right out and say it, I got the feeling that it was either I take the standard or nothing! So I decided (after thinking about it for a day or two and after emailing someone I know who works there)..that I'd do well to take the standard player..it may be (as I was told).that I could call in about six months or so and..they may have them! So that's my story up until now; the standard player works well..but I still wouldn't mind having an advanced version at some point in time! Maybe it'll happen someday!

Strange Windows Media Thing
Hello List: Have had something strange happen recently..and it's happened twice: there was a station I wanted to hear that uses Windows Media to stream their audio. When I decided I had listened as long as I wanted, I hit my alt-F4 to stop the stream and close out Windows Media. Well now..while Windows Media seemed to go away, the stream did not! I was back on my desk top..and found myself looking around to find how to get to the stream to stop it..but could not! This happened again with a different station that also uses Windows Media to stream their audio; same experience: when I went to close it out, the stream kept on going..although Windows Media was gone! The only way to stop it (as far as I could tell)..is to restart the computer! Can somebody please tell me what is happening here? I'm using Jaws 11, running Windows XP Home with Service pack 3; the sound card is an Audigy 2 (think I'm right on this)..hopefully I have provided enough information to you so you can figure out what is going on here!

Looking For Some Information Concerning NLS Player
Hello List: I realize that this isn't Bard Talk (I'm not on that list)..but I know that some of you use the NLS players..and maybe you can tell me if you've run into this: I apparently forgot to turn my player off last night! This shouldn't be a problem, since it's supposed to shut itself off if not playing a book..right? Apparently not! Last night, I think it still had fifteen hours left. But today when I started to listen to a book, it informed me that it only had an hour! But it didn't even give me that much; I had taken the player out to the porch so I could listen while I took my walk on the treadmill (I had set the sleep timer for thirty minutes)..well..I actually started about ten minutes before I took the machine out there...I had been out on the porch, walking along and listening to my book..when it suddenly said battery low; player off! And with that, it stopped! So my question is: what's with the thirty minutes thing (is it..or is it not..supposed to shut itself off if you stop playing a book..but don't actually turn off the power? If you'd rather write me offlist concerning this matter, my email is tomca...@comcast.net If you choose to write me offlist, please put something in the subject line to indicate that you are replying to my question concerning the NLS digital player!

If this is not happening..no big deal..only users should be aware of what's happening (or not happening)..as it were..again..thanks, John for checking this out!

As has been stated, if you're not listening to a book (and don't turn off the machine's power)..it's supposed to shut off in thirty minutes. I have a friend who ran into this same thing!

Does Gold Wave have a scheduler?

Re: goldwave questions
Hello Rob and list: Yes..that was most helpful in solving this lame Encoder mystery! I searched..and found that there are four occurrences of that Lame encoder..I remember someone saying on this list that, in order to make MP3 files, one _had_ to have the Lame Encoder in order to do this! There was nothing in the programs menu that indicated that I had it; nor did I see anything in Add/Remove programs, so I was somewhat mystified! I know I have recorded and played countless MP3 files..but how could this be if I didn't have the encoder? Guess it's all in knowing what the exact name is..and knowing exactly how to go about looking for it! Also..I thought this was the case concerning Gold Wave (that you couldn't schedule it to record when you weren't going to be around)..I actually did download what is supposed to be a trial version of Gold Wave..but haven't done anything with it yet; I mainly had wanted to get Gold Wave so I would have more flexibility of changing bit and sample rate in files if I needed to (Total Recorder will do this)..but as I understand it, Gold Wave will give you more choices!

John. --- The Bookshelf Upgrade You might want to download several books or magazines to a flash drive and then listen to any of them in some random order. To do this, your player must contain a software upgrade that includes the ability to bookshelf books. Here are the steps needed to upgrade a library digital book player to the latest software: Obtain the latest software from the NLS web site: http://www.loc.gov/nls/DTBM/ . There appear on the web page two links. I suggest you try the first link. If this does not work, return to the page and download the second link. After you click the link from the web site and download the file to your computer, extract (unzip) this file onto a flash drive (thumb drive, etc.) so that the directory upgrade appears in the root directory of the drive. This procedure is exactly the same as you use to download a book. Turn on the player. Insert the flash drive containing the software into the USB port of the player. The player will announce Upgrading your player's software. Wait until the upgrade is complete and the player restarts (about 10 seconds), then remove the flash drive. The upgrade will only occur if the player's version is older than the version of the software on the cartridge; reinserting the cartridge will not repeat the upgrade. You now can erase the files from the flash cartridge that you downloaded to undertake this upgrade and use the flash cartridge to download books and magazines. To employ the bookshelf feature, turn the player on. Press and hold the Play/Stop button until you hear the narrator announce the activation of the bookshelf feature. Continue to hold down the Play/Stop button and press either the FF or the RW arrow-shaped key to either side of the Play/Stop button. As you push and release these keys, the player will announce the next title on the flash drive.

To do this, your player must contain a software upgrade that includes the ability to bookshelf books. Here are the steps needed to upgrade a library digital book player to the latest software: Obtain the latest software from the NLS web site: http://www.loc.gov/nls/DTBM/ . There appear on the web page two links. I suggest you try the first link. If this does not work, return to the page and download the second link. After you click the link from the web site and download the file to your computer, extract (unzip) this file onto a flash drive (thumb drive, etc.) so that the directory upgrade appears in the root directory of the drive. This procedure is exactly the same as you use to download a book. Turn on the player. Insert the flash drive containing the software into the USB port of the player. The player will announce Upgrading your player's software. Wait until the upgrade is complete and the player restarts (about 10 seconds), then remove the flash drive. The upgrade will only occur if the player's version is older than the version of the software on the cartridge; reinserting the cartridge will not repeat the upgrade. You now can erase the files from the flash cartridge that you downloaded to undertake this upgrade and use the flash cartridge to download books and magazines. To employ the bookshelf feature, turn the player on. Press and hold the Play/Stop button until you hear the narrator announce the activation of the bookshelf feature. Continue to hold down the Play/Stop button and press either the FF or the RW arrow-shaped key to either side of the Play/Stop button. As you push and release these keys, the player will announce the next title on the flash drive.

Okay..here's the deal on the drive: one end is rounded (it apparently needs to be square)..in any case, no matter which way I turn that drive, it _will not_ go in! As far as I can tell, there's no cap or anything over it! Do I have some kind fof an odd-balled drive? Tom Kaufman (aka Tomcat) P.S. I ordered my cartridge on line!

There's a USB port on the right hand side of the machine, it's about half way to the back, right behind the headphone jack. When the machine is shipped, it'll be covered with a small plastic cap. The cap just pops off, and the flash drive should plug into that port with no problem. A flash drive can only go in one way, so if you're having trouble with it, you may want to flip it over.

No; you have to get your flash drives (thumb drives..whatever you want to call them)..elsewhere; the American Printing House For The Blind has blank cartridges that you can also use to download books as well!
