Re: What would be the stream address for TapinRadio?
Hello, If you go to: http://radio-locator.com/info/KHID-FM You'll see, along with other information about the station, an audio feed. Right-click on the URL, copy it to the clipboard, then paste it into Tapin. Unfortunately it looks like you'll have to do this each time you want to listen, as they use a form of stream authentication.

If you have an old version, it is usable but definitely not accessible.

Exact Audio Copy also supports AccurateRip, and is accessible and free. I'm a big fan of the dBpoweramp Music Converter, but if you're looking for a fully-featured CD ripper, you don't need to spend any money on it. Exact Audio Copy's only downside is that configuring it for the most accurate rips can be a little bit confusing because it has so many options, but there are guides out there on the Internet which can walk you through it. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes

You can follow my instructions to add whichever hotkeys you would like; take a look through the tree view of assignable actions to learn what is possible.

Yes it is. If you're running an installed copy of foobar2000, you will find a file called Core.cfg in %appdata%\foobar2000\configuration (paste this into the Run dialog to open the folder). If you copy this file into the same location on another computer, all your foobar2000 settings, including keyboard shortcuts, will take effect on that computer. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes
Re: Foobar?
Casey wrote: > Hi can someone please post how to make hot key or short cut keys for > foobar. Open the Preferences dialog with Control+P. Press K to get to Keyboard Shortcuts in the tree view. You'll then see the following controls: - A list of defined hotkeys and their actions; - Add/Remove buttons; - a tree view of actions you can assign hotkeys to divided into categories plus an edit field to filter these actions; - a hotkey field where you press the keys you want to be assigned; and - a Global hotkey check box which controls whether the hotkey should take effect when outside the foobar2000 window. To add a new hotkey, for example X to play as in Winamp: 1. Activate the Add new button. 2. Shift+Tab back to the list of defined hotkeys and you should be focussed on the new entry you've just added. Depending on which screen reader you're using, you should hear something like: "; Global: no; Type: ; Action: " Every time you press the Add new button, the newly added unassigned entry is focussed automatically in the list so you don't need to repeat this step for every ke you add once you've got to grips with the layout of the Keyboard Shortcuts screen. 3. Tab past the Add/Remove buttons and the filter box and in the tree view of assignable actions, navigate to: [main] > Playback. Alternatively you can type "playback" in the filter box and then select Play. 4. Tab once to the hotkey field — this field isn't correctly labelled so you will actually hear a description of the chosen action, in this case the description will be: "Starts playback". 5. Press the letter X. 6. Activate the OK button to close Preferences or the Apply button if you want to add more hotkeys. 7. When you've added all the hotkeys you want, add something to your playlist and try them out. Hint: there are a lot of actions by default, and any plug-ins you install can also add actions to foobar2000. This allows you to create a very powerful keyboard layout. For example, unlike in Winamp, you can add different hotkeys to jump back and forward by different lengths of time. One other thing to keep in mind: Unlike Winamp, foobar2000 actually has a pretty standard, accessible user interface, and you will need to use the arrow keys to navigate your playlists, the media library if you choose to use it, etc. Thus, it's best not to assign any actions to these.

Accessibility of Spotiamp (new Winamp-style Spotify client for Windows)
Just in time for Winamp's untimely demise, Spotify has announced Spotiamp, a Spotify client for Windows built by one of its engineers. It's "a small tribute to honour the great legacy of Winamp," the company says, and lets you play your music within the comfort of everybody's favorite jukebox app. - Source: The Verge <http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/22/5235456/spotify-debuts-spotiamp-app-winamp-streaming> Spotiamp Accessibility Screen reader: NVDA (Next branch) I extracted spotiamp.exe from the portable archive and ran it. When you first launch the app, the login dialog appears. This is completely accessible with labels for the two text fields (not that you'd need them). Your username and password (the latter encrypted) are stored in your config file (spotiamp.ini); you are not given an option to change this. Once you've successfully logged in, the Spotiamp main window is brought into focus. Screen and object view, as well as the NVDA OCR add-on, fail to get anything useful from this screen. According to the Spotiamp website, there is also a button in the main window to access your own Spotify playlists. I haven't found a way to accessibly activate this yet. There is a Winamp-style main menu, even if it is sloppily implemented. To access it with NVDA, use object navigation to find the System menu and right-click it. This contains the program's limited list of settings and reveals some hotkeys. From this menu and my own observations, here are the useful hotkeys that work in the program: Ctrl+L - Switch Account Ctrl+S - Search Z/X/C/V/Space/Arrow keys - Same functions as in Winamp Ctrl+P - Seems to hide (not toggle) the playlist view that opens when you perform a search Ctrl+V - Paste album/playlist/track URIs into the main window for playback The search dialog is accessible. It has tab auto-completion and thus you can't navigate to the Search (default) and Cancel buttons. These have hotkeys, however. The text which is filled in by auto-completion is read when Tab is pressed. Pasting Spotify track, album or artist URIs into this dialog results in a blank playlist*. *Update: You can paste URIs directly into the main window simply by pressing Ctrl+V. Pasting a track, album or playlist URI will play the content straight away, while artist URIs don't trigger any apparent change. The playlist view, as you would expect, displays the list of search results. Object navigation is again useless here. Screen review sees a list of partial track names and durations, but routing the mouse to one and left/right clicking does nothing. To start playback after performing a search, press Enter. It's probably best to close the playlist view with Ctrl+P after doing this. Some notes: If you perform a new search while a track is playing, but don't press enter in the playlist view, the results from that new search will be queued anyway and your current playlist replaced. Some hotkeys, as well as Alt+F4, do not work in the playlist view. First letter navigation doesn't work in the playlist view either.

DVD Audio Extractor is, in my experience, great software and definitely worth the money. It's accessible, does exactly what it says on the tin and does it well. If you were looking to save some money, I'm sure you could put something together using freeware like FFmpeg or other less user-friendly tools, but DVD Audio Extractor ties it all together in a convenient, easy-to-use package. As for alternative, similar applications, I honestly haven't tried any, but nor have I felt the need to so make of that what you will. The only feature I wish DVD Audio Extractor had was the ability to name and tag individual titles, which would come in useful when ripping box sets, but it's no great hardship using something like Mp3tag to get the job done afterwards. There is a fully-functional 30-day trial of DVD AE available, so give it a spin and see what you think. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Re: Help needed with last.fm
You misunderstood what I was saying. My point was that as a streaming service primarily, Spotify has a much larger library of streamable tracks than Last.fm. Last.fm has quite a vast selection, yes, but I was making a distinction between streamable and non-streamable tracks. Last.fm is, in my opinion, better than Pandora at recommending new music and helping me discover it on my own through manual browsing because of the huge amount of user-contributed content that is added, through scrobbling and wiki submissions, everyday. So you can be recommended artists and tracks even if Last.fm don't have them available to stream. That is an advantage it has over Pandora. I can't really compare Pandora and Last.fm's library of streamable music, as not living in the US I don't use Pandora that often. When I did try it, I found that a lot of the music it was recommending were artists popular in the North American market, and not a lot of it was to my tastes. But as a user of both Spotify and Last.fm, I can say with certainty that Spotify's catalogue is much more extensive, which is useful when Last.fm don't have tracks to stream. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: Help needed with last.fm
Brett Boyer wrote: > Ok cool. So can you give me aquick breakdown on the difference between the > two? No problem. Spotify is purely designed and marketed as a music streaming and playback service. Not only can you play tracks, albums or discographies from their vast online library, but you can also add your own local music collection and use it as your media player. It has features such as playlist management, the ability to queue tracks, a crossfader, etcetera, as well as the ability to scrobble to Last.fm. In contrast, Last.fm is, at its core, a music recommendation and statistics service and social network for music lovers. As I wrote about in my last message, you can't choose to play a full album or specific tracks on-demand as you can with Spotify. Last.fm's library of streamable tracks is also much smaller, however it's database of artists, albums, songs, genres, tags and music events is huge and that's why it works so well. Unlike Pandora, everything is user-contributed, so the more songs get scrobbled and the more users use the service, to more data they have to work with.

Re: Help needed with last.fm
There seems to be some confusion here about Last.fm features and which ones can and cannot be used with Winamp, so let me try and clear it up. Scrobbling: Scrobbling is the act of submitting the tracks you play in Winamp or the media player of your choice to Last.fm so that they show up on your profile. This data is used at the very core of Last.fm, it's what makes the service work. Submitting the songs you play on your computers or other devices is what allows the site to recommend you new artists, albums and tracks. It also provides you with quite a nice platform with which to track your listening habbits. You can scrobble with the official Last.fm Scrobbler, which last time I checked was not accessible, or by using a plug-in for your media player of choice; there is one for Winamp, foobar2000, etcetera, and you can also scrobble from within Spotify if that's your thing. Last.fm Radio: This is the portion of the Last.fm service which allows you to stream tracks from their online library. You cannot, I repeat not, stream individual tracks or albums on-demand as you can with Spotify. The radio service is designed to play either a selection of music that you like, music that Last.fm thinks you'll like, or music that your friends and people with similar tastes to you like. Without using a piece of 3rd party software as a proxy, you cannot play these radio stations in Winamp, however the playback controls on the website are accessible and the music you play in the Flash player will be scrobbled to your profile. Hope that helps, and I'll chime in again if there's anything else people don't understand about the service. I've been a long-time user of both Last.fm and Spotify, so am quite well-aquainted with them. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Re: Spotify versus Last FM
I am getting sick and tired of people comparing these two services. At its core, Last.fm is a recommendations engine. It takes note of what you listen to and then suggests other artists, albums or tracks that you might enjoy. In that respect, it is similar to Pandora. It is not at all similar to Spotify, which is a music streaming service first and formost. Yes, you might be able to listen to music through Last.fm, but can you listen to a band's entire discography? Can you create a playlist of your favourite country artists or tracks? No, because that is not what it is designed to do, a point driven home by the fact that Last.fm streams are only in 128Kbps MP3.

It's a music streaming service, and it has been available in the UK for 2 years or so. It is a piece of software that you can download and use to listen to music on.

The free service only allows you to liven to the same track 5 times, and I believe only allows you to be on there a certain amount of time per month. There are two subscription services, the only difference between the two is that with premium you can listen to an unlimited number of tracks and make offline playlists, whereas with limited you can only stream tracks. I have been using it for some time and it is accessible to a degree. If you want to search for a song, you have to go into the edit box and type in what you want.

Re: new site
Of course it's an active site. Spotify has been around for a couple of years now, but of course, it hits the US and everybody thinks it's brand new... LOL. For your reference, the Windows, OS X and Symbian clients aren't that accessible, although they're usable. The version for iOS is accessible with VoiceOver and I use it a hell of a lot when out and about. In his original message, Gery inadvertently placed a space before the TLD in the website address (between "spotify" and ".com"). In future, consider typing the address yourself or checking links for errors before claiming that websites are inactive.

Re: Finding an actual DVD with audiodescription
When I said that there were no exceptions to the rule, I was referring to the DVD's this method of enabling audio description will work with, rather than the DVD players which have such a feature. Although, saying that, every single DVD player I've used has had this button, or similar, on the remote control, even the tiny DVD player I once used when traveling. Perhaps you're correct that television/DVD player combos don't have such a method of easily switching audio languages on the fly. Previously, Brett Boyer said: I don't believe this is a standard button on remote controls.

Re: converting a file
I'm not sure what codecs/codec versions Mediacoder actually uses (not sure if they publish the information on their website), but the Audacity developers make no secret of the codecs/versions that are used by their software. Plus I trust the integrity of FFmpeg to decode files properly. I'm not a fan of Switch for the same reasons; you have no control over the encoder used, settings, etc. For batch conversion, I actually use dBpoweramp Converter, which has a whole host of codecs available for it, but to my knowledge, video files are not supported so Audacity comes in useful. Previously, Alexandra Grünauer said: I completely agree with you! Do you know if Audacity uses the better codecs? It just seems more complicated to install those plugins and to handle them, if you, say, just wanted one file converted.

Re: Help with mp3tag
Hi Don, To achieve the results you require, follow these steps: 1. Open MP3Tag. 2. Open the File > Export... dialog (control-E). 3. Tab to the New button and activate it. 4. Type a name for your new export configuration and click OK. 5. The new configuration file should open in your default text editor. Select all of the contents and delete them. 6. Copy the two lines below and paste them into the file: $filename(txt,utf-8)$loop(%_path%)$num(%track%,2), %title%, %artisst%, %composer% $loopend() 8. As you can see, the fields will be comma-delimited with one track per line when you export your track list. Make any required changes to the layout of the file or the list of fields and save and close it. 9. In the Export dialog, set the filename and click the OK button to export using your new configuration (it should be automatically focused in the list of available configurations). Hope that helps. Previously, Donald L. Roberts said: I downloaded a program called Mp3tag which I wanted to use to Export the I D 3 tags on some mp3 files to a text file. It exports to .csv files which are essentially text files, so this is not a problem. However, there are facilities in this program which permit the user to determine which tag fields are exported and the specific order in which they appear. I can't figure out just how to configure these options. All I wish to export are the track number, the track title, the artist, and the composer, in that order. I therefore would like to make contact with anyone familiar with the Mp3tag program to give me some pointers. Also, if someone has a suggestion for a different program which can accomplish the same thing which will work on either Windows 7 64-bit or XP, , please let me know. Thanks in advance for feedback.

Re: FYI foobar and winamp blog
Open your WinAmp bookmarks (in WinAmp, naturally) and save them as either an M3U or PLS playlist. Then simply load the playlist into Foobar. Previously, Casey said: Hi okay okay what about if you have book marks from winamp? Can you take that winamp books folder and put it in foo bar to use them to place your internet streaming radio stations to play in foo bar and how do you get at them just so you can play with t? Casey On 4/19/2011 8:08 PM, David Truong wrote: Hi, Let me say that I was a heavy user in Winamp and looked at Foobar ages ago and wasn't impressed with it. However, I must admit after reading the recent messages on Foobar, I have taken another look and well, I have ditched Winamp for good. That's how much I am impressed with Foobar. In my opinion the sound quality is so much better. Everything is configurable and accessible. The fact you can make up your own status line makes it worthwhile alone as it is a cinch to script for such things as reading the elapsed time and time remaining of tracks with just a press of hotkeys etc. Nearly every thing Foobar can do you can create a shortcut key to it and make them global if you want to. In the foobar version I looked at ages ago, making your own shortcut keys was not accessible but that has changed and is fully accessible. There is so much more to this program than I have outlined here. Oh I have to also mentioned that it is dam responsive which was something that Winamp wasn't at times. The only thing I wish Foobar had is a plug-in to provide time marking features. Perhaps that can be scripted in time or I might find that plug-in in the future. But yeah, I don't know what gives with Foobar and Window Eyes though. There is a problem reading the list of tracks in the play list. NVDA and Jaws don't have this problem. David Truong.

Re: FYI foobar and winamp blog
Hi Barry, First, I'll start with the ones that are definite yes's: 3. The ability to tell the player to stop playing at the end of the current track or a selected track further along in the playlist. 4. The ability to play the last ten seconds or so of a track without needing to specify the time. (plug-in needed - http://skipyrich.com/wiki/Foobar2000:Preview) 5. The ability to jump to a specified time in a track. (plug-in needed - http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_seek_box) 6. The ability to move forward and back by 5 second increments in a track by the use of arrow keys or similar. 7. The ability to read the sample rate, bit rate and number of tracks of a file. 8. The ability to modify ID3 tags. 9. The ability to cross fade tracks (I know this can be done with Foobar). 10. The ability to equalise the output volume of files. Now, for the ones which I'm not too sure about: 1. The ability to search for a file in a playlist and move it to immediately after the currently playing track. (there is a playlist search function that works well, however I'm not sure how easy it is to queue search results after the currently playing track) 2. The ability to locate a file with Windows Explorer and insert it into the playlist immediately after the currently playing track. This can be done with Winamp although how to do it is not immediately obvious. (queuing songs from Windows Explorer is definitely possible, however once again I'm not sure about having songs queued in a certain order. Perhaps you could try the same method you use with Winamp with Foobar if it is a universal Windows Explorer trick?) Previously, Barry Chapman said: I have been a long time Winamp user, but have been reading the recent discussion on Foobar2000 with interest. I would consider changing to Foobar if it can do all of the following, which are possible with Winamp. The inability to do them would be a show stopper for me. 1. The ability to search for a file in a playlist and move it to immediately after the currently playing track. 2. The ability to locate a file with Windows Explorer and insert it into the playlist immediately after the currently playing track.

The ability to modify ID3 tags. 9. The ability to cross fade tracks (I know this can be done with Foobar). 10. The ability to equalise the output volume of files. That will do for starters. Can anyone say if it is possible to do the above with Foobar.

Re: Reaper Multi Track recording software
I just clicked the link here and it works fine, but if you go to http://www.cucat.org/class_notes/Thursday%20chats/2011/ the Reaper tutorial/introduction is the last one on that page and is called "20110408 Intro To Reaper.mp3". In regards to your query about documentation, a lot of the Reaper manual is useless for blind beginners as ReaAccess (the plug-in I mentioned earlier) changes many of the hotkeys and when using a screen reader many of the procedures to accomplish the basics are slightly different. That audio file should hopefully get you up and running, however if it does not, the ReaAccess website (http://www.reaaccess.com) features details on how you can join a mailing list specifically to talk about the use of Reaper with screen readers. I'm sure people will be happy to help you on there. Previously, Mac Norins said: That link did not work either, which leads me to believe that something may be wrong with the settings, in my I.E.! Can I find this anywhere else? Also, does the Reaper site have tutorial information? I am running an old XP Home computer that is slowly dying, so that may be my problem; getting a Windows 7 shortly!

Re: How to find an audiodescribed version of a dvd using a PC?
How you find and select the audio description track fully depends on the software you're using and how you want to watch it. For instance, if you wish to rip the AD track into a standard audio format and store it on your computer, you might use DVD Audio Extractor, in which case you would choose "English for Visually Impaired" as the language before ripping. If you just want to watch the film straight from the DVD itself on a computer, you'll need software to play it. Windows Media Player and PowerDVD spring to mind, however the number of software applications available to play DVD's is so vast that you would need to choose one that you liked, and then someone could help with language selection to enable audio description. Chances are that this process would be accessible, but as I say there are too many different applications to give clear instructions on just one. If you want to watch the film with AD on your DVD player, some people will tell you to select the appropriate option in the DVD's inaccessible menu system. However, all you have to do is simply start playing the film (usually the very top option on a dVD's menu) and press the "audio" or "audio language" button on your DVD player's remote control until you hear audio description.

Re: Downloading mp3 files, changing to wave files for a standardaudio cd.
Brett is correct. Audio CD's do not store WAV files. When you burn audio files, whether MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG or any other format to an audio CD, they are written to the CD, and CDA files are also written as place holders so that CD players, computers and other devices know where to find the tracks. That's why you must go through the process of ripping a CD to store the tracks in audio files; it's not enough to simply copy the CDA files onto your hard drive. This analogy also works in reverse; writing a bunch of WAV files to a CD doesn't make it an audio CD, nor does it make it playable on standard CD players. Thus, my original point still stands - converting MP3 to WAV is absolutely pointless. Previously, Brett Boyer said: cd players do not play wave files so putting wave files on a cd will get you nowhere. You must burn them as an audio cd which would result in file names ending in CDA. You can't copy files to a cd and then expect them to play on a standard cd player. bb Brett Boyer Audio Production and voice over http://brettboyer.voices.com - Original Message - From: "Vinny Samarco" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 10:51 AM Subject: Re: Downloading mp3 files,changing to wave files for a standardaudio cd. thanks, but I have been asked to make standard cds from these mp3 files.

Re: To all of you Total Recorder aficionados out there, a puzzle for you
You don't have to accomplish this through Total Recorder. Just open Windows Volume Control, and assuming you're running Windows XP, check the box to mute the Line In. By default Volume Control shows playback controls, so muting the Line In will only stop it being played back. In other words, it won't affect your recording at all, and you can get on with using your computer as you normally would. Previously, Larry Higgins said: Well, I guess I should really say that puzzle is mine. Hopefully somebody can help me restore harmony between me and TR. Just a little bit of background. I had a nearly fatal accident with my computer at the end of March of the previous year. No need to go in to all that, except to say that it became necessary to rebuild my computer from the ground up, software wise. Yesterday, after all that time, I needed to schedule and record a radio program from my stereo receiver, using the linein to my soundcard. That part went fine, but the problem is what follows. The problem is simply this. I can no longer get TR to mute the sound coming into the linein when recording. This used to allow me to record from my receiver, allowing me to do any other work without interference from what I am recording from the external source. I have scoured every dialog box for any remedy, and just can't find one. I remember there being a monitoring option that one could check or uncheck in a previous version, and when unchecking that box, that, at least as far as I can remember, allowed me to record linein in the background, but now I can't seem to find anything remotely relating to monitoring, unless it is preview monitoring, and that doesn't seem to help. Please, please, don't get this issue confused with hearing speech through my soundcard going to my linein recording. I have that covered, no problemo. If I can further clarify the issue, please let me know. I guess I can always find something to do other than use my computer during these times, but would like to once again have the option of computing in silence.

The Onyx series are very nice and sturdy--the only non-metal parts on 'em are the knob caps and the rubber-clad side rails. But be prepared to pay double what you'll pay for a Behringer. Regarding the interface, spending a hundred, hundred-and-fifty, dollars for a Fast Track Pro or anything similar is not such a bad thing. It doesn't have a lot of I/O, but if you'll be using a mixer on the front end and a direct audio feed to your PC or an analog feed to some theater gear on the back end, you could do lots worse.

Cables Needed for new Audio Setup
Hi everyone. I'm new to the world of audio recording, production, studio equipment, etc. Its the hardware side of things, or specifically cabling, that's confusing me today. I don't have a super advanced or professional set up, as this my first go at anything pro-audio-related. I have recently purchased a Yamaha MG166C 16 channel mixer, and an M-Audio Delta 44 PCI audio interface. I also have a more basic, generic USB audio interface that I will be using for media playback. I only need 1 microphone input at the moment, and 2 line inputs from external devices. I am slightly confused as to what cables I will need to set all this up, so have detailed what I want to accomplish below. I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between TRS and TS connectors, as well as balanced and unbalanced signals. So thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer. What I want to accomplish: - Dynamic microphone on channel 1 (already set up with correct cable) - Audio from an external device patched into mono channels 3 and 4: for this, I assume I need either a stereo 6.3mm to dual mono 6.3mm TRS cable, or the same but with a 3.5mm stereo plug for more consumer-grade devices. However, does the cable need to be balanced, or unbalanced? It will only be running to devices extremely short distances away. - Audio from a digital AV receiver on mono channels 5 and 6: The AV receiver has RCA phono outputs, so for this I guess I need a dual phono to dual mono 6.3mm TRS cable? Again, should this cable be balanced or unbalanced? - Output from a basic audio interface on stereo channel 11/12: The interface again has RCA outputs, so I think I need a dual phono to stereo 6.3mm TRS cable? - Outputs of the Delta 44 coming in on stereo channels 13/14 and 15/16: For this, am I right in thinking I need a dual mono TRS 6.3mm to Stereo TRS 6.3mm cable? - Outputs of the 1/2 group and 3/4 group buses on the mixer to the inputs on the Delta 44: I'm guessing here that I need a dual mono TRS 6.3mm to dual mono TRS 6.3mm cable? I could not find any of these at DolphinMusic or DigitalVillage, so would 2x mono TRS 6.3mm to mono TRS 6.3mm cables work? - Finally, the output of the stereo L/R bus to the basic audio interface: The interface has RCA inputs, so do I need a dual mono 6.3mm TRS to dual phono cable (the same type of cable that I think I need for the AV receiver)? Again, thanks in advance to anyone who can offer any help with this; none of the cables will be running over long distances (3m at the most). -- James Scholes -- Contact Information E-Mail: ja...@jls-radio.com <mailto:ja...@jls-radio.com> MSN/Windows Live Messenger: jamesscho...@msn.com Skype: james.scholes AOL Instant Messenger: jamesscholes000 Jabber: jamesscho...@jabber.org Social Networks Facebook: jamesscholes000 <http://www.facebook.com/jamesscholes000> Twitter: JamesScholes <http://twitter.com/JamesScholes> Last.fm profile: jamesscholes000 <http://www.last.fm/user/jamesscholes000> www.JamesScholes.com <http://www.jamesscholes.com> -- To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Basic Soundcard
Hello, Can anyone suggest a cheap soundcard, either USB or PCI (not Firewire), that would be suitable for playback of basic system sounds (my screen reader, system notification sounds, output of programs like Skype, etc)? I've just taken delivery of a new Yamaha mixer and Delta 44 audio interface, and for obvious reasons, don't want to use the Delta for misc. system audio. My on-board card doesn't sound particularly pleasing, and the other USB interface I have here isn't that great either. -- James Scholes -- Contact Information E-Mail: ja...@jls-radio.com <mailto:ja...@jls-radio.com> MSN/Windows Live Messenger: jamesscho...@msn.com Skype: james.scholes AOL Instant Messenger: jamesscholes000 Jabber: jamesscho...@jabber.org Social Networks Facebook: jamesscholes000 <http://www.facebook.com/jamesscholes000> Twitter: JamesScholes <http://twitter.com/JamesScholes> Last.fm profile: jamesscholes000 <http://www.last.fm/user/jamesscholes000> www.JamesScholes.com <http://www.jamesscholes.com> -- To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Re: The Zoom H1 audio recorder
The PCM-D50 is fitted with 4 GB of internal flash memory and a Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo^(TM) slot. To be fair, if you thought the noise floor was too high on the H1, then either you have a very special purpose for it, like recording speech in super quiet environments, or you've wasted your money because you don't understand that 99% of sounds you capture are loud enough to mask the sound. And if they're not, use an expander/gate on your recording afterwards. The H1 is not designed for the same applications that the PCMD50 is, but that's not to say it can't do a damn good job. And as you said, for $99, not only can you honestly not get anything better, but you'd be a fool to suggest that a $99 piece of kit with no menus is up to the same standards of a menu-driven, $600 recorder like the PCMD50. With the Sony recorder, or any other recorder with menus but no speech, you have a hell of a lot more to remember than sample and bit rate. For a start, you need to remember where those settings are in the menu system, never mind how to set them once you get there. So I don't see it as a floor of the recorder, as only the DM4, DM520 etc from Olympus overcome memory problems by providing speech feedback. Previously, Dane Trethowan said: Yeah but correct me please about a few issues that the Sony machine has, for example can it only use memory stick? If so then I'm not particularly interested in that. As the review states on the H1, the noise factor of the Zoom H1 is only noticable in very quiet environments and you can hear this in the review itself so given all that? Well I reckon $99.0 U.S. is an absolute bargain. Admitedly you'll need a reasonable memory to remember what the format and sampling rate is set to but most people I know have good memories.

Vocal Microphone and Soundcard Recommendations
Hi all, I plan to purchase a Yamaha MG166C mixer, and a M-Audio Delta 44 soundcard. For obvious reasons, I don't want speech from my screen reader, and system sounds, to go through my production card (the Delta). My on-board soundcard places too much emphasis on low-end frequencies, and playing anything through its outputs sounds less than desirable. What soundcards are people using for system sounds, speech, etc? My experience has been that speech, especially Eloquence, does not sound great through pro audio cards. Secondly, what microphones would people recommend for simple vocal applications (podcasting, recording, internet broadcasting, etc)? I'll be using this microphone with the Yamaha mixer I mentioned above, and I'm currently using a cheap Behringer dynamic (the XM8500). -- James Scholes -- Contact Information E-Mail: ja...@jls-radio.com <mailto:ja...@jls-radio.com> MSN/Windows Live Messenger: jamesscho...@msn.com Skype: james.scholes AOL Instant Messenger: jamesscholes000 Jabber: jamesscho...@jabber.org Social Networks Facebook: jamesscholes000 <http://www.facebook.com/jamesscholes000> Twitter: JamesScholes <http://twitter.com/JamesScholes> Last.fm profile: jamesscholes000 <http://www.last.fm/user/jamesscholes000> www.JamesScholes.com <http://www.jamesscholes.com> -- To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

If it's stealing, then please explain...
... Why it is sales and other revenue in every industry supposedly effected by this so-called theft continue to increase. Year over year, DVD sales, music sales, and movie rentals have undergone a significant increase, so says just about every independant study not in the pocket of the RIAA and MPAA. Which, escentially, is just about everyone who isn't the RIAA and MPAA. Even online methods that are considered legal (Netflicks, etc) have seen increases to their rental and streaming revenue, in spite of the fact places like Blockbuster are establishing agreements with studios to arange it so that Netflicks doesn't see new releases from those studios until 28 days after Blockbuster receives those same new releases. Also, while you're at it, kindly explain why it is sales of books in just about every format continue to increase, in spite of the fact industry lobbiests continue to insist they're all taking a drastic nose dive the likes of which haven't been seen since the Titanic sank. Additionally, explain this to me. If getting your hands on a copy of a book, CD or movie you haven't paid for is so illegal/immoral/otherwise a sin on the same level as breaking into a store and taking something, why is the exchanging/giving away/otherwise distributing of actual, hard copy books still so popular? It's far from uncommon for avid book readers to read something, then pass it on to someone else to read, who will then pass it on to someone else while at the same time passing something they'd just finished reading back the other way. That's not considered illegal, and has been going on arguably since the invention of books. But yet, the same copy of that book is being passed from one hand to another. It hasn't been paid for by these other people. It hasn't resulted in any compensation whatsoever to the author from these other people for the privelege of reading that book. And no one's thrown a fit over billions upon billions of lost sales dollars because each and every one of those people who dared crack that book didn't pony up the money for their own copy before doing so. Why is that so different from the digital era, in spite of the fact the only real change is now if someone else wants to read that book, the original buyer doesn't have to give up their copy? I'd really appreciate hearing the explanation for that from some of these folks who seem to be under the impression we've all joined the rip off the author/musician/actor bandwagon here. Anyone?

RE: It's Still Stealing
Audiobook sales are pretty much exactly like album sales. The publishers see most of the revenue from it, whereas the authors get stuck with very little. And, indeed, there are quite a few authors now who are releasing their books online first, knowing they'll be downloaded, given away, whatever, and knowing that'll transfer over into more direct interactions with readers. That, in turn, will generate more revenue that goes directly to the author. Why do you think publishers are now getting all uppity because people are being drawn more to ebooks? They don't get as much of a kickback from it--the author gets more of the money then. That's why you see, if you actually bother to read about it, publishers pulling their selections from Amazon and companies like that. If a book is good enough, people will pay for it anyway, whether they've purchased it or not. Because, and rightly so, authors do deserve to be compensated for the work. But they're more likely to pay for it in methods that go directly to the author if that's the case, and bypass the publishers entirely. Also, though I suspect pointing it out will serve only to be ignored, there's a ton and a half of evidence that says piracy doesn't have nearly the effect on sales of any variety as the industry would like to have you believe. In fact, sales in certain industries are actually inicreasing, be there piracy or no piracy. But best not tell that to the lobbiests just in case they brand you a pirate by association. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: April 19, 2010 9:24 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: It's Still Stealing No, but the library won't let you make copies of that book and give them away or sell them to others.

This kind of protection is necessary in order to ensure cooperation with the publishers.

RE: It's Still Stealing
I was waiting for someone to make that argument. If the public library system uses that, and I haven't found evidence yet that says most of them do, that's very nearly as ridiculous as the system BARD uses. That's escentially saying to consumers, "We don't trust you as far as we can throw you, but rather than restrict how and when you can play the books, we'd rather destroy them and replace them than take the chance someone might actually want to take longer than x days to listen to them. Something tells me that would do more damage to the library than any potential piracy might. But, leave it to the government to pick the option most likely to be laughed off. Never mind cracked in a week. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Robert doc Wright Sent: April 19, 2010 10:50 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: It's Still Stealing so, it sounds like you would prefer the NLS to use the same standards as the public library does with their overdrive books and build in a self-destruct feature so that you can no longer use the book after a set period of time? - Original Message - From: "Frank Ventura" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 7:10 AM Subject: RE: It's Still Stealing > If I walk into my local public library and check out a book the > librarian doesn't tell me which room in my house I can or cannot read > the book in.

RE: It's Still Stealing
The RIAA is in quite a bit of hot water right now because of its legal tactics over the last few years. Namely, sue first, intimidate second, ask questions later. They sued a 60-year-old woman who didn't even know how to download music because they claimed someone from her house was downloading music illegally. She was the only one who lived there, and didn't have any kind of network or anything for anyone not living there to gain access to. But, that didn't stop them from suing her, trying to force her to settle, and successfully bilking her out of multiple thousand dollars. That's just one example. Throw "RIAA lawsuit" into google or some other search engine and you can probably find plenty of others. So no, I wouldn't be overly concerned if someone from the RIAA showed up at my door, because at best their track record has been questionable. And if just one of the things I supposedly downloaded proves to be inaccurate, they effectively have no case. Every day now I hear of another court case that gets tossed out because the RIAA basicly had no leg to stand on but was kind of hoping their victims would crack before that could be established. And yet, every day, the RIAA keeps going on and on about how it's got an extremely high success rate at restoring the billions upon billions of dollars stolen out of the pockets of musicians by the wicked evil music downloaders. Because, you know, they're just looking out for the artists after all. Nothing to do with the fact they get pretty much all the money generated by CD sales anyway. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Tom Sent: April 18, 2010 2:38 PM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Re: It's Still Stealing The websites that allow you to download music and other copyrighted material are illegal in the United States. Many of these sites are not in the United States and there have been situations where The the United States have put blocks on these out of country websites. The RIAA is going after people all the time and arresting them and fining them for all the material they downloaded illegally. If you do a lot of illegal downloading you could well find someone from the RIAA at your door someday. If you pay for a CD or an MP3 song you can make as many copies of it you wish as long as you and only you use it for yourself. If you give a copy of that CD or MP3 song to someone else then it becomes illegal. Books from the NLS is a completely different situation. The copyright holder of the books gives the NLS permission to reproduce their books in a special format. That's why the NLS books that are on cassette are recorded in order, track one, track three, track two and track four. The idea was that when recorded in this format the books could not be played on a standard cassette recorder. The NLS cassettes are also recorded at half normal cassette speed. This is also the reason digital books from the NLS are in a special format. The NLS had to insure the copyright holders of books that they would be used only by blind people and other handicapped people who could not read a normal print book.

RE: It's Still Stealing
Kevin, the point is this. Why should you, after obtaining the NLS books, have to go and get one of the NLS approved players just to enjoy the privelege of being able to listen to the book while not at the computer? That would be like Soni putting out an album with copy protection that limitted what you could play it on to CD players manufactured by Soni. Soni already tried the whole copy protection to prevent people from putting the contents of CD's on their computers, or copying them to other CD's. A pretty high-profile lawsuit later, they don't do that anymore. Apple tried to say you could only put music you purchased from iTunes on your iPod. You couldn't burn that to CD, or play it in anything else that wasn't either your iPod or iTunes. Specificly, the version of iTunes on the computer to which it was downloaded. Without getting into the nitty gritty details, let's just say they don't do that anymore either. The same applies to NLS. The only reason it hasn't changed yet is because there's no reason for them to, according to them. Hence, people will continue to break the copy protection anyway. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Kevin Minor Sent: April 18, 2010 6:02 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: It's Still Stealing Hi John and list. I'm going to comment on several messages that I've seen on this topic. First, John, I wonder if your direct boss is the owner of the station. If he is, the station may get into trouble if publishers find out he is allowing material sent to the station is being copied. This material is specificly for the use of the station. In fact, I'm not sure if the owner of the CD actually owns the music. With software, you are licensed to use the software. You don't own the copy you use, you just have a license for it. I'm not blaming you for copying the CD's. Just be aware that the station could be in legal trouble if investigated. As for using VCR's or tape recorders, this has been a debate that the publishers of material have had with people for years. I don't know the legal wording, but I believe that courts have ruled that so long as you use the material you obtain from over the air, you have the right to use it for your own private use. This also holds for albums you buy. If you decide to make a compilation CD for a friend, technicly you're breaking the law. I'm guilty of doing this myself. I'm not getting anything for what I do either, but that doesn't make what I do legal. As for recording material over a computer, there has been a product cease production precisely because of this, and it made many blind people mad. XM had a great device called a PCR. You'd hook the antenna to it, run a cable from it to either the line in jack of your sound card or stereo, and hook it up to your computer with a USB cable. The software that came with it displayed the channel you were on, as well as the title and artist of the song being played. Unfortunately, someone figured out how to convert the audio into labeled mp3 files. I say unfortunately, because the RIAA learned about this and threated to sue XM. The product no longer was made. I did get lucky and purchased one of these. It's not the most accessible piece of equipment with a screen reader, but you can view the title of the song that is being played, as well as easily switch channels by entering their number. Now for my comments on BARD, which I'll call NLS. First, it's not true that you have to buy a player to listen to NLS books. Your local library can provide you with a free player to play this content. It not only plays NLS content, but mp3 files, as well as some other standard audio file formats. It's true that you can't play things like books from Audible, but you can't beat the price of either the player or the books you can download. It's true that the books are in a protected form, but I personally don't have a problem with this. Finally, we could have limitless arguments on what publishers should get for their work, how they protect it, and ways to circumvent these protection schemes. In short, if someone copy protects something, someone will find a way to crack it. As for NLS, I think it's sad that it's limited to U.S. citizens, but I understand why. Have a good day, and don't work too hard.

RE: It's Still Stealing
I've said it before, but it deserves to be said again. Just because it's illegal does not, under any circumstances, mean it's wrong. It just means that the RIAA and MPAA have been successful in lobbying governments to give them more money. In actuality, if you want to stick with the list of things that aren't likely to be challenged in court, it is still illegal for you to tape something off the radio, or off your TV. Television programs, particularly live broadcasts, make it a point of pointing that out on at least one occasion during the broadcast. Do people still do it? Of course. Will it be challenged? Probably not. Would the MPAA throw every single person who's done it in jail if they thought they had a remote chance of getting away with it? In a heartbeat. Same with the RIAA. Why do you think you're not allowed to bring a video camera into a movie theater? It may only be for personal use, but it's still illegal. And in that case, people have actually been arrested for piracy as a result of it. Heck, Warner Brothers just got finnished suing a talk show because the 30-second clips of music that show played were supposedly not paid for, and the show was effectively branded an advocate of piracy in court. Now, I'm not sure if the suit actually got anywhere, but the point is, it's a 30-second music clip. 30 whole seconds. And the RIAA was up in arms because it wasn't paid for. Keeping in mind that, even had it been paid for, the artists responsible for those clips probably wouldn't see nearly half of the payment anyway. In another instance, a band posted a video of one of its songs on Youtube, hoping that people would take that video, post it on other websites, get more people to watch it, which would translate to more money for them in the long run. The band was Okay Go. Once the RIAA caught wind of it, they forced Youtube to shut down the video. When the video was finally brought back, the ability to post it on any website that wasn't Youtube was removed, and it came with advertisements that delivered a kickback to the RIAA. Shortly thereafter, the band pretty much informed the RIAA where they could put their advertisements. There are a ton and a half more situations like this, where it's not about what's legal but rather about more money for the RIAA and the MPAA. Most of today's musicians probably don't care how their music gets listened to, so long as it translates into more money for them. And, since they make most of their money from performances and other items that aren't necessarily CD's, they're not losing very significant funds if someone decides not to pay the $20 for an album when they only like one song from it. Especially if they're more likely to pay $50 for a concert ticket, most if not all of which goes right into the band's pocket rather than the record lable anyway. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: April 18, 2010 6:18 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: It's Still Stealing A few points.

It's my understanding that sometimes special CD's can be distributed to broadcasters with the agreement that they not be redistributed. I obviously have no idea if that's what's going on in this case. Copying something you purchased or owned for your own personal use is not illegal, although there's some grey area here, it's generally assumed that no one will challenge the fair use laws. Making analog copies of material broadcast on TV or radio has always been permitted, but again, this is for your own personal use and not to be redistributed.

BARD is under the misguided impression that, even after you download your copy of a particular book, BARD still owns that copy. You have no legal authority to do anything, considered legal or otherwise, with that copy. Not only is that incorrect, but it's also even more restrictive than even the most literally interpreted copyright law. Again, I'll use my example of iTunes. You pay for a couple songs from iTunjes. They're now yours. Apple no longer owns those copies. You can put them on your iWhatever, burn them to a CD, do pretty much whatever you want with them. Not true with BARD.

RE: It's Still Stealing
You touched on the problem right there. Every single thing you download from BARD is copy protected. Meaning, if you can't aford to purchase one of their select authorized players, or if you can't get the government to pay for one for you, yet you still want to actually be able to use what you legally have access to, you can't. Unless you break their copy protection, which the BARD loyalists will officially and immediately declare piracy. That isn't piracy, however. You have access to the material. You were allowed, by BARD, to download the material. You are authorized, by BARD, to keep, and listen to, everything you download from them indefinitely. The only thing BARD doesn't authorize you to do is listen to it while you're out somewhere without first going broke. *That* is what promotes piracy. If I have the choice to download something from BARD, fork over a couple hundred dollars for one of their authorized players, and then listen to the book while I'm on my way to work, or download a torrent of the same book, and copy it to the MP3 player I already have, which option do you think I'm going to go for? Same thing with people who find ways to break BARD's copy protection. They want the material, but either don't want to or can't aford to buy one of BARD's blessed players. They still want the material, and they still want to be able to listen to it while on their way to work. They already have a portable player, but by BARD's logic, you absolutely must buy a second portable player, just for BARD, or you'll be declared a pirate. Sorry, no. I already bought one. And it cost a whole lot less than the VR Stream. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of mitchell Sent: April 18, 2010 11:46 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: It's Still Stealing Your rite, but after you download the file you don't return it.

RE: It's Still Stealing
Sure, if you believe BARD. Unfortunately, they're borrowing talking points from the recording industry.

RE: It's Still Stealing
Apple tried to do the exact same thing with their iTunes. They tried limitting exactly what type of player you could put their music etc on in the same way BARD is. The reasons that didn't work are the exact same reasons BARD shouldn't be doing that either. If you get your hands on something, whether you have legal access to do so or not, you're going to want to do whatever you want with that something. Either put it on a CD, or copy it to something smaller than your Victor Reader, or any number of things. And if someone wants to burn that book to a CD, or do something else with it that BARD has decided they're not allowed to, even though they have legal access to it, people are just going to find less legal means to do so. Rather than prop up and defend an out of date business model, people should be pushing companies like BARD to get caught up with the rest of the world and actually give people a choice as to what to do with their acquisitions. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Ford Blackwell Sent: April 18, 2010 11:28 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: It's Still Stealing But with Bard, you're not permitted to share and you have to qualify for their service by being blind and having a player that they authroize.

RE: It's Still Stealing
It's not theft if the person it's being copied from doesn't actually lose anything. Did you copy a tape growing up? Same thing. All you're doing is just copying another file. That it happens to be a digital file is irrelevant. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Tom Sent: April 18, 2010 6:49 AM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: It's Still Stealing It's still stealing whether or not your boss gives you permission to copy it.

Isolading and/or removing instrumentation and/or vocals from tracks in Goldwave?
Hello all, I'm interested in knowing if there's an easy way to either isolate or remove particular instruments, or vocals, from a musical track in Goldwave. Failing that, if there's another program I can look into that'll handle that for me. I've done some searching, but I haven't seen yet any kind of simplistic or non-headache-inducing way of doing so. If anyone has the answer, I'd appreciate knowing. Thanks in advance. James To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
