program to convert m4b files to mp3 and split into chapters

2017-09-25 Thread plrussillo
Hello list.  I’m looking for a good accessible program to convert a audio book 
that’s in .m4b format into mp3 and split the file into chapters automatically 
if possible; please let me know what is accessible with most screen reading 
programs; I heard Audacity can do this but one must look at the timing of when 
chapters start and end; I’m looking for a usable program that’ll find any 
chapter markers and do the splitting automatically.  Thanks in advance for any 
info you can give me.

Sincerely, Peter Russillo

Hello, I use Windows Media Player 12 on a Win 7 Home Premium machine; in a 
playlist, is there a way for my screen reader (I use System Access) to 
announce each track, for example chapters in a series of Bible stories I 
have in a playlist?  Thanks.

Hi Dane, try looking for the Geemarc BDP400; it's a corded phone that talks 
all its functions; I don't know if you're looking for something good for a 
business or home office so this is my two cents worth.

Had to finally throw away my Panasonic Corded phone which has done me 
proud and has given good service for 12 years.


At the time the phone cost $300 I think it was and was an executive 
model, offering everything in a corded phone that a user of a desktop 
phone could want, excellent hands free, 300 number phone book which was 
easy to scroll through - just scroll to the number you wanted, pick up 
the phone and the selected number would be called, some speed dial keys, 
music on hold, socket for a headset and so on, a pricy phone for the 
time but when I compare it to the Telstra rubbish I now have? Well the 
Telstra phone is just that, absolute rubbish.


I’m going to have a look on eBay to see if there are sellers up there 
offering anything better, I doubt I’ll get what I had in the Panasonic 
but one never knows when it comes to eBay, I’ll keep you all posted.

Hi Marvin, before uninstalling anything try some USB speakers; Logitech 
makes good ones; they're powered by the USB port; you can get pretty good 
sound from those; again don't go uninstalling drivers without trying some 
external speakers first; hth

Hi.

Well I have a Toshiba satellite pro c 50 -a.

When I listen on the speakers, sound crappy and very tinny.

No stereo mix, in the sounds, no dts.

Using the intel us audio drivers.

So what happens if I uninstall the enahanced Toshiba audio driver.

Will that improve.

On headphones, it is okay, sound could be better.
any suggestions, or any resources, or point me to any links.

Before I do any thing.

Thanks.

Marvin.

Re: dvd ripping dvd audio ripping software/

Hi, try DVD Audio Extractor; just Google it and you'll find it.  It's 
shareware so you pay about $30 or thereabouts, but after that all updates 
are free; I use it; it's about as accessible as things get; I'm sure there 
are other options but others can fill you in on those, but for my money DVD 
Audio extractor is The One hands down.

Re: Youtube to mp3 Converter for Longer Videos?

Hi Evan, try DVD Video Soft; just Google it; I use their YouTube to MP3 
converter; it's free, and it's worked fine for me.  After installing the 
program go to Options and make sure the box to download album art is 
unchecked; make sure to select a good quality audio that's stereo; under 
Advanced in the dialog, check the box that makes the program compatible with 
screen reading software, and make sure Play sound when download finishes is 
checked.  HTH

Anybody know of a way to convert videos longer than 20 minutes? the youtube 
to mp3 converter site:

www.youtube-mp3.com
only supports conversions of videos up to 20 minutes. I’d like to convert a 
55 minute video to audio so I can download it.

Thanks much.

Hi Peter and list.  Here's a software I use to make the audio of YouTube 
videos into mp3s.


It's available free at

www.dvdvideosoft.com

This site has several pieces of software to download; I use the Free YouTube 
to MP3 Converter; it's pretty accessible; after installing it, go to Options 
and make sure to uncheck the box that says download album art; you don't 
need those; also check the box under Advanced to make the program compatible 
with your screen reader.  I use the software with System Access and have 
found it easy to use; thanks.

I'm missing something obviously, why would people want to do this? Youtube 
videos don't go away, they're just like a link to a radio station or radio 
stream in all respects, click on the link as many times as you like to 
view as many times as you like, saves a whole heap of time and trouble 
dont you reckon? smile.

Hi Tom, Peter here.  I think DVD Audio Extractor will let you see video as 
well, just open the program, put in the DVD and tab to the Play button; I've 
read that that way sighted people will be able to watch, but if you google 
it and read the info it'll tell you if that is correct; thanks.
