Re: an annoyance with Winamp
The problem I'm having that I can't seem to be able to turn VBR off with whatever program I use to rip.

RE: an annoyance with Winamp and time markers
Good morning colleagues and especially Howard, I am inclined to agree that Winamp likely does not store time markkers within the audio file being played, but does so in a separate metadata or config file, similar to the way the VictorReader Stream does with its bookmarks which it stores in a .bkm file. Now that you have me curious, I am hot on the trail of investigating that question and will get back to you. Should someone beat me to the punch bowl grin I thank him or her in advance. Have a joyfiled holiday season all.

Doesn't seem like it'd be in the audio file, though one never knows.

You may or may not know that Winap enables you to time jump the playback cursor to a specific time point. If you type CTRL+J you will be prompted to enter a time. For example, if you want to jump the cursor to 22 minutes and 35 seconds you would type 22:35 and press Enter. IF you want to jump to the 2 hour 28 minute mark you would type 148:00. This is because Winamp appears to operate in minutes recognition mode as opposed to the hh/mm/ss format. Alternatively, Winamp also enables time markers to be defined and to move from one specified time marker to another, very analogous to setting bookmarks in a digital book audio file. To set a time kmarker you would type m, and to go to a preset time marker type alt+shift+M. I hope this helps.

Bear in mind that if the file is VBR the accuracy of the times may be questionable. - Original Message - From: Rob Tabor rob.ta...@sbcglobal.net To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, December 10, 2012 9:43 AM Subject: RE: an annoyance with Winamp Good morning Larry and Listers.

Re: an annoyance with Winamp
Gary, I'm actually playing back through Winamp programs that I recorded through TotalRecorder, and don't think they are VBR, because they are being recorded directly as they are streamed, and not through my soundcard. I've thought of one thing I can try, and that is stopping the Window-Eyes script just to see if that might be a drawback. If it is, then I might just have to continue to put up with it considering the advantages of using the script.
