My new Olympus DM-19 digital voice and music recorder has an input that is for both Microphone and earphone. The microphone works, my headphones work, but the irock FM broadcaster I bought at radio shack doesn't work in it, nor do any of the headphone plugs at my local radio shack. How can I get the Olympus recorder to recognize the irock? Do I need a different FM broadcaster? Are radio shack's plugs too short for the Olympus receptacle? They look virtually identical.
Read other answersI recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
arial My Sony Minidisc player records really well, how do I get the files that I have recorded with a microphone transfered to my computer for editing?
Best way I know is to get a male to male Line In-Out cord. It looks like 2 ends of a headphone socket attached. You would plug one end in the line in or mic socket on the computer and the other in the headphone socket of the minidisc player.
Is this the same thing you just posted regarding an olympus minidisc player?
Can anyone recommend software for copying MP3's to minidisc. The software that comes with the player is fine, but you have to import the mp3's into a playlist, which means they are duplicated. This takes up room on my hard drive.

Is there anything else I need to buy? Does it come with everything to transfer mp3s from my pc to minidisc or shal i ned to buy something else? or download anything
I want to tidy up some audio files a friend has recorded onto Mini Disc, but the software that comes with it will only allow you to put on the PC what you have taken off. Does anyone know of a program that will allow you to use your USB connection to import the audio to the PC. I've tried using the earphone socket of the Minidisc and the Microphone socket of the PC, but the quality's not as good. Cheers.

I need to find a way to get the recorded files from the minidisc to my computer so that i'd beable to burn them and give them to some people(so that they could play it like a regular cd or at least use their computer to play it)I tried plugging the line cable into the mic jack on the back of my computer but that didn't work to well since the program the comes with windows doesn't record to long. Is there another recorder that i could download that is able to record longer? Is there anyother way to get it on to my computer.
I'm trying to give some people the stuff i secretly recorded in a staff meeting and it is very important.
Thanks for any help.
Do you have a Creative sound card? They sell an accessory to their sound cards (it comes with the Augidy Platinum and Live! Platinum) for I think $30 or so and it has an optical in and out especially meant for minidiscs. It comes with some pretty good software. Also, Sony makes a computer to MD interface that you can easily transfer recordings with. Otherwise, I haven't had much luck either trying to record through the analog onto my computer so I wouldn't be able to help ya there.
a friend of mine showed me a disc that he was sent by a friend in japan, it has songs on it that he composed and he wanted to know if I could copy them to a cd for him. the problem is I never saw a disc like that, it looks like a standard floppy disc except that it is smaller, it is made by tdk and all the writing on it is printed in japanese, he took it to a couple of big box stores and they know nothing about them. tdk's website shows that they have them and they are called minidisc but no other info, can anyone help?
Does it look like this?
If so, yes its a minidisc. It was phased out several years ago. You'll need to find a player to be able to use it. I have a Sony player/recorder.
Hello,
I was given what I think is a minidisc. It looks like a cd, only much smaller. It isn't completly round however, as two of the edges are trimmed down. It looks more like an oval now.
My question is, if I were to buy some of these, can I copy my stuff onto them just like a regular cd? With Nero or whatever, and secondly, anyone know where I can find these items to purchase? Thanks!
hello
you can copy onto them if they are writable discs or rewritable discs. ive seen and used some of the discs you described. they are made that way for convience --like the size of your pocket easy to lug around. However they do not hold the storage capacity of 80 minute (800mb) they generally hold anywhere from 150mb - 210mb . also click on this link to see where to get them. http://www.plaza101.com/plaza/search/res/r8174691.html I have purchased them at office max at one time. hope this is a help
is it possible to record song i have on my computer hard disk directly onto a minidisk? if so how? i have Sony MD (MZ-R70) and am using Windows 98SE
You should be able to record it the R70 via your sound card. You can either use a patch cable to go directly from the speaker port on your sound card to the mic port on the R70, or you might be able to record the song just off the speakers from your computer, tho the quality won't be very good. You might have to search a little to find a cable that will connect your sound card to the R70.
Here is a link to more info on the R70 .
Does anyone know of a program that can be used to create a MiniDisc (sony NETMD NE-410) or any other media player, besides RealOne, that can used to create MiniDiscs?

Anyone haev any ideas?

PS I have a Sharp MD-MT270H
I purchased a SOHOUSB card reader on Ebay that came with drivers on a Minidisc.It will not load on an IBM Thinkpad 600 running Win 98SE. Someone advised me that I would need drivers to make it work with Win 98SE.Where would I find these drivers?
Copy the drivers from the CD (surely you mean the small sized CD and not the Sony music media) on a computer that manages to read it.
Having recorded and finalised my discs I can watch them on my computer but can't save the recordings from the mini dvd to my hard drive. I used to be able to so I'm not sure what has change. Any ideas?
My computer recognizes the minidisc player and downloads a driver for it, but the minidisc player will not work. I have plugged it into my USB port, but nothing happens. It is a Sony and in the handbook Sony says that I need to contact my computer manufacturer for a USB audio upgrade.
I have no experience with it, but you say that the computer recognizes the player but nothing happens. How is it recognized? Does the player play the disk at all? Can you plug in your earphones and also the usb at the same time and if so, hear music. Have you check the various Volume Control Propetrties to make sure that the one for hte player is not turned down or muted? Post back with more details if possible.
When I play tracks in my Playlist they play for just over 30 seconds and then STOP.
The CDs were loaded into OpenMG some time ago.
Any ideas?
hey guys, i need help, i have a sony net md, and for the last few months, i cant transfer songs from my computer to the minidisc, it says "Cannot convert the specified track.

I recently purchased a sony minidisc player. Is there a program or a way, after I'ver recorded something live through a microphone, to upload that file to my computer and convert it to an mp3. Is that an impossiblity? Does anyone have any insight?
You could try here :
http://www.audiotools.co.uk
They have an extensive range of sound utilities for free download either Free or Shareware.
My husband and i are in a band and are trying to upload our music to a local site. It said we needed mp3 files so we tried coverting our wave file to an mp3 file ( my husband downloaded something that said it could do this) and now we have no sound. The speakers still make little crackling noises like they are still live but we get no sound.
HELP!
Try a different program.
Are you converting from CD, or a wave file on the hard drive?
.
I've tried a lot of things to figure this out and it's been going on for quite awhile, still if anyone can post any reason why it won't stream sound, please do so, I want help badly.
I tried an instill of a new hard drive and made it the master drive, however I couldn't install windows from a disc (pci.sys) so instead i copied my os off of the old hard drive but everything had to be copied. (If you can tell me an install process to help me with my sound that'll work too)
youtube doesn't work.. etc
absolutely everything from the internet = no sound except if it caches a file and plays that file instead.
checked volumes, "play sound in webages", downloaded codecs, flash, updates.
post anything, please?
I am running Audacity on a new 64 bit computer, running Vista. I had got my sound really good, good enough to do voice auditions, but now when I convert my Wav file to mp3 and send it to myself, the sound is awful. Why is there such a difference, when it sounds so good in Audacity or on my file converter?
I was using the install and change tool and there was a program "RON tool cpmsky" with no size or publisher info. When I try to uninstall it, it asks for a verification code which wants me to type the letters and numbers displayed above the text box. When I type the code and choose continue, the dialog box closes but nothing else happens. How can I get rid of this program?
I am frequently getting pop ups that have the title "RON ads by cpmsky" even when I don't have any browser windows open. I also have had sound files that are of someone talking about buy.com or something. There's a program in the uninstall/remove windows tool with the title RON tool cpmsky with no publisher or size information. When I try to uninstall it, it asks if I'm sure and warns me my computer may not run the same as before. I chose yes, and it wants me to type in a series of 7 letters and numbers displayed above the text box as an uninstall validation. I do and it closes the box but nothing happens. If I type it wrong, it doesn't close the box and says the code is invalid.
Also, when I log in, two "iexplore" processes start without any internet explorer windows opening.
also, sorry for not making a new post, I couldn't figure out how to edit the first one.
What program other than winanp 2.76 or older can be used to play *.xmi files? What software or program can I use to
convert *.xmi files to wav and/or mid? Thanks, ellombris.

I recently purchased an HP Envy Phoenix 860-180st. When I play older .mov files that I have, I hear no audio. I have tried multiple players on the PC and I get the same result from each. I only have the issue with .mov files and no other audio or video files. Does anyone have any idea how to reslove this?
Read other answersRecently I've downloaded some avi files but there's one of them that has no sound when i played it using mpchc. It plays fine using window media player or vlc player. Help please?
Happy New Year
To be honest, I really think the solution is to use another player. In lieu of that have you downloaded all the updates and have the newest version
Release History - MPC Home Cinema
My napster songs will randomly "skip", and I have selective sound omissions on a successfully installed game.
these are problems that are across the board and seem to be an internal malfunction. I play Age of Kings Conquerors exp. all of a sudden, I have no sound on MSN gaming zone and even when playing my pc, all sound works except the sound of my villagers. Whats up?
I'm a budding, young composer (about 300 songs over 40 years) and a little new to the MP3 scene.
I create sound files, usually .wav or MP3 of music but my Vista platform won't let me change or add artist name, track number, etc.
Is there a way to do this on my laptop without downloading $11,000.00 worth of software?
Thanks.
billthelifer, good morning and welcome to Sunday.When you Right-Click on one of your MP3's, does a menu pop up and offer you a "Properties" option?If so, please select that and in the window that pops up, you should see a General tab, a Security tab and a Details tab.It is under the Details tab that you should be able to hover (and click) over any of the fields to add, remove or change any of the details that you want.I just tried this on a couple of MP3's on my Vista machine without any problems. I've got a lot of cluttered MP3's laying around in my Music folder (free stuff I downloaded from a bunch of singer-songwriters) so I used those. Please note that I couldn't relplicate this with a wav file, as I don't have any of those, kinda big and all.Also, just as a quick aside, when you make your MP3's - what app are you using?Please let me know if that helps.Winterland

Can anyone help?

Try installing Quicktime Alternative, with or without the included player. It will not conflict with Quicktime (though it is a good replacement for it) and contains many codecs.

you might be missing a codec. try either watching it in VLC Media player or go to www.free-codecs.com and get one of the codec packs they have there.

Can anyone tell me how to change format of files.
I am trying to send small voice files to friend.
I have sent from Windows Media Centre and from Real PLayer, but they can't open files. They have suggested MP3 file or whatever.
How do I change ?
Thanks
My computer has sound at startup but when I open wmv files and other formats, the video shows but not the sound. My "volume" is maximized and very loud when the computer starts and is shut off.
Is there some setting that I need to change?
Thanks
I don't think there are any codecs for wmv files, so you could try opening the file with a different program such as Media Player Classic.
OK, I'm stumped. I have sound if I play songs on Media Player. I don't have sound if I hit someone's My Space page (or my own), so I can't hear the song being played. I have sound if I play video files on the internet, but I don't have sound if I play movie files uploaded from my camera. I don't have sound on flash files or games. What's going on here? Can anyone help?
Do you have the latest Flash Player installed? Quicktime may help too. Is your system fully updated using Microsoft's Update website?
I have an avi file and I am not getting sound. I have vista and am using windows media player.

when i played song in xp, it acts very strangely. it hangs a lot when i open another window or do anything. please help me
When this happen..... if it just happen try system restore.
Firstly, having read the, now closed thread of the same subject: http://forums.techguy.org/multimedia/542396-no-sound-mpg-file.html I have tried various suggestions to no avail. The solution advocated by DKTaber that apparently soved this issue, actually appears to be riddled with viruss'. Not very pleased about that one at all !
So, why has this happened and what is the solution ?
All mpg files or files from a specific source? Which media player? Have you tried using a different media player?
Open one of the files using gSpot or Media Info. It will list audio and video specs of the file, including the codecs required for playback (and in the case of gspot, if those codecs are installed).
After system crashed, got it restored but all my MIDI and WAV files are missing, I cannot play CD's or any system sounds.
It seams that everything regaurding sound has been wiped out. I have tried reloading windows 98 and have tried to reinstall sound card but nothing seams to bring back sound.
i have gotten error message of there is not hardware or something but I am running out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated
We need to know the model / brand of your sound card before we can start to help.
You said your WAV files are missing? You did a Start, Find, Files for *.WAV and *.MID and nothing shows up?

I am not familiar with surround sound cards, but have been wondering whether it is possible to play different wav files out of each of the channels of a surround sound card?
I have written a small program that allows me to 'merge' 2 mono wav files into a 'stereo' wav file, and play them at the same time - wav1 to left, wav2 to right. What I am hoping to do is extend this to at least 4 wav files, each one coming out of left front, left rear, right front, right rear. Is this possible? If so, where can I get more info on this? I havnt been able to find anything so far on the net.
Thanks for any advice

Most audio file formats are stereo only - you can't possibly put more than two channels in there. AFAIK the only free codec for surround sound is Vorbis.
Can't help you with any specific program to actually create surround Vorbis files.
No sound on MIDI files. Sound on other formats. Win Media player or IrfanView or vanBasco all indicates file is playing. I think I lost sound when I was cleaning out junk from system. OS Win98se.
Hi moldy811, and welcome to TSG.
Double check your volume / sound mixer control panel settings. Make sure that the "SW Synth" channel is not muted and that the volume control slider is not all the way down.
If the settings look OK then double check the System Control Panel / Device manager to see if there are any warning symbols for the sound controller.
I don't know if this question belongs here or not, but all of a sudden my mp3 files on Media Player don't have any sound. They look like they're playing, but there is no sound. Speakers are OK, as I have Audacity and all that is fine. I have a new HP pavilion series with Win 7 if that makes any difference.
when i try to play avi files the sound either lags or doesnt play at all
Probably codec problem. See if this will help.
No sound with avi files.
I bought myself an Archos MiniCDrw2 cd writer in the hope that I would be able to transfer downloaded sound/talk files onto an audio CD and listen to it in the car. I am beginning to think that I didn't think this through properly?!?!
The files I would like to stick on an audio CD are of .rm & .ram extensions.
Is this possible at all? And if not directly, is there some way I get "around it"?
I'm using W98 OS.
Cheers and thanks for any help!

The Realone player will convert and burn .rm files to CD as audio, theres a free version of Realone, you have to look for it, though. www.real.com
I did find a program that can convert .rm to .wav, .mp3, or .wma, it doesnt always work, though. It's called "Streambox Ripper"
.ram files are usually just small text files that tell Realplayer/Realone where to download the actual audio. Open a .ram in Notepad to see that URL.
