WAV versus MP3 quality and players that support WAV playb

Is there a listing of which Creative MP3 players support uncompressed (say 6 bit 44. kHz) wav playback? My HD-based 40 Gb Jukebox Zen Xtra does, but do any of the flash MP3 players support wav?Rougly 00 uncompressed CD-Audio wav tracks can be stored on 4 Gb player (or 000 on a 40 Gb unit). How picky are you about the audio quality of your music on your portable player? Obviously, I'm talking about your own CDs you?extract as wav?(or audio you record directly) without MP3 encoding, so you don't have the issue of downloading a 30 Mb single wav track!
Just trying to see if anyone is thinking along these lines of sonic differences for portable players. Has anyone done a listening comparison ? say classical music fans who might have pickier listening ears??

I appreciate your comment on 92 kbps MP3.One Canadian online pay-per-track outlet, Puretracks.com,?sells wma tracks (DRM protected naturally) at 92 kbps which should be as good or better than MP3 at the same sample rate. Interestingly, Puretracks.com recently started offering (unprotected) MP3 at 92 kbps also .. probably feeling the pressures of missing out on other mp3 players that can't handle wma/DRM.See:?http://www.puretracks.com/content/vi...=GlobalNav_MP3and note the blurb on legalities. I'd be interested in your suggestion on a good CD track where the audio differences between 28 vs 92 kbps ripping are obvious to even the most indifferent ears ? .. not that mine are!Pick a Beatles track for example.

Looking for a list of Creative players that support subscription music.

I currently have a 40 GB Touch that I'm very happy with now that it has subscription music support. I'd like to get my daughter a player for Xmas and get her a subscription of her own so I don't have her music downloading to my machine every time I log in to YME. I hesitate to trust the list that Yahoo has since it doesn't even list the Zen Touch yet. Does Creative have a list posted somewhere so that I don't have to research every single player they make?

Try Microsoft's web site: http://www.playsforsure.com
From what I remember the player's with PFS support are: Zen Micro Photo, Zen Sleek, Zen Micro, Zen Touch and Zen Xtra (in approximate descending order of release date).

Which first version of safari (win and mac) that support SSLv3?

As per the title said, it will be great if i can have the answer.

Safari let's you change your identity ( user agent string ) to anything. This is what the server thinks you are running. Want to be run Windows 7 IE8? No problem.

Whether the pages looks good depends on the capabilities of the Browser.

HTML 5 and CSS 3 Support In Dreamweaver CS5

I cannot find any information on this web site about whether and how Dreamweaver CS5 supports HTML 5 and CSS 3. There are lots of other fancy high-end whiz-bang technologies highlighted in CS5, but without support for HTML 5 and CSS 3, Adobe has left a great big hole in the middle of the new Dreamweaver. If I'm going to have to code these by hand, then there's little incentive for me to upgrade from CS4. Adobe may, by this oversight, intend to extend the useful life of Flash, but if this is so it's penny wise and pound foolish. There is much to like about Flash - and much to dislike about how it works on the user side. Leaving these problems unresolved hurts Flash, and leaving HTML 5 and CSS 3 support out of Dreamweaver hurts Dreamweaver. In other words, this is a lose-lose strategy.

Hi Scott
Sorry for the delay in replying, but I turn my internet connection off when working, otherwise I have found I tend to do more research than work.
Media-Queries:
I had viewed the video on the possible implementation of media-queries when it was first released, and in most respects the implementation is as I would expect, but it would be helpful if it was, (in a future development of the use) possible to show a list of 'common' smartphone/handheld devices, (makes/models) within the dreamweaver interface that would be usable with the screen size being used, (possibly as an import from the 'device central' device list as a drop-down list). My reason for asking for this feature is primarily as a time saving feature for the css layouts via media-queries as it would then show the targeted/usable devices in a list, and possibly alleviate the requirement of developing layouts that are not really required.
Video:
At the moment I am using the video feature as you have indicated where possible, and am doing so with the use of IECC's for IE as a fall-back for that browser. I have tried targeting versions if Firefox and Safari that support the video element by testing for it with JavaScript, but I have found this unreliable, possibly when the standard is finalized this may be the better method.
SVG:
I personally have decided to go with svg in preference to canvas. I have seen a few 'wow' factor demo's produced using canvas but as they use cross-compiled java to javascript code they are in reality showing nothing that has not been done before, (If we had 4Ghz processors with multi-core in 1999 similar trial graphics in vml would have worked just as good then, showing my age here!).
My current work-flow with svg is - Inkscape - Modify the code by hand/preview in a browser - copy/past the code into dreamweaver.
The current in-line implementation of svg's in the IE9 preview is where I see the main future of the svg implementations, as this makes using svg's for graphic elements and basic animations much more viable/easier for the average designer/developer, and lets not forget that as it is a vector it is ideal for resizeable background images in fluid/liquid layouts.
I should say here, that I will for the foreseeable future use flash/swf's for more complex animations, as these are still much better quality than anything that can be achieved with svg or canvas.
I would like to see the possibility of using Fireworks for the creation of svg's, and a work flow similar to that available between fireworks and dreamweaver at the moment.
Cache manifest and database:
As you have rightly grouped these two together, (and I cannot really envision a situation that they would not be used so) the situation with these is for me, (when trying to create the code for use) the necessity of 'remembering' what I must include in the cache and the transfer of the data for the database.
Both are probably better explained with a typical scenario -
A new research/development firm has developed the technology and parts to upgrade an autos internal combustion engine to an hydrogen powered engine. However the products list is specific to the motor manufacturers engine type, and to make matters worse the sales department also wishes an off-line version of the demos and parts list to be available to its sales team and customers, (o/k, maybe this is not a typical scenario, but it does demonstrate the usage).
When developing the 'custom' html 5' enabled page I would require the cache manifest to include all necessary javascript/images/videos that would be required for the particular auto manufacturer to be available off-line, and compiling the list must be done at present by hand making it subject to possible errors.
As for the database, (manufacturer specific) this must also be available off-line and updateable by the sales person and customer, as they are not always on-line and no hard-copys of material will be produced, (except when printed by the mechanic).
My solution for me regarding the cache manifest would possibly be a dialogue in dreamweaver that would show all resources associated with the auto manufacturers model type used in the html site. I have used namespaces, (or some form of identifier) for general and model specific javascript, and a model identifying code for images and videos. The dialogue would then allow me to filter the resources required using the namespaces and identifier and include them in the list as required, possibly in much the same way that items are moved from a general list to a more specific list when creating the 'favourites' toolbar in dreamweaver.
The database is on first appearance much simpler, as I would simply download the database using the motor_id as a filter, (yes Scott, you can see where I am going with this ) for those who cannot this would be wrong. You have correctly seen the problem with doing this, but I will explain for those who have not. The sales person and the customer would not see any of the images or videos that have references stored in the database, as these are just references and not the actual images/videos, yes one could use 'BLOB' for storing the items but this is not in my experience a reliable method. What is required is some form of method that would also download these items and place them into the required file position for off-line viewing, (which is what the cache manifest would do).
So I would also require the possibility to add dynamically to the cache manifest from an sql database at the same time as the 'save for off-line' option is generated, (I have experimented with doing this in a similar manner that xml is created from an sql database).
That's it for the html 5.
Accessibility:
For checking I use the firefox accessibility extension and total validator extension first, then the WAVE evaluation tool.
But for Dreamweaver I would like to see the inclusion of the ARIA options as standard, especially when developing 'rich-internet-applications' particularly the aria-live and role options. I often find it interesting in discussions about html 5 where it is seen by many as a 'new' mark-up' language for the web, but rarely seen in the context of helping in accessibility when used correctly. Even the html 5 spec contains a section on using the new mark-up as part of accessibility and how the ARIA roles should be applied, (see - http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/content-models.html#annotation s-for-assistive-technology-products-%28aria%29).
The inclusion of an extra live-view option in dreamweaver that render the page in 'screen reader' mode would also be a possible accessibility checking help. This could be done by simply turning off the background-images 'on-mass' and rendering any items as they would be seen by a screen reader. As most screen readers do now parse JavaScript and css, it would illustrate the problems of using such techniques as light-boxes without using the aria-live role to tell users that the light-box in now the focus of the page.
For anyone who has stayed with this post, my sincere thanks, and any comments on the content would be welcome.

Losing Sound Quality and Wont Play

Please Help Me
I am Mixing Music on CS6 and then saving the file (tried most file types) I then drag it over to Itunes in which it will play? However the quality has been reduced and also it will sync to my ipod but will not play it just skips by the track
Please Help Me
This would be life changing :-)
[email protected]

Well, it's hard to be specific without a bit more detail on what you're doing, but...
Instead of trying lots of file types, stick to PCM wave files for your recording, editing and mixing. For the sake of standardising, use 16 bit, 44.1kHz sampling.
When you have your final version ready, save a proper wave file master copy then use Save As to make an MP3 copy and drag THAT into iTunes. This'll still result in a loss in quality--it happens any time you move from uncompressed original files to a compressed version. However, this is the way I do things and it seems okay to me.

Reduce image quality (and file size)

Is there a simple way to reduce the quality of all backgroung
images ? (there are all bitmap images, about 3 MB each of them)
I imagine that by reducing the image quality, the file size
will be less huge...
But I wasn't able to find a way to do that...
(the option about JPEG quality in project/preferences has no
effect, because all background images are bitmap... )
Any idea is welcome !
Valérie

Hi Valerie
I have been doing some research on this -- the issue of file
size (relating to both .cp and .swf) crops up a lot on this forum,
so I wanted to find out which were the critical factors relating to
images.
My findings show that there are two critical factors:
-- Slide Properties: Quality (High, Standard, JPEG,
Optimized)
-- Format of original image file (used for slide background
or inserted image object)
To summarize the results of my testing:
Slide Quality
Changing the slide quality from High
to Standard or JPEG makes little or no difference to the size of
the .cp file but can *significantly* reduce the size of the
.swf
This is an especially useful way of
dealing with the very large .swf file sizes caused by importing PPT
slides
A .swf consisting entirely of
imported PPT slides with complex backgrounds may be reduced to less
than 10% of its original size by changing the quality setting for
each of the slides to JPEG and using a JPEG image quality setting
of 75%.
Format of original image file
For complex images such as photos,
the best image file format to use is (oddly) .bmp -- although it
results in a larger .cp file than other file formats (such as .jpg
or .png), it generates the smallest .swf output.
The benefit of using the .bmp format
is less marked if you have set slide quality to Standard instead of
High, but it can still cut the file size of the .swf output by up
to 50%
For slides using a quality setting of
JPEG, there appears to be no difference in resulting .swf file size
between .bmp or any other image file format
A final comment: it is interesting to compare the size of the
.cp and resulting .swf for different Captivate projects. There is
typically an assumption that the .swf file will be smaller due to
compression. However, this is not always the case. For example, I
tested one project that used High slide quality and images that had
been inserted from .jpg files -- the generated .swf file was over 4
times larger than the .cp file. However, when I changed the quality
setting for all slides to JPEG, the .swf file reduced to less than
50% of the size of the .cp file.
I hope this information is helpful -- please contact me if
you'd like to see the detailed test data.
Best regards,

Are there any mp3 players that CANT record and runs by replacable batteri

hello,
like the topics says, are there any mp3 players that DOES NOT have the recording function and runs by replacable alkaline batteries?
i really need one as i am working in a place that requires stay in and i cant charge players, what makes it worst is that there are like top secret information there and they forbits any recording devices, which most mp3 players have XD
Some help please? thanks! =D

You can check out the MuVo Sport C00 and MuVo Mix player. They are both operating using AAA battery and without voice recorder.

Is it legal to convert the music files, which I have purchased in recent months, to the mp3 format and burn them on to a CD so that they can be played in non-apple music devices that dont support the M4A format?

Yes, of course it is legal.
To convert the format, follow one of these documents:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
iTunes 11 for Mac: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
Also note that you have the option of buying your files in MP3 format in the first place, from Amazon MP3 or other online retailers. MP3 files will work in iTunes as well as virtually every other player, program, and device.

MP3 and restricted codec support

hi,
finally I have my system set and running. I did go for the KDE4 which I like very much and followed all the steps as stated in the Beginner'S Guide.
However, I don't have MP3 neither other multimedia propietary format access like MP4, AAC, MOV, WMA, WMV or RMVB - I carry my multimedia collection of songs, videos and movies from when I was on WinXP (yikes!)- despite I installed Xine and other utilities as desccribed in the Beginner's Guide.
I do can watch some AVI files but can't access sound stream so they're muted. How do I add full multimedia support to my fresh shiny Arch? I did try to search the forums but there's to seem a problem because I keep receiving desconnections errors.

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=93862
Re: MP3 and restricted codec support
why did you opened a new thread instead of discussion in the previous one?
oops, I did it again, sorry! (yeah, I know you prefer Brtiney saying that )
I just did the same of my very first post: promise to don't screw things again and follow the rules.
@Bralkein: thanks for your tips and useful research, I will stick with xine until I backup my root, then maybe I try gstreamer.
@.:B:.: I have panic of installing things that can break my system, before installing Arch few days ago I came from an entire life in *buntuland, so you'll see : D

Browser IE7.0 does not support WebDynpro in Quality and production only

Hi All,
Our portal version is NW04 SP15 adn NWDI is on NW700.We have Development ,Quality and production portal.We are using browser IE6.0 to see the WebDynpro application as we are unable to see the webdynpro application on browser IE7.0.We are gettimg message "Browser does not support WebDynpro".
However few days ago suddenly we are able to see webdynpro application on browser IE7.0 in the Development portal only.When we open the quality and production url on the browser IE7.0 we are getting error message "Browser does not support webdynpro".
Our Basis team askes us to analyze when we open the development url on IE7.0 we are able to see webDynpro application where as when we open the quality and prosuction url on browser IE 7.0 we are getting message "Browser does not support webdynpro"
Can anybody tell why does IE7 work in development (PWD), but not in other EP6 instances quality(PWQ), production (PWP)?
Thanks
Susmita

Hi
Thanks for all your response.
I have alredy gone through the forums why IE 7.0 doesnot support WebDynpro.What to do to make IE7.0 work for webDynpro(SAP note 991449).
I have already told basis team regarding the behaviour of IE7.0.However basis team is sticking to their question what has done in the development so that IE7.0 is working for WebDynpro in Development.
I will ask the patch level from basis team for Development,Quality,production.May be patch is different thats why Dev is working in IE7.0 and not in quality and production.
I am sure the issue not related to code or iView property and related to IE property.Is anything done on the Development instance PWD at Server so that we are able to see webdynpro on IE7.0 for development?
What i need to check in the url https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/pam as i am new to this url.
Thanks

Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?

Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?
On another note, the iPhone tells me that it's ''busy'' when opening a photo on the computer.
(I tried restarting my PC, connecting via another USB port, importing using PhotoStream, etc...)

Are you using the front or rear camera? When you say they are low quality, are you referring to file/pixel size, or how the picture looks? As far as upside down, how are you holding the phone? Older versions of Windows have issues reading the Metadata from the pictures and will not display the same.

Dear Apple Support,
Good day to you.
This is to report the problem i encountered when i updated my Ipad mini to the new IOS 8.1..
After the update my Ipad restart and after that it appears a picture that need to connect to itunes and need to restore. So i connect it to itunes and wait to restore my ipad mini because it is not opening.
After restoring it my ipad is now opening and it is like new that i need to set up again.
I set up again until i reach the apple id and password.
I put my below apple ID and password to unlock my ipad but it didn't work. The message i receive is "the apple ID cannot be used to unlock this Ipad.
What will I do? Please help.
