Hi Thomas:
I downloaded the final version of IE9, I was still using the last beta, and now everything seems to be working again.  Thanks again for your quick response and super software.

Hi Thomas:
AOMRecord has stopped getting the song information again from IE9, it was working for awhile but now has stopped again.  Any ideas?

Hi Thomas:
As usual, you are the master, IE9 Final Version is now working correctly and picking up the song information.  Thanks so much for your usual fast response.

To answer your question, no I have not tried AOMPlayer but will give it a try soon.
Thanks again,

Hi Thomas:
Good news, I tried using VAC again and finally figured out how to make it work, amazing what a little reading will do.  So I got things working with the exiting sound card and have purchased VAC.  I also upgraded to the latest version of AOMRecord but now my registration data is invalid.  I am also running on a new PC and using Win 7 instead of XP.  I followed the direction in the forum for requesting a new key so hopefully I’ll get that soon to make the periodic beeping go away.

Anyway, thanks for your help and responses.  I still think your product is one of the best on the market, I have not seen anything that can compete with it and really enjoy using it, when I can get it to work of course.

Hi Thomas:
Thanks for the quick response.  I am using a Creative Labs Soundblaster X-FI Extreme sound card.  I had sent an email to Creative Labs and they said that this board did not support „What you hear“ support which is what I assume is missing to make it work with your software.  I’m going to give the VAC software another shot, maybe read more detail on the background of how it works.  That might give me more insight into what has to be done.  I’m not a sound board/sound software expert so this is a little frustrating to say the least.  I have seen the USB type of external sound cards.  I am using Windows 7 64 bit so I don’t think that will be a problem.

If you have any further thoughts please let me know.

Hi Thomas:
I still h ave not had any luck making AOMRecord work with my sound card.  I saw your posting to Orville regarding VAC software and I downloaded it and tried it but I could not get it to work.  The one test I did get to work, the volume kept getting higher and higher and AOMRecord never received any pauses or anything just solid 100% audio all the time.  VAC is a complex product and I read the help file but it didn’t do me much good, it would be nice if they had some examples.  I’m about ready to buy a new soundcard, is there anyway to insure a soundcard will work with AOMRecord that would be stated on the box the soundcard comes in so I could be sure it would work before buying it?  I really miss being able to use your software and would consider the purchase a small investment to be able to use your software again.

Hi Thomas:
The only audia device that shows up is the optional Optical input device on the sound card and a driver that gets installed with the other sound recording software I have Total Recorder but that is for a microphone and I’ve tried deinstalling the Total Recorder software so there is only the Optical device shown.  See attached screenshot.  There is nothing attached to the Optical input so there will be no sound on it.  I don’t understand why the Default Speakers or Default Sound Device doesn’t show up as an option.  On the Total Recorder software, it shows the Default Sound Device as well as the Optical interface but for some reason AOMRecord only sees the Optical interface.  I have checked to make sure the Speakers are selected as the Default Sound Device.  I’m really at a loss.  Could this be happening because this is 64 bit Windows 7?

Also, I uninstalled AOMRecord 2.4.616 and downloaded version 2.5 but after I install it, it still says its version 2.4.616, not even 2.4.619 or 2.5.  If I click on Check for Updates, I get a message box stating the function is not available at this time to try later.  I tried everything and I keep ending up with 2.4.616 no matter what.

I really like using AOMRecord but I’m really stuck trying to get it to work since I moved to Windows 7 64 bit and this new sound card.

I’m not sure what you meant by using my real name in thepostings.  Are you saying you want me to create a new ID with my real name of Terrance?

Thanks for your help as always.

Hi Thomas:
I think if you add RadioTuna.com that would be good.  But in my previous post what I was thinking is that if AOMRecord could output a timeline file of the media information showing the start and end time of each media info change then when you used a tool like Audacity you could correlate it with the timeline file you created so you could remember the media info (artist and title) of each song so when you cut the songs apart you know what to name them.  Ideally though, it would be nice if you created a program similar to audacity, although all you would need is the ability to cut songs apart and visualize the audio and it would also show the timeline info of the media.  Then you could slide the Start of Song and End of Song markers along the visual audio section and then tell the program to cut the song and it would automatically use the media info that you recorded to create the file name with artist and song title.
Thanks,
Terrance

Hi Thomas:
I think you are right, with the continuous dialog it doesn’t seem to make much sense to record this station, it’s similar to other stations like satelite radio that makes it difficult to detect pauses between songs.

For stations like this or others that have the pause problem, have you ever though of just recording a stream and simultaneously recording a sort of timeline that would be synchronized with the music but would show the artist and song title information.  Then develop a product something like Audacity that could read the music stream and the timeline of artist and title information and approximate a song end when the title information changes.  Then give the user tools so they can backup or skip forward until they actually hear the end of the song.  Then they could click an icon that would output just that song with the correct artist and title information.  Yes it takes a while but if the program is as clever as your others, it would make the process less tedious.

I had a chance to try Slacker.com with the AOL browser and sure enough, when AOMRecord starts after starting slacer.com in AOL the volume goes very low and if you try to raise the Windows volume control it will reset itself to the previous level as soon as you release the left button on the mouse. It works just fine using Windows Internet browser.

Another question is, I usually use the Windows volume control to lower the volume as low as it will go and click the mute button to record for hours especially overnight. Sometimes when AOMRecord ends because I had set the number of minutes to record, it will turn off the mute option and raise the volume which is not normally a problem unless it’s like 4AM and then slacker.com starts blaring away. is there any reason AOMRecord does this volume reset?

I tried it again, only this time I started Slacker.com first and then AOMRecord and it popped up a little window asking me to pick settings from another station I’ve used, I chose AOL and up it came running like a champ although I had to play with the Pause Recognition a little. Another thing I did is start Slacker in the real Internet Explorer, last time I was using the AOL browser. The problem with the volume control also went away. I’ll try it again later with the AOL browser and see if the volume control problem returns. Other than that, it seems to be working as well as it does with AOL Radio.

This is truly an elegant piece of software and I’ve been in the computer industry for over 35 years. Thanks.

I did as you said then started slacker.com, then I started AOMRecord, checked the recording levels and then told AOMRecord to start recording on the Next song but nothing ever happened. Also when I started AOMRecord my volume went very low and when I tried to raise the volume through the Windows volume control it would just reset to the previously level after I moved the slider up. I am using the version of AOMRecord you quoted in your posting.

What folder will be used to store the newly recorded songs? I did not see Slacker.com in the drop down list of stations you would start via AOMRecord so that’s why I started it separately. Also I noticed the MSIE.INI you sent was about 9K and the old one was about 11K, I don’t know if that means anything but thought I’d mention it.

I then renamed the new version of MSIE.INI and renamed the .old version to the original and started AOMRecord and now the same problem happens with the volume control, the volume goes very low on startup and if I try to raise the volume via the Windows slider it automatically resets itself to the low volume level. If I stop AOMRecord, the volume control returns to its normal capabilities.
