A friend gave me a CD that looks like a data CD. When I mount it there are a collection of WMA files on it. I can list the files, and see their sizes. But, when I try to copy the files onto my hard drive then I get only zero length copies. Using dd I get this error message: Input/output error 0+0 records in 0+0 records out Has anyone seen this? How can I listen to those WMA files? Thanks.... -- Kevin

Merry Xmas

by alex stone

To the team at LAU, and all the devs and colleagues i've had the privilege to communicate with, and learn from, in this, my first full year of linux use, i'd like to say thanks for the help and encouragement, and i wish you all the very best for the festive season and the year to come. A particular thanks to Dave Phillips who encouraged me to start the linux journey in the first place. (That's right, it's his fault...) Cheers and good health to you all! Alex Stone. p.s. Patrick, i haven't forgotten the quick toots bit, i've been very busy. I'll get to it as soon as i'm able. As is said here in Russia, for this time of year: Snovum Godum! (Happy new year.)

Korg M50 anyone hooked this up to linux?

by gsking1＠gmail.com

Hello, I'm considering buying the Korg M50 (and to a lesser extent the Yamaha MO8). Anyone hook these up to linux via the built in USB. Good / Bad or any other issues? It also has normal midi in/out which I could use if needed. I really don't do much computer midi, but want to keep my options open. I assume I might have problems if I try to run the Editor/Librarian (windows/mac) software under wine, and am not really concerned with that. I am looking for basic midi music recording and playback from linux (rosegarden, qtractor, etc.). Thanks in advance, Geoff

which USB card with optical out?

by Gregory Chang

m crazy about clean 2 channel sound output to my high-end Pioneer setup (yes, it is possible..., IMHO). Under XP I was able to get it with foobar software playing my flac files. I used TUrtleBeach Micro Advantage USB sound card with optical output which gave a desired clean sound. Now I have completely migrated to Linux (LinuxMint distro) format, but the TBMA has no linux driver and sound has a annoying clicking sound (like playing old LP). Can any gurus recommend a USB card solution (<$100 if possible) with optical output for the Linux format? I have old Chaintech AV710 sound card with optical output that I may try if someone can verify it will work also. thanks in advance, Merry X-mas. gychang UCI Medical Center Irvine, CA -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Email service worth paying for.

Re: [LAU] which USB card with optical out?

by Justin Smith

Most USB 1.0 cards are class compliant devices. All class compliant devices work under linux. If it does not need a special driver for windows or macos, it is class compliant, and will work in linux.

Hi Robin thanks for your help Robin Gareus a écrit : > yes we know; that's why I added swscaler support almost a year ago. > Alas, I did not have the time to add proper detection of it and there > has not been a release since. > > it looks like you're just missing > `apt-get install libswscale-dev` Ok i did it, it was not installed. I still have the same problem. Like you asked in your previous message i dont have this line #define HAVE_SWSCALE" into config.h so it failed. > > Tell me if you encouter more problems.

qtractor GUI problem

by Grammostola Rosea

Hi, Latest version Qtractor on Debian testing, kde4 from experimental... After dragging a bit with the files-browser, I can't make it smaller anymore. It now takes almost my whole screen and the main track edit/view area is very small. I can't get it back.... Restart doesn't solve it.. Regards,
