BakTrack Converts Audio Cassette to MP3 CD Without Any Software or Hardware

Astoria, NY (PRWEB) March 2, 2011

BakTrack, a division of Huemans Inc. launches an innovative technology solution for converting audio cassette tapes or vinyl records into digital mp3 CDs that does not require any hardware or software. BakTrack.com is a plug-n-play online utility that allows one to convert analog audio to mp3 CDs just by plugging a computer into a stereo system.

Announcing the launch of BakTrack.com, Mike Gallina, President of Huemans Inc. commented, ?BakTrack is the first of its kind, easy to use web app that allows you to convert your cassette tapes and your records to mp3 without having to do anything much more than plug your computer into your stereo and press play.?

All existing solutions in the market for converting analog audio to digital formats like mp3 require the usage of an additional hardware (popularly known as converter) or at least software for such conversion. BakTrack works on a completely new technology whose patent is pending, that allows a user to convert old audio tapes and records into digital CDs without the need of any hardware, not even software. Baktrack automatically separates the audio tracks after the digital conversion. There are very easy to use tools in BakTrack which allow one to cut and combine the mp3 tracks to prepare custom playlist.

?With BakTrack, you can convert your music without using any audio cables if your computer has a built in microphone but chances are you?re also going to end up recording background noise as well. We recommend using an audio cable so you can get a direct signal from your stereo or audio playing device,? Mike further explained.

The true plug-n-play features of BakTrack.com brings in the much awaited relief for the music lovers who have been challenged for the lack of an easy to use, quick solution for converting their old music treasures to mp3 CDs. BakTrack.com allows a user to start the tape or vinyl to CD conversion free of cost for the first five tracks. Once satisfied with its simplicity and quality, one can buy credits for very reasonable price to start his / her bulk conversions. BakTrack.com also sells an audio cable just for a dollar to ensure the quality of analog to digital audio conversion.

BakTrack is expecting huge response from the music professionals like DJs and artists and studios who are in the business of archiving old audio tapes and records, apart from the general music loving people.

MP3 Rocket Flies Past New Traffic Milestone Software Improvements Push Downloads Past 20,000 Per Day

Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) June 02, 2011

MP3 Rocket, a leader in YouTube downloading and conversion solutions, announced that new downloads of MP3 Rocket version 6.0.6 have exceeded 20,000 per day. The increase in users is tied to both mass exodus from the Gnutella network as well as the record number of files being made available from YouTube. This benchmark occurs as YouTube releases new data indicating over 3 billion daily views.

"Reaching 20,000 daily downloads is a terrific achievement for MP3 Rocket," said Paschal Rousseau, MP3 Rocket developer. "We listened to our user base and have been adding the most requested features including higher downloading bit rates, access to full length HD movies, and a popularity ranking system. As we continue to make improvements and advancements to the software we hope to see that number continue to rise."

Test the free basic version: http://download.cnet.com/MP3-Rocket-YouTube-Downloader/3000-2071_4-75337655.html

In early 2011 MP3 Rocket transitioned away from a P2P downloading client and moved exclusively to offering a YouTube downloader and file converting tool. The shift in direction has allowed MP3 Rocket to make improvements to the software, offer a more expansive media library, and has dramatically grown their user base.

MP3 Rocket innovations allows users to:

????Preview and download YouTube videos as MP3's.
????Easily sync to an iPod with a single click.
????Capture video from almost any internet stream or broadcast.
????Get more results faster for MP3 searches.
????Play games and chat with friends.

MP3 Rocket subscribers are able to search, download and convert media for use on their home computers and mobile devices. Utilizing the practice of "Time Shifting" MP3 Rocket makes media files available to download and view immediately, or at a more convenient time in the future.

"With the rise in mobile devices and on-the-go internet use its impractical to expect people to wait until they return to a television to enjoy media access," said Paschal Rousseau, MP3 Rocket developer. "MP3 Rocket lets subscribers use their computer the same way they do their TiVo. We are removing the time/location requirements from the equation. In a sense by enabling our user base to decide when and where they want to enjoy their media we are giving them freedom."

The practice of "Time Shifting" allows users to view and/or listen to a work or sound recording that is publicly broadcast at a time of their choosing. Using the same ruling that makes it legal to record television at home MP3 Rocket has made recording to your computer a viable option as well.

Don Johnston to Distribute EasyConverter Software with Read:OutLoud 6 eBook Reader through Partnership with Dolphin Computer Access (UK)

Volo, IL (PRWEB) June 29, 2011

Don Johnston Incorporated, a U.S. developer of assistive technologies for students with special needs announced today it will distribute EasyConverter by Dolphin Computer Access. EasyConverter enables educators to make required curriculum and instruction materials ?accessible? for students with disabilities.

"Getting accessible instructional materials (AIM) into the hands of more students is one of our foremost goals," said Kevin Johnston, Director of Development for Don Johnston, Incorporated. "Today, schools are plagued with materials that are not digital or are in proprietary formats and cannot easily be read with assistive technologies. Educators who choose the EasyConverter with Read:OutLoud 6 will make inaccessible materials a part of the past and can look to a future that provides students with disabilities more opportunities to study grade level curriculum."

U.S. K-12 schools are required to provide timely access to print materials in accessible formats for students with IEPs (Individual Education Plans) who are blind, visually impaired, have a physical disability such as cerebral palsy or a reading disability, such as dyslexia. This provision is a requirement of the 2004 IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) law.

EasyConverter will quickly convert eBook files and printed text to DAISY 3, MP3, Braille and large print by using ?step-by-step? wizards to simplify the conversion process. A new optical character recognition (OCR) engine improves the accuracy of scanning PDF and paper-based documents. With EasyConverter, educators can create accessible versions of paper or digital files, including these electronic and proprietary formats:

????Microsoft Word documents, rich text and PDFs
????Kurzweil project files
????EPUB files (open or unprotected files)
????DAISY XML and HTML
????Scanned paper documents
????Image files
????NIMAS (National Instructional Materials Accessible Standard) / Bookshare Files

"Don Johnston is the perfect partner for Dolphin and especially the EasyConverter," adds Charlie Hamilton, Dolphin?s V.P. of Sales for North America. "We share a similar vision; accessible materials for every student, irrespective of their disability. The company?s extensive experience in special education coupled with the well-known Read:OutLoud accessible technology makes our vision for true access a real possibility."

EasyConverter comes with a single computer license to Read:OutLoud 6, an eBook reader with an accessible web browser to preview DAISY 3 outputs. Read:OutLoud 6 includes embedded reading comprehension templates based on strategies from the National Reading Panel and Reading Next Report. Students will also enjoy various homework study tools including highlighters, a talking dictionary, a bibliography tool and an outline sidebar to collect facts and organize information.

EasyConverter is priced at $ 1400 for a single copy, including the Read:OutLoud software. Call 800-999-4660 or request a quote online to get discounts on multiple copies. Learn more about EasyConverter and Read:OutLoud 6.

Speaking to the mediamen, Mr. Vijay Kulkarni, CEO of the company said, ?GL's PacketScan? is a real-time IP and VoIP analyzer that non-intrusively analyzes and captures live IP traffic, and segregates them into SIP / H323 / Megaco / MGCP calls. It also collects statistics, CDRs, detailed protocol traces, ladder diagrams, and a host of other useful information about VoIP calls?. He added, ?Applications include monitoring of IP phones, Gateways, IP Routers, Switches, and Proxies. Its real-time nature makes it an outstanding tool for live monitoring of VoIP traffic as well as long-term traffic statistics gathering?.

Mr.Kulkarni, further added, ?PacketScan? can also monitor, report, analyze, and capture calls for infinite time, limited only by the finite space of your hard disk or network hard drive!?.

Summary of the New Features

?Performance

PacketScan? breaks ground with high density performance. It can now handle up to 1300 simultaneous calls with bi-directional RTP traffic.

?MEGACO Calls Summary

MEGACO is a media gateway control protocol, which is used between Media Gateway and Media Gateway Controller (Call Agent). Megaco/H.248 uses a series of commands to manipulate terminations and contexts using events, signals and other descriptors. PacketScan? has been enhanced to provide a summary of MEGACO calls. Calls are classified as active, completed, or failed.

Summary of each call contains signaling information such as Physical Termination, Ephemeral Termination, Context ID, Call Start Time, Call Duration and information about media sessions associated with it. Media sessions provide detailed information such as codec used, MoS and R-Factor scores, jitter, delay, total number of packets received, missing, duplicate and out of order packets counts and percentage.

?Call Graph

Ladder diagrams display protocol message sequences. They also display the decoded information of the selected message as shown in the above diagram.

?MEGACO Statistics

MEGACO Statistics provides all possible statistics about MEGACO calls in the network such as total, active, completed and failed calls. It also provides the total number of MEGACO Add, Modify, Subtract, AuditValue, and Audit Capability message counters. These counters are updated in real time.

?Registration Summary

In PDA Summary View the user can see a detail summary for all registration request (SIP) attempts. Each registration summary contains information such as User Agent being registered, Registrar Address, current status of the registration, registered time, registered duration, expiry time and remaining time. The below diagram provides the details of registration summary.

?Registration Graph

Displays ladder diagram for the selected registration attempt. It also displays the decoded information for the selected SIP message on the ladder diagram as shown in the above diagram.

?Registration Statistics

The registration information includes counters for total, active, completed and failed registration attempts. And also counters for total registration and de-registration frames.

?Active Registration Graph

This graph displays the total number of active registrations over a period of time.

?Triggers and Actions

In Triggers and Actions, there is addition to the list of call parameters to add more feasibility to filter the calls. Some of them are: Session Request Delay, Session Disconnect Delay, SIP Error Codes and more.

Other Features Include:

?Monitor progress of up to 1300 simultaneous calls with bidirectional RTP traffic

?Supported protocols - SIP (SIP Session Initiation Protocol RFC 2543 and RFC 3261), Megaco RFC 3525, Megaco RFC 3015, MGCP, H323/H225, and RTP

?Supports decoding of MAC, IP, SIP, UDP, TCP, RTP, RTCP, T.38 (Fax over IP), and SMPP

?Call capturing based on call agents or triggered actions such as MOS, R-factor, jitter, packet loss, duplicate packets, or called / calling numbers (SIP/H323)

?Full RTP Analysis with audio capture/playback supported for all common codecs
