I wish there was a way or in a future update we would be able to listen to .aac files. I am finding more and more stations switching from mp3 to this.

Interesting, have you tried a different router? -----Original Message----- From: Jamie Cuthbertson Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2012 5:03 AM To: 'Plextalk User Discussion List' Subject: Re: [Plextalk] wi-fi problem with Plextalk Pocket Hi Russ, Glad you got it sorted but it's certainly strange that one method works and the other one doesn't.

Interesting, I wonder why that is? -----Original Message----- From: Jamie Cuthbertson Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 8:16 AM To: 'Plextalk User Discussion List' Subject: Re: [Plextalk] wi-fi problem with Plextalk Pocket Hi Russ, No, but the problem has only existed since I got a new one. The old one had to be changed as it didn't have good security on it. The new one does but hasn't yet let me connect. Hey ho, it's low on my current priority list but I'll maybe get round to playing with the settings over Christmas.

Hello Pele. I forgot to mention that, in addition to setting the system to line-in, you are well advised to set the recording mode to radio. PETER

Re: [Plextalk] Recording from Hi-Fi

Hello Pele. I do this all the time. Recording from hi-fi, television, or anything else which takes my fancy. I now use my PTP in preference to mini-disc, except in certain circumstances. Sometimes I record direct from my amplifier's headphone socket, other times I take the signal from the tuner direct, or the Freeview box direct. I alter the bit-rate, depending on whether the programme is in mono or stereo to start with, and I always use the manual record level, monitoring it before the programme starts, making sure that I am being given the indication that the signal strength is either good or high, and I usually make sure that it is the highest level it can be, whilst still saying the word good. Because the recordings are in effect, analogue, they are not as good as mini-disc, but for most programmes the results are very acceptable. PETER

Recording from Hi-Fi
by Pele West 25 Nov '12

25 Nov '12

Hi Everyone I know this may sound strange, but does anyone have experience of recording on the Plextalk Pocket? I am trying to record the soundtrack of a TV programme and I think the best way is to plug the Plextalk Pocket into the hi-fi amplifier and record from there (the TV is linked to the hi-fi). So far playing with the settings I have had some rather unsatisfactory results. So I would be interested to know if anyone has tried this. Thanks Pele West
