Anyone know of any good internet radio stations or
sites that play random music videos?  I am getting sick of my own radio stations and am looking for a couple of new ones to listen to while I work. Top 40 or 70's through today.
i forwarded it to our local tv stations in my area. nm
;
He is on talk radio in the morning and has a TV show on CNN SM
He is funny. His show is sociopolitical. He appeals to all political parties.
I agree, they just played it on our local radio here. Also, General Honore..sm
I heard him being interviewed by CNN today and boy is he The Man In Charge. The authority of this man outstanding, he got the troops, the supplies, the convoys in there. Finally we're getting somewhere. I thikn he's going to be the "Rudy" of this tragedy.
Outrageous. I just forwarded to a local radio station in my area. Who else can we send this to?

I like my national (PT) but my local is the best.

With my local I know exactly what I'm in for and how long it's going to take me.  With my national, I can work hard at it and do the extra or just meet the requirement.


My local has picked up a ton of accounts so I may be able to find a national that doesn't have a "schedule requirement," i.e. 3 hours 4 days a week and one weekend day.


With my local, I can say, "Hey kids, not much work, let's go get ice cream?"  They like that, but they hate "Mom's gotta burn the midnight oil."


It's a trade off. I'm not complaining.  I burned my nylons in the fireplace last October and I don't miss them! 


Local radio station is giving away American Idol concer tickets. sm
They're running a contest for 2 free tickets. With the entry, you have to list what you would be willing to do in exchange for these tickets. The best/most original idea will win the tickets. Any suggestions? It has to be something the person would really be willing to do. I really want these tickets!! 
I just emailed Glenn Beck. Also sent to local radio station and CBS news. Now sending to my senato
nm
Call local dentists and see if you could talk (see inside)
with their hygienists. Maybe you could drop by at lunch time or something and they'd be willing to talk to you, or maybe you could arrange to chat by phone when they are not working.
So do you think gas stations should discount gas for us pumping our own gas?
I'd rather scan and bag items I am purchasing, folding them the way I want to and separating them then pump gas out in the cold with the smell of gasoline on my hands.

A small national is a national company that is smaller
than a big national.  There are a few "big" nationals, where they have hundreds, if not thousands of employees.   I work for what I call a small national, only has about 30 employees.    An MTSO could also be considered a small national. 
Question about DAC digital work stations.

I have a DAC digital workstation and I dial into a DVI system to transcribe.  I have horrible static whenever I transcribe.  The phone line is clear as a bell when I talk on the line, but when I am using my digital station, it is horrible.  I have tried two different DAC models and have the same problems with both.


Any suggestions?


I've seen it advertised on three different stations and I'm so confused! Probably rerurns tho

ECS in San Diego rents VDI stations programmed to act as C-phones
They give you the rental monies paid towards purchase of a C-pone also.
Buy local. The local stores pay taxes to support your city and state. (SM)
Using online and catalogues does nothing to promote the local economy.  We complain about outsourcing and about the big companies gobbling up all the work so the jobs at local hospitals are gone, yet we do the same thing when we buy on ebay, catalog, and these web sites that may be located any place in the world as their primary business location. 
I went from national to small back to national
My large national has all the resources and money to operate successfully and have decent platform, etc., to work on, the small company did not, and I went back to the national.
I went local. Great local tech support, they know what I do and were able to set it up just for me
:)
Eewwww... you don't talk like an MT, you talk like mangement. Ick. (n/m)
:p
radio
My treadmill is still buried, but it is also a resolution of mine. :)

Ask hubby if he will wear a headset. Unlikely, I know. I wouldn't want to. Does his radio have an antennae? or is it hooked into cable. Ours, once hooked into cable, got way less static. Best of luck!!
Sorry should have said he was on radio
here and every now and then has a television special. Great guy!
Why? No different than a radio or any other

Radio Shack
I have 3 pedals hooked up and needed another serial port. Radio Shack has the adapter you plug into your USB for about 20.00. Worked like a charm. The only tricky part is finding the right port listed in the program you are using.
Listen to him on radio
I sometimes listen to him while doing my late afternoon pick-up and deliveries on the radio.  I have also found out that a lot of time giving praise and appreciation to them when they do the job -- even though it is not to our satisfaction or as well as we can --gives them incentive to do more.  We don't like to be cut down all the time and have to re-do and so even though it may not be up to my standards I try to let the kids know that I appreciate it -- unless of course they have done a poor job on purpose -- another subject. 
Radio Shack

They sell a very inexpensive adapter for serial and/or game port to USB.  Mine works fine with Dictaphone EXText, eScription EditScript, etc.  I think I paid $10 for it at a local store.


You can search radio shack online and see if your local store has them in stock or can get them.    many many new computers are going to exclusively USB ports, no more serial or parallel


radio shack has it all.

Might try Radio Shack. n,
.
I got one at Radio Shack
I told them what I wanted. It was a little plug-in and to switch from one computer to the other, I just hit ScrLk 2 times. Super easy to hook up and super cheap too!
try radio shack..

 


Try radio shack...for the past 4 or 5 days have been having very poor quality voice out of the blue - couldn't figure if it was my computer or phone lines or the client - but for 19.95 from R Shack I have ordered a head set that covers over background noise and also has a low/hi volume control, which I think I will really like...will let you know how it is when I get it if you are still having problems...the radio shack guy said he had 3 orders before mine...so maybe the MT world was aware they were on sale...Good Luck!


Did you try Radio Shack????
They have those adapters and they're cheap. They have all KINDS of adapters. Also replacement foams of various types.
sirrius radio help

My husband has it in his car and I would like to listen at home, called customer service and the person had a limited knowledge of English so I had trouble understanding her. (Went to their website). Do I need an antenna and special radio or what?  It sounds like the price is inclusive once I get the equipment for the home radio.  Thanks


Yep, they dictate in noisy nursing stations, dictate in the ER, dictate in the OR when they are
cleaning up banging around and we are supposed to hear them. So much for HIPPA.
I listen to Dr. Joy Brown sometimes on the radio

e-mail her or call her and see what she says. She gives pretty good advice and is FREE!!


If you can be positive about this relationship, you can be positive about yourself and meeting someone else. Remember, your gut feeling is what's right, and I think I know what your gut is telling you or you wouldn't be posting this in the first place, you just need someone to back you up. Don't waste any more time. & don't talk about THE REST OF YOUR LIFE -- you have choices you can make in this too as much as he has the choice to do/not do something -- it's just that you have the choice to stay in this stagnent pool of muck or get out, clean yourself off and never return to the dirty pool. Who knows what the future holds for you, but if you stay with him it will just be this same cycle over and over again, unfortunately. I say cut your losses now.

On Hannity on radio just now - weatherman said will be 4/maybe 5 and hit

That was what was on Hannity's radio show at 3:00 p.m. central time when he was interviewing a weatherman who has been in the business since 1978 and whose dad graduted in 1965 from Texas A&M in weather - so he has sure studied weather a long time (he says since he was 5 yo).


Something to think about.


i have found that radio shack has

several adapters to choose from to convert to a USB port.  with each newer version of computers they seem to be cutting out the older types of ports (like used for older foot pedals/game ports, etc) and using "s" connections, usb, etc.  the computer that I have from 1995 has different ports than the tower I bought last summer and my laptop that I bought last summer so I have to use an adapter and everything is fine.


radio shack; have bought several there nm

You might try a filter that you can get from Radio Shack.
It is probably just interference from something in your neighborhood, perhaps a ham operator or something like that?
We love our Bose radio too
We also just hooked up an external CD player to our Bose radio and you get the Bose sound quality that way. They are a great sound in a tiny pkg.!
Radio Shack in Portland, OR has them -- nm
 Found them there
Radio Shack headphones
Yes, several people are recommending those Radio Shack Koss headphones (I am getting some emails too). It looks like those might be the ones to try!
When I was on-site I listened to the radio
not loud though, but there were so many other distractions.  Now that I am at home, I enjoy the peace and quiet.  We do not live on a busy street, so it is a nice change of pace for me.  
Radio Shack carries them. nm

I use DVI too and got an adapter at Radio Shack
for about 17.00.  You can check in-store stock on-line to see if a local store may have one. 
Radio Shack has lots of different ones. nm

There are Sony ones at Radio Shack sm
that were suggested to me so I bought a pair.  They are silver and look sort of like Spock ears when you have them on.  I think they come with a year warranty or maybe I bought that for a few cents, can't remember now.   I really like those.
Got mine at Radio Shack
I have bought them from Office Depot many times as well. My recent ones came from Radio Shack and are Presidian noise cancelling headphones. I love them.
Background (radio), but I would love to know
if you can have it on your computer, headset, while working. I do not know how to do that, but it would be great to have classical in the background of the dictators!
See my post above about Pandora Radio - sm
I listen to it through my headphones in the background of my dictation.

The volume can be adjusted separately from your dictation and you can pause it if you need to.

I can't even begin to tell you all the choices they have for music. Classical, rock, punk, techno, new age, everything you could possibly imagine... Even Christmas music.
Love my satellite radio
I got my husband one for Christmas two years ago. We actually got the plan for life so we paid, I think $400 or so, and we'll never have to pay for it again. I also have it in my car (it came with it for free for one year). It has so many great stations, something for everyone. I highly recommend it.
The only radio station that plays the music you like is an
