iTunes / Re: Internet radio

« on: November 09, 2011, 04:26:26 PM »

I don't use iTunes much, but I think you should be able to put a radio station into a playlist by itself and then request that playlist.  Let me know if it works and if not I'll try to figure something else out.

Yes, that works.  Thanks.

At the risk of going seriously off topic:  I'm actually not an iTunes user either.  I usually use WinAmp, but perhaps I should switch?
I use WMC for vids and TV because I record tv with a Hauppage PVR and then use xBox 360s as (cheapish) "extenders" to watch tv (and recordings) in different rooms.  But WMC is pretty crappy and its library gets corrupt all the time, so I use a different client tool for music in my den.  I picked WinAmp without much research, but it seems pretty good.  Do you think I should switch?  Any recommendations?

in theory it should adapt to your particular way of speaking when checked.  In other words, it is for training.

It is not a good idea to leave this on all the time since it could lead to problems if VC is picking up false commands and then trying to learn them.

In practice I'm not 100% sure that it actually ever stops learning.  Sometimes I think learning is always on even when I disable it in code, but it's hard for me to tell because VC understands me very well without any training.

According to Microsoft's speech api docs the code I am using to turn it off should work.

OK.  Thanks.

Hi,

Is there a way to start VC in VC.Standby mode rather than VC.On?  I tried adding it to EVENTS along with a True flag.

Thanks.

Thanks in advance.
