Coming up on Main Menu and Main Menu Live for the week of February 14th, 2007 - it's radio time baby!

This week we bring you a majority of content related to all things radio.

In the first pre-recorded hour of Main Menu we here from Steve Bauer all about a HD radio from Radio Shack. Next we hear from Darrell Shandrow all about a Talking Timer. To complete the first hour we bring you the first part of a presentation from Sky Taylor all about tIRC (MIRC with special scripts that interface with JAWS, Window-Eyes, Eloquence and other speech technologies).

During the second hour we come on live with Darrell Shandrow (a co-producer for Main Menu Live) and Bill Dettering from Applian, the makers of Replay-AV, Replay-Converter, Replay-Music and more. Think of Replay-AV as TiVo for audio. We will talk with Bill all about the new features found in
Replay-AV version 8.0 and the very inexpensive Replay-Converter product as well. One of the features of Replay-AV is the supporting of TV tuner cards. We will ask Bill to describe that interface to us.

During the second hour we will also hear from Jamie Pauls from Access Watch all about American Printing House's Money Talks product.

The most important part of the second hour is you, the listener and contributor. The phone lines will be open for you to call in and chat with our guest on all of Applian's products. Get your questions ready!

If you have any questions for any of our guests this week, then please get them to us. They can be mailed to mainmenu@acbradio.org. If you would prefer to call into the show and ask your question then simply call 866-400-5333 when the show starts. We will have open lines during the second hour of the show.

On next weeks show (February 21st) we will cover all things Olympus DS-50. Neal Ewers, Don Barrett and Randy Knapp join the Main Menu production team on Main Menu Live to talk all things digital from digital voice recorders to keyboards. Get your questions ready as everyone on that show has an Olympus DS-50 or access to one and we can answer all of your questions.

Main Menu Live can be heard on Tuesday evening at 8:00 Eastern, 5:00 Pacific, and at 1 universal on Wednesday morning on the ACB Radio Main Stream channel. Don't forget that this will be a 2 hour show. To listen to the show, just click this link
