LORisAwesome Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 HiI'm interested in trying Zara Radio. I did an internet search, and I am not familiar with any of the sites that I am seeing. I don't want to get a virus by installing softward downloaded from a bad web site...Anyone know a safe website to get it?ThanksJerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 With a good anti-virus program, ANY site should be a safe site.Having said that, and making no claims whatsoever as to the safety of the site, here's the horse's mouth:http://www.zarastudio.es/en/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORisAwesome Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 I tried CNET, but it doesn't seem to work.Actually downloaded it at one point, but I didn't try to run it. It seems to be one of those installers that then downloads the actual program from someplace. I was concerned that my anti-virus program might allow the installer, but miss what the installer does. Also I don't have an AV program on my show computer, and I don't want to install in on my main computer.I'll check the site you recommended.ThanksJerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Cherry Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) I would recommend a earlier version of Zara Radio, some of the newer versions may have some of the options you what disabled or you have to pay to add the option.Version 1.6.2 is recommended for our use.Here is the link: http://en.softonic.c...zararadio-1.6.2This was presented at the LSH Academy the last 2 years.Here is the Powerpoint presentation with a lot of very good information for our setup and use.https://dl.dropbox.c..._Radio_101.pptmhttps://dl.dropbox.c..._Radio_201.pptm Edited October 30, 2012 by Dennis Cherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORisAwesome Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Thanks all.I got the software installed. Found that it doesn't recognize my music. I loaded them years ago on another computer and they are on a NAS (Network Attached Storage) -- they are in Itunes format. Oh well, I'll have to re-load them with Windows Media Player. I decided to use the constant 128K bit rate, so they can be used with LOR.I tried putting them on the NAS with Windows Media player, then found they didn' t play correctly -- it had some stuttering, although WMP seemed to play it with no problems. So I've given up loading them on the NAS, and I've started loading them on the show computer where Zara Radio is installed. Zara Radio seems to play the music just fine as long it is on the computer, and not a network drive.My goal is to get all my Christmas Music loaded, and have Zara Radio play Christmas Music when the show is not running.Thanks for the help.

Guest wbottomley Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Just so you know... the mp3 recommendation is only for mp3 director cards. The show pc can be anything including a wav file which is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteve Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 ZaraRadio doesn't seem to control the line-in mute function.I have an incoming signal to line-in and I'm using line-out to drive my downstream system.I want zararadio to break into my incoming signal at intervals and play a wave file.The incoming signal to line-in just keeps rolling right on out to the line-out connection with the zararadio controls being ignored. Zararadio otherwise seems to be controlling things. Any suggestions?MOSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
