I have tried to install the MyCRA mobile web app to securely access my tax information. I enabled "Unknown Sources" by tapping Settings, "Biometrics and security", "Install Unknown Apps", Chrome. I toggled the "Allow from this source" to "On" 00:46:46 Alan German: I ran Google Chrome and navigated to the following website: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/cra-mobile-apps.html 00:46:54 Alan German: I see a blue horizontal line flashing at the top of the screen. Its length gets longer and then shorter with each flash. There is a message "Loading ... " Directly below the line. 00:47:08 Alan German: Can you suggest what else I need to do to get the app to load? Has anyone else been able to install and run this app on their android smartphone? Is the app available on Google Play? However I would rather install it from the CRA website because of the critical financial risks of installing a malicious app. 00:47:16 Alan German: Note that this is the only app that I have or intend to install from an unknown source - which in this case is CRA which I trust. 00:49:10 Alan German: (The essence of) Another question that just arrived in Suggestion Box: Can anyone explain how a DP-to-HDMI passive cable (without a converter chip) can possibly work, ie convert DP protocol to HDMI protocol? 00:49:24 Chris Taylor: I am very surprised that CRA would require that you allow installation of Android apps from sources other than the Play Store! I do not recommend people enable installation of apps from anywhere other than the Play Store! 00:50:05 Tom Trottier: MP3s are reduced quality - stuff human ears can not discern are eliminated. You can set the bits per second & max frequencies in most rippers. 00:51:21 Tom Trottier: Lossless compressed audio: https://hiphopmakers.com/what-is-lossless-audio 00:52:47 Tom Trottier: I rip audiobooks using VBR & 8khz and they are about 17 kbps - taking less room. 00:53:41 Tom Trottier: & mono for audiobooks! :) 00:54:19 Tom Trottier: Many cars can play MP3s on a CD 00:55:04 Tom Trottier: MP3s take about 1/10 the space compared to an audio CD 00:55:53 Alan German: Many cars can play MP3s on a USB 00:56:27 Bill: I use Star Music Editor on Android to work with music tags. You can get it in play store. 00:56:59 Tom Trottier: MP3tag is great for managing tags 00:58:18 Tom Trottier: I use Foobar2000 to rip - it does get some info for music CDs from MusicBrainz & FreeDB 00:59:02 Tom Trottier: Both MP3tag & Foobar2000 are free programs 01:00:35 Stew Bruce: The Galaxy A50 is at the end of it;s support life cycle. I would not be installing new apps on one and rather be removing apps with sensitive ifo if not upgrading to a new device. 01:01:49 Bob Gowan: I've been using an old version of a German product, AudioGrabber, which connects to FreeDB. Very fast ripping. 01:02:21 Tom Trottier: www.nch.com.au/golden 01:02:37 micheline: Can Golden Records convert vinyl/cassette to MP3? 01:03:26 Timothy: I need a good needle for my player. 01:04:27 Tom Trottier: https://www.whathifi.com/us/best-buys/accessories/best-cartridges - for phono needle 01:04:45 Chris Taylor: @Timothy - my brother (an audiophile) would say "STYLUS … PLEASE!
