If you are asking about a wire used to feed power from a battery pack to a small battery-powered device or to connect an amplifier or other music device to a loudspeaker or headphones, the raised stripe, line or rib going all along the wire could signify either the positive or the negative wire. Measuring it with a suitable electrician's meter is a good way to tell for sure what it is. However you really need to know how to use an electrician's meter safely before you try to do this. On a 2 wire appliance cord the neutral is usually identified by a white stripe or a raised rib that runs the full length of the cord. This cord terminates at the wide blade on the plug. If the receptacle does not have a wide blade slot on it make sure that the identified side of the cord plugs into the left hand side of the receptacle. <><><> On the AC power cord if it has a white stripe it must be ground/neutral. I have a TV apart here and the "other" power wire is black and goes to a fuse inside the TV. They wouldn't put the fuse on the ground side. On the other hand if it's some other voltage they could put a stripe on any old wire. <><><> As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
