Hi Mark, You write: >I have just purchased a Sony notebook computer and would like to hook >my Sony MZ R55 Mini Disc Recorder directly to the computer. >Can this be done? If so what parts will be needed. For portables, the only attachment is via the laptop's audio output (i.e. headphone) jack. If you have a Sony home deck with Control-A1 connector, Sony makes a serial port to Sony Control-A1 adaptor that will allow you to title and edit from the PC. >In addition, can the Mini Disc Recorder be used to record Data (like >an extra Drive). No, sorry, the MZ-R55 is for audio data only. The MD's audio compression will destroy computer data. >Also, is there a sight where I can download music in the MD format. No, sorry, the MD's ATRAC coding is not an open format. There are no places that trade or post music in the format. >Thanks for your help. You're welcome. I'm responding also to the MD mailing list, in case others are interested.
