I've been pondering the best way to back up the audio files on my computer. MD is somewhat cumbersome, as I have to play/record the files manually at 1X. Not to mention the generational loss of ATRAC. I'm hesitant to back up to audio CD because of the synchronization problems often encountered when reading audio CD's. So maybe backing up the WAV files to a data CDR is best. I noticed that Sony's CD Extreme program puts *full* pathnames in its "job" files, so if I back up the job file (that it used for creating an audio CD from the WAV files) to the data CD along with the WAV files, I will have to restore them to the hard drive before creating another audio CD. Also, I don't immediately see a way to "automatically" create an MD from the WAV files, either the backup CDR or if I restore them to the HD. All of this points to what I said in my earlier post: Sony needs to better integreate their software. With both the MDS-PC2 MD recorder and CDX100E/X2 CD recorder on the same system, I could accomplish some awsome things with the right software ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
