The mercata.com site lists this: "Sharp Portable MiniDisc
Player/Recorder w/MP3 Adapter and Software, MDMT15VQ," and goes on to say it
features the ability to record/play mp3's, saying:
"The advanced technology that allows this is the Voquette NetLink
adapter and Media Manager software. Just connect the adapter between the
MiniDisc player/recorder and your computer, then use the Media Manager
software to manually or automatically record music, information and news
from your computer to your MiniDiscs"
I already have written Mercata to complain that in a world of at least
two major computer platforms, you CAN'T just say "your computer" and have it
mean anything. Does someone on the list know if the Voquette link and the
Media Manager software is PC-only?
Also, the Sharp Electronics web site listing for this device says
nothing at all about Voquette link, Media Manager or mp3s. Does anyone know
if this is a bundle that Sharp is offering, or is this likely some sort of
special Mercata bundle?
Lastly, as regards a unit such as this, isn't the concept of "recording"
mp3's a little misleading? To me that would suggest that a signal could be
sent into the device (digital or analog) and that the device would
convert/record it to become an mp3. What I suspect is the case is that the
device can "store" (not record, literally) an mp3 file and play it back. Am
I being picky? And even if so, am I correct?
Thanks much,
