MD: Sony MDLP Walkmans and shuffle play
Hi everyone! Does anyone know whether the Sony MDLP-capable MD Walkmans can support "segue-shuffle" where, if a MiniDisc (usually a home-brew personal-favourites compilation MD) is edited with no silence gap between tracks, the next track starts coming through as soon as the current one ends when the machine is in shuffle-play? This is a feature that I enjoy a lot with my MD Walkman when I am playing my compliation MDs.

MD: transfer to/from PC...
I have seen many in the Discussion Board regarding cliks, pops, buzzes, etc. when transfering PC audio to/from MD. I've experienced periodic problems myself. The problem stems from the fact that Windows has a very difficult time playing/recording audio without interruption. One (or more) of the MD manufacturers need to realize that current MD hardware exploits this Windows weakness, rather than exploiting the MD strength that MD recorders can easily handle that interruptiong caused by Windows *if* there was some sort of flow control with the transfer. Flow control implies two-way communication, so S/PDIF is the wrong transfer standard, since it is one-way and does not contemplate how flow control might be implemented. A deck with native USB (not an add-on USB to S/PDIF converter) colud fill the bill. Sony's MDH-10 did it with SCSI, though the problems are limited SCSI availability and the MDH-10 needed to be modified to allow SCSI access to audio disks. The first manufacturer to offer a *good* computer interface will provide the answer for which many have been serarching for the last couple years...

I wonder what it will take before they learn?] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If it doesn't have any fancy DSP on it, then it will probably do bit for bit transfers. But that's pure speculation on my part. I have found no drawbacks to the Nightingale. I only use it for recording to/from DAT or Minidisc, and it just works. Plain and simple. What more could you want from it? Yeah, toss the SBLive. Its onboard DSP makes it unsuitable for exact digital transfers. And the fact that you can't bypass the DSP. -steve - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
