Re: MD: MZ-R50 remote
Most of the md stores one the net carry them in the "spare/misc" section. I know minidiscnow.com carries them, and I've seen them at a few other places. You'll probably have to buy the R55 remote which is the same as the r50. Usually they run around 45-60 bucks... good luck -Jeffrey On Fri, 29 Oct 1999, Eric Kang wrote: My remote just gotten crashed.

MD: Sharp 851?
has anyone heard anything about a new Sharp 851 model? Is this something coming out or am i confused? I was calling around the Chicago area to pick up a 831 with Kanji remote (832?) and didn't find much, but one salesman said he would be getting some "851's soon" If anyone has a good rec for a Chicago area Sharp 831 retailer let me know, i'd appreciate it! noah - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: TOC question
Hya Brain, snipage So, is there a problem when trying to record to an MD that was created with a different version of ATRAC? What could be the problem here? I don't want to have remember which disc was created on which machine when trying to edit or record. IIRC I remember hearing about a slight compatability between disc's recorded on the Sony and the Sharp. Discs recorded on the Sharp work on both, but the ones recorded on the Sony mostly only work on the Sony unit. It's nothing to do with ATRAC, all versions are compatible with each other. I think it's like the old floppy disc problem, heads being misaligned. But that's only me taking an educated guess. Don't know if there is a fix, Eric? (ie try looking on www.minidisc.org for more info ;). HTH, P. -- "We do not ask for money, only knowledge." -- Me.

Re: MD: 721 vs 722
Hya All, snipage But the main doubt i have is: can ring jog of 722 be more fragile than 721 controls. And, can it (the jog) make easier use of the unit, enough to make me pay 35 bucks more? I find the that jog dial on my 722 is a great help. Not only for titling, but for searching as well. For example... I do quite a bit of traveling, I sometimes record movies onto MiniDisc's in mono. (Hey it fills up traveling time, and as long as you have a good imagination your mind can do the visual ;). Say by accident I knock the next or last button I lose my place, putting the unit in pause and then finding the time again is way easier then using the next/prev. So with the jog you can jump straight to a track, you can even select it while the other is still playing. It's very handy. It's also speed related (or I think it is), ie the faster you move it, the quicker it goes through things. I personnel couldn't live with out the jog now, I mean titling is easier to. Thanx. Excuse me by my poor English. Hey, it's probably just as bad as mine, and it's my mother tongue. (Not wanting to start another OT thread, but...) Hey Gaz, another fine example of british education in the last 17 years ;).

MD: PC to MD interface projects
I was about to start building the MZ-R55 to PC parallel port interface as detailed on Bazza's page until the grown-up that I'd enlisted to do the actual work pointed out it was going to cost over 50 Pounds for the electronics components alone! (mainly the SPDT relays and transistors, 10 each). I've paused to consider other ways first... Now then, I've had a peek at Thomas Meier's "Title-Aid" for Sharp portables and he manages to build a similarly functioning PC interface for about 10 Dollars!! http://www.ncc-mannheim.net/user/meierth/MD70X.HTML Can anyone comment on if/how the Thomas Meier solution could be adapted for the Sony MZ-R55?

Re: MD: Warner Re-Enters MiniDisc Market
From: PrinceGaz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 30, 1999 11:36 AM Subject: Re: MD: Warner Re-Enters MiniDisc Market 1. How many CDs have you purchased in the last year Somewhere between 200 and 250. It's rare for me to come back home on a Friday without at least 3 or 4 CDs. 2. How many pre-recorded MDs have you purchased in the last year Three. 3. If the same album was available in both formats- which would you choose I'd choose CD. I often find I don't like every track on a CD album though, so I like to copy the bits I do like onto an MD to take around and listen to. I can also get a better copy when new versions of ATRAC are released. I also like CDs more because the artwork is bigger on a CD, although if I had my way you'd still be able to buy vinyl albums - the one thing I miss is the large format covers. Some of the ECM album covers were incredible - I have a few mounted on the wall. Enlarged CD covers don't look the same, and MD covers are way too small for me! 4. What proportion of your MD collection are pre-recorded discs Too small. 3 out of over 3000 discs. less than 0.1% If you were to ask how many of my MDs are of pre-recorded discs I already own on CD then you'd be looking at around 80%. Is it possible to have a survey here on md-l (or a related website)? If you want to use my website to run the poll I'll be glad to help. Chuck something through on the EMail to me - be as detailed or brief as you like, and we'll see what happens. I can collate the results and return them to you.

Re: MD: PC to MD interface projects
I've just finished building one for about £8 and I'm now to write a Windows9x driver for it. Here's a hint: don't waist money on relays when a 4067 chip can provide the signal driving you need! It can be powered from the parallel port and will drive 16 buttons from 4 data line inputs. All you do then is link various resistors up to the outputs so they contact across pins 2 and 4 of the remote. If you're really sneaky, you can read the data from pins 1 and 3 to get titles etc back into the PC too!

MD: Well, paint me green and call me Gumby
At 11:36 AM 10/30/99 +0100, you wrote: This is exactly the sort of thing that will ensure MD survives in the medium- long term. More major publishers deciding MD is a viable format for their music titles rather than the current "release it on CD and MC". Maybe. Certainly flies in the face of that fat lady singing on MD. But MC is hardly dead, and I can't see three formats being used for any more than the most popular of releases. And don't forget SACD, DTS CD and DVD-A are coming into their own now. Hm, how long before we see MP3 ROM memories? Thats the good news. Now I would if I could poll list members and ask them 1. How many CDs have you purchased in the last year 2. How many pre-recorded MDs have you purchased in the last year 3. If the same album was available in both formats- which would you choose 4. What proportion of your MD collection are pre-recorded discs Well, Gaz, I think you are gonna get a lot of similar answers. I've only been buying prerec MDs since 1999, CDs since 1995, prerec tapes since 1992. I have about 20 prerec tapes bought over three years (none since CD, whaddya know?) and about 250 CDs bought over four years. And guess what, in the past few months, I've only bought 2 prerec MDs. For most of my tapes, I have an equivalent CD (except the odd comedy and compilation album). And half of my prerec MD collection has an equivalent CD. The two MDs I bought I imported via CD NOW, because no-one locally sells prerec MD. Heck, only a handful of stores sell blank MD. As to why I got an MD of an album I already had on CD... Well, call me crazy. I could mumble something about the MD possibly being of better quality, because of it being a 1998 release, they could have used a 20-bit master (or better) and used some whizz bang ATRAC. But that wouldn't be the reason. It was clearly the novelty factor. Compression is compression, after all. These tape reminiscient cases are funny, man. So much packing for such a little media. (A medium smaller than tape gets a bigger case... WTF?) And would you believe, because the MD was pressed in Europe, it actually has more songs on it that the equivalent US CD. (Which doesn't bother me, because I've got the Australian version which pushes the 80 minute barrier. Actually, that's probably another reason why I got the MD- I'd have needed an 80 minute blank to dub my disc anyway, and in my neck of the woods, those things are pretty scarce.) Anyway, believe it or not, I am planning to buy more prerec MDs for the novelty factor. And one of those is a new release which I am also planning to get the CD for. Again, call me crazy. Would you believe my main reason is so that I can actually set up a shelf with these weird cases on? Two is just not enough to warrant building a shelf. Hm, do I have a point in confessing my mental illness? Probably not. I think what I am saying is that I am a rare breed, and most people will keep buying CDs even if they have MD. I can't think of anyone who would have an MD player and not a CD player, and that is the key. Sony woke up recently and realised that if MD was gonna crack it at all, it was going to crack it as a home recording format, not as a minature portable competitor to CD. And so it shall be. This Warner abberation is a flash in the pan. Heck, these are the guys that gave you Alanis Morissette. :-) (Apologies to AM fans. I dig some of her grooves, but I can't make it through a whole album.)
