RE: MD: Transferring MD to CD
I think the key may be that I always cut my live recordings in the applause between songs, so even if there was some noise, it would not be noticeable. Either that, or Sound Forge or Adaptec's Easy CD Creator is handling it. Whatever the reason is, it is not noticeable at all, either as a distortion or difference in the way the applause sounds. -- Martin - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Tilting on Mz-r90
From: "Kevin Williams" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any way to get a ps/2 keyboard or something inside of this so its easier = to tilt. Takes about 10-15min very annoying. I will pay about $30-50 for = a little gadget to do this! Please any info! Even though it has a = semi-jogdial still would be a hell of a lot easier with a keyboard. = Thanks. -Kevin Hi Kevin, Odd question that one... I can't help but wonder why you wish to tilt the unit as it should work satisfactorily at any angle, it is a portable after all. I wouldn't recommend placing anything other the MDs and suitable batteries inside your unit, and theres absolutely no way you'll be able to get a standard ps/2 keyboard inside it.

MD: Dixons and the MD702
Well you lot most probibly don't care too much about all the hassle I had with my Sharp unit, but I thought it best to warn you lot about our old friends Dixons, especially seeing as it is xmas and all! Recap: Bought a MD702 18 months ago for 299.99 UKPounds, it went wrong outside the guarantee, but _was_ covered by MasterCare. Took it back to be repaired (UTOC error) 4 times. Hit the roof after the 4th, contacted the MD of Dixons, no messing about any more! Took it back in to be written off for good this time. They said that I would have to wait 10 days after it had been received by them to get my money back. I waited... and waited then after just over two weeks emailed them to find out what was going wrong. They said that they were waiting for it to be written off. Spat my dummy out, they said that the vouchers will be in the post the next day. Got the v(ouch)er last night for ... £200, they said that that is all it was worth now. Funnily enough, I hit the roof again, and when I came too, rubbed my head, and emailed the Manager of the Customer Services, who was "dealing" with the case. They contacted me again and said that they would fax the details to the store that I was going to. I don't know what you lot think, but I don't think that it is fair that they should offer one price when I payed a lot more initially. Typical 'insurance' companies, always your friend until you need them... I wonder if Sharp would like to hear about this... So todays lesson kiddies, purchase a nice dummy and attatch it to yourself via some string and a saftey-pin. This way when ever you spit the thing out, it remains clean and you don't have to spend too much time hunting around the floor looking for it!

Hey Ray, From your brief description, this seems like a fairly straightforward piece of software. Since I don t see myself as a software expert it s not for me the judge how straightforward is the VMM software. Presumably the md does not store the MP3 in its compressed form, but each track will take the same space as on a cd - i.e. still only 74 minutes of sound, but of the poorer MP3 audio quality. Since they record the sound card output, It s obvious that they not record MP3 in MP3 format, but they MD records it in ATRAC (as audio MD usually do : -) , so mathematically there is degradation due to the additional ATRAC compression. However I have good sound card and to my ear, the recorded music quality satisfies me (yes it bothered me that it s not pure digital recording - However it was surprisingly more than OK). Re 74min: Yes, I can record 74 minutes (as with CD), but I pay for it $2/74min rather than $100/60min for my Rio s Flash card. Which sites do Voquette use? I check their software with their site Voquette.com - they feature music from mp3.com and other sites (re legal: it s their biz) as well as streaming audio. I also checked it with other sites - most of them it worked OK, however I found some sites that I had some problems with. (But the software did not stuck there, it just skipped it. I sent them email: I will update you on this). So I was not logged all night due to tracks that were not downloaded. Go!Zilla and windows scheduled task manager I used this and other programs and enjoyed them - I find the VMM much easier to use and it also supports streaming audio (not only files transfers). Personally I use it mainly for daily recordings of Cnet Radio programs. (I DD the RealAudio hyperlink of their daily program into the VMM and scheduled it to be recorded onto the MD every day at 6:00AM, so by the time I wake up I get my MD with my daily technical briefings - for me it s a Killer App. I also tried their e-mail recordings, the audio quality is more than OK, however the fact that I could not reply instantaneously to the email, made not use it for this application) I believe I've seen your email before I believe you did, but usually I am a passive reader.

RE: MD: MO technology and MD data usage
I would question your first point... ;) Agree that write speed would be less than read speed; however if you consider that a MD recorder can accept a streaming digital input of CD quality audio (via the optical in), encode it with ATRAC, AND write it to the disk, all in real-time - then i think you'll find the bandwidth of the system quite sufficient for removable media purposes on a PC. Plus the benefit of the disks not being as easily affected (as floppies) by magnetic fieldsit all adds up... In any case it would be vastly better than floppy drive technology which should have been obseleted years ago... IMO anyways ;) L8r, mark... -Original Message- Subject: Re: MD: MO technology and MD data usage snip The write speed is probably the biggest problem (ie I would think the read speed would be less of a factor) - there is a finite time taken to heat the metallic substrate to it's Curie Point and also a finite time from that point for the write magnetic head to align the substrate. The factors governing the time taken for these events are probably related to laser power output and disc groove/spot size. The groove and spot size is fixed by the MD format and laser power output is probably limited by cost and physical size in relation to fitting it in a portable recorder. snip - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MD: Optical leads, partial solution
Does anyone have a web or email address where I can buy a couple of 2M (or 3M) Toslink to Toslink optical leads? I can supply Toslink-Toslink optical leads! Prices are as follows: [snip] My need for optical leads follows this weeks (hesitant) purchase of a SBLive!Platinum combo with it's Live!DriveII box of sockets. It came with a 2M Toslink to 3.5mm lead (which I already had, a shorter one came with the MZ-R55) but I needed a Toslink-Toslink lead to connect my MDS-JE520 deck to the computer. That way I can record radio from my tuner to hard disk via the mixer and MD deck. I noticed that if I simply poked the 3.5 end of the optical cable at the Toslink socket the sound burst through loud and clear. Since this was indeed a spare lead I tackled it with some fine sandpaper until the leading edge of the plug was thin enough to poke into the Toslink socket and stay there unaided. A result!! OK, I need another lead so that I have bi-directional capability between deck and pc but I've saved the price of a few disks! For the record, the SBLive!Platinum is excellent, and surprise, surprise, installed into NT4 (SP5, dual PII) first time and works fully as expected. Given all the hassle I had with previous AWE32 and 64 cards with NT4 I was mildly astonished. All I need now is a software recorder that can be started by the task scheduler and go straight into record mode. Anyone know how I can do this? Waiting up to record the Essential Selection at 2:00am brings me into conflict with the trouble and strife :( John --- "Techno Grandad" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reading, England --- - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Sony MD discam
It's very cool but with two HUGE drawbacks not included that are found on Sony Mini DV Camcorders: No IEEE 1394 Firewire Link, therefore, no way of transferring MD Discam Digital Video to any kind of digital tape for making copies or assembling MPEG2 quality movies of longer than 20 minutes in length (assuming you use the variable bit function and it records the longest possible video on disc-otherwise, anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes.) Totally useless for semi-professional or professional purposes except as a still image camera. No ability to dub a second audio track in. You can add an audio track in later but you can't add it to your original audio track without erasing it, no two track audio-and you know it should be able to do this. Another drawback about this camera, found on most Sony Mini DV and Digital 8 camcorders, but not the MD Discam: No Nightshot.
