MD: DHC-MD555 at Crutchfield, $399!!!
In case you guys don't know, Crutchfield is carrying the Sony shelf system DHC-MD555 (5 CD and 5MD changer with MD walkman link and optional PC link) for $399! This is much off of the normal price, which I've seen for $500-649 at some sites. I went ahead and snatched one, if you guys are interested you'd better hurry. --Brian Youn The University of Austin at Texas Electrical and Computer Engineering, 4th Year (Go Lakers!) - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: Sony MD commercial
I've seen the Sony MD commercial on MTV serveral time now selling MD as a way to record music from the Internet. While I think it's great that we're finally seeing MD ads, I wonder if this is really the right approach. I am a big supporter of MD, specifically Sony (I have a JE520, an MZ-EP11, an MDS-PC2 and 3 MDX-65s), but it seems to me that its *more* difficult to record MP3s to MD than it is to, for example, a Rio. It takes longer, since the MD has to be recorded at 1X; the titles don't transfer automatically, etc. I'm afraid these commercials might backfire if MD newbies are disappointed when they find out that MD is actually not the best format for this specific application. Sony *could* have addressed some of these issues: 1) There are digital soundcards that will support 88.2KHz, so 2X transfers would be possible today if it was supported by the firmware in the MD recorder; the hardware already mostly supports it! Not much PC support for higher than 96KHz yet, but that may change with DVD-computer integration; I think AC-3 uses 192 or 384K, so theoretically 4X and 8X would be possible as newer soundcards become available. 2) Some PC software to make things easier. Drag-and-drop hard disk to MD. Maybe somehow integrate a CD ripper into it, so that you could just do drag-and-drop beween the CDROM, MD, or HD. 3) Right now, the digital audio goes via TOSlink and the control goes via control-A1 (which portable recorders don't have). Maybe they could figure out a clever way of embedding deck control into the user bits of the TOSlink. That would certainly make it a *lot* simpler to set up... Any thoughts about this? - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have another view: Rio and similar devices store about the half minutes than a MD. Memory cards are several times more expensive than MDs, aren't as rugged and MD have better offer regarding car audio and deck systems. As somebody said in this list, nowadays CDRom storage MP3 based systems doesn't have nor the appeal, or equal finishing/rugging than MD units, not to mention price. Maybe with the actual hardware/software for MP3 to MD handling makes MD not the _best format regarding convenience_, but I'm sure is a format ideally suited for this in terms of costs, quality, portability...

Yes, that would be very nice. But I don't even think about a sound card; better use a USB or FireWire port to do the transfer digitally... If we add to the scene a affordable portable unit that has all of this, car and deck users will definitely buy it as a complement of their equipment, with the plus of a portable unit. 2) Some PC software to make things easier. Drag-and-drop hard disk to MD. Maybe somehow integrate a CD ripper into it, so that you could just do drag-and-drop beween the CDROM, MD, or HD. Yes, this is an area where sony lacks a lot of functionality. It's funny, they have a whole line of PCs (VAIO) that support s-link, firewire, etc, but their MD editor software doens't support neither cd-index or CDDB or some features that any newbie user will quickly find out as interesting... 3) Right now, the digital audio goes via TOSlink and the control goes via control-A1 (which portable recorders don't have). Maybe they could figure out a clever way of embedding deck control into the user bits of the TOSlink. That would certainly make it a *lot* simpler to set up... Any thoughts about this? mmm... for portables, what about a serial adapter with plugs on the PC, then to the unit, and the original unit remote to that adapter? I guess it will be a lot easier to implement... Regarding S-link equipped units, Sony _should_ definitively open the specs. But that's another issue... greets, *---(*)---**-- Francisco J.

MD: INFO needed-please help!
Hey there! Im new to the list and need help as soom as possible. The scenario is this: Im about to buy a MZ-R55 from a fella selling 2nd hand. I dont know too much about MD to figure out whether the deal is dodgy or not. Firstly- The battery with it says its a NH-9WM...now all the documentation Ive read says the R55 is supposed to have NH-14WM! Are the batteries interchangable? Can I use the 9 (there doesnt seem to be a PROBLEM). Does anyone know about the battery specs for the 9 when used in R55 (eg. record/play times) Secondly - The recharger hes giving me is not a proper Sony? one but a generic Tandy adaptor. Can I use this to recharge the battery?? Will it kill the machine?? Is there anything to look at on the recharger (eg. it says 500mA). Lastly - Can Ni-MH batteries be recharged on the fly or do they have to be run all the way down. I would greatly appreciate a bit of help in answering any of these questions. I need to make a decision soon! Thanks Jeremy - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
