I've had trouble getting this to work in Outlook Express. Has anyone 
else had success in OE?

Are you using the Mac version of OE, or the PC version? If it's the Mac 
version, it will work fine, since Mac OE 5 is brand new. If it's the PC 
version, it may not work since Windows OE is actually a pretty bad email 
client. I don't think it's been updated in quite a while.

Wow and a year or two ago I would only get 30 or 40 listings instead of
the 400+ I get now.  Who says MD isn't selling?

Aiwa had a portable player, the AM-R10 I think, where the band was

know whether any has been so far.

Re: MD: Sony MZ-R900 and other LP units

2000-10-02 Thread Keith Whitfield


I have just brought the Sony jb940 and while I havn't got the best setup in
the world I can here very slight differences in the sound between stereo
LP2 I can only here it with headphones. you can here it more if theres
phaseing between left and right it's hard to put into words but it's the
sort of effect when the music sound as if it's going around you rather then
just fading left and right and only when it involves a 1 or 2 instruments.
Other then that it's a great space saver but it's not compatible with my car
md head unit so it's upgrade time again.
hope my poor description is of some help.

Re: MD: Panasonic MR200

2000-10-02 Thread Leon


Hi there,

This year, the Sony R900 pretty much stole the limelight, being a large
renewal effort rather than the facelifts that the MR200/ST66 are.  These two
are probably no less decent than the R900, but I guess we all want to get a
taste of LP2/4.

Before the R900, I had seriously considered the MR200 for one feature:
H.D.E.S. (high density encoding system) capability, which is supposedly more
accurate and generates less sparkling noise.  However, the general opinion
of owners from a Japanese message board,
(http://www.puwa-net.com/minidisc/bbs/yybbs.cgi)
is that H.D.E.S. doesn't provide very much improvement.  H.D.E.S. only
functions when you power the MR200 from AC adaptor, unless you DIY and make
separate power packs of over 1.2V in voltage.

Feature-wise, the MR200 doesn't allow manual recording level adjustment. Not
a biggie if you'd use it mainly for dubbing CDs, but it'll otherwise make
your task of recording more labourious.

Hope this is of some help.

Just received my R900 today.  LP2 is pretty good, from what I've gathered so
far. Love the space savings.  I'll post if I notice anything and can
describe it better.

Keith, I know what you mean. Now that you've mentioned it I'll try LP2 on a
few tracks that have that kind of effect. :)

MD: Kenwood's new boombox

2000-10-02 Thread Leon


http://www.kenwoodcorp.com/j/press/press2928.html

The MDX-G7 a boombox, hence the "Rampage" name.  Rampage has been doing
extremely well in the boombox market (40% share, I think), and Kenwood keeps
on trying to strengthen their position.

the speakers are about 51mm thick. Tentative release date is Early November.

A quick summary of some of the features:
- MD-LP capable
- double-speed dubbing
- USB input (converted to analog before recording)
- can be powered by 6 AA batteries (3.5 hour MD playback)
- can be hung on a wall
- foldable speakers, weighs 1.7kg overall
- 10-key (mobile phone style) or the normal looping title input
- output for optional subwoofer
- A pair of 7cm woofers and 2.5cm tweeters

I want one! :) But the FM tuner is 76-90MHz and doesnt offer an 87.5-108
option.

Re: MD: WHY?

2000-10-02 Thread Timothy P. Stockman


 I have a Sony MD MZ R 70, and today I have discovered my
 remote control is not working anymore...

The remote is just a resistor ladder.  If you've got an ohmmeter, connect it
to 2 of the pins on the "edge connector" at the end of the remote cable (I
forget which 2, but the other 2 are not connected on the R70 remote).  When
the meter is connected to the proper pins, it will indicate various
resistances when you press keys; the value depends on which key is pressed.
Sounds like your problem is a open circuit.  This test will allow you to
determine if its the remote or the recorder.

MD: Why can't we petition manufacturers regarding the boombox issue

2000-10-02 Thread Simon Mackay


Hi everyone!

After I raised a discussion over the availability of boomboxes in USA and
Australia, whey can't we raise the issue with the manufacturers and
importers?

We should start off a petition to the manufacturers and importers, like what
happened to cause Sony to dump "mandatory End Search" on their portables, to
import and make available in significant quantity the MD boomboxes.

These two markets have the long summers and the outdoor lifestyle that
encourages use of these devices. Even the mains-only boomboxes come in handy
in the outdoor lifestyle because they can be used in the backyard (well-used
area during the long summers). This is because they plug into a long
extension cord run from the house; or the boombox can be perched on a nearby
windowsill with the front facing the backyard; the set being plugged into
the nearest outlet.

With regards,

Simon Mackay
