MD: sec: unclassified: Tray loading or not

2000-10-13 Thread Cramb, Kevin


Gidday MDers

I'm new to the list but MDing fro about 4 years.  I have a (recently broken)
MDS-303, a E-40 and a R-50.
I hope I can hit you with a few questions.

Seeing it will cost me about $500 AUD to fix my 303 I am looking around for
a replacement.  I can get a JE530 at my price range, is it a good deck?  I
would like to have Co-ax dig in and the PS-2 titling option would fantastic.
Where is best place to order them over the net?
Any tips on trying to get my 303 servicable again?  I tried the tip about
sitting it on the side and upside down, but no joy :-(

Cheers

 Kev

Didn't know about that. Thanks for the info. Is this just decks, or are
there porties that do this too? Could you give me some examples of models
with it?

MD: portables with digital gain control

The Sharp 831 is supposed to have it, as is the Sony R90, perhaps the R900.
As a general guide, I'd say check the specs on models that have come out
since the beginning of 1999.

MD: MDLP

2000-10-13 Thread Phat Ha


If the normal ATRAC is able to compress CD music at a ratio of 5-1 and the 
new MDLP format is able to squeeze four (4) times as much audio data onto 
the same disk then ATRAC isn't MDLP compressing CD music at a ratio of 20-1? 
If so, this blows away mp3 ;^)

Re: MD: MDLP

2000-10-13 Thread las


Check out the FAQ on the MD community page.  I believe it has nothing to do with
further compression (or more correctly bitwise reduction).  The just lower the
bit rate.

If you go use Napster you will always see a bit rate listed for each song you
search for.  The higher the number the larger the file.

For MP3s 128 seems to be the most popular number.  But you will find a variety
of different numbers listed.

The smaller you make the file, the more you can fit on the disc (obviously).

As far a blowing away MP3, if you mean in terms of storage time, again depending
on the bit rate, A CD of MP3 files will have a much longer playing time than an
MD in the LP2 mode.

From statements made on this list, the LP4 mode's sound quality is not suitable
for music.
