Josh asked, | Is there a FAQ anywhere for this mailing list? Yes, on the MiniDisc Community Pages at http://www.minidisc.org. | Also, what is a good Portable Player/Recorder to get? You'll have to compare features, availability, and price. There's no universal answer for everyone.

MD: The proper use for MIni Discs
Yesterday it occurred to me that all of this arguing about how close an MD copy comes to the original CD misses the point. MDs should not (in my humble opinion) be considered substitutes for CDs. Unless you want constantly buy CDs only to make MD copies of (since prerecorded MDs are rare) and then sell the CDs at a loss, it makes no sense to play MDs in an expensive home system while their original CD sits on the shelf. If the CD is available, play the CD. The beauty of the MD is that it has sound quality almost as good as and possibly, to the human ear, as good as, a CD. While being smaller, better protected, etc. It is the ideal very high quality portable music medium. Use it in your car, jog with it. Sure you can buy an expensive deck. Great for making the highest quality MD copies and titling, but why play back the MD on your $10,000 stereo unit? Play the original CD. You want a copy so you can listen while your wife uses her copy of the CD in another room, that's what so called CD burners are for. Their prices have dropped way down, as did the price of CDRs. So wanting an extra copy of a CD is no longer the reason for copying it on to Md. Portability is the answer. With all of the other noise in your car, or while you are jogging with a pair of (even if they are very high quality) headphones, you are still not going to have the sound quality of a listening room designed specifically for audio. So don't go crazy trying to argue about whether an MD copy is just as good as a CD. It's MUCH better than tape!

MD: FAQ, question
Is there a FAQ anywhere for this mailing list? Also, what is a good Portable Player/Recorder to get? I am a total newbie when it comes to Minidisc, but I just got 'Minidisc' by Gescom, and I need something to listen to it with now :) I have no idea about the price ranges or anything, but I'd prefer not to spend loads of money.

Re: MD: question..
=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === Nope...the only way I've seen is to play the music on one system, and record it in real time on the other.

Re: MD: copying sound files to MD 1x (was question)

Remember that a MiniDisc recorder is an audio recording device; don't think of it as a computer peripheral. It can store tracks only in its own format; you can copy the sound of an MP3 or wav file to it but you can't transfer the file itself. Something has to generate an audio signal (S/PDIF or analog) for the MD unit to record. It can -- the exception will be noted below, so cool your jets, folks -- go only in real time. You can always do other things while it's running. The exception is certain CD-MD combo units that can copy from CD to MD at 2x or even 4x; but if you're recording input from an external source, then they, too, go at real time. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MD: The proper use for MIni Discs
I think you are short sighted. MD has more uses than just copying CDs. 1. It is a learning tool for students. a. Take it to a lecture and record it with a microphone. b. have a friend take it to a lecture if you have a hangover and need to sleep it off. c. Take it to a jam session to record new tunes tol learn 2. It is a practice aid. a. Record a tune you are learning, and play along with it. b. set it to repeat problem sections of a tune so you can hear it and practice that section. c. Record a band practice so you can play along with it later. 3. It is a cheap way to make a demo CD. a. Record your band on MD, edit out the mistakes and talking and dump it to a computer CDROM. b. Use the time and date stamp to see how long the cut will be. 4. It is a way to improve performances. a. Record the performance and listen to it afterwards. b. Record the tunes at a practice, and use the time/date stamp to see how many tunes you need for a gig. 5. It is a way to prepare a presentation. a. record your presentation and play it back tosee what needs to be improved. 5. It is a way to record business meetings. a. set it on the conference table with a mike and if you use one with time and dates stamping you knowwhen it was recorded. 6. Use it to master a CD a more than one CD has used a minidisc recorder to produce all are part of it. 7. Use it for a guided tour. A. record details on certain parts of the tour. play back that track when the bus gets to that site. 8. Use it for a back up band for a low paying gig. a. record a bunch of tunes to play though an amplifier when you play along with them. b. record a drum sequence and replace the drummer. (I hope Tony does't get mad) I am sure there are many more uses. las wrote: Yesterday it occurred to me that all of this arguing about how close an MD copy comes to the original CD misses the point.
