The new Sony MZ-R900, the Aiwa F70 and F/C80 do. Older Sony models don't, 
although I don't know about the lasted Sony play only model. I also don't 
know about Sharps or other manufacturers. You should check the equipment

David, their warehouse is in PA.  The bad thing is that I had to pay the tax.  The
good thing is that oft my order in two days.

 Larry's beliefs are a nice ideal, but they aren't the reality.

 In the US, if a company has presence ("nexus" is the word the lawyers like to
 use) in any state, it is responsible for remitting sales tax on sales to
 customers in that state and permitted to collect the sales tax from the
 customer instead of paying itself.  Nexus is defined very loosely: if you
 have a salesperson headquarted in that state, if your own trucks make
 deliveries into that state (or go through that state on their way to others)
 even if you sent that particular item by common carrier, if you have storage
 in that state, if you advertise on billboards or in local newspapers in that
 state, essentially if that state can find any excuse, you have nexus there
 and must remit sales tax on sales in or into that state.  And if you don't,
 then the customer is responsible for paying use tax (though that's rarely
 enforced unless the item is used in a business).

 Apparently Mercata believes it has nexus in Pennsylvania but not in New Mexi-
 co, so they want sales tax from Larry but not from Aaron.  One music publisher
 charges me Illinois sales tax if I buy their products from one of their sub-
 sidiaries but not if I buy them from another.

MD: CompUSA deal on Sound Foundry Software

2000-11-02 Thread Jerry Jelinek


Hi all,

I know this is not MD topic, but thought all of the MD to CDR fans would
be interested in this. 

At the local (Beachwood, Oh.) CompUSA, they have a Sound Foundry bundle
for an incredible price of $7.88.

The bundle includes Sound Forge XP4.5b, along with Sound Foundry ACID loop
maker.  

Sound Forge XP4.5b is a scaled down version of the Sound Forge Pro version
that costs hundreds of dollars.   For transferring MD to hard disk and
ultimately CD audio, the program works great.   Sound Forge XP has
compression (called dynamics).   It has has very detailed editing
features.  I highly recommend the program. 

The Sound Foundry ACID program enables you to make music loops using
pieces parts.  The musical styles are definately more rock and industrial
styles.  Not my personal favorites, but for the job, does an excellent job
at making background musical loops for presentations or background for
radio stations etc. 

FYI,

Jerry

The Aiwa AM-F70 (and I believe its successor, the AM-F80) is programmable. 
It also has repeat, but you don't have to turn repeat on, so you can program
one track, play it and let the machine stop, cancel the program, program a
different track, play that one and let the machine stop, etc.

MD: 722 problem

2000-11-02 Thread Lfmcarthy


 === The original message was multipart MIME===

Today, the best shock protection for jogging would be to use MDLP.  The LP2 
or LP4 modes double and quadruple the shock resistance time respectively.  My 
R-90 has skipped (in very few instances) but my R-900 in LP2 mode never has.  
For jogging, LP4 would be good enough fidelity, since the wind noise and 
jarring would prevent hearing any detail in the sound anyway.  This gives you 
160 seconds anti skip.

Regards,

Leland

None of the Sharp portables, including the latest (MT77), has program or
1-song playback.

The Sony MZ-E900 player does have program play.

MD: Music and Computer adapters

I use the "line out" from my computer to record any music I have directly

I looked at that site. It seems like you could use a regular portable MD
and just attach earplugs and then just use the inline controls to the mic.
It's probably a little cumbersome though.

Why is an optical or digital coax interconnect between your CD player and
MD recorder better than analog?  Less noise on the line, and you eliminate
the DAC-ADC-DAC conversions along the way.

No dialect.  Slang is the use of a word that is not generally accepted by
scholars as a proper word.  Dialect is the pronunciation and sometimes addition
of words into a language that make it different from the way others speak the
language.

It has to do with which syllable the accent is placed on words too

MD: drop outs!!

2000-11-02 Thread Wei Han Kurt Wee


Greets all,

some weird behaviours here, I have been recording from CD using my mzr50
for a while now, I set the recording up to sync and forgets about them...

here and there I notice sometimes, the recording drops out in certain songs
, or that the song is cut into a few tracks or only part of the song is
recorded before it jams to the next track next song.

how's that?

:-)
kurt.
