Hey guys.  Just picked up a Sony MZR37-SP, and was wondering if it was =
possible to use ANY sony remote with it. I'd much rather have an LCD one =
if that was possible, and they seem to be redily availble.  Thanks!

RE: MD: atrac3, Shorten

 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Check out www.etree.org , the .SHN (Shorten) format is
 lossless compression, and can be played in winamp (with a
 plugin).  Not sure what the compression ratio is.

 JT

Nothing special, just 2:1 in lossless mode, based on Huffman coding.
Anyobody can do fast 2:1 lossless. LempelZev + Huffman can do better than
2:1.
Here's a technical report on Shorten:

Found the link to it from http://www.softsound.com/Shorten.html

Re: MD: RF Car MD Changer?

2000-11-17 Thread Richard Rudie


 The factory cassette/cd in dash player is double-sized, and there are
 controls mounted on the steering wheel.  I don't want to change the
 appearance of the dash or lose the functionality of the steering wheel
 controls, but for the last two years I have been anticipating installing
 an MD player in the new vehicle I knew I would purchase.

Ask Crutchfield (1-800-955-3000, http://www.crutchfield.com/) about it.
Kenwood makes an in-dash  3+1 MD changer (model KMD-D400,
http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-Otw7DIHunrr/ProdView.asp?s=0c=3g=600;
I=113KMDD400o=a=); it installs in a double-sized dash opening along with a
controller-changing Kenwood stereo. So you could get a CD-playing head unit
and have the MD changer with it: radio, CD, and multi-MD.
Pioneer also makes an add-on MD player for double-sized dash openings (the
MDS-P7000), but it's a single MD. I couldn't find a Web page for it on
Crutchfield's site, but it is in their Fall 2000/Winter 2001 catalog (on
page 32).

But I don't know if that'd be too much of an appearance change.. and you'd
have to ask a Crutchfield tech if the steering-wheel controls would work
with a new stereo. Oh, and you'd lose the cassette player, too, but who
needs cassettes when you have minidiscs?

MD: PC Link/ Soundcard

2000-11-17 Thread Carlos Coelho


Hi there again.

I would like to thank all of those who helped me get information about the 
PC Link.

I also have another question, but now regarding Souncards. I'm interested in 
getting one that has a digital input on it. I have found a few that has a 
digital out, but none with a digital in. Does anyone know where I can get 
one?

I know there are some that have Toslink conectors. Are they digital in or 
out? Or both?

Please let me know any info that some of you may know.
Thanks in advance,

Carlos.
