Re: MD: What is Sony thinking?!?
this kinda has to do with this subject, but only a little. last evening we had some nasty snowy weather here and our power was out for about 10 hrs. right after it went out i decided, since i was wide awake, to listen to some music, i got out my trusty portable MD player and started to listen to it. just laying there i realized one super major bigtime realization(ok well maybe it isn't so bigtime) if you are listening to MD on a portable that has been digitally copied, IMO you can not tell the difference between the original and the copy, at least on sub $150 headphones or any earbuds. However just the opposite can be stated about MP3's, i can be listening with crappy $0.99 earphones and definately tell the difference between the original and the copy. Anyway i got that out of my system, i love my MD players and i've converted many people over from getting portable MP3 players to getting MD players, after they realize how much media costs for mp3 players and how bad they exactly sound they realize how big of a piece of crap they are. Hopefully some day there will be a good solid state solution that has no or extremely little cd loss with high compression, but until that time comes i'm sticking with MD. - Original Message - From: "chaulsr" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2000 9:03 AM Subject: RE: MD: What is Sony thinking?!? From what I observed Sony had changed the way it market MD in the past 2 years. When I first saw MD about 10 years ago, it advertised as Compact, Digital Audio, Near CD sound quality, and most important, Recordable/Editable. As that time Sony is targetting the audio tape, so that make sense for all that claims. And MD does a good job and take over most of the market from audio tape. But what happened in recent years is the new MP3 format which started with a software only implementation and later got hardware implemented, plus the advancement of memory technology which end up a price drop. So a MP3 player make sense and most computer users can easily produce/collect their own MP3 collections. So we now see Sony kindly offer us USB connection and MDLP which extended the fantasy of MD. I guess that's toward the Computer users rather than the audio market. And last, personally I prefer MD. It's easy to record, I just snap in a CD and a MD then press several buttons.

The Fall 2000 issue of Sony Style magazine advises us to connect the USB PCLink to our computers to "record mixes to your MD recorder with almost no loss in sound quality." To further reinforce their contention that MD doesn't sound as good as it could, they go on to advertise their MDW-80D premium discs as being constructed in a way that "reduces vibrations during disc rotation to produce even better sound." While MP3 advocates crow about their "near CD sound quality," Sony seems to want to warn people that Minidisc doesn't really sound that good. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 10, 2000 3:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: md-l-mimedigest V2 #829 Message: md-l-mimedigest V2 #829 (530 bytes) - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] === s K O q l l c http://sinamail.sina.com.hk Y U SinaTicker http://sinaticker.sina.com.hk === s K O q l l c http://sinamail.sina.com.hk Y U SinaTicker http://sinaticker.sina.com.hk - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: MZ-R90 problems
My MZ-R90 started playing up recently by skipping (jumping a lot and cutting out - just like a scratched vinyl LP). Luckily it was still under It has skipped on my a bit even when I am just walking. My r-30 never did this and it did not have a fantastic 40 sec memory. r-90 mechanical sounds are louder. I think the reason for this is the r-90 sometimes uses a 'power-saving' mode which spins the disc up, reads up to 40 seconds of data in advance and spins down again. A short while later it will spin up again to read in the next chunk of audio data. Problem is, if you're out walking and you jog the unit when it's trying to spin up and read in the next chunk, it will take a while to find the right place on the disc again, meaning it might not have got around to reading in audio data before the previous 40-second memory has been used up!! A bit crap, if you ask me. I think there's a way to disable this 'mode' - i *KNOW* that Sharp units have a similar setting and you can enable it (for better battery life) and disable it (for SENSIBLE usage of the antishock memory, i.e. offering 40 seconds of SKIP PROTECTION rather than just using it as a crummy battery-life-preserving buffer). I don't know how to disable it on Sony units, unfortunately. Could somebody please tell me / us how to disable the power-saving 'feature' - assuming there IS a way to disable it? I too have an MZR90 and I've started noticing it on my unit now. If it wasn't for the fact that I physically hate the sound of Sharp ATRAC compression I wish I'd stuck with my MT831!

RE: MD: MZ-R90 problems
I'm getting kinda tired of my MZ-R90. I noticed the problems of the slow . It skips when I am just walking, the battery door doesn't stay closed, it never charges fully/properly, and the volume is never loud enough. Should I send it back to International connection.com? Think they would exchange it for a R900? Does the R900 take care of any of these problems?

MD: 722 switcheroo?
I've been trying to buy a sharp 722 to replace my 702 which just stopped recording. I found a place on the web that said they had the 722 for $190 so I ordered one. Today the package arrives and they sent me a sharp md-sr60 instead of a 722. So I call the place up and they say that sharp has stopped making the 722 so they sent me the sr60 as a replacement (they charged me less for the sr60 than they would've for the 722). Is this legal? I wanted a 722 because it has the same battery type and the same front loading (slot) mechanism as the 702 does. Does anyone know where I might find a new 722 (not sure if I trust e-bay)?? thanks, matt - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
