Actually I think you sense the fact that on this list
we constantly debate and argue to get the facts out
vs. common misunderstandings.

fact: a light year is a unit of distance
myth: mp3 sounds just as good as Minidisc
fact: mailing lists attract arguments over all kinds of things
myth: telling someone to shove it is a mature response to discovering
  that someone might have been wrong.
fact: I hadn't posted in a while and this seemed like as good a reason as any.
myth: It was actually a good reason
fact: I'm bored!

In case you can't tell, that was a tongue sticking out down there.

Certain statements to the list (oh, let's say, there can be a difference in
sound based on the blanks) simply means one gets crucified by list members
who would rather not agree with anyone but themselves. Most of the time
people can make kinder, more neutral statements that say what they want just
by adjusting their wording.

If any one of you, by some magical means, become fluent in Japanese and
visit some of their MD and audio-related forums, and see how carefully some
of them construct their arguments, you'll see why I'm saying all this.

And if my "light year" layman terminology troubles so many of you, I quit
this list. It's as simple as that.

MD: What's missing on the MZ-R700 and MZ-R500? (was: Sony MZ-R900)

2001-04-15 Thread Eric Woudenberg, Minidisc.org Editor


Leon [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 The R500, R700 and R900 have different features.
 
 According to MDCP, the R700 doesn't have (when compared to the R900):
 - - joint text
 - - date/time stamp
 - - LCD on remote
 - - personal disc memory.
 
 On top of that, the R500 doesn't have:
 - - mic input
 - - remote control
 
 The R700 and the R500 use AA batteries, no gumpacks. They are MDLP capable
 according to MDCP data entries.

If anyone owns an MZ-R700 or MZ-R500 and can give a careful rundown of
features they are missing when compared with the MZ-R900 (perhaps by
having a look at the respective manuals), I'd be happy to add them to
the Equipment Browser.

In particular I'd like to know whether the MZ-R700/500:

o will display Remaining Recording Time
o really don't have date-time stamp
o have playback speed control
o have sound-1 and sound-2 presets 
o have digital rec-level control
o have playback speed control

I'm also still looking for manuals for the MZ-R700 and MZ-R500 units.

Thanks,
Rick

p.s. I found that RadarCity.com is selling the MZ-R500 (a new-for-2001
model) for $130+$10 shipping. This is getting pretty close to the $100
MD recorder. It's taken nearly 10 years from MD's launch (well, the
dollar has lost value in that time too!)

MD: off topic- cool edit

2001-04-15 Thread Timothy Stockman


I used CoolEdit 96 almost from the start and upgraded to CE2000
several months ago.  Many things are almost the same, so there isn't
much of a learning curve, so far as I can see.  Like WinME, the
user interface looks a bit slicker.  It probably has lots of little changes,
so whether it'd be worth the price to you depnds on whether any of
those changes are important to you.

Re: MD: md-l-mimedigest V3 #9

2001-04-15 Thread me


Disks recorded on the x5 play well on the x5. likewise, disks recorded on the 702 play 
well on the x5 *AND* the 702. the only apparent problem is x5 - 702

This is strange -- does the MD recorded on the x5 ALSO sound bad ON the
x5?

I ask because ATRAC is backwards-compatible. A recording made on the x5
should sound exactly the same on the x5 as it does on the 702 (well, it
will sound a bit different because of different amps, etc., but you know
what I mean ;)).

Sounds like one of the units is broken -- maybe the heads are misaligned
in one of them.

2001-04-15 Thread Kenneth Lee


CE2000 support direct editing of MP3 files... and CE96 don't... so if you
need this function.. it is a lot easier for you since you don't have to
convert the files back and forth.
