Re: MD: Sony MZ-R900
The rechargable battery I think is the best feature of the r900 that the r700, r500 have not got. With up to 26 hours with just the rechargeable battery (in LP4?) and 21 hours in normal stereo mode (obviously you have to take the stated figures a bit tongue in cheek), although I used my r900 on just the gumstick for almost 2 weeks of using it anywhere from 1 to 2 hours so if u average that at 1 1/2 hrs for almost 14 days, that nearly meets the stated battery life. Also I think it looks nicer than the other r x00s If you want detailed info about the r900 go to: (hope this bloody plain-text link works :P ) http://www.minidisc.org/brian_youn/sony_mzr900.html The R700 and the R500 use AA batteries, no gumpacks. They are MDLP capable according to MDCP data entries. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We can safely assume, however, that it is not type-R, because it would have been an important advantage over other portables. wtf is atrac type R ?

MD: . is MDLP worth the wait?
hello- advice time. i'm looking for opinions mainly. if you had an MDLP home deck. and 2 non-MDLP players. and were in the market for a used portable recorder. would you wait until MDLP portable recorders became more widespread and buy a MDLP recorder, or would you just buy a used non-MDLP recorder now? I do use the MDLP feature on my home deck, but mainly only to record the audio from movies. paying for a new R900 is not an option right now, and i don't like what i'm hearing about them anyway. I would like to get my hands on a used portable MDLP recorder from sharp or aiwa however. so would you buy non-MDLP now, or wait a while for a good, used portable MDLP? - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MD: Problems with CD-TEXT to title MD
Hi everybody. I just want to post this to see if anyone have the same problem. I am using Easy CD Creator 5.0 to burn some audio CDs. I entered the CD-text info also, and hoping when I copy the disc to MD, I don't have to type the track title again. However, when I make the copy, the MD recorder says TEXTPROTECT. This is the first time I ever see this message, and obviously, no title has been made, and it seems the cd-text info on the cd has been copy-right protected. Does anyone know what went wrong here? I don't see any option in Easy CD Creator for me to check or uncheck the copy-right protection. How can I work over this problem? I am using the Sony JB940, and a Sony CD changer, with s-link connected. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks. Ken __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Re: MD: Problems with CD-TEXT to title MD
However, when I make the copy, the MD recorder says TEXTPROTECT. Well from browsing around minidisc.org, I found this (it's about the MXD-D3, let me know if it works for you): "One of the things I love about the MXD-D3 is the fact that it transfers CD-Text information to the MD when recording from CD, so you don't have to sit and title it all manually. However, it appears there are some SCMS- like rules for CD-Text also, and when using most burning software I get a 'TextProtect' error, meaning that the song can be copied but the text won't get to the MD. However, I've noticed a glitch that still allows the text to be transferred. When the unit is copying a CD, it puts the CD-Text title in a 'name buffer' on the MD side. Then the unit uses the buffer to insert the new information into the TOC. When it's copying a CD-Text disc with protected text, it still copies the name to this buffer, but then doesn't send the name to the TOC. I've found that while the unit is copying, if you wait until after the unit says 'textprotect' hit the AMS knob. Select 'name?' and then 'name in?'. The data is there! just hit 'yes' and it copies the name to the TOC. I know it's slightly more 'manual' than it should be, but it still beats titling manually. -Adam Sowers" Josh - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: MD: comparing sony mzr55 w/sharp 702/722
I've got to agree with Leon; the indicator is unpredictable. I just always carry the AA case with a fresh alkaline in it.

It fluctuates with the power on/off of the spindle, the read/write action, and many other things. The indicator can blink for light years while it manages to record, or appear to have 1/4 and suddenly run out. Compare it to any Panasonic and you'll see what I mean.

RE: MD: Problems with CD-TEXT to title MD
Thanks for replying... I tried your idea, but it doesn't seem to be working. It seems like there is somekind of protection like the SCMS that they placed on the cd. The music can pass thru, but not the cd text. Hum.. if you have some idea in using Easy CD Creator 4.0/5.0 it will be helpful. If I can change the settings of the copy-right status of the cd.

RE: MD: Problems with CD-TEXT to title MD
Thanks Josh, The situation described here seems to be the problem exactly. However, seems the work-around does not apply to the JB940. When I hit the AMS node and try to enter the name, the memory buffer seems to be empty, and no name is being entered. Now only if I can find a way to create an audio CD with full control on the copy-right status, including the CD-text info, the problem can be solved. Any ideas about which cd burning software can do this? Or how to do this in Easy CD Creator 4.0/5.0?

I would buy, or wait for, an MDLP machine. I recently got an MZ-R900 and have started playing with MDLP recording. The ability to record continuously for 5 1/3 hours without having to check batteries, levels, or media is unique. There is no other portable format that can do this. (Is there?) I used it to record a family get together one Saturday. After a few hours the fact that I was recording seemed to have faded from everyone's mind. It was really an "environment recorder" at that point. In fact, one of my favorite sections is a period of about 45 minutes when no one was around. During that period you can hear some birds on the porch, occasional conversations in another room, a person passing through, etc. With a media cost of around 25 cents an hour you can do things like this. I think LP4 quality is okay, certainly fine for speech (though you can still hear ATRAC3/LP4 artifacts in speech recordings if you know what to listen for). Every non-cognoscenti who gave it a listen though thought it sounded great. Like it or not, MDLP will soon be on every Minidisc unit being made (if not already). If you're an MD fan and want to stay on top of the format, it doesn't really make sense to keep getting incompatible gear. Rick p.s. the "ambient" recordings I made probably aren't worth much more than $0.25/hr today, but they're going straight into my time capsule (read: old shoe box). We'll listen to them next in another 5 or 10 years. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
