MD: Portable Sony Minidisc Titling equipment?

2001-07-16 Thread Aaron Tan


Hey there guys...

i've just got myself a Sony MZ-R900 portable MD recorder and i'm finding
titling with the
little jog dials quite a pain. does anybody know of any equipment or
method of titling via
the pc for portables? i've searched around and there seem to be those for
decks via IR, but
no sign of any for portables.

thanks :)

MD: Net MD revisited

2001-07-16 Thread las


Regarding Sony’s proposed Net MD, right now all audio MD recorders record
in some form of ATRAC.  Would it require major additional electronics to
be able to record MP3 files directly on to Mini Discs from a PC, via
either USB or Firewire?

To me this seems akin to Sony’s eventually having to start making VHS
recorders and tapes.  If it was possible, the difference would be that the
MD format could still remain intact, both physically the way Mini Discs
are today, and electronically.  But also including circuitry for accepting
PCM and converting it to ATRAC.

That way you could maintain backwards compatibility in still being able to
record in ATRAC and playing ATRAC MDs made on other recorders.  If it
meant that you could not mix “MP3 MDs” and ATRAC MDs on the same disc, I’d
have no problem with that.

For the longest time Sony has been making different means of storage for
the same type of electronic equipment, e.g. Sony has their own digital
Camcorder format, makes mini DV camcorders and also uses the “Stick” for
storage.  I they even make an MD camcorder?

Actually Sony does make a recorder that can record MP3 files, their Data
MD.  But the discs are very expensive, not playable on audio MD recorders
and I don’t think that they are capable of being connected directly to an
audio system to play MP3 files as audio files (like some DVD, auto and
portable CD players can play MP3 CDs.

MD: Xwave 7110 3d soundcard thingie

2001-07-16 Thread Gerard Naude


There was recently a discussion on the list about cmi chipsets which I
missed. Damn. I recently bought an xwave 7100 sound card with optic out
(which uses the cmi chipset). The quality is cool. My problems are:

1. When i do graphical stuff, my optic out starts to stutter. (2Mb pci
graphics card, as it is only meant for audio work, and a network card, all
on pci)
2. How can I get automatic track marks on my md when recording mp3's?

The card was real cheap, only R150 (or $20). Even here in south africa that
is dirt cheap for an optic sound card.
Any help will be appreciated.

Unfortunately, there's probably nothing you can to :-(

Re: MD: Sharp MD-MS702 AC adapter

 I bought a Radio Shack 4.5V 700mA adapter today.  They didn't have 5V

 with the one that I got is that it's fully regulated.  The output is a
 perfect 4.5V at all times.  Apparently that's not even voltage for the
 Sharp.  It will run off 4.5V, but it won't charge the battery.

i had the same problem. i got a variable voltage one  installed a 5v
regulator in it, as mentioned a few posts ago. i have to run it at 9v  it
puts off some heat (i.e. wasted energy) but puts out a solid 5v  the
battery charges perfectly.
