MD: need _brand_ for optical cable with slim grip ends
Hello QUESTION Does anyone know of a brand of cable I can buy that has a 'narrow' end? I need to know a brand, because I can't eyeball cable ends when buying from the web or mail order. DISCUSSION I have an RCA six-foot optical cable that properly fits my MD recorders and my CD player. However, the finger grips are too fat for connection to a PCI audio card when installed in a computer. When an audio card is NOT in the computer, the cable clicks into place as expected; it's the computer housing that physically prevents the cable finger-gripper part from entering sufficiently deep to allow the cable to lock into place within the optical receptacle. The optical cable bundled with my JE530 fits the PCI card when inside the computer, but that cable is only three feet long. Three feet is too short to reach from my floor-standing computer to my desk or audio rack. :-( SUMMARY I hope there's sufficient clarity for understanding my question. I need the name of a company that sells optical cables with narrow/slim finger grip ends.

MD: new user needs information on MD to PC transfers
Hello, I recently bought a sony MZ-R70 minidisc recorder with a pclink. This seems fine for downloading things from the computer to a mini disc. But what I really wanted with the recorder is to be able to record sounds, fild recordings etc and then upload the recordings from my minidisc recorder to my computer so that I can manipulate them in an audio editor program like cool edit let's say. I have not however come across any information on MD to PC transfers. How do you go about doing that? I am sure this is a question that has been answered a thousand times so sorry for asking for the thousand and first time cecil touchon http://ipdg.org/massurrealist/ - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: MD: Net MD (slightly OT)
I use an Apple in my work as a motorcycle journalist. It's a three-month-old G4 500mhz, with CDRW, 384MB RAM. I normally use it for Word, Outlook, Explorer, Quark and Real Player. It crashes all the time - at least twice a day, often more. It's less reliable than my own (home-made) Windows/AMD PC. I think Apples have become less reliable over the past couple of years. The old Performas were almost indestructible. The newer ones seem much less so. Sorry for the big OT post...

I have tried to convert people with no luck. People moan, but never make an effort to try something new :-( Try anything but windows (Linux, Mac, BeOs), or that blue-screen-of-death-security-hole OS is forever going to rule your pc. I admit I still use windoze because i'm forced to still do some things in Visual Basic. But for most programs there are other OS equivalents. I don't know about you, but ALL my friends and family run Windows. Even acquaintences that I meet run Windows. What are the stats now, 85% of all PC users run Windows? Most software in the store and most new shareware is also for Windows. Even my friend that's big into Linux owns a Windows box. Shawn That's too bad Shawn. I've had Macs for many years and my present iMac DV+ does everything I want. It also works beautifully with all my MD equipment through an iMic (USB to analogue converter.) When I look at my few friends with Windows machines, I'm always amazed about the time they need to keep their systems running. (Most of my other friends own Macs!) I own a computer because I want to be productive. I don't want a computer for the sake of maintenance to the OS. I haven't made the step to Mac OS X yet, but I'm very happy about the stability of Mac OS 9.1 and now 9.2. And apart from some latest games, there's nothing you can't do on a Mac that can be done in Windows.The biggest advantage of the Mac OS is of course the flawless application of USB, FireWire and Ethernet. I tested my CD-RW today by recording an audio CD at 12x with Roxio's Toast 5.0. (Files were on my harddisk, I wouldn't risk copying a CD directly this way) While the CD was burning in the background on my Sony FireWire CD-RW I was downloading some songs through LimeWire and my ADSL modem (Ethernet connection) while playing other songs through iTunes and the iMic on my stereo. Everything worked at the same time and no buffer underruns or other problems occurred. I think that was quite an acid test for the stability of Mac OS. This should work on a Windows machine too, but I don't think anyone is going to risk a coaster or a reboot with a test like this:) iMark - 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]
MD: Dropped MZR-900 plays original but not recordable MD
Hi there, I recently dropped my MZR-900 from a height of 1 meter off a table onto a carpeted floor, during playback of a recordable minidisc. I put it back on the table, and playback continued for half an hour. The next day when I tried other recordable discs it said DISC ERR on all of them, except one, which played with glitches. I took it into my local Sony service center. They quoted me more than the unit cost to repair, telling me: the chassis needs replacing, the bit that holds the PCBs together. Last night I discovered it still plays original pre-recorded minidiscs perfectly. What do you think might be wrong with it, and should the repair cost be cheaper, or can I do it myself? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Lewis. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === If the repair costs are higher than the cost of the unit, obviously look for somewhere else to get it repaired, or get a new unit. Your post makes me wonder what has happened to the construction quality of the newer Sonys. I've had my R50 for years, and it has taken some extreme abuse. The most I've ever had to do is wipe a little bit of dirt off of it and before that it was still playing :-) The old ones were built solid! -Jeff On Mon, 24 Sep 2001, Lewis Collins wrote: Hi there, I recently dropped my MZR-900 from a height of 1 meter off a table onto a carpeted floor, during playback of a recordable minidisc.

MD: Nude Ex Earbuds
I'm currently waiting out the Nude Ex earbuds. They are perfect for what I need, closed design, great sound, and buds so I can bring them whereever my MD goes. However, they are really expensive. Will they go down in price? Or is the quality the reason they are so high? - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MD: Net MD (slightly OT)
with all this discussion about how crappy different os's are it made me think of something. Peronally i've never read on this list this following statement I cant believe anyone would buy 'Brand X' MD player recorder because it always crashes and totally sucks yeah some of the sharps had a toc error and there were glitches in several of the models but for the most part didn't the flaws in these models get fixed? Not really sure what this has to do with, but it made me think of MD so i posted it I use an Apple in my work as a motorcycle journalist. It's a three-month-old G4 500mhz, with CDRW, 384MB RAM.

Re: MD: Net MD (slightly OT)
My son is a teacher at a private school. This year they gave all of the teacher's Ibook Titaniums. He had a problem with it and I tried to help over the phone. But I'm not Apple literate. We couldn't understand why the school bought Apples and even the entire system in the school is Apples. Apple must have given them a real break. We were trying to think what is was about Apple that makes some people like Apple so much. I said that I guess it is very stable (anyone who has used a PC with Windows for a day had to have it freeze one them at least a few times). Just when I said that, his Apple notebook froze.

Re: MD: Net MD (slightly OT)
Apple gives huge breaks on both software and hardware for schools, studends and teachers. so i would guess that is a lot of the reason, not that they want the students using an os that they will use in the real world ;) We couldn't understand why the school bought Apples and even the entire system in the school is Apples.
