Re: MD: copy protection question - NSync CD is copy protection experiment
You probably won't like this either, but there you go... http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns1367 Copying using home CD recorders is variable, with the US CD giving a no disk message on some recorders. When the digital output from a CD player is connected to the digital input of Philips CD recorder, or Sony Mini Disc recorder, the German disc gives the error message Copy Prohibit or Cannot Copy. hrmmm if this is standard smcs copy protection, i really dont care, i have a stripper. however it probably will annoy others that do not. However if it's some other schema that we dont know about then they are just evil...wait the riaa is evil anyway oh yeah on a side note, has anyone purchased a cd (from a mainstream band) within let's just say the last 5 years, that you actually enjoyed every track on the cd? out of the many many that i have purchased, i can honestly say that i have less than a dozen that i could listen to every track and be pleased. so maybe it's not all the riaa's fault, maybe artists should stop making crap too :) just my 2 cents on that one. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
re: MD: Sony PC-Link with a Mac?
Eric Ivanoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've had my Sony MZ-R70 for about six months, really like it. I've been recording Mp3's off of my Mac through the computers' analog sound-out jack. My MD came with the Sony PC Link - but when I first brought it home and tried it nothing happened. I assumed that it's one of those Mac non-compatibility issues and never looked into it further. Now I found this list and I was wondering if one of you experienced MiniDisc guru's know of a fix for me - Mac drivers? I realize this is SUCH a newbie question, but I can't find info elsewhere. Thanks in advance for your input. MR-R70 or 700? I'm assuming that your PC Link is simply a rebadged Xitel unit? As long as you have Mac OS 9.0.4 or later, you should just be able to hook the PC Link up to one of your Mac's USB ports, select USB in the Audio Out section of the Sound control panel, and record away. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Intro MZ-R700 and D vs. A recording
Hi Brian, One of the things I'm psyched about is the non-analog recording ability brought by the Xitel dongle. I'm assuming, however, that the R700 has the ability to record in analog, as well, tho, correct? Is there any functional difference between digital and analog recording? Will, for example, the recorder not be able to put in track marks in analog mode? I've updated the FAQ to answer your questions: http://www.minidisc.org/minidisc_faq.html#analogrecording Where's a good place to buy blank MDs? I've read a couple of articles (probably on minidisc.org [md.o?]) that suggest there's no real difference in quality of the various media, so I guess it boils down to price. The only places I can think of in town to buy 'em (Phoenix) is Best Buy and Fry's Electronics. I'm assuming there're good on-line vendors, but where? Someone just told me about STI blanks for $1.20 from Circuit City, see today's (10/4) minidisc.org news. Has anyone tried these STI discs? I've never heard of them.

Re: MD: Making 2 or 4 hours recordings
From my own experience I can have made many FM-broadcast recordings on my JVC HiFi VHS recorder. It works great, but it is not very convenient for playback. Later I record the tape to my MD-deck and do the editing. Besides that, VHS tape is not the best type of storage in the long run. Older tapes deteriote and MD doesn't have that problem. The big advantage of this system is that I can record radio using the timer of the video. I've even used VHS HiFi to record internet radio broadcasts (my computer is connected to my stereo). This solves storage problems for people with smaller hard drives. It's cheaper to buy a cable than a bigger hard drive. The recorded MD sounds as good as the original broadcast. HiFi VHS (in single play mode) is so good, that you can't tell the difference between the broadcast and the recording. I think this is the most underused feature of HiFi VHS recorders. And the biggest problem now is that on cheaper models the manufacturers leave out the audio in sockets. But if you're in the market for buying a new VHS machine, make sure it has audio in. It is a feature you'll love! iMark - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Sharp Playback Problems
David Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've been having a problem with my Sharp MD-MT161. When I play back a disc I have recorded I often get places on the disc where playback seems to pause, sometimes for several seconds. It will then resume. I suppose it is like skipping but it happens at the same point on the disc every time. I was wondering if it was a problem with the discs (maxell) but I have heard a whisper that this problem has occurred with other Sharp units. It sounds like your machine is getting read errors. Try playing the disc in a different unit, to isolate whether your machine or the recording is at fault. On Sony machines at least, when the time indicator does not advance that indicates that the machine is getting errors reading the disc.

When I bought them in May, they were $US 1.40 (actually, $34.95 for a box of twenty-five [with slip cases]); they were briefly on sale for $29.95 (which would be $1.198 per disc) but last I checked in the store, the price had risen back to $34.95. The web site has them for $29.95 again today (just my luck that they're never on sale when I have a need for more blanks). They're labeled with the brand name DigitalMedia with no space. They seem fine, which is more than I can say for STI's CDRWs. I've used about eight from that box so far with no problems except that the narrow labels for the edges tend to curl off. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: MD: Sony PC Link with a Mac
Yeah, I have OS 9.1, soon to have OS X.1 ... I've never done the select USB in the Audio Out section of the sound control panel thing - it never occurred to me because on the PC it just popped right up, and I've never used another USB device where this would apply. I'm still new to my Mac too, actually. Thanks tons for the responses - Such a simple thing to miss and I assumed so quickly that it was just useless (the PC link) ;) I'm going to try it out straight-away when I get home today. I feel loads better about using the USB versus the non-optical audio-out. Thnx! Eric - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Making 2 or 4 hours recordings
Using a VCR with one of the older Sony or Denon PCM adapters works well. I used this for several years recording a 2-Hour FM program weekly using the timer in the VCR even while on holiday. In VHS, only SP is really satisfactory, and only T-120 tapes are rugged enough to be reliable. VCRs are cheap now and the PCM video is robust, so rigging two or more VCRs to take two hours each seriatim should present no serious problem. I have several Sonys and could be persuaded to part with one or two, but there used to be one every week or so on eBay going for low prices. The Sony PCM 10, F1, 501 701 should do fine and be cheaper than the digital I/O models 100 601. Hope this helps.

Re: MD: MD v DAT
I have a portable DAT and MD. I much prefer the MD due to editing capablities. You have to sit with your finger on the DAT's pause button if you want to edit out commercials while recording, you can not edit out unwanted material latter like you can with MD. There is a way. Use Skip IDs. The material is still there, but the DAT deck fast-forwards past it during later playback. __ Do You Yahoo!? NEW from Yahoo!
