MD: SCMS question
Last night I made a compilation CD on a Pioneer twin deck recorder for a mate of mine, using a number of Minidisc tracks. The first few were ANALOGUE copies of MD's as the MD's were digital copies of the original CD. The last few were digital copies (bringing my Sony MZ-1 out of retirement and using its digital output to feed into the CD deck! I KNEW it would come in useful one day!), as the source was an MD recording of an analogue tape Once having compiled this I thought 'Hmmm, I'll make a copy of this for myself', and put the new CD (a mixture of analogue and digital tracks) into the CD recorder, and managed to copy it all to a blank CD. My question is because the first few tracks were analogue copies of the MD, the burner was quite happy to record these, but I was surprised the last few were allowed as these were digital copies of the MD. When does the SCMS check get done? At the start of the disc or at the start of each track? If its the start of the disc, the analogue tracks seem to have let the digital ones slip through. The only alternative I can think of is that the CD recorder switched to an analogue copy for the last few tracks? Sorry if I've not explained this very well, but anyone got any ideas?

MD: Sony MiniDisc advert circa 1996
Hi Ornette, If I remember correctly the track was 'I want you' by the Inspiral Carpets Martin == Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2001 16:15:13 +0100 From: Ornette Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MD: Sony MiniDisc advert circa 1996 Hello. I am trying to get an ID for a song featured in a Sony MiniDisc advert from 1996/97. The advert features a man speeding down an open road (in America or something). As for the song, its sort of a modern rock sounding tune. The lyrics go something like: Noone ever said it was gonna be easy...

MD: USB Power
Hi everyone, Howard Chu wrote: USB and power: USB only supplies 5V @ 500mA max per device. Fine for keyboards and mice, but nowhere near enough to run a printer or scanner, so forget that issue. I hope I'm not misinterpreting your comment Howard, but my Canon scanner connected to my laptop works just this way, its a CanoScan N1220U http://consumer.usa.canon.com/scanners/csn1220u/index.html , and has one USB cable that supplies power and is the data connection. This may well mean it runs slower than wall-socket powered devices, but lack of access to power points made this a good choice for me when I got it. Admittedly this is about the only scanner on the market that DOES work this way, but it seems like it is possible.

MD: Analogue copy of CDR
Hi everyone, My Dad is going to borrow a 'Music' CD-R of a Bing Crosby album, which he wants to copy onto MD using his MXD-D3. Now if I've got this right, the original was a CD, copied onto 'music' CD-R on a Traxdata home hi-fi deck. Therefore the CD-R will have SCMS on it to prevent another digital copy? If so, he'll need to do an analogue copyif this is the case, will the analogue copy have track marks etc. or will my Dad need to do this himself afterwards?

MD: How times change.
Hi everyone, I know this may not be a piece of particularly useful information in the days of R900's etc., but in Curry's (a large chain of electrical shops here in the UK) in Beckton, East London, they are selling Sony LIP-12 batteries for £5 (about $7.50). Now I know that these days its only the Sony R30 and Kenwood G7 (or something like that) owners that this would interest. But considering that these batteries were going for about TEN times that price a few years ago, I was just a bit surprised.

MD: TOS Link Stupid Question
Hi Everyone, This may sound a bit of a basic question, but my Toshiba DVD player has an optical output (Toslink I think it is). Anyway, is it possible to connect this to an MD portable recorder via a toslink/mini jack-style optical cable? If so, are there concerns about sample rate conversion etc..? Or is it impossible? If so, what do you use the optical output for? I hope I've explained myself well enough, any help gratefully received.

MD: Sony R91 in T3
Hi everyone, The latest issue of UK gadget magazine T3 has an excellent review of the Sony R91. And almost as if the reviewer had been reading the recent topic of 'can Minidisc survive?' (maybe he has!), he comments that while there seems to be such a hoo-hah about MP3, Memory stick walkmen etc.. while Sony keep knocking out things like the R91 that are fairly cheap, stylish, good battery life, cheap media etc..he finds it strange that more media attention isn't given to this sort of technology. Mind you someone on one of the lists made a very good point that perhaps BECAUSE MD is such an established product now in the UK, that there isn't such a kerfuffle every time a new portable comes out. Even my Dad (who is 67) took the plunge recently and got an MXD-D3 from Richer sounds! His comment after playing around with it for a few days was along the lines of "I wish we'd had these 30 years ago".

MD: Latest issue of T3
In the latest issue, a report from the CES show: "Conspicuous by its absence from most CES stands this year, good old Minidisc only really showed its face in the Sony hall. Launching a handful of MD portables, Sony had to admit that while the digital recording format had taken hold of Europe, it had all but died a death in the US of A" Well I hope this is just some magazine hack looking for a headline! I can't imagine Sony owning up to that anyway...would they?

MD: Minidisc.com
Hi everyone, Wandering round the sales with the missus yesterday, we cut round the back of Oxford Street through Great Marlborough Street. Halfway down I saw the 'MiniDisc.com' shop that was on the MDCP the other week. It was closed, but looked quite flashy...and get this! Guess who's next door?? Sony Music's offices!! Coincidence or not??
