Hope this helps, Jerry Jerry, Can you give us some information (if you have any) on how the titling works with MP3's (if at all?) This would be my primary application for Winremote, and I'd hate to invest in it if it didn't preform this function. Thanks!

I must yet see the first soundcard that sends out track-marks. BTW have you tried the following: - Push record on the F70. - Play track1 on PC and STOP the player after it's ended. - The F70 should now start a new track! - Play track2 on PC and STOP the player after it's ended. - The F70 should now start a new track! etc. NB: if your soundcard has a continues S/PDIF output, this doesn't work. Apparently, my soundcard has a continuous S/PDIF output. But, from what I've heard about the MZ-90, it can detect 2 seconds of silence in digital mode as well as analog, and that might do the tracks correctly?

What about somehow getting the sound card to briefly stop emitting the S/PDIF signal (i.e. turning digital output off and on again)? I'll bet the AM-F70 will start a new track after it loses digital input sync. New observation: When there is silence, the MD will actually pause between getting tracks. It will not actually make a track mark, however. So, if I record 10 seconds of digital silence, I can not hear that silence later as the MD paused itself. So why is it not going to the next track? The Sync and Automark are on (I'm trying this again as I type, and reading the settings of the MD player.) Even if I pause the music for 20-30 seconds, then resume, it stays on the same track. Even if I stop the digital output, so the MD player reads "No signal", then start it back up, the MD player stays on the same track. This is _not_ right. Is there something wrong with my MD player? If I pull the Toslink cable out, then it makes a new track when pulled out, then another when put back in. Note: On a sharp 702 player, this whole digital synch recording works perfectly. That's why I asked about the Sony MZ-90. Maybe it behaves... -Jim - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: Problems with Aiwa FM-70 and digital recording
Greetings. I'm trying to record music to my FM-70 from a computer source (TOSlink output from a Turtle Beach Montego II Digital), and am having difficulty. The problem is this: When recording mp3's, regardless of whether I put a space of up to 5 seconds of silence inbetween tracks or not, the MD will not place track marks. Right now, I've tried it with all the signals from my computer muted, except for the wav output and Toslink output. The MD is set to synchro record, and auto track marking. I'm not quite sure what to do at this point...so any help would be appreciated. Jim - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The description of AUTO MARK in the F70 manual says that it listens for
resumption after silence only when it is recording analog input. For digital
input, AUTO MARK means to follow the track marking information in the input,
which, when you play computer files out through a soundcard, is nonexistent.

you're out of luck. For now you know your options: make an analog transfer
with silence between tracks, make a digital transfer and later separate the
tracks manually, or transfer one track at a time while you pause the recorder
between tracks.
Due to a stroke of luck (or something along those lines) the place
where I bought my MD player from advertised that they would let you "Trade
up" your player within 2 years (given, you pay for the extended warantee
replacement) and receive the _full purchase price_ of your player towards
a new one.
This place is getting the MZ-90 very soon. Should I drop the
extra $100 or $150 and replace my F70 with this unit? And can it handle
automarking my digital source correctly?
Thanks for info again...
Whips and Kisses,
