 Subject: MD: Are there any other titling options?



  Anyone know of other easier ways to title a minidisc?
  I love my minidisc player, but titling letter by
  letter by letter gets old real quick.  The MDS-PC2 may
  be too expensive for me to buy.   Any other options?

 You should look at my www pages:
 http://www.czechin.com/minidisc

 There are some titling project which allow you to title
 MD from computer (there are also database application
 which is able to print MD labels).

 Windows version of MD titler (HW and SW) cost
 about $50 USD.

 DOS version is free.

MD: anyone have a car md player?

1999-11-11 Thread Steve Riley


hello all, just seeing if anyone has or can suggest a good
car md player/md changer controller.  ive got one of those
double slots, so i was thinking of putting either a md player
deck and a 3 cd changer or some kind of other configuration.
i was also curious to see if any of them can control two
changers, ie a cd and a md changer.

RE: MD: Survey

1999-11-01 Thread Steve Riley


 well, i have around 300 cd's, and so far 15 md's,
 most of which are blank.  i really like the 80 minute
 prisms, they sound good to me.  essentially what ill
 be using md for is making mix md's, both from winamp
 and its crossfader plug-in and directly from a mixer
 hooked into a set of turntables.  probably will do a
 little recording too of some bands i work with.  
 essentially i went with mds because of the flexibility,
 and with my own forays into djing i thought itd be
 a good transfer medium for mixes and stuff.  but i
 dont plan on buying premastered md's and i dont
 think they're a particular idea.  it seems to be
 md's are being used by the more audiophile type of
 folks, who know how to move audio around and make
 their own mixes.  so it doesnt matter to me that
 most of america hasnt caught on.  their loss.

RE: MD: PC to MD interface projects

1999-10-31 Thread Steve Riley




if someone could get together a titler for a mz-r55 that would seriously
rock.  theres a nice plug in for winamp
too that can interact with one, so if someone does manage to put one
together im all over that.

 I've just finished building one for about £8 and I'm now to write a
 Windows9x driver for it. Here's a hint: don't waist money on
 relays when a
 4067 chip can provide the signal driving you need! It can be
 powered from
 the parallel port and will drive 16 buttons from 4 data line
 inputs. All you
 do then is link various resistors up to the outputs so they
 contact across
 pins 2 and 4 of the remote. If you're really sneaky, you can
 read the data
 from pins 1 and 3 to get titles etc back into the PC too!

  I was about to start building the MZ-R55 to PC parallel
 port interface as
  detailed on Bazza's page until the grown-up that I'd
 enlisted to do the
  actual work pointed out it was going to cost over 50 Pounds for the
  electronics components alone! (mainly the SPDT relays and
 transistors, 10
  each). I've paused to consider other ways first...
 
  Now then, I've had a peek at Thomas Meier's "Title-Aid" for Sharp
 portables
  and he manages to build a similarly functioning PC
 interface for about 10
  Dollars!! http://www.ncc-mannheim.net/user/meierth/MD70X.HTML
 
  Can anyone comment on if/how the Thomas Meier solution
 could be adapted
 for
  the Sony MZ-R55?
 
  Thanks,
  John

nah, thats what i did, its just one of the older discman (discmen?) models
that doesnt have an optical out.  must
be just an analog out or something.  how disappointing.

 make sure you're using the discman while it's plugged into
 an AC adaptor.  I've heard a few things about optical being
 turned off while in battery mode.  Not sure if this is the case
 with all portables, but worth looking into.  You might be able
 to fool it if you run from battery but have the adapter plugged
 in at the same time.  that last one was just a guess, I've
 never tried it.

 good luck, and let us know what happens

 The analogue output of the SB Live! has been tested and approved to be
 much better sounding than old ISA-cards like the SB16: There have
 been huge improvements in the soundcard-quality and nearly all of
 today's decent soundcards have a very good frequency response and
 high signal to noise ratios etc. If you like this sound is a different
 thing, but technically, it's superior...
