MD: MZ-R90 not writing TOC

2001-10-18 Thread Steven Kramer


My MZ-R90 has apparently stopped writing the TOC.  When I record, it appears
to record correctly.  When it is done, I can back through the tracks and
sometimes play them, but when  I hit stop twice or remove the MD, the track
info is gone and declares the disc to be blank.  The disc also reads blank
in my 940 deck.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

 On the topic of MD cases, I have been looking all over for an armband case
to use while commuting with my Kenwood DMC-J7R.  So far, I have not been
successful in finding one.

 Any suggestions?  Thanks.

RE: MD: Getting MD output into an OEM Car CD player

 No, they have not, and in some areas (like around Boston, MA) they are
 totally useless as the FM band is saturated.

Actually, I have to disagree.  I have had the Sony RM-X69RF FM RF modulator
in my car in use with MDX-65 for a couple of years now and it works
flawlessly.  I am in the Boston area and have no problem with drift or
interference from local radio stations.  This device is different from the
cheapies you place on the passenger seat.  It is wired into the antenna and
has plenty of power to override local radio stations.  I have travelled to
other cities including NYC and Toronto and have never needed to change the
frequency that it is tuned to.  Since, it comes in through FM it is
obviously limited by that, but in a car with engine and road noise the lack
of fidelity is not very important to me.

RE: MD: sec: unclassified LP to MD

2001-05-04 Thread Steven Kramer


Well, I've tried a number of solutions.  They all work more or less.
However, in order to remove noise, they necessarily distort the music to
some degree.  My feeling is that unless the records are in very bad shape,
it is better to leave them alone.

The most important thing you can do is properly clean the records.  A large
part of the noise comes from dust on the surface.  Nitty Gritty makes
devices that use fluids to clean and then vacuum the record.  These can make
a huge difference, but are a bit pricey if your collections is small.

CoolEdit (http://www.syntrillium.com/) can remove impulse noises and general
hiss and does an okay job.  DartPro (http://www.dartpro.com) is designed
specifically for record restoration, but is also a bit pricey.  They both
have demo programs available, so give them a try.  But first clean your
records.

 Gidday All
 With all this talk of Vinyl it's about time I copied my small
 collection of
 LPs to MD.  What's the opinion on the best (and free  :-)) software to
 reduce the clicks, pops and general noise?

 Many thanks

 Kev

RE: MD: Real Audio

2000-05-19 Thread Steven Kramer


 anyway what got me is the refering to saving "real audio" files
 to your md.
 ummm dumb question but why would you wanna do that?  I'm basically curious
 as to why anyone would want to do this as the quality would be basically
 horid..

I do it all the time for NPR talk and news to listen to at the gym.  So
sound quality is not really an issue.
