Re: MD: Advice on Inexpensive MDR for Field?
I just got my first MD - a 'basic' model - Sharp MD MT90 and use it mainly for recording band rehearsals. Mostly I use the 'mono' record mode that doubles the length of recording time (not as long as MDLP, of course) and the sound quality is excellent. No time stamp, but that could be part of your manually entered titling. What I most like about it is the ease of recording - a single button to start, so that you don't have to burrow down through layers of menu items to start. I believe Minidisco.com has it on sale for about $135 or so. Good luck on your trip!

Re: MD: . where do *you* like to use minidisc
I just got a Sharp MT90 to record rehearsals and gigs for our steel orchestra. I'm kinda slow so recording them, marking the tracks, and then deleting the dead space helps in practicing at home. Haven't moved into CD compilations yet. Stilson - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: Choice between Aiwa AM-F70 and Sharp MD-MT90
Great list. Wish I had more technical expertise, but it's enjoyable. Now for a change of pace? It's a long, boring story that has no point except I have the choice between and ONLY between the Sharp MD-MT90 and the Aiwa AM-F70 and I'm not sure about which one to choose. I have no other choices (the long story) so, please, if you respond, please don't recommend other units. My main usage will be live recording: the rehearsals and gigs of our Caribbean steel band, consisting only of steel drums and a drum set. (any suggestions on microphones - they don't have to be concealable). Secondary usage will be recording meetings and/or interviews. Tertiary usage will be the main one most people buy MDs for: transferring recorded music to play 'out there.' I like the Automatic Level Control of the Aiwa for speech, and the Sharp doesn't have that. I like the bass boost of the Sharp for live music and the Aiwa doesn't have that. Anyone have any experience they'd care to share, about quality or reliability or whatever?

Re: MD: MD to mp3
Yes. I recorded my band's concert on MD, fed the analog signal into my computer sound card and saved it as a *.wav file. I used the sound editing program that came with my CD burning sofware (Nero 5.5) to shorten the times between songs and burned a CD. The same program will convert *.wav files to MP3 and burn it to CD, too. Nero: http://www.ahead.de If you just want some sound conversion programs, try TUCOWS, a treasure trove of shareware software: http://tucows.tierranet.com/mmedia/audiocon95.html Good luck! - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2001 1:57 AM Subject: MD: MD to mp3 > > Is it possible to convert songs recorded on MDs to mp3s?

Re: MD: Sony ECM-MS957 mic

Re: MD: Sony ECM-MS957 mic
I'm new to MD and to the list. The main reason I got my MD was to record the steel orchestra I play in, both rehearsals and gigs, so I'm also looking for a decent affordable mic. Since this is an all percussion band (with a wide frequency range) would any of these mics serve? And, not to appear too stupid, but being a newbie here, I am pretty ignorant: what brands of mics are these and are there any links available?
