It's happened again with a different disk. It doesn't happen very often at
all though (perhaps 4s of skipping on a disk; not at repeatable points on
the disk even.

 Does it happen with one or all discs you put in there?  If the first, try
 erasing and re-recording the disc and see if you still have the problem.
If
 the latter, definitely get the thing repaired.

 My Sony MZ-R900 (about 4 months) old started skipping yesterday; playing
an
 LP2 disc while the recorder was stationary.  It sounded just like a
 scratched/dirty CD, but resolved when I skipped back to the start of the
 track.
 
 Is this likely to happen again, should I get the unit checked/repaired?
 
 Thanks,
 
 Tim Pitman

MD: Cheap MZ-E60 Players In Australia

2001-10-06 Thread Tim Pitman


Myer, An Australian shop currently has the MZ-E60 Minidisc Player for
Australian$199, which seems to be a very good price!  I bought a blue one
here in Hobart (nice rainbow effect on the outside of the case) but they
have silver as well.  No LP mode, but otherwise a bargain!

 Hey there guys...

 i've just got myself a Sony MZ-R900 portable MD recorder and i'm
finding
 titling with the
 little jog dials quite a pain. does anybody know of any equipment or
 method of titling via
 the pc for portables? i've searched around and there seem to be those for
 decks via IR, but
 no sign of any for portables.

 thanks :)

Thanks for the tip. I do, however, have the latest drivers and have service

 Do you have the latest drivers?

  I've recently purchased a Leadtek Winfast 4X soundcard with optical in
and
  out for MD use.  This soundcard is based on the Cmedia 8738 chipset.
 
  After installation, analogue output works fine, however digital output
  doesn't, and almost all SPDIF options in the advanced section of the
mixer
  are greyed out.  I'm running Windows 2000.
 
  Has anyone here had this problem?

Announcing MiniDisc Control Center!

from your computer.  The program uses an interface that connects the
parallel (printer) port of your computer to the remote control port of the
mini disc unit.   Most functions of the recorder can be controlled from the
computer, including titling and full recording from Winamp.

To find out more, see http://www.southcom.com.au/~tpitman/

MD: Earphones

2001-06-27 Thread Tim Pitman


Thanks to all the people who replied to my post concerning earphones for use
with a portable MD player.  This week I received my Sennheiser MX500
earphones that I had on order at a local shop.  These earphones sound really
good, and are a bargain for the $40 (that's Australia$, only $20 US).  There
is an amazing difference between the sound of these new earphones and the
ones that came with my MZR-900.  Deeper base, clearer trebble, and a more
natural sound.  I definitely recommend these Sennheisers from portable MD
use.

Re: MD: Mironics computer interface

2001-06-20 Thread Tim Pitman


The differences between the commercial version and the DIY version of the
interface only affect the volume buttons (the DIY one uses and 8 way
analogue multiplexer, allowing only 8 possible functions)

I've had a fair bit of programming experience, including directly
programming the paralell port under DOS, and serial port under Windows, so I
might have a go at writing my own titling program.  It would really be
helpful if Mironics did offer an ActiveX interface though.  Is there someone
on this list who could help with a Winamp plugin, or any others who would
like to help?

Thanks to those who replied about my track mark insertion query.  To
overcome the problem of track marks when copying music from the computer,
and to enable titling, I have constructed the computer link specified on the
Mironics web site http://www.mironics.com  It cost about $15 in parts, and
now I'm trying to decide whether to try and write my own software, or buy
theirs for $80.  (I'm in Australia; Au$)  Has anyone here used their product
who could provide me with some advice?

I've just purchased a Sony MZR-900 and would like to buy some better
earphones for it.  I'd really like some that are comfortable, and with good
sound.  I currently have some old Sony ones that are really comfortable, but
don't sound too good, some groove ones that came with a discman 3 years ago
that sound good, but aren't very comfortable, and the ones that came with
the 900 which are somewhere inbetween.  Any sudgestions?
