Re: MD: help! dropouts!!
Dunno but it sounds a bit like the "stuttering" problem I had with my Sony 520 recently. The discs which were recorded on the 520 played fine on another MD player but on the 520 they stopped and started in a stuttering manner and the timer stopped and started with them. The problem is absolutely consistent on repeat plays of the "faulty" disc. Opinions on md-I varied from dust to bad discs to laser misalignment to a damaged laser... and through it in the bin. At first I suspected Maxell discs but it happened on an Arita as well and it seemed too much of a co-incidence. Brought it back into Richer Sounds here in Ireland who sent it to Sony who cleaned it and sent it back today "no fault found"... it remains to be seen. I'm pretty sure it's not the discs cos I filled the balance of the disc, then deleted the offending section and re-recorded.. no problem. Dunno if that's any help... maybe it's just a bit of dust... you might be lucky. - Original Message - From: Jeff Rodenkirch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 17, 2000 06:16 Subject: MD: help! dropouts!! > > I did a live mix for Univision (spanish language network), gave them a feed > (which dumped) and did a backup on my MZR50.

Re: MD: 520 stuttering - update
David W. Tamkin asked: >Had you previously used these discs as cloning targets? If not, then it seems the discs just have bad spots, but the E33 doesn't seem to mind them and just plays right through, perhaps going silent for an instant as it goes over the bad spot and finds no data there. Thanks for the comment David. No, these were new discs out of the wrappers. I'm hoping you're right about the discs.

MD: Sony MZ-R50, MZ-R55 - No more SCMSing around?
I'm thinking of buying an R50 to dub MD's from my Sony 520, cos I heard somewhere that the R50 could be hacked to disable SCMS. Is this true and how do you do it? Does it apply to the R55 or any other portables? Does it only (presumably) work if you record TO the R50 rather than from it? And finally, what ATRAC version are the R50 and R55?

In fact, for $249 plus shipping, you can by the MDS-JE630 from Wholesale Connection, which I would highly recommend. The 630 has the keyboard input for a PC keyboard, so you can easily enter titles, and it has the S-Link connector, too. > > I would steer away from Crutchfield.

MD: Useless MD-Data drive
This may be a daft question but if you put an audio MD into a data MD drive, will it read it? If so, can you transfer audio tracks from your data drive to your PC hard disk? This would be useful for backup purposes - and for trading (tracks as email attachments, or on streamer tapes). I don't suppose anyone has ever come across a PC version of the ATRAC decoder? ...or encoder for that matter? (I just know someone is going to say "Yes...they call it MP3"). - Original Message - > From: Shawn R.

Do I = understand that you're calculating the equivalent space required to = store a certain duration of music on MD (in ATRAC compression - which = would you agree is superior quality to MP3 @ 160kb/s?) compared to the = computer disk space required to store the same music at 160kb/s MP3 = compression? Looking at it another way, AFAIK the actual data storage capacity of an = MD is ~170Mb. Comparing this to your figures, theoretically it would be = possible to store nearly twice the standard 74min of music on an MD at a = "160 kb/s" quality - much more at lower qualities. =20 === MIME part removed : text/html; === - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
