Re: MD: MP3 downloading via NetMD
Memo from John H Rolt of PricewaterhouseCoopers Start of message text Quoting: Dan Frakes [EMAIL PROTECTED] The thing that makes me worry about NetMD is that if the above is true (you need software to do the conversion), MiniDisc will become platform-dependent. That is, in order to be able to use NetMD, you need software written for your computing platform. .. I hope they take their proverbial heads out of their proverbial behinds and make sure that they make this new format/feature available to everyone. Totally. I really want to be able easily to edit my own recordings between MD and the new Mac (the one I intend to get RSN) - and back. Meanwhile (going slightly off-topic into the picture domain), I still have no easy way of transferring still pictures from my (new) Sony camcorder to my (old, non-USB) Mac; the supplied software (Picture Gear Lite) works nicely on Windows but of course not on any Mac. (Anyone know of software which will?). Speaking of which (the camera), you'd think I'd know better after so many burnt fingers (my own included) with 'End Search' on MD - that lovely new camera over-wrote some of our holiday video yesterday because I forgot to press its 'End Search' button.

MD: MD adoption vs MP3 etc
Memo from John H Rolt of PricewaterhouseCoopers
Start of message text
Hi all
Just occurs to me that one possible factor for USA having adopted MP3
rather than MD, but the other way round here in the UK, is our slowness in
getting broadband internet available. This means that we don't have the
same convenient access to Napster et al (unless for instance we download
MP3s at work through a high-speed connection). So we put up with real-time
transfer from CDs etc. to our beloved MD, and reap the quality benefits
while we're at it.
Never thought I'd say it, but thanks British Telecom!
Just my 2d worth (that's old pence).
Regards, John ('scuse corporate gibberish)

Re: MD: multiple deck connections

Re: MD: md-l-mimedigest V2 #875
Memo from John H Rolt of PricewaterhouseCoopers Start of message text From: Ivica Petrovic [EMAIL PROTECTED] is there any MD based bookshelf, mini system, micro system, or home decks with a Microphone Input in it? And it must be readily available, of course, something still producing by the MD manufacturers ( don't advised me into some sort of prehistory machine, please)! Ivica I was looking in the UK for something similar last year, as my wife wants something similar for her classroom music teaching. I found some mini units with mic input - however, they were mainly in grotesque (IMO) "teenager's bedroom style" with lots of buttons and flashy lights and more importantly only seemed to have mono recording via the mic (presumably for "karaoke" recording). So take care to get what you want and beware the snake oil "sales executives" who probably won't know! Regards ..

I don't know if they supply outside UK but they are good and reliable here. It's on my Xmas present list but I'd be interested to know if anyone else has tried one and can comment? Regards ..

Re: MD: md-l-mimedigest V2 #728
Memo from John H Rolt of PricewaterhouseCoopers Start of message text 1 Mike Rosenlof ([EMAIL PROTECTED] asked: Does anybody have a favorite bag/case for carrying an MD player plus microphones, earphones, and a couple of discs? Mics are sound little cardoid types, player is a sharp 722 if all of that matters. I'd like something that offers a little protection plus pockets or compartments to keep things organized... I use a case from Case Logic (see http://www.casedirect.com/home.asp ) which I bought from MVC. It's just the right size for my MZ-R30 and a few discs. But before I found that I bought one of their cassette cases which had more room - could be handy depending on the size of the mic. 2 Other topics: I'm following the CD vs MD vs MP3 with interest - personally I'm still hooked on vinyl but they take a lotta room and I wouldn't let my children touch them .. any other (classic) vinyl junkies out there? I bought my JE520 deck from a guy who had high end (mostly Linn) audio and couldn't cope with the quality reduction of MD - his loss, my gain at GBP50 (but I'm still not chucking out the vinyl)! 3 Lastly, my tongue is hanging out till I can afford a scale factor edit deck (may be a long while) - I do a lot of legit recording of live choral and instrumental concerts and would really *lurve* to be able to edit down the noise of applause between numbers without actually removing (all of) it. Please excuse all the copyright blurb (if you can't edit it off, Rick?).

They were in Staines but have since moved to West Drayton, near Heathrow phone 020 8283 2700. I would go straight to them now if I had a prob with a MD component.

Re: MD: portable MD with mic recording?
Hi all! My wife's a music teacher and needs a portable (not personal) MD system to be able to replay CDs and MD to classes and individuals - so far, so good. But she also needs to be able to make reasonable quality, stereo recordings of her pupils' performances. We can't find a boombox or mini/micro system (if the latter, we would have to be able to strap it together to move it from room to room) on sale in UK with this facility. One answer would be a MD-compatible system with a separate portable, but this would be more vulnerable to being "lifted", possibly more expensive and less convenient. Can anyone advise on a suitable system or have I missed something (eg can one record via a mic into the line input? If so, what sort of mic?). It does seem dumb to me that with MD so brilliant for live recording so few units (other than portables) have stereo mic inputs! Thanks and regards, John Rolt.
