MD: MD confusion
Hey again, I didn't really get my questions answered--can anyone on this thing help me? I want to use my computer burner to make CD's of my personal MD mixes. I need to know if I can hook up a MD deck to my SB Live soundcard (it has SPDIF in/out) digitally, is there such a cable to purchase? I don't want to have to buy a whole deck if it's not possible (right now my only option is to record the tracks manually as WAV files through the generic input on the back of the card (because my MZ-R55 doesn't have have digital out)--this takes forever and I don't think the quality's retained) or too complicated. My next question, if it is indeed possible, is whether or not there's software out there that can automatically record my track marks (as I'm ripping the tracks from the MD onto computer for burning) so that when I burn it to CD, I have the same tracks on the burned CD (don't care about titles)?

Re: MD: MD confusion
=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === I believe it safe to say that if your MD player does not have a digital output, there would probably be no analog-digital converter cable. I'm afraid that, at the moment, the only suggestion I have would be to take the original CDs whose tracks you originally burned to the MD, and recreate your mix that way.

Re: MD: MD confusion
Roger [to whom I am also sending a direct copy, because apparently he is on the digest-mode distribution] asked, | I need to know if I can hook up a MD deck to my SB Live | soundcard (it has SPDIF in/out) digitally, is there such a cable to | purchase? There are three kinds of interfaces for S/PDIF. My guess is that the sound- card's end is coaxial. If the MD deck has coaxial digital output, just con- nect a single (preferably video grade) RCA-type cable between them. If the MD deck's digital output is TOSlink (or if it is an optical minijack, but I've never heard of that on a deck), you'll need an optical-to-electrical converter between it and the soundcard, plus whatever kind of optical cable will connect the MD deck to the converter (probably TOSlink-to-TOSlink) and a coaxial cable to go from the converter to the soundcard.. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
