Re: MD: digital recording techniques
Thanks Alexander could you just clarify for me.. Can I title my tracks with the PC sound card ? That would make a big difference in my decission to but one or splash out on a new CD player ( with digital output ). (I know I still can't title but at least I get something more for my money than yet another sound card ). ( nearly went OTT at the weekend, thought about going for a DVD with optical digital output. 2 birds, one stone, small fortune ). Alternatively, what do you people think about the Sharp MD/3xCD combo unit? I forget the model number but I guess its well known. How about Sony equivalents? (I think the Sharp doesn't display your MD track titles ).

What would you recomend for digital recordings ? 1. PC sound card with digital o/p 2. integrated CD/MD hifi separate (seems funny using those two words in the same phrase, but you know what I mean). 3. CD player with digital o/p. 4. any others CD player with digital outputs gets my vote because its what I use, but there is a lot of discussion at present about using soundcards with digital outputs. I'd like to get a digital in/out soundcard, but there are some issues that keep me from buying one: 1. No track marks 2. No Linux drivers 3. Effectively no SCMS control (but I don't really care) Until these are remedied, I'm happy with my CD player's digital out.

RE: MD: digital recording techniques
No, there isn't a sound card out there which passes on track titles (it's not something that happens through S/PDIF interfaces). The only way you can achieve that is if you have something that either transmits the info via infra-red or otherwise through Sony's funky S-link connection. In all honesty, the only reasons why you would want to get a digital I/O soundcard are: 1) Recording mp3's to MD 2) Dumping MD's to PC for some post-production processing and then dumping back to MD if so desired. At least, they're the 2 reasons why I use such a beastie.

Excellent! I've only been thinking about getting into MDs for a week now and already I'm an MDSpotter. Guess I'll need one of those capes I've been hearing about. Okay, so no PC bay drive gizmo.

Anyone seen 'The Matrix' ? I swear Neo hands his 'friend' a minidisc with computer data on it. Just a film stunt, or is there more to it ? Go to the top of the MDSpotters class you sad, sad boy.
