All the stuff that the MDS-PCx decks attempt to do and more! USB could even supply the modest power requirements of a portable recorder, offering a true one-cable solution! And the small size of the USB connector would only be a modest imposition on portability. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MD: transfer to/from PC...
I have seen many in the Discussion Board regarding cliks, pops, buzzes, etc. when transfering PC audio to/from MD. I've experienced periodic problems myself. The problem stems from the fact that Windows has a very difficult time playing/recording audio without interruption. One (or more) of the MD manufacturers need to realize that current MD hardware exploits this Windows weakness, rather than exploiting the MD strength that MD recorders can easily handle that interruptiong caused by Windows *if* there was some sort of flow control with the transfer. Flow control implies two-way communication, so S/PDIF is the wrong transfer standard, since it is one-way and does not contemplate how flow control might be implemented. A deck with native USB (not an add-on USB to S/PDIF converter) colud fill the bill. Sony's MDH-10 did it with SCSI, though the problems are limited SCSI availability and the MDH-10 needed to be modified to allow SCSI access to audio disks. The first manufacturer to offer a *good* computer interface will provide the answer for which many have been serarching for the last couple years... [Sorry if this post seems like I'm rehashing what we already know, but apparently the manufacters *don't* kown it, yet. I wonder what it will take before they learn?] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
