Re: Minidisc File Formats
Hi Gary and Kevin. Thanks for your advice. Kevin, unfortunately copying in real time (which I gather is what you're suggesting) isn't an option for me due to its longevity, but the suggestion was appreciated. Also, I'm unable to put Goldwave on the laptop I'm borrowing, but have previously found it very helpful and will be going back to it when I get my new computer. Gary, thanks for your suggestions, but as I said I think such machines require the same discs as my stand alone recorder, so it wouldn't make any difference to me. I guess what I'm trying to find out is whether there's any machine (apart from computers, obviously) which record straight onto hard drives or SD cards, allowing you to conveniently shift files straight to a laptop without the need to record in real time or edit anything.

RE: Minidisc File Formats
Hi Danny. If you are unable to use Gold Wave for recordings on that computer then have you tried using CDEX. This will record straight onto the hard drive or on to an external hard drive. Unfortunately though, it isn't an audio editor so when you start the recording then stop it, the resulting file can't be manipulated. You can though do so with Gold Wave if you transfer the saved file to another PC or lap top that has Gold Wave.

Re: Minidisc File Formats
Hi John. I 100% agree with you and Kevin, and for old material (mainly cassettes) I do copy things in real time and edit with Goldwave (when I have the software installed). However, I don't want to generate any more recordings on tape as I already have a collection which will probably never all get converted, and my recordings often need to last longer than 45 minutes before being interrupted. However, for conversion of old recordings I'm definitely behind the method described.

Re: Minidisc File Formats
Hi Walter. Thanks for advising me again. No, I haven't thought of CDEX, as I've never used it and assumed that it was simply an alternative to Goldwave but with less features. One of the main issues with putting Goldwave on this computer is the lack of available space for programmes, but if CDEX is so basic I presume it takes up very little room. My stand alone CD recorder doesn't allow editing, so the lack of such a feature isn't really an issue. Can you please advise on where to find it and any tutorials, and whether it needs any additional Jaws scripts? Again, thanks for this idea, and any other ideas or contributions from people will still be appreciated as you can never have enough knowledge.

Hello Danny, I don't make tape recordings anymore either. I just make digital transfers of them using DC7. Making tape recordings these days, is so yester years. SMILES.

RE: Minidisc File Formats
Hi Danny. CDEX is a small programme, can't remember the size but certainly much smaller than Gold Wave. It is in fact a CD ripper but it is able to convert files to and from WAVE and or MP3. It also has a Digital recorder included and it is very easy to use. I must admit I never really use it as I have and use Gold Wave. However CDEX is very screen reader friendly both for ripping discs and also for the converter and or audio recorder. Probably the majority of members on this list probably have it so can help out if you have trouble. As I said though it is easy to use and is intuitive. All you need remember is F4 is the key to use when you want to configure it once installed. The programme is free and if you do a google search you will find loads of sites offering the download. My version is an older version (1.51) and I'm not sure what version is the latest but I think it is around 1.70 or 1.71, something like that. As I said in my previous email, the recorder is basic, keystroke to start then keystroke to stop but no edit facility. You can save at whatever bit rate you choose. Bearing in mind it is a small programme and it isn't your computer then your friend won't complain about CDEX as they will probably appreciate it them self.
