Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback
I've had mini disc recorders since 1996 and really love them. I have the sony 505, and even though it doesn't have a mike input, I use it to listen to music while I ring bells during xmas time for the Salvation Army. I do have a sony MZR90. An it's one of the older portable models and it does have a mike input. The only thing is when you get in to the menue, you need to keep track of the amount of times you move the wheel to keep track of which function you want to go too. I also have an MDSJE480 home minidis recorder, and I really love it. That one and the 505 portable will play the LP2 LP4 and the SP sampling rates. But the MZR90 will only play the SP sampling rates. The MDSJE 480 doesn't have a mike input. I do have a stereo tie clip mike I use for the MZR90. It's a cheap mike, but really it sounds quite nice. the only draw back with the MZR90 is that you can't move it around much while in the record mode, or it will mistrack. But over all I like the minidisk format quite well. Kevin On Tue, 24 May 2005 15:49:08 -0600 "Bobcat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Michael. The new Olympus interests me.

Re: recording audio streams
Lisa, it's total recorder. Go to highcriteria.com and download the standard version of total recorder. In order to get it to work you'll need to register it. And after you've downloaded it, write to highcriteria and get a registration key and then register it in total recorder and you should be set to go. But there's a tutorial on total recorder on the ACB web site. Give a listen, and you'll know the operating instructions on how to run it. I have it and it's really blind friendly. You'll need the lame encoder to make it convert and record to MP3 on the fly. And some one on this list should be able to give you the address to get the lame encoder. Make sure you install it and set the bit rate and to record in stereo or mono or else it won't record and convert to MP3 properly. You can either record from sound board which is to record from anything you plug in to your sound card. And software, which will let it record from an internet stream. Hope this helps.

Re: total recorder questions
Joanne I have had total recorder for 2 years and I love it. I only have the standard version. I have it set up to record and convert to MP3 on the fly. You have to have the lame encoder in order for it to record and convert to MP3. Marty Rimpau is one person you should contact to give you more assistance with total recorder. And Debbie Cook can help you also. Once you get it installed and working, you'll love it. Yes, you can record from your sound card, as well as from the internet. The product is very blind friendly.

Re: nero or cd burning question
Marie, good advice on blank CD's. I have yet to find that I have a problem with CD's I've burned in my computer, but I'm sure that time will come. But I've had to throw away CD's that have errored in my home CD recorder. With kassettes, there was always, or most of the time if something went wrong, you could maybe fix the tape, by splicing it or what ever. But with a CD, when it errors, or you get a bad CD, the only thing you can do is to use it as a koster, or throw it away. When I get a CD that's bad, I hold it over the trash canand in to the trash can a bit, bend it in half till it brakes. But be careful of the sharp edges of the small pieces, when you do this. They tend to fly. That's why I hold the CD in to the trash can before braking it. Sure is a good way to take out your frustrations on a bad CD.

Re: CD Recorder
Yes that's true, I've been in to the mini disk format for 8 years and I love it. I don't have the latest equipment, but I do have the home and portable models that play the standard mini disk format, plus LP2 which plays for 3 hours on an 80 minute mini disk, and LP4 which plays for 6 hours on an 80 minute mini disk. And the models are, the Sony MDSJE480, that's the home model, the Sony 505 the portable model. And I even have an MZR90 portable. It only plays the standard formatMini disks. We use mini disks for recording our programs we play at KRCC.

Re: Need reccomendations on boomboxes
Terry, Could it be that your NPR station is weaker than the Christian station next to it? Most Walkmans and boom boxes have very lose front ends. What I mean by that is, that they don't reject multipath interference that well. So stronger stations almost always blead over in to the weaker ones. For example, here In Colorado Springs, Colorado where I live, I work for an NPR station that for all intense and purposes has a weaker signal than stations around it. Our power output is only 2300 watts off the top of Cheyenne mountain. That's just west of Colorado Springs, and it's where all the FM TV and other UHF VHF communications transmitters are located. And of course a radioor tuner with a loosefront end will pick up all that interference coming off the mountain. I have a walkman, it's a Sony, one of their sportsman models. TheA.M. isn't too bad for a radio that small. But the FM has a local distance switch, and it's tuned with a nob. But in order to get KRCC in most sections of town, I have to use the local setting. If I use the distance setting on F.M. I can't even find the signal. So in order to get KRCC, I have to have a real good radio like the CC radio by C Crane or the GE super radio 3. My ICF 2010 by Sony will get it. And my tuner on my stereo will get it. So what I'd do is to test out the boom boxes before you buy one, and make sure it will receive the station you want to listen too. If I can help you any further, please let me know.

Re: putting mp3's on a dvd
No, DVD's are exactly the same size as CD's. It's just you can't play a DVD on a CD player. But you can play CD's on DVD players.

Re: extracting the audio from a DVD
What do you want to save the audio from a DVD on? I have a DVD player, and I wanted to listen to the Concert for George, last Christmas while I was ringing bells for the Salvation Army. I recorded the entire audio track on a mini disk. I had to use the LP2 sampling rate. Cause the whole thing was 3 hours. I could only take it off the analogue output. I tried using the Toslink optical output, but didn't get any sound. So the analogue output was the only way to go. Then I took it with me on my portable mini disk recorder and listened to it while I rang bells. Hope this helps.

Re: question about recording books
And my A P H desk top machine, that I purchased a couple of years ago, doesn't have this cross talk problem. But I do have some small problem with cross talk on my Sony 2 track stereo recorder that's modified to play NLS tapes, that I purchased from I R T I last year. But it's really not legible. You have to put your ear to either speaker to here it, and that's when there's silent portions on the talkingbook tape.

Re: Setting a turn-Table Pitch Control?
Yeah, just find a song that you're framiliar with on CD, then hopefully you have that same song on vinal. And then plug a pair of phones in to your CD player, and only use 1 ear. Then plug another pair of phones in to your amp, and use the one ear from the second pair of phones. Then try and start them both at the same time. Make sure they're as close together as you can get them. Then adjust your pitch control on your turntable, until it matches the pitch with your CD version. I've have done it and it can take some time, so please be patient. Hope this helps, Kevin On Sat, 15 May 2004 11:13:27 -0500 "Dale E.
