Re: Digital audio question
speaking of digital formats, converting *.wav files to lostless formats, is there a way to keep all the marks put into the original *.wav files in the lossless codek? -- Curtis Delzer. HS.

Re: Digital audio question
the other device will convert the digital audio output to the 44.1 sampling rate. you used to be able to buy a unit that you could force copy to cd or another mini disc but you can't any more. - Original Message - From: Brent Harding br...@hostany.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2014 10:25 PM Subject: Re: Digital audio question I imagine if you use the digital output jacks, it will send uncompressed digital audio as decoded from the Atrak on the disk. I'm not sure if the Minidisc players convert the sample rate to 44.1 khz when outputting digitally, or if the device at the other end has to support the 32 khz on the disk. - Original Message - From: Gary Schindler garys5...@comcast.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2014 9:19 PM Subject: Re: Digital audio question Don, the system is called atrac, which stands for Audio Transform acoustics or something like that. it is near CD quality, 128 KBPS with a sampling rate of 32 kilobytes. - Original Message - From: Donald L.

Re: Digital audio question
Thanks to both Gary and to Dane for answering my question. I apparently did not verbalize correctly. What I am trying to find out is what digital format I need to use for the inputs. In other words, instead of connecting the input device to the mini disc via analog connection, I want to use the digital input mode so that the beginning and end of track markers will be put in automatically. When transferring pop stuff to mini disc, the markers work reasonably well. But when attempting to transfer classical music, because of the quiet passages, sometimes extra start markers are inserted. Again, thanks for responding.

Use a Toslink digital optical or SPDIF coaxial cable depending what is on the machine. - Original Message - From: Donald L.

Re: Digital audio question
I still use Minidisc but not all that often, as far as I'm aware all Minidisc players and recorders use the Attrac format developed for the Minidisc recorder in the beginning though the format has undergone some changes over 20 years. Even the Sony MD I have which connects to the computer and allows the importing of MP3 files etc doesn't store the files as MP3 on the Minidisc, the files are decoded and then re-encoded into ATTRAC format for the Minidisc to play/Edit so I'd imagine - if you're doing a direct digital copy - the signal will be compressed to the ATTRAC format and the sample rate selection will most likely be automatically selected for you unless otherwise specified by your particular Minidisc model.

Don, the system is called atrac, which stands for Audio Transform acoustics or something like that. it is near CD quality, 128 KBPS with a sampling rate of 32 kilobytes. - Original Message - From: Donald L.
