do than monitor this group, that's not true. Today I listened to the
four HitDiscs that were delivered Friday, walked several dogs (lots of
them in my building so I do it for extra money), made several phone

Hi All,
Just a note, which can save you some grief.
Be aware if you're using Nicads or NiMH rechargeable batteries (both have a
nominal cell voltage of 1.2V). Nicads tend to have a memory effect, and if not
discharged need discharging to 1V per cell before recharging. Many Nicad
chargers do thi

batteries, I decided rechargeables were definitely the way to go -- I
bought some Maxell set I found at Circuit City -- it was pretty much all
they had, and they work pretty well. I wouldn't be surprised though if I

I really think the reason for having no digital input and output on the

this would be true since you can make unlimited digital copies of

Interesting that will also function as an audio recorder, holding four

I wonder when this will filter through to the real MD audio world?

Hi guys,
I've got a (currently malfunctioning) Casio Triple Sensor watch which
is a geeks dream. Thermometer, Barometer/Altimeter, and Compass
all in one. Takes two batteries!

anymore-- no way am I paying that).

Yeesh. Look, I use my Mac's calculator and I've got a 'work' watch and a
'workout' watch that have both been working fine for the last 3-4 years.
So, I haven't gone calculator or watch shopping lately :-P
I'd rather use my Mac's calculator anyway, it's prettier to look at than

Reading the question and responses concerning the
titling of H ndel's "Semele" inspired me to put this
question out to the Classical music lovers on this
list. I am wondering if there is anywhere on the
internet a list similar to this one that it is devoted
to Classical music recordings. If so,

I don't have any minidisc devices, however i am thinking of purchasing a

I don't have many choices, so im looking for maybe "dont buy it and save
your money" answers, rather than "buy this or that instead" answers.
Thanks for any advice :)

I don't understand. What do you mean by needing a laptop with 4GB to
store titles? If you mean for the purpose of keeping a word processing
type document so I would know where each track is without searching my
memory or the discs themselves, you're right. There's no way a Psion or

Casio is still pretty big in Japan. Even in North America, didn't they

I'm suprised no one has taken CaliforniaRod to task for suggesting that his

1800 bytes per minidisc, he would need ~2.3 million MD's to store that much

This is more of what I meant than having not heard the brand name in years.
It was also a shock to find they are starting to make audio equipment --
something akin to finding that the brand "Maytag" also makes vacuum
cleaners. Or that "Craftsman" also makes engine parts. You think of

Not to beat this subject to death, but I am a musiclogist and collect
the Joel Whitburn Billboard chart books, etc. Here's basically what I do
to somehow get an MD to fit all my titles in the 1700 or so available
characters per disc.

Though I don't really know what is a good and cheap digital card, I can tell
you that the volume control in win98 would not work directly with the

slider available through the sound card's drivers.
Personally, since you
I've seen various pages on the web detailing how to use the SPDIF connector
on the Live cards to enable optical i/o using TOSLINK components. Anyone
know if the same is possible using a Live 1024. There doesn't appear to be
an SPDIF connector but there is a Digital Output Jack on the front panel.
