The whole video tape thing might have never gotten anywhere if it were not for

I have been messing around with my MD recorder again this morning and I
think I may have figured out what is happening.
The results I posted previously show a frequency dependant loss in volume,
which increases as the frequency increases.

Did anyone compare the difference between digital transfer of songs from a
PC vs. analog? I have downloaded many songs to my MD using just a mini
cable out into my MD input. Results are very good. Sometimes I have to edit
as the PC does little repeats due to hard drive activity, I guess. Thanks
More often than not, you're not going to notice much difference, unless
your analog connections carry any hum or feedback.
If you get little repeats and such from your PC on the analog connection,
you'll also get them on the digital connection, although you should only
get them when

Hi,
There are a coup[le of these available now (Sony's PC Link, Thunderwire
(www.thunderwire.com), and Xitel's MD Port (www.xitel.com). All of them
claim that all you need is the USB port. Well, some sound cards have
digital out, and some don't, right? So, if my laptop's soundcard
doesn't have
Speaking of drug testers, I just noticed that Target has two
different PC-Link-equipped portables for sale. They've been selling
blank discs for several years and in fact just added Maxell and
Memorex after previously only stocking Sony.
Circuit City advertised a Sony portable (I think it was the 37) a few
weeks ago for $199.00 which it says comes with a PC connect cable.
If Sony had been selling their portable recorders for this price 3 years
ago, the MD might have had a fighting chance. This cable is USB. But
the problem
With all of the talk about Bust Buy, etc., I just had to mention that In
their Sunday newspaper flier, Target has a blurb about "New At
Target--Minidisc". What they have are a couple of Sony portable
player/recorders, but anything that makes MD more visible is okay with me.
They also have

Sure. I'll get on to it tomorrow.
It would be interesting to try this experiment on some other
equipment, a portable, and a machine
"Political issues aside, one of the fundamental problems with drug
testing is that it just plain doesn't work. False results, both
negative and positive, are pretty common. But it makes great PR.
That's true all around. If you eat a poppy seed bagel you will test
positive. I'm serious.
Jason I am forwarding your mail to the Minidisc list. I don't have any
experiance with the USB port.
YOu might open the Volume control from the start menu, not the taskbar,
and click on options, properties, and make sure everything is checked
that you want to listen from.

I make all of my MDs using digital connections. But when I first got my MZ-1 I had
to wait for the optical cable to come in. So I made some discs in analog. I find

Good point... I have seen a few bands come through town using drun tracks and
click tracks with little MD players and instructions for sound guys. Way more
