MD: Sharp Track Titling

2000-08-17 Thread Richard Chamberlain
Hi all Questions about easier titling on Sharp MDs, or come to that any MD unit, crop up with regularity. I own a Psion 5 PDA, it would be great if you could input the titles via the Psion 5 and then just shoot them across to your MD unit via the Infra-red port! Does anyone know if such a

Sony really is going all out this time, it seems. To the extent that they're getting the news out on a week when so many people are on holiday in Japan. Scary specs, too. - a 20-disc settings database? Geez! - speed control: do they need it for every equipment? :) - They've gone back to rotary

Saw an interesting commercial last night (US TV). It was an advert for back-to-school, and it featured different, supposedly indispensible, items for back-to=school flying across the screen. The first item that was shown was a flying minidisc. I doubt whether many of the people watching that

I've seen the Xitel and other USB-Toslink devices, but it looks like they are only for recording from a PC to an MD. I want to copy live recordings I made on MD onto my PC. Do these USB devices do this, and I just missed that part of the specs, or can someone recommend something else? I can of

It's nice to hear when MD vs MP3 is treated objectively in the media. pros: cheaper media longer recording time higher quality recording wider choice of players more editing/mix capabilities I definitely agree with the "pros". (I think higher recording quality is based on the 128K MP3's that

Sounds to me like your source you are trying to record from is SCMS protected. Is the source made from a consumer CD Recorder Deck? Thus you cannot make a digital copy of it, only analogue. Sorry Nathan White [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL
