Computer Geeks has the Vortex2 SQ2500 sound card with digital out for
$39 right now. I wonder if anyone has used this card and can comment on
its quality. Does it work well with MD? Also, is there any way to add
a digital in port?
The Vortex2 SQ2500 only has coaxial output, not optical.
Oops, missed a step.
The proper directions are:
1. Put your unit in stop mode
2. Hold DISP for 3 seceonds
3. Press MODE
4. Press ENTER.
5. Press STOP.

A possible stroke of light though, I seem to recall somwhere back
a post about using the SB Live to get a digital output. Was that
true? Guess what sound card I now have Please? Someone?
You need an optical output header. The most popular one among the MD
community is the
On what do you base this statement? My understanding of ATRAC (based
upon looking at an ATRAC decoder) is that the computational demands of
encoding ATRAC are similar to those for MP3. I would expect a software
ATRAC encoder to run about as fast as an MP3 encoder.
On that note, remember the

optical out. You'll come to love the friendly red
laser instead of the boring coax.
That's not a laser.
If it were, you would be able to point an optical cable at a wall across
the room and still get a nice dot.
Optical simply uses red light.

I think the headphone has its own FM radio, which would be cool for
any MD owner (it is one thing I sometimes miss when I carry my MZ-R90
with me all day).
And the remote contol is a new one released by Sony, AFAIK, but what
is the special thing on it? If anyone knows, please, I'd

Am I the only one who thinks it's brilliant? I have no problems with
changing songs without hitting the stop button, but that might have to do
with the size of my fingers.
I've tried other remotes (Aiwa AM-F7, Sharp 721, Sharp 702, Panasonic
SJ-MJ70, the newer Sony remote used in the R90),
One of the things I love about the R50 is how easy it makes editing stuff

and setting titles are all dead simple operations. The reviews I've read
of the Aiwas lead me to believe that their editing features are not as
Sorry, i misred that! But it might be interesting to have a sony remote
control a sharp walkman, because the MT15 does not come with a remote.
A standard Sharp remote works well. I think it would still transmit
display bits, but I'm not sure...
The ad starts with several twentysomethings listening to some
music on a bookshelf system (by Sharp, obviously). After a
couple of rather uninformative shots of the people "grooving",
one guy pops out the minidisc, which looks like a blank (it had
no label I think), puts it into his
After muc intrest in MiniDisc I finally bought one. I went to Circuit City
hoping to buy the Sharp MT15 but upon seeing the Sony R37 for $20 less(199
vs. 179) I went for it and even more to my delight the salesman said that
the floor model was the only one left which gave me another $20 off
Does anyone know how to name a track without playing the track? (i.e.
naming a track while 'stopped') I have a MZ-R91 and I can't figure out how
to do that.
The best you can do is name a track during pause.
Why, exactly, do you want to name while stopped, anyway? :)
I have another question: How can you name a track while it's playing on a
Sharp MD-MT15?
Firmware limitation. No go. Sorry.

I'm looking for advice (just brands and model numbers would do it) of
portable recorders that have programmed play.
To the best of my knowledge, only Aiwa portables have this feature.

units, but my AM-F7 didn't take a drop
I went for an Soundblaster Live! Platinum. It has an expansion box which
fits in a spare disk bay and allows front access to digital SPDIF (RCA),
optical, analogue aux2 (RCA) and MIDI (DIN), all both in and out, as well
as a microphone and headphone socket. There's also the usual line
I think it's rather that the motor spin-up time is slower. Motor speed
itself would not seem to have a direct relation to power
consumption. On the Sharp MD-MT831 the top end motor RPM (400-1350rpm)
is actually higher than on mainstream units (400-900rpm), I've always
assumed this was to
I'M curious: (read my emails and you know it) do many people actually use

somewhat.
I buy the colour collections usually, and store
All this talk about the MZ-R90 taking forever to:
a) read the TOC and start playing, and
b) write the TOC
has made me come to the preliminary conclusion that the MZ-R90/91 spins the
disc at a lower rate to save power.
Won't this affect shock protection? I would imagine that this would cause
Is there any way to hook up my sony Mz-R55 to my keyborad to name the songs???
No.
The closest thing you can get is to reverse engineer the Sony remote
protocol and to do PART of the titling from a computer, but it won't be
extremely easy to construct. It does require a bit of programming
Does anyone know where in the UK I can source a replacement adapter (i.e.
3-pin plug to 2-pin socket, 240v to 100v)? Better still, is the Sharp

Any AC adapter that's rated for 4.5v to 5.5v at 700mA to around 900mA

I originally posted this on Slashdot, ready to refute FUD about MD and

calculations. I thought some of you might find this to be of at least mild
interest.
Right, S/PDIF carries track number information along with the digital
audio. When an MD deck senses a change in track number, it marks a new
track. I don't know of any way of making track marks when digitally
recording from a PC, but I'm forwarding your note to the MD mailing

If no one has an MD boombox that runs on batteries (I still think it's
ludicrous that this is such an unusual criteria for a boombox) then I'd

All right, I have a rather unusual question here...
I currently own a Sharp 821 portable. It works fine. I am, however, really
interested in Kanji titling. Now,
a) An 832 remote (which displays Kanji) would definately fit into an 821,
but would it display Kanji assuming that it had such track
