This is because Win ME and 2k have no direct access to the serial port, thus meaning the program will not work, and in your case, screw up the system. The Mironics interface uses the parallel port, not the serial port, but WinME/2K don't have direct access to that, either. The Mironics

Why in the hell doesn't Xitel transfer the MP3 ID3 track titling? Really want to know why? Because it uses the S/PDIF standard, which can only, i repeat ONLY transfer SCMS in the subcode data, and also, S/PDIF wasn't made for MiniDiscs, so it was not made to title MiniDiscs, which in the case

No, portables do it in the most time consuming way, but even that is a no-brainer thanks to the mironics interface (www.mironics.com) Unless it FUBARs your system I ordered the Mironics setup and it didn't work, and when next I rebooted, Windows 2000 was completely forqued, with an

Just from my own experience. I have an old car with a very old sound system. It doesn't have a CD player, but it can play cassettes. I bought a portable MD-recorder a couple of months ago (a Sony MZ-G750). Very nice little player with FM-radio. Then I got the Sony CPA-9C Car connection pack.

First of all, there are LPs without a cutoff of 15kHz. Second, even if all LPs were limited to 15kHz, the fact of the matter is that most humans over the age of 15 can't really hear above 15kHz anyway. So that whole argument is pretty much irrelevant. So... you have pretty much made SACD
