That will be 74mn if you record in real time in SP mode. MP3 transfer is more like a data transfer. And yes I think you can transfer much more than 74mn. Only for an unit which can read MP3 like RH1.

I just plug my two power banks (USB 5V out) to my MZ-R35 and it works OK even if the unit has a 6V input. Hope it is not a problem ?

This a question I have in my head since a long time : I still don't understand what is the utility of a PCLK-MN10 nowadays. with - a Net-MD recorder - a good internal or external 24bit / 96kbps or 192kbps in the PC (real time recordings) - and Sonic Stage What does it bring more ?

PC / Windows (any version) + foobar2000 + good audio output DSP (KS, Wasapi, Asio) for foobar2000 + good internal or external sound card. Old version sofwares can be found here : www.oldversion.com. I record my MDs in real time SP mode with FLAC lossless tracks - even 24 bit / 96 kbps ones* - using the optical PC out and I create marks between tracks (if needed) using the "Post-track silence" plugin (would be Wincue if you use Winamp) to create 2 seconds silence tracks between the long time tracks. I edit my recording using a Net-MD connection so I can edit and name the MD and each tracks with Sonic Stage (very useful to delete simply all silence tracks created with post-track silence if they have been created). (*) Resampler (Sox) can be use to get 24bit / 48kHz, recording and listening mode accepted by modern MD recorders. I add also this text I former write in this topic : http://forums.sonyinsider.com/topic/29142-problems-when-editing-on-a-mds-je-330/ Let me explain how I proceed after a real time recording done from my PC using foobar2000 as a player and my JB980 as my recorder. I can be forced to use the Post-track Silence plugin the separate correctly the tracks (sometime it work perfectly). Album : Verve Jazz Club / Mods / Various Artists - Jazz For Lovers I can get this after the recording after connecting the deck to the PC with Net-MD and Sonic Stage : 01. [ ] 2:43 02. [ ] 0:02 03. [ ] 3:12 04. [ ] 0:02 05. [ ] 3:01 06. [ ] 0:02 07. [ ] 3:37 08. [ ] 0:02 09. [ ] 2:24 10. [ ] 0:02 .../... 36. [ ] Many additional silence tracks as being added. Number of tracks could be double. Sometimes you can get this : 01. [ ] 2:4302. [ ] 0:0203. [ ] 3:0004. [ ] 0:1205. [ ] 0:0206. [ ] 3:01 The second track has been divided by two tracks. That could happen for several tracks, creating a big mess. How to correct that ? By getting good tags to the good tracks first. I create a list of tracks (foobar2000 : album selection, right click, utilities, text tools, advanced...) : for example with the track pattern [%tracknumber%. ]%artist% - %title% %length%, I get this : 01. Dinah Washington - Unforgettable 2:43 02. John Coltrane - Nancy (With The Laughing Face) 3:12 03. George Shearing - The Nearness Of You 3:01 04. Laura Fygi - Dream A Little Dream Of Me 3:37 05.

Oscar Peterson - Dreamsville 2:58 I just copy + past at least 18 times the "artist - tiltle" part of it. I MUST COMPARE VERY CAREFULLY THE LENGTH OF TRACKS. So I get this : 01. [Dinah Washington - Unforgettable] 2:4302. [ ] 0:0203. [ John Coltrane - Nancy (With The Laughing Face)] 3:0004. [ ] 0:1205. [ ] 0:0206. [George Shearing - The Nearness Of You] 3:01 Stephen (sfbp) will add X in silence tracks and for example C (for combine) : 01. [Dinah Washington - Unforgettable] 2:4302. [X ] 0:0203. [ John Coltrane - Nancy (With The Laughing Face)] 3:0004. [C] 0:1205. [X] 0:0206. [George Shearing - The Nearness Of You] 3:01 This is a rather long job if your track list is a long one. After this first tagging, I can delete X files (funny Stephen) in Sonic Stage. I get this : 01. [Dinah Washington - Unforgettable] 2:4302. [ John Coltrane - Nancy (With The Laughing Face)] 3:0003. [C] 0:1205. [George Shearing - The Nearness Of You] 3:01 I prefer then to come back to my JB980 and combine the tracks 02 + 03. I get this after TOC writing : 01. [Dinah Washington - Unforgettable] 2:4302. [John Coltrane - Nancy (With The Laughing Face)] 3:0003. [George Shearing - The Nearness Of You] 3:01

The mess is - you know it today - where to find this disable @$%*µ$ certifcation menu in Windows 10.

That would have been better if you have created a new topic for your question. I can answer it because I have been notifed for a new answer for this one topic. I suppose you tried Sonic Stage Ultimate version with the Net MD driver with Windows 8 or 10. 1st you need more recent driver, 2d you just need to disable Driver Certification for one session (you will need to restart with this choice disable and then connect your unit using the recent driver). I canot answer your question about a PC Link, I do not have one.

Good move philippeb. Bonne chance.

Closer to Canada, in France johnatanpotato could give you some help you also. Have a look to his web site. http://jonathan.dupre.free.fr/

MD accept 32 / 44.1 / 48khz and up to 24bit I would fix the computer digital output to 24 bit / 48 kHz.

You must have the dirver for Net-MD 32 bits or 64 bits Then use a similar procedure for Windows 10 (disabling Windows signature control)

You can easily zoom inside the http://www.minidisc.org/denon_dmd1000_manual/N.html pages.

After googling a little, I can see that the user manual is only available - as a real user manual ;>) - on minidisc.org in a one page at a time version. You still cannot open it ? Your browser is supposed to open any PDF file. http://www.minidisc.org/denon_dmd1000_manual/3.html

This one is a must have in the QS serie. So sorry you do not want to keep it and renew your love of the MD.

You still have the external AA battery case solution.

try http://www.fxsound.com/dfx/ to enhance the music during recording

Adios chaz9496. Never come back here. We are old too.

philippeb, remind me how much you can find it - prix idéal - in France ?

Why not just simply forcing the TOC writing (eject) after each process or more often ?

Some basic tricks can help you : - after deleting a track or combine two of them, it is important to let the deck writing again the TOC. That could avoid errors doing the next process. - using a Net-MD unit (portable will cost you less money than a new deck) and Sonic Stage will help you a LOT during the deleting tracks process. Combining tracks with Sonic Stage : more help here http://forums.sonyinsider.com/topic/19346-question-about-combining-tracks-in-sonicstage/ . A-B ERASE is not a Sonic Stage process.

If the recording is done from a PC + an audio player like foobar2000 - not torchomatic case I know - a plugin called resampler can be used to fit the MD "32/44.1/48kHz sample rate, 16/20/24 bits, PCM 2 channels (stereo)" settings

Thanks Stephen. . The choice is clearly wide. That ADATA cost me less than 14 US$. If I find a small one for peanuts like yours, I will try it. I like the idea of having a dozen of MD in a bag, that is why I am not so much disturb with the battery size.

I send a copy of this web page to Adblock Plus. There is an advertising inside my post if you see it like me. Nonetheless, I come back here to say that I bought a new Power Bank - Adata PT100 - which has the advantage of not needing to push any (damned grey button on the second picture) button every 5 minuts like the MP-10000 during a MD listening with my RH1 without LIP-4WM inside. Sadly charging my old LIP-4WMs is still a pain, they do not hold the charge enough anymore. I AM HAPPY, now I can travel without LIP-4WM (I use to put my RH1 in a pouch and the power bank in a small bag with my MD disks). Got it fot 3 times less than the MP-10000 for the same capacity.

I got mine for 10% of this price.

I have a JB980 too. Use it like a DAC too. Sorry footmobile, SP recordings (R30) cannot be "topped" by type S. Type S enhance LP recordings during listening. But, you can re-record your old albums (I know this is one of Hercule's Jobs) with a type R unit like your JB980 (Type S include type R).
