zucchini thanks for your help. guest, u can cram it with walnuts !

Anyone know wehre i can get Realone to transfer my mp3s to MD. i went to realone.com and the only version i can choose the the Plus version which you have to pay for. any help ?

yes, any disc recorded on any other deck apart from my sharp can be played on the alpine (except the NetMD) its a non recording head unit. i think it could be the atrac thing, as the alpine deck is one of the first ones that ever came out i think. im pulling my hair out over this, please help!

yep, like i said before...... the MD i record on my Sharp will play on every other player except my alpine.

No it doesn't matter wether it is LP or normal mode that I record in. The Alpine deck has been swapped for a brand new one from Alpine 3 times now (they r pretty pissed of with me!) So i doubt it is the deck being dirty and as said above, I have tried many different discs.

Has anyone tried playing a MD, recorded on a Sharp portable minidisc recorder, on an Alpine MD deck ? its a Sharp 831 (24bit ATRAC) and the alpine deck is a MD-5048. What happens is when i put the disc in it will take a while to read it then come on screen saying DISC ERROR EJECT. i keep ejecting and reinserting and after a while it might start playing but this is not garunteed. What could it be!?!? i ahve tried recording the MD with optic cable, LP etc to no avail. I have had the deck swapped with a new one 3 times and still has the same problem. But when the disc does start playing then it plays fine. I have also tried different brands of MDs to no avail. The disc i record on the SHARP is able to be played on any other deck but my Alpine. Any help would be greatly appreciated cheers
