Thanks mAjEsTiC, that's helped a lot I'll try it on the next quality down then if it doesn't sound too much worse I did try converting them to WAVs first coz that's what I'd usually do with making CDs but that's not the way it works obviously hehe When converting them to ATRAC should I do it at 105kbps as opposed to 132? Is that the same as LP2 thanx

Today I bought my first minidisc player (Sony Net MD Walkman MZ-N510 type S blue) basically because I gathered it'd be quick to transfer my MP3s to a disc instead of burning them on to a CD and also it's just smaller than a portable CD player I've got it working and everything but it's so SLOW. In fact it took over an hour to "check out" 20 tracks to the thing... so I suppose it must be running on 1xspeed instead of the up to 32x speed I was promised. Is this because my computer is only a P2 400 (which is the minimum requirement) or is there a way I can speed it up? Also... how do I add more tracks to a disc without overwriting the existing ones, I lost all of the tracks I'd put on. And if I'm putting MP3s on there (i've set it at that highest possible quality thing) will it fit lots of them on? When I start recording it converts the files but I don't exactly know what it's doing - is it expanding them to WAV like files so that I can only fit 80 minutes of actual audio on an 80 minute disc or will I be able to get lots more tracks on? Argh it's all so annoying because I've never used one of these things before and I'm impatient coz I want to master it asap hehe. I did read the instructions before you ask They didn't seem to have much on the actual Net MD part of it - I'm not going to use it the conventional way because otherwise it's just a glorified tape recorder innit Anyway hope that makes sense and I'd be very grateful if anybody can help me in the smallest way Thanks Ben from the UK
