nah, i'll leave it, let it die a natural death, not euthanised.

that wont work. do they play off the disc at all?

try running the mdac repair tool in our downloads section. once run perhaps try running SS without scanning for files & add them manually?

welcome mav

perhaps they have an older pro model that allowed digital copies with no DRM

you could always buy the cheaper unit to use as a dedicated recorder, leaving your current unit as a player reducing wear & tear

might be at the sonystore or at jb hi-fi - you'll get far better prices online & if you need an australian warranty www.minidisc.com.au is perfect

happy birthday D-EJ915

quicker than expected update. i'm now listening to Asia's "Heat Of The Moment: The Best Of Asia" & enjoying it greatly. in the next couple of days i will be cutting some thin cresent shaped wedges of foam, thicker at the outer edge. the original pads are only attached on the outside of the cup so there is an empty space under the pad & the edge of the pad forms a lip that will hopefully hold in the extra support in place. pics when done

292kbs http://minidisc.org/faq_sec_4.html#r_q21 For a stereo signal it's 292162.5 bits/sec. ATRAC compresses 512 incoming 16 bit samples (1024 bytes) into one ATRAC ``sound group'' (212 bytes) giving an audio compression ratio of 4.83:1. Here is the math: 44100 samples/sec (incoming single channel rate) / 512 samples/soundgroup (giving 86.133 soundgroups/sec/channel) * 2 channels (giving 172.266 stereo soundgroups/sec) * 212 bytes/soundgroup (giving 36.5K stereo bytes/sec) * 8 bits/byte (giving stereo bits/sec) = 292162.5 bits/sec.

make sure you run the socistage back up tool to an external drive. run the free scanner at http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ if that doesn't fix it do some google research for more info on the virus[es]. formatting is not the first line of anti viral defence

ATH-AD10 i purchased a new in box pair on ebay for au$99 including shipping, the seller had purchased them also on ebay for about half that as a quick investment aparently & the original seller had purchased them in japan but never used them, letting the box gather dust. As i was in the market for a pair of open phones & audio-technica is my brand of choice i couldn't pass it up. I do own a pair of ATH-A500s that I'll be selling to upgrade to another pair of closed phones soon. Buying the ATH-AD10s was something of a risk, the only two english language reviews on the net are not positive but i went ahead anyway, my ears not being the most discerning but very sensitive, i often find the volume of a proper line out too loud for my ears also i like a bit of adventure in my purchases. I have to concur somewhat with the scathing review posted by wally on audiocubes [link at bottom] but I'm not that unhappy. The other review was posted on head-fi by “Gerg”* as a pdf download [link at bottom] & is a great & highly literate review although my standards for audio quality i dare say are a little lower. I've only had them for around three hours now, appearing as the did at 7:00am on my doorstep. I'm a little wary of the whole concept of “burn in” although i do the careful thing & do it anyway, I'll listen to them all day then leave them playing a shuffle of genres & sounds overnight for the next couple of nights. So far the added soundstage over the closed ATH-A500s is amazing & the bass is considerably less although very, very clear. They have a precision I'm amazed with. Source so far is wavs & high bitrate mp3s -> winamp -> soundblaster live! 24Bit & I've listened to Madlib's “Shades Of Blue – Madlib Invades Bluenote”, “Hits: The Very Best Of Erasure”, Colin Hay's acoustic “Man At Work” & Sade's "Stronger Than Pride" [music info at bottom] My issue as with other reviewers is the odd pads included. The are very comfortable, soft & made of a velvet that has an oddly suede feeling but they are far too thin, squashing to almost nothing, placing the drivers almost in the ear rather than over the top. This is odd given they were Audio-Technica's top of the range open 'phone[?] when released, although they're somewhat outdated now. I'm considering Gerg's solution of placing other pads over the top, but I've found a rather easier solution for the moment. When the headphones ore on the head in the correct place, slide them a little further up the skull so the bottom of the pad is almost under the ear lobe, this gives a little more room in the cup & is of no detriment to the comfort. On the comfort issue, it's 35 degrees [95f] here right now & the cups have an air flow through I've never had on phones, never having owned open phones before & it makes them more wearable for sure. Apologies for the crappy pics my camera has no macro mode side by side the ATH-AD10s are slightly smaller than the ATH-A500s, the red tape was to remind me which ear was which, not as a ghetto repair. side by side cups, the AD10s champagne coloured wire mesh clearly displays the drivers. from this angle the cups look about the same size & depth. The closeness of the AD10s driver is exacerbated by the angle of the driver compared to the 'squared off' driver inside the A500. driver & mushroom coloured velvet pad. on my head. hard to tell here but the cable of the AD10 is of a brown cloth that has a tighter weave than the black cloth of the A500. This seems to curl tighter. The plug is a gold plated 1/8 inch [3.5mm] with a chrome[?] casing. It has a screw on gold plated 1/4 inch jack although slightly smaller than the A500 cup here is the AD10 over a blank dvd-r conclusion. It's a little early but so far i like 'em. Further updates will no doubt follow, like how they perform with portable gear in my house. audiocubes product & review page http://www.audiocubes.com/category/Headpho...Headphones.html ATs singapore page for the 'phones http://www.audio-technica.com.sg/ath-ad10.html Gerg's headfi review *http://members.cox.net/yrogerg/headphones/AD10%20rev1.pdf my old ATH-A500s review http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=10399 music mentioned in review madlib's shades of blue http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/arti...2568316,00.html sade's stronger than pride http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000051XX...v=glance&n=5174 erasure's best of http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/arti...2803596,00.html colin hays' man at work http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009Y3O...v=glance&n=5174

johannes i'd be looking at a hiMD model if i were you. lovely kit, newer technology but will owrk with any old discs you may have lying around. where in the world are you right now?

this one's being closed.

well that's just lovely, why not post some in our gallery?

you are not welcome here

please don't double post. as this thread has been replied to i'm deleting the other on & moving this to software

it looks like it because it pretty much is an rh10 only with the added mac support & bundled mic. note that the mac support is only for uploading himd recordings & not for music transfer to the player, SS is still required for that

got any skins or blinds running? sounds like a display conflict.

you could always try the real time but assisted transfer with marcnet's himd renderrer. search around the forums for more detail

sounds like you also need to get newer version of windows media player that you currently have

happy birthday damage. also no kiss of death intended but i'm really enjoying your blog.
