Dex - very helpful reply, thanks very much!

Hi, with the Hi-MD players can you shuffle within a group? Or only with all the tracks on the disc? Also, are all the usual editing functions present (divide, combine, move, etc) ?

Thanks jadeclaw, I've posted a more detailed question about 2) as a separate thread!

Hi.. Is there a difference between recordings made from CD player -> Hi-SP optical in and those from PC -> Hi-SP ? I've never used a PC to record before, so I dont understand the process.. is it 1) Sonic encodes the data from the CD, and then the MD encodes THAT data. or 2) Sonic encodes the data from the CD in Hi-SP format, then the MD saves that data without further encoding ? In case 1), the extra step would obviously cause a difference in the data saved to MD. In case 2), my question is, is the Hi-SP encoding made by Sonic exactly the same as would be made on an MZ-NH1 ? Further, if a recording is transferred to the MD player via the USB, is some data lost by the nature of the connection (as opposed to a lossless optical connection)? I realise I probably couldnt even hear the difference between Hi-SP and Hi-LP, but psychologically I want to know I am hearing the best quality recording. I will do everything from a CD player in real time if I have to... Thanks

Hi, 2 quickies, sorry if alreadt answered somewhere! 1) How fast is recording from PC to Hi-MD at 256kbps? 2) Is there any difference in quality between recording at Hi-SP from a PC and recording at Hi-SP through optical input direct from CD player?
