So the next logical question is: Do atrac3 and atrac3+ (any bitrate) have revisions? If so, what are they, and where is each revision used? (e.g. 1st gen Hi-MD and onward, soniscage 3.2 and onward etc) I guess if the answer to the first question is yes a horrible messy answer will ensue, so sorry if that's the case Thanks!

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Lyve & Freebird The Movie/Tribute Led Zeppelin - Dvd Tenacious D - Complete Masterworks Pantera - 3 Vulgar Videos From Hell Ian Hunter - Live At The Astoria I'd like to get some blues ones, but i havent seen many around....

see www.batteryuniversity.com for all the battery info you could ever want!

Another alternative is to copy and paste titles from freedb.org - not automatic, but faster than typing. I wouldnt have thought that there is an automatic method, but I could be wrong....

Lynyrd Skynyrd - One More from the Road Disc: 1 1. Introduction/Workin' for MCA 2. I Ain't the One 3. Saturday Night Special 4. Searching 5. Travelin' Man 6. Simple Man [*] 7.

But if you got it from amazon for £70 - you may as well keep it!!

1) Faster than realtime, but speed depends on size of file, therefore atrac quality used. Better quality atrac = slower 2) When you record them realtime you are recording mp3's to atrac. This same process will happen in sonicstage, the only limitation is that sonicstage does not allow true sp transfer. So as long as you don't do them in sp, the outcome will be the same as you have presently. 3) Tracks are named and appear in album folders. 4) I believe things sometimes go wrong for very low bitrates, but most mp3's will load into sonicstage and be converted to atrac quite happily! Pretty much the same answers as The Low Volta, but a bit more concise

The only way of getting true sp on minidisc is via real time line in (optical or analogue) recording. As KrazyIvan says hi-sp is an adequate alternative for hi-md.

You may be better off (at least find it easier to try) using one of the new usb memory stick distributions that are around....

Just try it!! Leave it on overnight or somthing and see what happens....then report back here!

Best of the Eagles = 1 disc Allman Brothers: "Fillmore" and "Brothers and Sisters" on 1 disc have been played today on my way to and home from my 2 exams..

I voted before option 3 was available, so thats one vote that doesnt really count to option 2.

There is a good resource at battery university - lots of info about battery charging etc. Im sure a few days of trickle charging will leave your battery unharmed. At worse, I would guess it'd be the battery which has gone bad, rather than the unit, just check it over and try it out. It says on the link somewhere about the pressure building up in the battery as charging goes on - perhaps this caused the noise! As for the "phyiscs lesson", that may cause damage - the "magnet" things are "clamp filters", they are not magnetic - they don't even hold a paper clip - I think they are cable tidies. And besides, wrapping a current carrying cable around a magnet will do very little to the voltage in the cable unless the magnet is moving relative to the cable. Correction - the charge is moving relative to the clamp so if it were a magnet it would affect it (by a tiny amount).

Meh! A whole conversation in one sound - sounds like a way to reduce my effort levels even more! And you would never be wrong either!!

Surely just plug it in and see?
