I didn't even know there were other colours but the silver I have...
That was a terribly disorganized site, btw.

When I import some mp3 tracks into Sonicstage 4.3 and then try to convert and concurrently put those tracks on an Hi-MD disc in Hi-LP (using a NH-900, NH-1, whatever) SonicStage almost immediately crashes.
Can't Sonicstage handle vbr files? If so, what would be the best bet for a temporary, in-between conversion that keeps the tag info?
-
Three more are currently available through eBay UK, CLEARANCE PRICED!!!

Still one left. I have too many other Hi-MD's (3*NH600, NH900, 2*NH1, DH10) I don't need one more... ;-)

That Sony chart is well away from reality.
-
At least before they shipped worldwide, though only by courier (fast, but expensive)
-
ABT ( http://www.abtelectronics.com/product/27148.html ) still has it at USD$287...

Thanks, very fast download

Does Sony only check their software on one computer configuration?
There's nothing that suggests that Sony uses anything but the compiler for testing.
-
You could check at TNT Audio: http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/solidstate.html
...but if you look around more at the site, you'll find the recommendation for the T-amp: http://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/t-amp_e.html
...and suddenly DIY doesn't seem that invitating...

I find ripping CD's into ATRAC Lossless (352) is about the best compromise since it preserves space on the computer, can be converted (Losslessly) to PCM, and is the fastest way from lossless to 352 which is what I use when transferring to HI-MD.
It's not so much "Space Preserving" since it includes both a (compressed) lossless as well as a 352 kbps lossy part in the Atrac Lossless file...
-
Better upload the SP tracks to PCM/WAV and edit by a standard audio editing program.
-
No, with a Hi-MD I can't see any reason for upgrading from 3.4 to 4.0.
-
Since you're in Europe you also have the MZ-NH600 (not MZ-NH600D) as a cheaper choice, but only if you have a self-powered microphone since the NH600 only has a line in and no mic in. I paid around £35 last year for mine.

MiniDisc Canada has lowered their price to CDN$199 (~US$172).
Thanks for the info - I can just say "Eeek!" about Eek Technology's business ethics, giving me a total price for a DH10P including shipping to Sweden and when I accepted that they said they couldn't accept it...
Very easy to order/pay at Minidisc Canada using PayPal
-
104 mph or kbps?
-
Five days and now the Price is us$208.95 I think it's still a good offer
Now up to $259.95, for me I would also have to add a "$25 incoming money wire fee" and shipping to Sweden. If unlucky, then customs and our high VAT. No MZ-DH10P for me.
-
Their shipping policies mainly say that "It is too late to receive an order by Christmas!!", but if you try to order and get it shipped outside North America it won't work...

I have a Sony Ericsson P900, which is a couple of years older technology than the W900 with max 128MB MS Duo. A DVD shrunk to fit into 128MB isn't any good, but the better quality option (taking around 150-200MB depending on movie length) is surprisingly good. Also the sound in the earphones. I have watched several DVD movies on it, no fatigue, even subtitles were clearly readable.
I had no sync issues whatsoever, however P900 uses a different format (though there may be mpeg4 hidden inside anyway).
-
It would be so nice if Sony made a car unit, but I don´t have a car
Car's included.
A home deck would be interesting for me, could replace the JB-940.
-
You mean if I record using HiMD I can upload using Sonic Stage? I'm going to try it right now.
It worked! Man. Anyone want to purchase a stack of NetMDs?
If you mean NetMD discs, you can just reformat them to Hi-MD format. They will then hold almost twice as much as before and also allow you to upload your recordings.
-
No, I haven't heard that it has changed. Having ATRAC Lossless (at least if it's the same as in 3.3) is similar to having one FLAC version and one lossy ATRAC3+ version of the song, the positive difference is only that you have one file for each song instead of two.
If it was just a bug that should be corrected the lossy part of the file would be useless. The lossless part would then be used both for playback on computer and to convert from when transfering to Minidisc. The only reason for taking up the extra storage would be if you often transfer/erase because you have very few discs, if you want to have the same bitrate as already the lossy part is encoded into it could be transfered without any conversion at transfer time.

Just tried the stripping of tags prior to and after transferring... (Transferred mp3 as-is to RH10)
Noticed that the file size is slightly less after the transfer, and the header is moved... Therefore, obviously the MD5 and CRC32 values are changed.
Before Transfer:
Size: 11526811 bytes
Header found at: 1040 bytes
Length: 480 seconds
MPEG 1.0 layer 3
192kbit, 18411 frames
44100Hz Stereo
CRCs: No
Copyrighted: No
Original: No
Emphasis: None
After Transfer:
Size: 11525643 bytes
Header found at: 0 bytes
Length: 480 seconds
MPEG 1.0 layer 3
192kbit, 18411 frames
44100Hz Stereo
CRCs: No
Copyrighted: No
Original: No
Emphasis: None
You could always try to re-transfer the same tracks (the one's you re-upped, not the originals ) one more time and check if they will change somewhat every time or only after the first transfer
-
Thanks for that graph, actually it shows more difference between 256 and 352 than I thought (and that meaning less difference between 352 and original than I thought) - 352 seems to be able to replace PCM for those very complicated classical tracks where 256kbps isn't quite enough.
-
Also, how well is your Denon MD recorder isolated from the shelf (or whatever it's on)?
Are you using Toslink (optical) cables?

I don't think there's much to do. Either it works from the beginning, or not - there aren't any settings to change toget the remote to work with more players.
