  1. Think I know the answer to this, but I don't suppose this is a version of this for macs? What do mac heads use if not?
  2. I have encountered a problem with taking a recording made on my HiMD, which I have imported into SonicStage, and trying to burn it to an audio CD. It transfers across OK but I have noticed that on the CD the recording 'jumps' at the track marks. The recording sounds fine though on the minidisc. Does anyone know what the cause might be and whether there is anyway to transfer a HiMD recording to CD without this happening? I have a MZ-RH910 and use SonicStage 4.3. mercurius
  3. Hi MDane, Manythanks for your advice. mercurius
  4. I am just about to change my PC and am doing some basic maintenance. Can anyone tell me where the recordings in my Library are stored on the C drive. I would like to carry them over to the new PC but can't seem to find where they are stored. Thanks, mercurius
  5. The flimsy clip on the headphones that came with my MZ-RH910 has broken off. Can anyone recommend an alternative that is more robust. Thanks, mercurius
  6. For some reason, SS4.3 won't work with XP. Whenever I open it up and try and import a recording, it just freezes. I notice that when I close it down through Windows Task Manager it says that Omgjbox.exe experienced a serious problem. Is that a clue? It has coincided with the fact that I can't access Add or delete programmes in Control panel - but I don't know if the problems are related. I have tried re-installing the programme, but to no effect. I would really appreciate any help with sorting this out as I can't use SS at the moment to download recordings. Thanks, mercurius
  7. Hi guys, Thank for your help with this. I don't think it's the disc, having checked it. Using the hold slider sounds like a good idea which I'll try next time I'm recording anything from the radio - especially Wagner! mercurius
  8. I recently set up my MZ - RH910 to record a long opera on the radio (c.5hrs - it was Wagner after all). I set it on the HI - LP recording mode (handbook says it should give 10+ hrs on an 80 min disc) and I kept checking through the headphones that it was recording OK. After a while I forgot to check since it seemed to be going fine. Then after c.3 hrs I went to check it again and saw that the unit had switched off. It was plugged into the mains and the battery was also full charged. Can anyone suggest what I might have done wrong? Is there something that makes it cut out after it has been recording for a certain amount of time. No one else had beeen near the machine to disturb the cables or anything. Thanks.
  9. Just one final question on this and going back to my original question: Is it possible to play my MZ-RH910 back through my aging Kenwood RX28. I can't find a line out from the minidisc player, but the Kenwood has an AUX line in. I think I know what the answer is but I thought it might be worth asking anyway. Thanks for your advice, mercurius
  10. Can't believe there isn't a deck that copes with MP3!!! Minidisc format is such a combination of deep joy with the quality of the sound and total frustration with the loose ends and things that don't quite connect up. Makes you want to weep. Thanks, guys, for your expert help and advice. mercurius
  11. I have the MZ-RH910 HIMD minidisc recorder and I'm just wondering whether it is possible to find a minidisc deck that would allow me to play recordings (MP3s, etc) and also record on to it via my (aging) midi system (a Kenwood with the code RX28). What are the options - or am I deluding myself that there is a way of doing it without spending a fortune? I have seen various Sony decks on eBay, but not sure whether they take HIMD. Would much appreciate the advice of you technical experts. Thanks, mercurius
  12. Wizard of Oz, Thanks. I've downloaded Audacity, but have never used it before. Can you recommend a simple explanation to doing what I need to do to export the files from SonicStage as a .wav file and then adding the track marks in Audacity and then (preumably) re-importing into SonicStage? I'm a complete klutz at these technical issues! Thanks,
  13. How frustrating is this! I have just been trying to add track marks on the unit and it comes up with the message "CANNOT EDIT". I've tried pausing it and pressing the T mark and the same message comes up. Any suggestions as to why this may be the case and whether there is any way round it? Thanks,
  14. Avrin, This sounds fiddly and a bit hit and miss. Is it possible to add the track marks on the minidisc recorder and then re-import into SonicStage? I thought there was some sort of restriction on re-importing, but not sure about this stuff. Thanks,
  15. Avrin, Thanks for your help and advice. Is it possible to do this in SonicStage? I've already transferred the recording to My Library and I'm just concerned that SonicStage might not let me re-import it when I've added the marks on my minidisc machine. Regards,
  16. Hi, Is there any way to add track marks to an existing recording? I have an MZ-RH910 and recorded a concert of choral music from the radio and would now like to add track marks because I didn't make them manually at the time of recording and didn't set the automatic track device. Is there any way to do it now? It's irritating to have to go through the whole concert everytime I just want to listen to specific parts. Thanks,
  17. No it was an audio CD I was trying to make. mercurius
  18. Thanks A440. Yes it's an MZ-RH910. I can import the files written on the minidisc from cassette into SS4.2 where they appear as HI MD. However, when I write them to CD they appear to transfer, but there's nothing on the CD when I go to play it. I've read the manual and can't find any explanation for it. Any thoughts? Also I am using a normal 80 minute disc and it only seems to be half full, yet I can't get record anything else on it. I was hoping to transfer lots of old cassette material to minidisc this holiday, but it doesn't look as if it will be possible! Regards, mercurius
  19. Further to my query about track marks. I can't seem to import the cassette recording I have made on my minidisc into SS 4.2. I want to be able to make a CD from the minidisc recording. Should I have specified the format before recording? Or is there some other setting I should have made? Thanks, mercurius
  20. I have recorded a music cassette in real time with my minidisc recorder, but unfortunately it has recorded it as one track. Is there anyway to split the songs up into separate tracks retrospectively? If not, how do I re-record it with the tracks added in? Thanks for your help. mercurius
  21. A440, Thanks for the advice. My son converted via iTunes and it works now for some of the tracks, though not all of them will transfer still. One other question: the tracks are Russian but I can't get the Cyrillic to display in SS3.4. Is there any way to get it to show Cyrillic at all? I can't see any settings that allow you to do this. Thanks, mercurius
  22. Guys, I have downloaded some MP3 files but when I try and import them into SS it comes up with an error message: "Cannot find files of the specified format for import (error Code 00007173)" What am I doing wrong? Is there anything I can do to get SS to recognise these files? Many thanks for your advice on this. It has taken ages to find and download this set of files, so am reluctant to start all over again. mercurius
  23. Sebastian B, Thanks for your reply. Forgive my ignorance, but what is HISP? I can't seem to find this an an option in SonicStage. From what you are saying this would be better for music, is that right? Are Goldwave and Audacity free or do you have to pay for them? What else can you use them for? Thanks, mercurius
  24. I am trying to transfer some talks (recorded in MP3) format downloaded from the Internet via Sonic Stage 3.4. On my first attempt I did not convert the files, so nothing recorded. On my second attempt after consulting the manual (not the most illuminating of reads), I converted to ATRAC 132 kpbs. The sound is OK, but not brilliant (requires volume set at highest level setting to hear), though accept that the original recording may not be of the best quality either... Can anyone advise if there is better way of transferring these files to HI-MD to get better sound quality? Of course I am trying to find the right balance between sound quality and disc space. There are about six and a half hours of recordings. Thank you in advance for your advice. mercurius
  25. Apologies for posting without the full spec - you're not mindreaders! The system is a Pentium 4, 2.4 gig, 512MB RAM, with 80gig hard drive, running Windows XP Home Edition with MS Service Pack 2 loaded. I also run Panda Platiunum Internet security as my antivitrus s/w. The CD drive is made by LG and is a 52x24x52 CD-RW (GCE8523B). I have MD Simple Burner 2.00 loaded and updated to SonicStage v3.2 when I installed the Sony software for the first time last night. When I run the CD drive test, an error message keeps coming up which says that the drive failed. However, the drive works OK when I use it normally. I hope this now gives you enough information to help me diagnose the problem. Would appreciate your help. Thanks, mecurius
