MAYBE THE PODCASTS HAVE CHANGED. YOU COULD CONVERT THEM TO WAVE FIRST THEN TRANSFER THEM.

didnt they say they couldnt make pre-recorded disks. i thought they couldnt be stamped but had to be recorded? that would take forever...

its the aoudio chips used for playback. i notice the difference between different md units. its easy to tell.

yea. sony better bring us a deck soon. why are they waiting so long. they only need to make 1 model as long as its a good one.

I AGREE COMPLETLY

i have had many md units i think it is broken. if you can return it and get another one.

dont use it for anything or you will erase more of your disks randomly. it happened to me before.

dont use anything lower quality than hi-sp you will be upset with the way it sounds.

Stay with MD. Even if they stopped making it there are literally hundreds of thousands of old and used ones available. MD is awesome!!!

see if you can play the disk through sonic stage.

were you doing a edit and did the battery die?

i have had several md units never an hd player but i had 2 of the same unit and 1 of them always sounded a little off. i thought it was just me theni got a new one of the same type of unit and wow what a difference. the first unit obvoiusly had a problem. other people in this fourm a hav had this problewm with md units before. it might just be your specific unit has a lousy output... i know it might sound strange but it definitly was true in my case so anohter hd unit even of the same model might sound better.

i always use the highest rate i can. but i think recompressing at 352k instead of 256k is probabily a waste of space but using 256k would be a good idea if you want to preserve as much sound quality as possible.

i thought stamped pre recorded hi-md disks were not possible to make like regular cd's???

USE HI-SP 256k. i think its easy to tell the difference when converting from 192k mp3 in comparison to lp2 132k.

trust me just use lp2 it will be very close to what you want.

try to adjust the settings of your cd player in your computer. it sounds like the songs were imported incorrectly. i t happened to me 1 time. there might even be a setting in sonic stage for this. it takes longet to inport this way but as long as it works.

i have that deck. i like it. use 80 min disks all the time. you could try to clean the laser. i noticed a problem with mine. if th temp in the room goes over 100 degrees farenheit the unit does not record correctly. it also has a dirty eject switch- sometimes you have to tap on the unit to get the disk out.

i wonder what atrac 1.1 sounds like? i can tell by listening that version 4.5 does not sound as good as atrac type-r. if you use the analog in from a good quality deck output how does the recording sound compared to the original.

all decks and players will play md 80min disks.

dont buy a hi md unit if all you want to do us load disks quicker for your old md. the unit you have is nice. just get a the cheapest thing you can find and use that and do all your listening on your old one.

you cant stick with 192 mp3 if you listen on the md unit. it does not play mp3 only atrac files.use lp2 at 132 kbps. it will be fine...

a service center will charge you an arm and a leg. try different headphones or maybe you could hook it up to your hi-fi and try it that way. i had one it was my first md. it was awesome. its broke and gone now. i miss it...

no you need an old deck an old bookshelf or a net md unit hooked up to the pc.

done even think of using lp4! i'm serious its sh*t. and sounds even worse. unless you are deaf or your headphones really suck! you will be sorry later...
