Thanks for all the input folks. Yes, I should experiment a little, but of course that's why we have forums - to ask opinions. Everything I put on md will be from cd, and it's really just for use on my walkman md (in the gym/walking the dogs) or in the aux input of the car (more rarely). So mp3 like sound is acceptable to me. I do have a home md unit but don't use it now. So as I said, I just want to fill up some of the older md's and get a decent amount on them, but with reasonably good quality. Unless I missed it, Sonicstage doesn't seem to give any suggestions. I'll make some comparisons anyway. All the best.

Thanks for your time - cleared it up for me.

Hello All Been a while since I looked in here. I've had md for many years and a couple of years ago purchased a Sony RH 910 but haven't used it in a while. I've d/loaded what I think is the latest Sonicstage - 4.3. Bit rusty with conversions etc but as I have tons of the regular md's, I want to start filling them up. What is the "best" bitrate for regular use? I understand it's subjective - just wondering what people think is the best mix of quality and space used, or you mostly use. Also - I don't see an Atrac3 plus option. Also - can this md import mp3 (more curious than anything, Atrac is supposed to be better anyway?) Any advice appreciated. Cheers.

Wow... this is a difficult forum to navigate imho. KrazyIvan - thanks for taking the trouble to reply. I was concerned about copying a live cd that had no gaps onto MD. I did try (after my first post) a live bootleg I had and, it plays fine - no gaps at all so it looks like the software recognises this. All seems to be well. Thanks again.

Hi all Been a fan of MD for some years now and recently purchased a Sony RH-910. My question isn't regarding how to record live - it's how to make sure those live recordings I do have will transfer to MD without a 2 second gap. Have to be honest and say I haven't tried it yet with any of them, I'm having fun copying my prog rock onto the numerous older MD's I have - nad so much space (even on those). Anyway - any advice on this appreciated. Thanks.
