Hey Booj , it is a Standard USB A type to B type , PC Depot , Comp USA , will have it in stock , 5$ or so , Get a short one , you will have less transfer glicthes

ROTFLMAO

Obviously my mention of 24 tracks drove you over the edge...............

Might improve the sex life , and the 3 Band EQ is FULLY SWEEPAble , fully parametric Mids Seperate EQ on All channels, as well as a Master EQ Also I went to the forums on the 2488 and found out how to upgrade the Harddrive , It writes the drive in 28 bit , instead of 32 , so you have a 120 gb limit but 120 Gigs is a 120 Gigs "24 Track 120 Gig machine available for rent with Engineer " I can just see the ads now WAHHOOOOOOOOO!!!!

RayzRay , you mighta been Da perfect mon but I be about ta Break your ground sir. I am about to buy a Tascam 2488 , I found one in "Perfect Condition" The owner couldnt figure it out so they dumped it . I just downloaded the OM , and Firmware update, Application guide , videos etc , I will pick it up tommorrow TWENTY FOUR TRACKS of DIGITAL BLISS , By the way the Last Umpteen zillion Alan parsons engineered albumns as well as his own were done Mostly on Tascam,Senheisser, Combonations

I just sent an e-mail with a link to the posts about their service. I hope you get it resolved soon

No Prob dude ,

C.S.N "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" www.ASFRRadio.com and yes it is going IN to my MD so therefore it belongs in this topic now playing , 10,000 Maniacs "These are the days we will Remember " If she ony knew How twisted those words would become. I grew up on Radio .

I sent them an e-mail , about this , got an automated reply that said "We try to respond to ALL inquiries within 24 hours" I said " I belong to a board that has 54,000 possible/not possible customers , which do you prefer ? Your service is being spoken about and people who actually live IN Canada right down the street from you( so to speak) and they are waiting on orders and communication, What gives?"

Captain Beefheart , Rainbow , Iggy Pop , Camel, a very eclectic mix

Now 27 hrs into "Archiving " the internet Radio , playing at the moment "Rough Boys" by The Who. Very rare Jethro Tull , and Rush Xanadu , as well as Genesis First albumn were played , (8 hours + in HiMD lp mode on one standard MD is kinda cool eh!) March 31 is coming quickly ,

Been watching Total Recall huh?

I appreciate that Rich but the iPod reference is just the ubiquitus mp3 standard , dont get me wrong , I have the MicroTrack 24/96 and a buttload of audio gear that would be absolutely uneeded by the average user , so I have heard the quality of all of them . Atrac versus mp3 in a nutshell , is that over 320 kbs ,that is where it gets down to frequency analysis , below that 128, 64 etc Atrac is audibly better , My beef with him was the archive issue where he stamped his foot down and said that is was NOT a good archive media which would be misinformation to ANY newbie or someone contemplating the MD purchase . When in fact you can ply frisbee across a parking lot with an MD to your Buds in another car , it bounces off the door they get out , pick it up , throw it in the deck and start jammin. MO drives are just big MD'S .......with the wrong format

The issue is as you said but are mistaken in understanding , MD being not a good ARchive media, There are soo many MD players if my player breaks it doesnt harm my collection ,. not one bit , Just get another player , You have to jump thru hoops to upload from your iPod , download is drag and drop or sync , but to upload no no no Apple doesnt like that idea, that would be (God Forbid ) "Sharing" Line out on the MD is DRM free, and Practically noise free, Real time isnt an issue for an Audiophile, it is an enjoyment. It is only a problem for those who wish to say " My mp3 collection is bigger than yours." Well My Wave Files are BIGGER and BETTER and I can do more with em. Like import them to Ableton live, or Protools, or Cubase , or Traktion or any other multitrack recording software or Studio setupout there and get the results I really want , you cannot do that with mp3 , and as for the arguement that this isnt about wave , my waves came from Atrac, HI MD format , Standard MD format , LP , SP , whatever , and are sonically useable , whereas mp3 has soo many artifacts in them that in studio reference monitors , you would cup your ears and turn it off. Even if support drops for MD from Sony , There are SOOO many used MD's out there it would take all of 5 minutes to replace one, example , I bought a Kenwood MD Recorder in the junk bin at a place called HardOff , no accessories but working for 840 yen. get your calculator out . I believe the rate is 115 yen to the dollar. the list of MD Players and recorders on my ID is very Incomplete , I have a supply , I log stuff to HiMD just to catch it , but I will rerecord it on a Legacy recorder so it will play on anything. mp3 is only good for portable audio and streaming audio . All I repeat ALL of the music you buy , or has been produced was produced in a format Much more maleable than mp3 , I will agree that ATRAC is Sony SOftware exclusive , But the line output is universal and its clean. As for the personal comment , I will retract but I want you to know that the way you slammed MD as an Archive really pissed me off , it is on the Technical ascpect , the Perfect Archive media , there isnt one better , mp3 will get corrputed after awhile, MD is embedded and permanent , every time you defrag a harddrive or move a file bits/bytes are lost , that to me is the worst form of archiving . By the way , I still have my Vinyl , not a scratch over 150 LP's , 300 plus MD's And two Harddrives packed with um dare i say it mp3's

Your an idiot, I have MD's that are ten years old and still play perfectly , and sound exactly the same as they did the day I recorded them , and If I need to get it into my Comp and edit I have the Patience to record it real time into my souncard losing precious little in sound quality . Further Mac soft will let you download Wav and MP3 on the RH1 , which is what the "Working Musician " needs ( of which I am one , and a Studio engineer) MD Makes the Perfect Archive , as that it does not get subjected to Magnetic feilds, or debris , or scratches , or corrupted hard drive "Ooops I got a Virus and have the reformat my harddrive" You can record from ANY SOURCE YOU WANT TO , With level controls , and fine tuning that your iPod will never do( oh yeah there is a guy trying to get advice on how to restart his iPod on another forum. gee , lets see Dead iPod , hmmmm= lost music collection, And at this very moment , I am "Archiving " the last of Internet Radio ......YES on MD !!!! ( research what the RIAA has just done , NPR.ORG has a wonderful article)

Just the name of the game precludes that it should be put thru a shredder.

Buy a HI MD , your iPod will never record like an RH1 , nor will it be as reliable,You might not be able to play games on the Md but that isnt what the MD is about ,....It's about the sound baby. And yes ... the RH1 will play mp3's

Hey Ray , My kid says he hates you , he still hasnt seen Happy feet .

I am listening to Radio Paradise with my RH1 hooked up to the optical out of my computer recording what may be the last of Internet Radio http://www.radioparadise.com

Amen .....Download "Audion 3 " if you have a Mac , And record as much of the Internet Radio as you can before they start shutting it down , I grew up on Radio , and real DJ's spinning Real Vinyl on Real Turntables. In My view It has only moved from Radio waves to Internet Audience , so why didnt they fight for all these "Copyright Violations " When we were recording and listening to FM the ONLY difference here is the Audience is Bigger , We still have Commercials etc , and the programming isnt as good as it was on FM days. Anyone here remember the " Kingbiscuit Flour Hour" Or the "Sunday Seven " where they would play Seven Full Albumns in a row With only a commercial break in between Albumns , and the DJ would TELL YOU , " While the Commercial is going get another tape in your decks , and get it ready ...coming up next Rush Moving Pictures , and after that we will have a Special treat so stay tuned" Anybody remember that ?

First off which recording did you download (Mine perhaps?) then you can get an Idean of how it was done. Second with those kind of Loud levels the Mic that your using will itself need to be able to handle the SPL's if it isnt capable it wont matter what you do in the machine. Check out this ( it is in Japanese but it has lots of pics) http://www.audio-technica.co.jp/products/dj-plus/at-ma2.html this might only be available by order I dont know if its in the US ,This has power for a stereo mic plus Gain control that will actually let you control the peaks of the mic better . Use a couple 9 volt batts wired in parrelel, plugged into this then plug into the line level input of whatever machine you choose .

Everyone read this , http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9163084 Read it thouroughly , and see how it will endup for everyone in the long run Update , All the Internet Radio stations are now plugging for support in this issue. We are about to go into the dark ages again

I am listening to " kotoba ojiisan" from NHK I am listening to " kotoba ojiisan" from NHK
