nhcbybik Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I'm trying to establish: 1. whether I could use the new hard disc unit to store perhaps 100 cd's at an equivalent quality to the "old" minidisc I know and like (not bought it yet) 2. whether I can keep a library of CD's on my PC in that quality compression and download them to the hard disc portable more than once (if necessary) 3 whether I could use that PC library to stream by wireless network to my hi-fi without losing quality. 4 whether there is software that would convert an analogue signal from vinyl to linear PCM so that I can upload my old vinyl to PC 5. whether sonic stage would convert those linear PCM files on my PC to Atrac3+ so that I could store the vinyl in high quality Atrac format (which is what I use my old minidisc deck for). Any help with this would be gratefully received! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
