Bollwerk Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 After searching here and other places Google sent me, I have come to the conclusion that I cannot merge tracks on my Hi-MD using MD Simple Copy or Sonicstage 3.1. It appears that I have to Import the CD onto my PC using Sonicstage, then merge the tracks into one, then transfer to the Hi-MD. Is there any way to simplify this process? I seem to remember my older MD recorder having the ability to merge tracks in it's menu, but I can't find that option on this one.I have an MZ-NH600D.BTW, the whole reason I need to merge tracks is that I have an unabridged audiobook with 22 CDs and each CD has 99 tracks. The text limitations on the TOC started hitting on the 9th CD. From the middle of the 9th CD on, everything is Untitled.Thanks in advance for any help.

ozpeter Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 You can't merge tracks on the MD that have been transferred from the PC - part of the digital rights management process, I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 The MZ-NH600D doesn't have any editing functions--it expects you to do all the editing on the PC before downloading. If SonicStage is too annoying for combining files, you could also use something likeMediaJoin. http://www.softforall.com/mp3naudoi/Utilit...oin01110029.htmYou'll still have to extract the files from the CDs, though. Try CDexhttp://cdexos.sourceforge.net/ Since it's spoken word, you may not need something as hi-fi as .wav files, so you could extract and convert them to mp3s to save hard-drive space, then join them.

Bollwerk Posted May 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 I ended up just deleting what was on the Hi-MD, then Importing the CDs to My Library in SonicStage, then merging each CD into a single file, then xfer to the Hi-MD. It is a bit cumbersome and time sonsuming, but I didn't see any faster way.Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpeter Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 EAC will rip a CD to a single file (with a separate cue sheet) in one pass. At a glance I'm not sure CDex does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 with cdex you can rip a no. of audio files by using the partial track function, not sue if you can generate a cue sheet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
