A440 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 LP4 on an 80-minute disc is the maximum for your unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A440 Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 ATRAC is a compression format, the way mp3 or wma or aac are compression formats. It's Sony's own compression format. You are using ATRAC if you are using SP, LP2 or LP4. LP4 should give you 320 minutes on an 80-minute disc, and LP2 should give you 160 minutes.

KJ_Palmer Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 SP = Stereo Playback (or sometimes Standard Play) = 292 kbps.(The least compressed stereo format that minidisc originally offered).Its really what the 60, 74 or 80 minute minidisc refers to (ie. the amount of recording time available in SP mode)...

The Low Volta Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 o ok thanks alot how about in Lp4 mode with a 1 gb hi-md disc? how many songs you think can be stored?←none unless you buy a Hi-MD unit to use the 1gig discs with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 In fact even then still none as you can't put LP4 on a Hi-MD disk, only NetMD formatted 'normal' disks. The nearest equivalent would be Hi-LP (64kbps) or 48kbps, which would allow you to put several thousand songs on a 1 GB disk.. (probably)...

veezhun Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 i think you can put LP4 on a hi md disk using Sonic stage.. i can see the atrac 3 format even when i am using the Himd in the Hi md mode... i also transferred some tracks in lp4 format on the rh10..

Michael1980 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 IMO Hi-LP is better than LP4 so the might as well put that on HiMD discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 If you go back to the initial question, he has an N10. It won't play Hi-MD discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
