Stefan Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) Hello,I bought my Sony MZ NF-810 in spring 2003. Exactly now, when the warranty is over, the player is going crazy. I can transfer files from Sonic Stage to the Player via USB. But if I listen to the songs, they sound really strange, like underwater. I have this problem since two weeks. Old MDs are played very well. When I record through line in or mic, everything is ok too. I changed the minidisc, reinstalled all the drivers and sonic stage (3.1), tried different bitrated and songs but nothing happened. I've also changed recording options (LP2 and LP4, as well as SP-mode) but it's all the same. The earphones are ok, the underwatersound remains, if I connect the player with my stereo. And as I told you, old recording are played perfectly.I asked Sony support, but they told me to go to one of those repair shops. I don't have the money for that...My PC is in a good condition. USB works fine with digicam and harddisk. I use WinXP prof. with all updates. Yes, I've scanned for viruses - but nothing was found.I don't want to record everything with line in, I bought the player because of the NetMD feature. Do you have any idea how to solve the problem? Thanks. Edited June 22, 2005 by Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I solved the problem:Now I use the M3U2SBurner in combination with simple burner and daemon tools. Thanks to Paolo, who did a great job with this program.There are no more underwater sounds!I hate Sonic Stage! But Minidisc is great.

dex Otaku Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 The problem you were experiencing is with SS's LP2 codec [the highest quality available for NetMD use from both SS and Simple Burner]. Basically, IMO, it's crap. I've listened to LP2 recordings made live and found them to be of listenable [if not always high] quality. SS's LP2 codec sounds like garbage to me.

greenmachine Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 I'd understand if they'd be slightly sacrificing the precision of hardware encoding in favor of battery life, but why should they be crippling software encoding? Makes no sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 As has been theorised over many times before here, probably because of speed issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
