RobA Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I heard that if put in mono mode intstead of stereo, an MD player can hold double the amount of space. Does that mean that I can put a NetMD in LP4 mode and Mono instead of stereo and it will hold 540 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 It's a pretty simple calculation:SP-------80 minMONO--160 minLP2-----160 minLP4-----320 minIt's not possible to use LP4 or LP2 in mono mode. LP4 already uses some channel narrowing, so it's neither real stereo nor mono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenmachine Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 If the average song is no longer than 3min36sec and your ears accept the quality... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Low Volta Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 I'm not converting from a cd i so i'm not losing too much quality, right ?on the contrary... no matter how good (cfr SP) or how bad (cfr LP4) the lossy compression is you're using... the main rule is GIGO: garbage in = garbage out.what do I mean with this? well, if you rip from CD->LP4, you will have a better result than MP3->LP4 because a lossy compression (LP4) leaves out info so starting from full info (CD) will give the codec a better option to select which info to leave out, while using MP3 (another lossy compression so already reduced info) means two lossy compressions are used so info will be dropped two times (and no, they do not simply drop the same info )bottom line... whenever you use a lossy compression, just go for the best quality source material to start from, as the worse the source is, the worse the result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1itgirl2 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) I wish to understand why real player will not allow me to change the bit rate on my net md. I have a mz-dn430 and have tried to transfer music with sonic stage, but continue to get error, I have called sony and their only response was that have os is windows xp-upgrade and ahve acctually said that there was nothing that they could do for me. This has become a very frustrating issue for me because of the fact that if you can't call customer on the product that you bought an extended policy on and get help, who is going to help you. I have again, Sony feels they need to provide the world with products, however, not all these products are great and should have never been sold. It is time for Sony to stop resting on the past reputation of greatnes. Edited October 18, 2005 by beener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
