mz-r70user Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 i have an old portable md player that came out before the net md. it is the sony mz-r70. i borrowed my friend's net md player to make a disc since those could record faster and record more songs. the problem is that the discs will not play on my player. they work fine on the net md player. is there any way to get my player to play those discs or am i out of luck?

KJ_Palmer Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 You must be using LP2 or LP4 mode. Your R70 can only play SP (normal stereo) mode recordings, as it's so old. You can use sonicstage (but not simpleburner) to export 'fake' SP that will play on your R70. Note that fake SP is only LP2 (132kbps) dressed up as SP.

rei-gouki Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 And where, pray tell, do you find your information for that?I remember seeing that in the manual. But then I'm living in a relatively MD back water where they provided OpenMG with the NetMD... Also, I did notice a few menu options mentioning it when I was fiddling with the settings on Sonic Stage 2.x trying to set the output compression (as I didn't get a manual with my copy).

This is what the OP will need to have done in order to play it back on his MZ-R70. Assuming the source that he is encoding it from is greater than the rate of SP it will be fine sound quality and will work with out a problem.

rei-gouki Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Well, yes, it does export in SP. That isn't in dispute. But the bit that's important is that the track's quality is, at maximum, a 132kbps ATRAC3 which is LP2 grade as stated by KJ_Palmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
