I was greedy sucker, >> i was greedy for disc space.

Hi, -

is there a way to re-do, re-mix minidiscs 74 & 80 min recorded in LP4 to LP2 format, (i mean not on the MD deck but on the computer using some kind of program).

I officially now hate LP4 for music quality, why I did record in that LP4, = I have not a clue. Grrrrrrr !!!!

But I think i was greedy for disc space.

That's it - i wAs greedy sucker

People PLEASE Love U-rr selfs and Love music, and do not cheat U-rr selfs and do not be greedy for disc space and do not steal from U-rr selfs the joy of listening to descent quality of music. Life is to short and to precious for that. 'I'm now paying price for that = i'm loosing my mind - i think of myself as of a cheap thief - music quality thief. Fuuuu !!!!

LP4 or low quality MP3 for music is a sin !!!.

God give us two ears and We are capable in greedy attitude {-like my self- } of reducing music quality to one ear status.

There should be A gov. law on minimum level of music distortion /quality in ALL sold to the public equipment to play music.

There is no reason for manufacturing unsafe cars and low quality music players.

Ufffff - i',m venting my frustration now at my self.

OK - i'm done now

Thanks for spending U-rr time reading this.

Cheeers, ......

So sorry, i was thinking that i'm editing my previous post.

I was going to add this

I know that U can say that if i like that much dE highest quality of music than to stick with original Cd , .... but U see I do like the idea of squeezing more music on Md or on Cd, more then original Cd has, but it should be a limit , and for me a least from now On the limit is LP2 quality.

Nothing less

The only way to get your music into LP2 quality is to re-record it from the original source (cd, etc.).

You can't just record something in LP4 and then decide you want to have it in LP2. And besides, that would be transcoding and your music will end up sounding even worse in LP2 than it did in LP4 mode to begin with.

Thanks zerodB

My (partial) apology to the LP4.

Yes , I must apologize and return part of the honor to the LP4. .....WHY ??

Well, - what i'm going to disclose it will be not so glorious on my self , but it is the truth , and truth is more important than my ego.

Here it goes, ... (please do not laugh -- to loud).

I have my Sony MDS-JE 470 deck for almost 4 years, and believe it or not - only today for the first time i took the digital /optical cable and connected to it.

I do have two sets of Monster cables for line in and out, from my MD deck to my Sony MiniSystem CMT-EX200.

And I recorded the same part of a song from a Cd (aprx 90 seconds) in 3 modes via Digital/optical line, - in Stereo, LP2 and in LP4, and I did the same again via analogue Monster cables, in Stereo, LP2 and in LP4.

And i was SHOCKED !!!

Totaly shocked, = the quality of LP4 recording via digital/optical cable was definitely (definitely) better than Stereo recording via analogue cable. WoooW.

But of course LP2 via digital/optical cable is the best combining sound quality and extra quantity.

I know this is ancient truth for many of U, -but i just discover that today.

But the thing is that the MD deck can not record from radio via optical cable, only from CD.

And something bad happened to my AM radio reception.

The FM is playing OK - but when i switch to AM - it shows stations on display, but no sound is coming from all of the AM stations.

Even volume is not moving OK when switched to AM, (... it is mowing very very slow) , on FM is moving fast, -no problems.

I have other radios and AM stations are working.

So i'm saddd) ....I lost my AM reception.

Is it possible that connecting optical cable did it ??

I turned the radio Off for 15 min, no change. I did not disconnected from power yet, - i wonder if it will help.?

So my joyous digital discovery has a victim in AM.

Any ideas, ? - is it the battery in remote perhaps, it was not changed since brand new ,(3 years) it is some kind of special flat battery i did not even look at it yet, - but FM and CD is working OK. - so i don't think is the battery in remote.

Cheeers,....

Hi, -

I was just checking remote control again,

and the volume is moving OK now, = (when the radio is turned to AM station), but it is not playing, there is a bit of "hiss" sound coming form speakers. , the display shows proper AM radio stations, but no sound. the FM stations are playing OK.

I can not believe that because I connected optical cable from Mini System to MD deck and recorded couple of samples from CD player that I lost my AM reception.

Any ideas what might be wrong, ....?

dude your am antenna is in the back near the optical out. you either bumped it loose or broke a wire some how. they are somewhat fragile. check to make sure its hooked up still and positioned ok.

Thanks man , ...

indeed U are right it was the antenna.

And I was checking it before , but i did not noticed that one cable come off - the whole unit is positioned that it is very hard to see behind the back panel.

Thanks again, ...i was thinking that it was some kind of LP4 ghost ... getting back at me , ha ha

1]. So if I understand correctly there is no computer program that i can "run" the LP4 recording with it and do re-mixing /re-recording to a LP2 format ?

I'm still surprised at huge difference between analogue and digital recording.

I was expecting to hear the sound quality difference, but to have LP4 in digital recording to sound much much better than Stereo in analogue is just mind blowing.

2]. Do You guys here have the same experience with such sound quality difference between optical LP4 and analogue Stereo, or is this my "lower" line MD deck -Sony MDS-JE 470 model that is recording in such a way. ?

1)LP2 is encrypted on the MD with DRM, so there is no program that can 'manipulate' it in the first place. And as zerodB pointed out, even if that was possible, you can't get better bit rate from something with a low bit rate (the quality will not inprove).

Thank You Roamer and (zerodB again).

Well it must be in that case left as LP4.

I learned my lesson well.

And did You experienced this also same as me ?
