Net MD, Hi MD uploading/downloading

[Darkflame]

Couple of new questiond for you guru's up there.

1. Can you make a legacy audio disc via a RH1 then later take that disc, re-download the disc back to the original pc to be made into a new playlist and sent back to disc. (original audio files would be removed from the pc after the original disc is made)

2. I understand that Hi-MD's are arranged in groups to make it easier to navigate. I read that SS makes a new group when a new cd is ripped. Does the SS software remember the arist of the group?..I.E I rip Barneys greatest hits, which goes to group1, then I rip Love licks greatest come on lines to group2, then I realize that barney's got a new hit cd. if I ripped barneys new cd would it add the tracks to group1 again or make a group3?

Also can you rename the groups to represent genre's or styles etc..i.e Party Music, RAP, Comedy etc or do they have to have the generic gp0001

don't mind my cd collection, it's purely fictional just as the usps guy that was supposed to arrive with my new toy.

Right here's the answers simply for you....

1. Can you make a legacy audio disc via a RH1 then later take that disc, re-download the disc back to the original pc to be made into a new playlist and sent back to disc. (original audio files would be removed from the pc after the original disc is made)

You certainly can. But you need to be careful that SP mode is not "true" SP mode when using a PC to transfer to disc. Its sent as LP2 and then transcoded into SP for playback compatiblity with legacy hardware. So you will get LP2 quality unfortunately unless you record realtime through line-in/optical on the RH1 unit. These certainly can be transfered back and forth.

2. I understand that Hi-MD's are arranged in groups to make it easier to navigate. I read that SS makes a new group when a new cd is ripped. Does the SS software remember the arist of the group?..I.E I rip Barneys greatest hits, which goes to group1, then I rip Love licks greatest come on lines to group2, then I realize that barney's got a new hit cd. if I ripped barneys new cd would it add the tracks to group1 again or make a group3?

With Hi-MD (not sure if it applies to all gen models), but you can tag each song individually with SS (SS does this for you when you rip a CD for example and transfer it over). You can also name the group and any of the Hi-MD equipment should read that also when changing different groups. So you can name a group the Artist + Album title.

Hope this helps.

Just to claify a bit, if you previously have say 4 groups on a Hi-MD, and then wish to transfer more tracks into say the first group on the Hi-MD later on, it is as simple as clicking on that group before clicking the transfer button.

By default it would most likely make a new group for that album.
