gamer8668 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) Some of the tracks that I convert to Atrac3plus and upload from my computer to my MZ-NH900 using Sonicstage, have gaps in the tracks when I play them on my MD. However, when I play them on Sonicstage and on my computer they're fine. I've also tried ripping tracks directly from my CDs to the MD with MD Simple Burner but the same problem occurs. I'm also thinking of buying a PSP so I'd like to find out whats wrong before I decided to buy the PSP (which uses the same software and formats as MiniDisc Players). I apologize in advance if this is considered a software problem (I'm not sure if its a format problem or a software problem...)

A440 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 The first thing you should do is try another disc to see if it's just a problem with the disc itself. If you've already tried that, then:Are you connecting through a USB hub rather than directly to a USB port? Do you have a lot of other programs running that might make the computer processor hiccup? Do you have another USB cord you can substitute, in case it's a bad connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriedThe gaps occur with the same tracks over and over again, and the tracks that work always work...so I'm pretty sure its not a problem with the USB cord or Disc...I'm wondering could it be a problem with the format of the Mp3s that I'm trying to convert? Or the format of the files on the CDs that I'm trying to transfer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 MP3 just isn't a gapless format... even when converted there will be gapstry and rip the (non-MP3-)CD in atrac3+ directly (in SS or with SimpleBurner) and they should be gapless (and this would also avoid the quality loss of double conversion)if you haven't got the tracks in 16/44,1 CD-quality, you'll just have to live with the gaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Volta, I think he's talking about gaps within tracks, not between them. gamer, are you trying to convert some CD that has evil copy protection software on it? There's usually a little logo with a C and some black triangles hidden on the back. Or are they very low bitrate (48 kbps) mp3s? If you have an extra Hi-MD disc, how about transferring some CD tracks as PCM, just to experiment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
