Thanks for replying. I will look at Simple Burner. When you say copy the book...do you just mean copy and then paste into the right hand section of the Check out area?Sorry to be such a dummy!

THIS SUCKS Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 just play the whole book overnight then record using your computers sound card audio out into your md line in. then you can do whatever you want with it. use lp4 and you will get 5 hrs of recording on 1 disk.

The overall progress is 13% in about 2 hours. I do hope this is normal. I will try audacity when I am finished here.I am scared that I may end up in a right mess with the length of time this new Sonicstage programme is taking to install. It seems odd that it is taking so long to install.Any clues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anniel Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I am back to say thank you all for your patience and help. First of all the book was on my PC having been downloaded as MP3 files.Sonicstage 4.2 finally installed sucessfully and this morning I transferred the files to my minidisc player. It took 4 minidiscs to take the book. Each of the eight files was around 26.5 mb long, a total of 212mb.I recall reading in tips and tricks that a book should fit on 2 minidiscs....it must depend on the length of the book.I find Soinicstage easy to use, although I have not gone into the finer pointsa and I just kept all the values to default.Should a book of this length have taken up 4 discs, or is there something else I am doing wrong?

Anniel Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I cannot recall that a screen asked me , but I guess it must have. What bitrate do you recommend for audio books ( which I will only listen to once) and for music which is generally esay listening and classical when I am travelling.

greenmachine Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I cannot recall that a screen asked me , but I guess it must have. What bitrate do you recommend for audio books ( which I will only listen to once) and for music which is generally esay listening and classical when I am travelling.For speech LP4 (66kbps) should be sufficient, while for music I'd use LP2 (132kbps) with NetMD, since to be able to use the highest quality mode SP (292kbps ), you would need to do a realtime transfer. With LP4, your mentioned audio books should fit on two MDs.With an mp3 player you wouldn't need all the transcoding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
