Ryno1234 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'm looking to take old minidiscs most likely purchased and recorded around 1995ish era. I assume these would be the first version of ATRAC correct? I would like to get these on my computer for archiving so I can throw away this box of MD's I have. My understanding is that the MZ-RH1 will do this. Is this correct? How about the digital copyright piece? Is this something that will pose a problem? The tracks were recorded originally using standard Analog signal (not digital direct). The tracks are also titled. What is the easiest way to get the tracks from MD to the system without having to do a real-time rip of the audio? Thank you so much!

sfbp Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Should be no problem with RH1, exactly what it was made to do. You will need a PC running Windows with a USB port. Let us know if you have questions. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know if you have questions. Good luck! Thanks so much! Im going to try to snag one of those. Will it retrieve track Titles too? If so, what format is the data written in when it comes over to the PC? (given that .wav doesn't hold titles) Thanks again so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 yes it makes a file with the right title wav is an option, you get (also) an .oma file (these are annoying because restricted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryno1234 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 can i please have the old disks you are going to throw in the trash. i will pay the shipping? thanks Possibly, I have to get permission from the person who owns them (I'm doing this project for them) and confirm I can get rid of them, but I suspect (as I mentioned) that they will no longer be useful to us. I'd say check back with me in 1 month after the project is done and I'll have an answer. Take care! Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno1234 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I have one other question. Is there any device out there aside from the MZ-RH1 that will do what I'm looking for? This is a quite and expensive device and if I don't have to purchase something that expensive, I'd like to find a more affordable option. If this is my only option, I'm willing to buy one and turn around to resell it back into the market after I've used it. Thanks again!

sfbp Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 No. You will find the MZ-M200 is the same device including a microphone, for about $100 more. In Japan there were (/are?) companies renting out RH1 for this very purpose, owing to the high penetration of MD there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
