Chickenvenus Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hi all, I'm currently converting a 16 CD (20hours, 3 minutes) audio book onto a single HiMD. A little bit of effort, but should be worthwhile for my commutes to/from work. What's your current project? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azureal Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 That's awesome! What ATRAC3 or ATRAC3plus? Vocal audio books are perfect for transfer to MD at low bit rate. Another poster recently mentioned he was recording his podcasts onto MD. I guess maybe he should call them MDcasts now. I need a fun new MD project ...

Chickenvenus Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I used ATRAC 3, 105kbps, this left 11.3MB on the disc. The audio book came with bookmarks/tracks at 3 or so minute intervals, imported as is, so will be no issues navigating through the book. Pretty happy with the outcome. I'm thinking HiMD is very suitable for this. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
