NEOband Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Forgive my ignorance on this but i'm alittle confused as a newbie. I found a disk that has 150 mins of music on it, about 30 tracks. The music plays fine and I can skip through all tracks. The player is a Sony MZ-R70 which is a SP player only. Its not LP2 or LP4. I thought a unit had to be LP2 or LP4 compatible to play a disk that was created on a LP2 or LP4 unit. Google says the unit will play whatever the disc contains but somethings not right. However I do have some discs that will not work on this unit as they where infact made with LP2 audio. So how on earth does this disc have 150 mins of audio on it and work in the MZ-R70??? When i select to show All remaining recording time availble it says 74 mins. How can this be as it has 150 mins of audio on it. Its cool, but weird 🙂 Can someone clear up my confusion please. Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Hello. Is it possible the recordings are in mono? Mono SP would give you 160 minutes on an 80 minute MiniDisc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Wills Posted Friday at 06:26 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:26 AM You're likely listening to a LP (Long Play) recorded disc, not SP. The MZ-R70 doesn’t record in LP, but it can play LP2/LP4 discs recorded on other MDLP-compatible devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All non MDLP players I've tried just seem to play silence with MDLP tracks. More likely to be mono as in previous responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the best of my knowledge this claim is nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted Saturday at 07:33 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 07:33 PM The MZ-R70 was released in 1999 and MDLP (ATRAC3) wasn't introduced until the following year. The OP already stated that they had some MDLP discs that don't play back on the MZ-R70. So, yeah, I think that's incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
