stunt_show Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Hi there, I know there is a raging debate (sort of) about people always asking if it is possible to upload digitally from MD to PC. Please see: http://www.xitel.com/product_mdpio.htm Is this product (MD-Port I/O) the saviour? Has anyone had any experiences with it? From the product descrption, it is possible to transfer (in .WAV for example) from MD to PC. The cost is about $70USD which is great - considering the only other previous options to digitally upload usually involved buying a MD deck with Optical Out and having a good soundcard, etc. The only hesitancy I have about purchasing a MD Recorder is that it was (until now perhaps) not possible to digitally upload. Please, someone with MD experience, is this the next big thing? If so, I am making a purchase of MD Recorder and this product ASAP! Kind regards, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 looks like an interesting unit actually...but one thing that i don't get is how can it record digitally to the computer if the MD unit does not have an optic (toslink) out??? from reading up on the specs i figured out that this unit does NOT upload the music digitally...it can only go from PC -> MD digitally but from MD -> PC it is done through analogue connection thru the MD's Line Out/Headfone Out jack as mentioned here...sorry to burst the bubble but from what i am seeing this is not the next big thing...

P.S., someone at Xitel needs to learn the difference between "its" and "it's." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
