acp89 Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 i heard some guy at school sayin something about a new mdp that could infact be hooked up to a computer, and would appear as a new drive in my computer, he said u could transfer files to it....any truth? the guy's an idiot, so i passed it by, but then someone else said the same thing.

daxuwei Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Inface MD is a smaller MO Disc, but SONY limited its function, only could transfer ATRAC/ATRAC3 files by OpenMG or SonicStage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acp89 Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 i thought that was the case, just wanted to check.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 i thought that was the case, just wanted to check..that's cool...but if that guy did manage to somehow make a program to make this happen (tho i would highly doubt it since data MD's and audio MD's need different media and recording methods <- or so i'm told) then i would like to know how he did it...NetMD was not created to be a means of storage so that you can store computer files onto an MD (plus MD's only hold about 150Mb give or take...) so i dunno... :?

acp89 Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 i don't think he was talkin bout net md... i think he was talking about a specific USB device that would transfer data to an MD. But this also seems unlikely.... as for writing a program..the guy barely knows how to use word let alone write a program... but majestic, i think your right, it's not very likely...

JeffS Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 A long time ago there was some discussion regarding this same topic. Not to be confused with MD-Data which is made for computer access, but to actually transfer data to a normal MD. The theory was originally to use an audio encoding like a modem, and record. This was kind of like the old cassette tapes for storing programs (way back in the day). The problem with this was that audio that is beyond the normal range of hearing and depending on how it's grouped with other sounds will be altered by the compression algorithm. Then it was believed that if the normal block of data, could be transformed into an audio codec, that seperated each varying bit of data, by a predefined pitch value and octave. The theory was that this would survive the atrac encoding process, and be reproducable into an audio format that could then be decoded as data. As you may have guessed, this didn't come about. Or if it did, it was not widely distributed and used. It was probably a pet project for a handful of people, until it got moved to the back burner, or they gave up. if you want data on an MD, get one of the md-data drives. I've got one that I don't use, if you're that interested. external, scsi, slower than a floppy, $15/disc and only 120megs. I got it because I was a minidisc nut, and found a good deal. if you're looking for doing any kind of data storage, don't bother. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
