desmondskiggers Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I'm going to buy an MD player. I want to be able to record from sources...fourtrack, stereo.....and be able to also convert MDs to mp3 or such on my computer. If an MD player has a line in and line out, I can do all this, yes? Thank you for your help and for the quality info on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerkY Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Yes you can record from multiple sources with an MD such as line in, mic in and USB (with a NetMD). However, you wont be able to convert your ATRAC music files (MD can only play ATRAC coded music files) to MP3 that easily. There is no "official" upload feature in MDs. You will have to connect the MD from the line out to your soundcards line in and then record in real time and in analog. If your soundcard has a digital in you can record songs digitally. Then after recording them as WAV files you can then convert them to MP3s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would preclude me from getting a portable.... I think I can live w/ that. Any reccomendations on a Sony model given that this is what I mostly want to do w/ it? Thanks again.

mAjEsTiC Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 if you want all the bells and whistles of a flagship model take a look at the N910 model...very nice model that one...=) BerkY owns one and will back me up on this one hehe...^^ you could alternatively look at the Sharp DR580 as well...that is also one fine model...but the bottom line is both of them are sufficient enough for wot u need 2 do...

BerkY Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Yes Majestic is right, the N910 is a great model. Has all the feaures of the N10 plus a better battery life (which is very important for me). As Majesitc said Sharp also have great models but I reckon Sony's service and support is better than Sharp's. Thats why i went for the Sony. Bottomline: N910 - highly recommended...
