Guest Anonymous Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Is there any way to drag and drop mp3 files onto my MD player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 not to my knowledge...you need to convert it to ATRAC3 as MD's use ATRAC/ATRAC3 encoding and not mp3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerkY Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 First you have to IMPORT them into SonicStage or OpenMG as ATRAC3 encoded files as Majestic said... then you can copy them to your minidisc in LP2 or LP4 mode. But your are limited to only 3 check-outs... So 3 recordings per song. Crappy eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 not if you're using SimpleBurner...i don't think they have a check-in/check-out counter...but then again i could be wrong.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerkY Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 You cannot copy MP3s with simple burner but only audio cds... You would have to burn MP3s as an audio cd first and then record. Or just use Dino's methoed which I reckon is pretty cool but still a hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 it beats having copyright protection...and ppl can just use m3u2usb to make things simpler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerkY Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Yes true but I have to load up Daemon Tools for that. Mount the image file to the virtual drive... then record it. I will have to use that program title the tracks. I am using three programs just to make an md. Beats the purpose of making quick on the fly copies. I have a lot of audio cds anyway so I just pop em in the drive and copy them using simple burner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Yeh I read about Dino's method and it works well. But yes, still is a hassle. I hate using programs like SonicSage , Real player etc, just because they tend to take over your mp3 player, and I noticed SonicSage used almost 90MB of memory when playing an MP3... (??) yeh I am going to use Dino's method for now... Uhm a question any of you guys tried the linux programs? how well do they worked as I Know they are coded by the public and not by sony, how probable is it to code a program that would just do simple MP3-->ATRAC3-->MD transfer?

mAjEsTiC Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 nope unfortunately i haven't used the programs on Linux...i would probably say they would be far more stable and encounter less problems than Sony? (since this seems to be the case with Linux as opposed to Windows)...but provided that you have the method to do the conversion making the program isn't that hard...it's just the Mp3->ATRAC->MD transfer algorithm they have to get right...
