toolowtwo Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 I bought two MD's on eBay a couple of weeks ago, generally useable though some repair depot time needed. I usually load new CDs directly onto the hard drive I run the stereo off and am in the process of converting all of our old vinyl, the real reason I bought the MD. I went to play an album yesterday and the MP3 file would not play - kept getting an "Unknown Mpeg type" error. However, I had the same album on a memory card in my Palm Tungsten T, plugged that into the MD, recorded to MD and then through Spin Doctor uploaded back to the computer to replace the buggy file. A couple of things about the process, first coming off the Palm to the Md then to the computer I did not expect the sound quality to be great, I was wrong it is very good. Second, this was very surprising; when I recorded the LP originally I recorded it as one file rather than breaking it into tracks. After recording from the Palm to the MD, I had 11 individual tracks which then transferred across to the computer. This was a nice surprise and a positive on what MD can do for me.

Expander2000 Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Hi toolowtwo, The reason you had 11 tracks on the MD is probably because there were silent parts in between songs, in which case the MD would automaticaly insert a "Track Mark". In this case I'm guessing your Vinyl was in mint condition, i.e: very little snap/crackle/pop. Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
