Guest Anonymous Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I run Mac OS X and Linux on a TiBook. I was all geared up to get a MD recorder but after doing my research, I'm not so sure anymore. It seems the only way to transfer audio data between MD and my TiBook is to use the analog line in/out connectors, which has the following significant disadvantages: 1x speed transfer, and having to manually split tracks. That is extremely crappy in this day and age. USB/NetMD won't help for lack of software. Also, it looks as though Hi-MD isn't going to make things any easier. What is it with all this DRM everywhere? Are the manufacturers TRYING to kill MD or something? :-( Should I just forget it, and get an iPod instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saaron Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 I use a Xitel DG2 which allows for digital transfers from USB to Optical In. The downside is that it's real-time recording, however I only use it for doing mixes and start recording overnight. I've got some other tips to impart if you're interested. As far as uploading, you can get the iMic, which would be an analogue output, as you're using your headphone out, but that would be true anyway if you're using a portable, and that also connects to USB. There are also higher end things that will do all kinds of I/O to USB, but these are your lowest-cost options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
