Syrius Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Hi all. Just joined the forum and am glad to see so many MD users around. I fell in love with the format every since I saw the MZ-1 back in 1993 in Mexico, and finally was able to get my first unit, an MZR 37 a few years ago. Currently I have an MZ NE 410 and like the sound and features, not to forget it's tinier than my beloved Sharp SR60, which has begun to die on me. I like it, except for a few things... I absolutely HATE and ABHOR that I can't record on regular, plain vanilla regular MD format (I believe it's SP), but LP2. I like the idea of having the extra space, but if I want terrible sound, I'll pull out my tape player any day, thank you very much. Soooo... my two questions are: Can you grab a HI-MD unit, a regular plain old-fashioned 74 min. MD, and record in regular MD format so it can be played in the old type of players? Or are the new HI-MD units SP-impaired? I don't care if it has to be through the optical line or analog. I want my SP, please. And what is this Sonicstage II "IcedTee's" build? Can it make recordings via USB with true SP mode? (Not the LP mode disguised as SP) I doubt it can, but hey, dreaming is free. :laugh: Thanks all, and keep on jamming. Sy.

The_Stamp Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Welcome! 1: YES! you can record in the classic MD format! on old std-MD discs! (or record in Hi-md mode. you can't have both on there at the same time tho) 2: iceedtea's build of SS2 is simply a variation of SS2 that lets you burn CD's of your music (including uploaded material, i believe). otherwise, you'd need a VAIO computer to burn CD's.
