Question about # of songs on a MD

Which model is it? It must be a misprint if it's a standard NetMD, although a Hi-MD could just about hold that sort of capacity.

A standard MD can record a maximum of 320 minutes in LP4 mode - that's 64 tracks of average length 5 minutes - maybe the manual means 60 rather than 600 tracks @ 5 minutes each. There are no other options available to give extra storage...

Anyway, to give a more comprehensive answer...

On a non-Hi-MD unit, SP allows for roughly 80 minutes of recording time. LP2 allows for roughly 160. LP4 allows for roughly 320.

At 5 minutes per song, this would be equivalent to 16, 32 and 64 songs respectively.

i thought Jadeclaw cleared this thing up already NET MDs (unit limit) can hold a maximum of 255 tracks and 320 mins per 80 min disc at LP4 or 296 mins @ LP4 on a 74 mins disc n 240 mins @ LP4 on a 60 minute disc.. some math

320/5 =64 songs

269/5= 59 songs

240/5= 48 songs (bearing mind track pauses etc.. )

blah blah..blah..

it's not possible for NET MD to hold 600 5minute songs on 1 disc atleast

:grin:

try 2 maybe where u heard that they meant 2 discs son..cuz i mean 64*64=128 songs *5mins= 640 -600= 40 mins to spear..

if this doesn't make it clear i don't know what else will...

yeah it's about time..

and u can fit more than 6 45 minute songs in lp4 mood cuz the total is 320 mins remember..

i don't understand what u mean by it won't let u you out with the last one..

but none the less even if the recording was based on capacity u'd should still get all on there cuz the md is rated at 177 MB and if each track is20 megs u could 8 45 mins tracks on there (20x8=160 mins less the 177 u'd still have 17 megs left)

Yes, that's exactly it.. The figures in the manual (LP4 = 600 x 5 minute tracks, LP2 = 300 x 5 minute tracks) are battery life figures when checking out tracks, not the number of tracks you can fit on a disk. Take a look in the NE410 manual on page 14. Seems clear enough to me. As these are battery only units I guess it'd be useful to know how many tracks you can check out at a time...
