borishnakov Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 i got a netmd player yesterday and was really eager to get some songs onto the md. its the mz-n42od (the cheapest in price out there) and i realized that whenever i transferred a song there was only 80 min. on the disk. i couldn't find the option to transfer them as mp3's so i can fit more. in the help, it said you had to have a sony viao computer to be able to transfer mp3's and that the option is unavailable with other machines. how can you transfer as mp3's in sonic stage and/or simple burner? please help me!! my comp is an amd 1800, 256 ram, 32 vid, os xp home edition my other comp is an amd 2500, 512 ram, 256 vid, os xp home edition (does it matter which one i use) thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadeclaw Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 You can't transfer them as MP3. However, you can select LP2 or LP4 as the destination datarate, when importing your MP3 files into Sonicstage. LP2 gives 160 Minutes playingtime, LP4 gives 320 Minutes on a 80 minute disc. If you have more Ram and a faster CPU, it speeds up the conversion but not the capacity of the MiniDisc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borishnakov Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 thanx for that! i transferred the most i could and i got 38 songs, each song averages around 6 minutes. is that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borishnakov Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 oh ya, i forgot. from what i read, is it true you have to have a sony viao computer to transfer them as mp3's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadeclaw Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 38 * 6 minutes = 228 minutes, so if you used LP4 for all of them, you could add another 90 minutes. Oh, and having a VAIO-computer does not transfer the music as MP3, as MD-Players cannot playback MP3. It is always converted before transfer.
