jadeclaw Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 All NetMD / HiMD-recorders from Sony come with it's own software called SonicStage, which allows faster download onto MD. Realtime recording from the Soundcard is possible as well, via Lineout or Digital out. Having a recorder with Line-In/Digital in has the advantage, that you can record from other sources as well, allowing to copy stuff without a computer. In that case, the Creative program helps you in assembling of your playlist. A toslink cable is an optical cable with a rectangular plug on one side and a 3.5mm- plastic plug on the other end. Most MD-recorders have one included, the rectangular one goes into the soundcard, the one, where the red light shines out. My personal choice for the biggest versatility, if you can wait a few weeks is the MZ-NHF800. It has a radio, can record from microphone and your regular stereo and can store more music on the disc. Plus, it can use the new 1GB discs for even more music in addition to the normal ones. And it doubles as a backup-drive for your computer as well.
