Hey! What do I get then?

Oooh! Is that one of those special machine guns that turn all stealthy when their colour matches
up with the background...? I've always wanted one of those!

Going back to work now...

Well it appears that my South Park P does not quite resemble myself! Considering the fact that I do not wear orange pants. Well in light of the ghetto-ness of Erminskin, behold! Erminskin P!

heh, not too concerned with the power if that's all I touched, hopefully didn't touch anything
with error correction and stuff.

Yeah, I figured you knew all that crap already...

I dunno, I know OpenMG's a piece of crap, but I've never had any problems with it so I've never
thought of looking for another program, and if there is any program out there... person's gotta
know a crap load about MDs....

hey leo, thanks for that info but I guess I wasn't quite clear, 'cause I pretty well know all about that stuff, what I meant was another program other than openMG. OpenMG is a piece of garbage, and I'm sure someone out there has made a better program, and I'm sure I can find it if I look hard enough, I'm just hopeing maybe someone knows about it so I don't have to search as hard.

yeah and if you hacked you md, I doubt the power settings will make a huge difference, but if they do there should be a way to reset your md. I know there is for mine, I tried it, and in the process discovered what all the recording errors are. or at least what my md calls them, which of course I don't know how to fix... yet.

Where did all the stars come from? Am I actually in space or is this all just an illusion... at any rate I'm going to cruise around in my Gundam... eat hot plasma suckers!

Hey Pete, and thanx for pointing that site out... had some fun adding stuff :)


Just hopefully I didn't screw anything over... took me a while to figure out what I was doing...
might have messed with with power usage settings.....

Hey Pete, I know a decent amout about the NetMDs so here it goes...

Anyhow, the easiest way for you to get the songs onto your MD is to:

1. Use the OpenMG program that came with the MD (NetMD)
2. Analogue recording from the computer (using, for example, Winamp /w MD plugin)
3. Burn the discs with your brother's player and use them on your MD

Since I know #1 doesn't apply to you, and you're probably doing #2, #3 would be the best one.
However... I don't clearly know the issues in terms of back compatability since each MD version
uses a different version of ATRAC3 encryption. Mine's Type-R, Scott's is Type-S. There's also the
issue where if you put the song on the MD using a program, such as OpenMG, the song is write
protected on the disc, so you can't delete it unless you're using a computer with OpenMG. (There's
some other issues with deletion, song copies, and other stuff but they're relatively easy to work
around). On the sites you linked two, those firmware hacks would work with the supposedly
encryption issue, but each of those models have a USB connection. Unless you get another MD, you're
gonna have to do #2, or #3 (if it works at all) but there's no harm in trying... just that you'll
need his player to make any deletions do the disc (you should be able to edit the playlist and song
titles still, I think...)

So yeah, there a bit for you...


Oh, and BTW, Paras nice background, but it would be nice to be able to read what everyone's said...

ok first off, scott (or anyone else): You said that you found a good program to transfer songs from mp3s on the computer to your minidisc, could you post a link as to where I can get the program. My bro has a net MD and I think I will be buying one in the near future, so it owuld be nice to have good software instead of that shitty sony stuff.

Also, the reason that I want to get a new MD is that my current one is a piece of shit that barely works anymore, but in my travels I came across this site, which has lots of sweet information on various minidiscs and accessories. In addition to all the typical stuff, I discovered this, and other pages like that one dedicated to providing hacks and service manuals for your MD. So if you own an md, you'd best check this out, you could repair your md instead of those fuckers at sony (who might I add can fix a cat, let alone an md) or just find some useful hacks to improve your md.

as is not going to mention the bizarre new look

So I was having a conversation with Beck that involved the verb "MacGyver'd". Naturally I looked it up at Urban Dictionary. Curious, I decided to look up "Paras" (me and my massive ego.) I was shocked to find Paras defined as "Forrest dumbshit." Of course, I told Beck, and he enjoyed it, so I turned the tables and looked up "Beck." Two interesting definitions were there:


---

Beck
"b-ec-k"

geordie word for a scruffy, dirty or unkempt person, a minger


---

Beck
"b-ec-k"

A useless, hopeless, smelly Canadian.


---



Finally, because this is how my mind works, I looked up the final link in the Indian-Hobo-Nun Triumvirate:


---

Jere
"b,itch"

see bitches

Needless to say, my faith in the internet is restored.
