Ternaugh Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Animals (2018 Surround Sound Remix) by Pink Floyd, from the recently-released Blu-ray Audio disc. Amazon had the Blu-ray for $19.99, or about $11 cheaper than a vinyl version of just the stereo remix (that was probably sourced from the same digital masters). The Blu-ray has the surround mix, a 2018 stereo remix, and the original 1977 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ternaugh Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 I fell into a bit of a YouTube rabbit hole this morning with old films about the manufacture of 78 RPM records (from 1946), LP records (from 1956), and finally RCA Living Stereo (from 1958). Through some twists and turns through related websites about Living Stereo, I found a reference to this: Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lovely song, but it doesn't evoke the same memories like the one I posted. My parents were big fans of Charles Aznavour, so they bought a record of his greatest hits. She was the first song in the LP, although From Today was my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last boss keeps a copy of this album in one of his offices. It's tucked in the corner of a window that overlooks the server racks.

More success as a duo than in solo careers helped keep things going, I think. Looking at the "Years Active" sidebar on Wikipedia helps illustrate that: 1956–1958, 1963–1970, 1972, 1975–1977, 1981–1984, 1990, 1993, 2003–2005, and 2007–2010 A great deal of amazing work has come out of stormy partnerships.

Ternaugh Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Gaucho by Steely Dan. Experimenting again with MD and Web MiniDisc Pro. This version of the web app has a method for selecting a different encoder for the LP2 and LP4 modes, which should improve the sound quality in those modes. There's also a way to tag consecutive tracks as part of a group, which is handy for albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, so good. I've just learned there are more options for working with NetMD devices, including Web MiniDisc Pro, which has a number of new features.

Techmoan's video hit my queue this morning, which is where I got the information about the alternate codecs for LP2 and LP4 with Web MiniDisc Pro. That led me to the manual page for it, where I discovered how to add groups. It works great with my MZ-N505 recorders, but I can't get Web MiniDisc Pro to see any of my HiMD units. I'd love to get one of them working, to be able to try that upload feature (my MZ-M100 should be able to upload like Techmoan's RH1, if I could get it to be seen by the software).

Drat, and I don't own a Hi-MD device to test that out. Web MiniDisc Pro should be able to see Hi-MD devices if those devices are in standard mode. Sony's "newest" Windows driver for the MZ-M100 was released in 2007, and was aimed at Windows Vista. Someone built a 64-bit driver for Hi-MD devices, but from what I've read it seems to be hit-or-miss, and the MZ-M100 isn't listed as a 'supported' device. Though there are people in the comments who have mentioned the driver working with devices that aren't in the list.
