> Why in the hell doesn't Xitel transfer the MP3 ID3 track titling?
Really want to know why? Because it uses the S/PDIF standard, which can
only, i repeat ONLY transfer SCMS in the subcode data, and also, S/PDIF
wasn't made for MiniDiscs, so it was not made to title MiniDiscs, which in
the case of the MZ-R900, is resistor networks, not signals sent down the
optics/cable. AES/EBU could possibly send the titles, but seen as though
this is uncommon in almost everything consumer orientated, it would be
useless to try and implement this.

With a keyboard connected to my deck, I find this a no-brainer, and just as
fast as titling MP3's (and a lot faster than titling them after they have
been encoded)

No, portables do it in the most time consuming way, but even that is a
no-brainer thanks to the mironics interface (www.mironics.com)

Did you really, well, isn't that what confirms everything, how easy YOU
found it.....
You blame md's mistakes on what one portable can do, yet I have yet to see a
valid point that applies to ALL minidisc hardware, thus turning your
argument not into MD inferior to MP3, but MZ-R900 to Computer, defeating the
whole purpose in the first place.
Sorry if someone has already said all this, but it needed to be said.
