So I finally got around to transferring some old recordings that I made with my MD recorder (MZS-R5ST). I went optical out of the MD deck and into the my IHP120. Since these are non-HiMD files I had to transfer them in real time, so the 15-20 discs took quite a while. When I checked them out, I discovered that all but two of the files play back at a fast speed. I figure that I can try and tinker with them in Sony Vegas or Audacity (both have a play-rate adjustment feature), but I'm wondering why this even happened. I've transferred a few other MDs in the past using the same optical method and, up to now, haven't had a single problem.
Anyone else ever have this come up? All the recordings were made at the highest quality setting on the MD. I attempted playback in Winamp, Vegas and Audacity and the affected files played fast on each of the players.
Thanks a lot.
