[HANASHIR:13229] RE: L'Cha Dodi

[Meris Ruzow <meris...>]

Ok folks.  Have a question:  I love the "Thank God it's Shabbat" CD.
I'm teaching the "L'Cha Dodi" to my congregation and choir.   Can
someone tell me why, perhaps in that version (just says, "Chassidic)
they use the verse "Mikdash melech ir m'luchah" and yet in Gates of
Prayer there are only 4 verses (Sh'mor v'zachor, Likrat Shabbat,
Hitor'ri, & Boi V'shalom); yet  in Gates of Shabbat (gender sensitive)
the same 4 verses appear, and now in the new reform "Mishkan T'Fillah"
there are NINE verses, including "Mikdash melech."
 
What do I teach my congregation?   Does the Rabbi make this decision?
Obviously, to do 9 verses is a bit much. does it have to do with
Conservative vs. Reform?   Editor's choice?  Thanks for any light you
can shed!
Happy New Year and here's to a happy & healthy 2003.

Lynda,
 
    Use www.google.com to search for Extigy before buying.  Read the
reviews.  The reviews of this device are all over the place from one
star to five stars.  Depends upon what your level of expectation is.
Caution not to believe any marketing hype from Creative Labs; read specs
very carefully.  Looks like it might do the job for you.  Tempts me to
buy one too!

Lynda:
 
I have been to do this successfully using an external piece of hardware
from Creative Labs called the SoundBlaster Extigy. It is, in effect, an
external version of Creative's Soundblaster Audigy Pro.
 
The Extigy connects to your computer through a USB port. Great thing
about it that when it's not connected your system uses its regular sound
hardware.  Software that comes with the Extigy makes it seamless to
simply copy from the Minidisk to a CD or the Hard Drive or another piece
of audio equipment (or vice versa.)
 
I happen to use the Extigy with a laptop, but it will work easily with
any system.
 
The Extigy also has digital I/O, midi, and a full range of other audio
connections. It's about the most useful piece of sound hardware I've
ever come across.

Subject: [HANASHIR:13226] converting MD to CD
I am still not able to find convert the digital MD Sony player thru to
the computer and burn a CD. HELP! 
Someone suggested Cakewalk but that did not happen. When I run my MD
player thru the computer
With CD burning software it can not find the portable player. I run it
thru the USP port but it can't find it.
Has anyone successfully transferred the mini disc format to a regular CD
with good quality? I have tried to 
Use the microphone jack and save it that way but without converting the
files it sound terrible.
I have tried to call and email Sony but they are terribly slow and
getting back to me.
Thank you all for your help in advance!!
