Included With Every Order
Professional Remastering
Every Minidisc conversion begins with a thorough disc inspection for damage & decay, before it's played back on our professional Minidisc deck. The audio signal is digitized using a professional grade audio card before our audio engineers do some post-processing on the results. We trim the tracks, amplify and even the levels before re-mastering it back onto redbook-audio CD's. We use top-rated CD media to ensure a high-caliber and highly-compatible product. Each CD gets marked with simple, easy-to-read identification, then stored in a paper sleeve.
A Bit of History
The Minidisc is an audio storage medium introduced by Sony in September 1992. The music format was originally based exclusively on ATRAC audio data compression, but the option of linear PCM recording was later introduced to attain audio quality comparable to that of a compact disc. While there are still some manufacturers of Minidisc recorders and blank discs even today, being able to easily share your conversations with friends and family is easier when you use our service. Even the creator of the medium has nearly abandoned the format with only one type of player still being offered for sale in 2007.

Archivists Welcome!
If you have a large digital conversion or archiving project for your university, corporation, government agency or just an intricate order that requires a person, contact us here at Under Design and we'll be glad to help you out! We can handle all sorts of custom orders, and offer bulk discounts that fit your budget. We love to provide local, personal service, so if you are in the center city Philadelphia, PA area, we're open weekdays from noon until 8pm for dropping off your digital conversion orders.
Notes About Transfers
We can't save the track markers, nor the text data stored in the Table of Contents (TOC) of MiniDiscs when we transfer them to Compact Disc. There is no simple way to transfer this proprietary data, and our transfer method ignores this digital information anyway. When mastering your new CD, if we note sections of silence between tracks, we'll include a track marker on the CD, but this may not match up to your previous edits on the MiniDisc with frame accuracy.
