I have found a seller who has allowed me weekend use of the unit to test it out. The charger line has been patched three times and no longer works. I found this online and wonder if the PSP or Nokia pin will function. I can plug this into the RH1 charger. Charging the battery now in my RH1.

There's a new comment from Sony. If you haven't yet, head over and add your voice. https://www.facebook.com/Sony/posts/10152382574681997?comment_id=10152382607151997&offset=0&total_comments=1&notif_t=feed_comment

I've got a lead on such a unit. Haven't seen it or tested it yet, but assuming it's still functional and not horribly banged up, might anyone be interested? Be happy to trade for some 1GB discs.

Good to know. Hopefully we'll survive another upgrade.

Any truth to this? I don't see myself making much effort to make SS operable by setting up a separate OS.

I think one of the admins here was an MD user and might be sympathetic and helpful in contacting the right person. Worth a shot? Who would be willing to lend their voice, time and effort?

Thanks, Richard. That did it. Those files were indeed hidden.

Where are the omg files stored? They must be hidden. I'd like to delete them to clear up space on my HD. I suppose I can delete straight from SS, but as I recall this will also delete the MP3 files on which the omg files have been converted. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum, Losio. I second Fred's compliment on your language skills. How about some photos of the car and the mobile MD unit?

Hey, SF, good to see you found us here and thank you for the compliment. Running into your blog has made we want to do a bit of recording here in Dubai, but I've got so many other things going on its hard to find time. Looking forward to the film and hope you'll keep us posted,

Now?

Here's one I did at the train station in Varanasi, India.

Some more photos: MDs by brand; jvc front and back; mmore front and back

The photo shows that most every MD is stored in a case.

Good start. Sometimes archaeology is simply that - stating the obvious and establishing the facts. How about a time line? Can dates be established? The unit he sold me is a DHC-MD333. I don't know that he ever owned any other unit.

Last week I picked up a used Sony bookshelf system from someone leaving Dubai. He threw in a box of MDs, a photo of which I present here. After you've had a look at it, I wonder what you can tell us about this person's MD behavior or habits. This is the box exactly as I received it, like some treasure dug up from a buried palace. I'll post more photos of selected discs should this exercise prove of any interest. In the meantime, what can you tell about this MD user from the evidence in the photo? In truth, I know little about him but his name, email, phone, that he's English and leaving soon for a new post in Singapore.

Really. What are they going for these days?

Found this new blog and thought perhaps some here might be interested. I did a bit of field recording several years ago. Maybe I should start again. Anyone here spending time outdoors with a microphone? http://theretrorecordist.wordpress.com/

It does indeed.
