Wicked. Thanks for your help.

I was wondering, I have tested the MD we have with the mic and it sounds great, but I'm not too sure how long the piece we are recording will last. Would it be safer to stick the charger in and use mains electricity rather than rely on the lithium battery ? Thanks for any advice.

Thanks again for the help folks, we've just bought the RH1 and MS907 through Amazon UK Marketplace.

Sweet. Thanks so much for the efforts you made. We were hoping to get one from Amazon Markerplace, but the folks here are a bit wary of doing that, in case there's nothing to fall back on. We have no old MDs at all, apart from my music collection , so I think the MZ-NH700 would be the most suitable. I've used SonicStage in the past to import tracks so no worries there, just need everyone to agree on one solution. Basically we're hoping to get: Sony MZ-NH700 and Sony MS907 Microphone Out of interest, would the above Sony MS907 Microphone work with the RH1? I'm pushing my luck on this, but I'm sure one of you very helpful people can assist. Thanks again.

Sorry for the delay. So with the RH1, you don't need a microphone, you can just connect it to the computer through SonicStage and get the track? I'm thinking either that, or the MZ-NH700 with MS907 microphone. Thanks for the help so far.

Guitarfxr, I think it's fantastic you know so much and are sharing it, but at this stage, I really just need quick pointers on what I should do. I reckon it'll be quick-and-dirty. I mean we obviously would like it to be high quality, but as far as I know it won't be 'professional'. It's really just to get good audio quality and easy to import into the computer software. The dynamic php script itself has been ready for yonks, we just need the file really and we're sorted.

Loud and clear Yeesh, looks a lot of work there for what I'm after. I've done this in the past with no problems just using an analog out lead to my PC, and the sound seemed fine. Now I'm even more confused. So getting the MZ-NH700 and FV-220 is not the best solution? The initial plan was to bypass mini-disc and just get a logitech usb desktop mic straight into Audacity, but we now need it for outdoors and indoors too. Can anyone suggest the best microphone then to get if I were to get a MZ-NH700 and wanted to import the audio to my pc? Thanks again.

Fantastic, thanks for all your help. Both the Sony MZ-NH700 and MZ-RH1 look like excellent options to go with the Sony FV-220 Uni-Directional Hand Held Microphone. I will look into it and get back to you all once we've got something. Thanks again!

Cool. Thanks a lot guys. I mind I bought a new MD from Curry's about three years ago and had no luck installing SonicStage 2.0, sure it was just me though. Will try this - thanks again.

Cool. Thanks for those comments, they were invaluable. The Sony MZ-NH700 looks like a good road to go down. So I could record it, then import it as an MP3. Then I would cut it up in Audacity ? Thanks.

Hello, I've been an avid fan of MDs since my Dad got me one in the 90s before they were cool The company I work with intend to use a portable Sony Mini-Disc recorder to record from a microphone. I was just looking for advice on what would be the best for this. The podcasts themselves would be both indoors and outdoors, mostly indoors, and will be either 1-to-1 interviews or a monologue to microphone. I then intend to take the recording and import it to Audacity on my PC.
