THANK YOU. That very small bit of information proved to be VERY elusive. Jason

Hi, I've dug around quite abit over the last week into all things SonicStage and minidisc. When I was younger I had a couple of the first MD recorder and am familiar with the technology though I haven't used it in some time. After a fair mount of digging I still can not find a answer to a simple question and I need some assistance. I came on to produce a documentary over a year ago. It's been shot at a music festival in San Francisco over many years and several of those years a couple of older model MD recorders were used to record backup ambient audio prints (with the analogue in). Now I have a PILE of around 350-400 hours of audio that I need to ingest. For film work, recording live music on even on a HI-MD recorder is less than optimal. Recording to an MD where is A/D conversion is done on a small box with moving parts is just not ideal. WHAT WILL BE WORSE is playing the compressed audio out doing a D/A conversion and another A/D conversion. What is worse I dont have time to manually load it all into pro tools. If I buy an HI-MD recorder will it allow me to ingest the live recordings that are on regular MD through the USB connection and SonicStage.....or ANYTHING ELSE. I understage later generation recorders MIGHT allow it like the MZ-RH1......what about the MZ-RH10 or the MZ-M200? Please HELP!!! Jason
