  1. Well analogue means you are recording in real time from your stereo, cd player, cassette player, PC etc...via line-out to line-in. thats analogue.

    Sonic Stage is the computer program you use to transfer your music from your PC to your Minidisc.

    wich one are you using? if its analogue you should check the minidisc's recording levels, or make sure you connected the right cables to the right ends :P

  2. Hello everyone.

    I was wondering, if I do all these changes to my unit, what consecuences will that bring? if it turns out I dont like them would I be able to take the unit back to its original state? I really like my MZN-707, I think its my best Minidisc, I wouldnt want to ruin it :|.

    thanks

  3. Thanks, Ive been waiting for an answer but the forum was bloqued.

    I dont have a deck, but I do have a discman. I suppose the best quality I can get is to connect line out to line in and record...the only problem is making track marks for those songs who dont end with a space of silence but continue the sound onto the next one...but thats nothing mayor to worry about.

    thanks!

  4. Hi. Well, Type-S is a playback enhancement for MDLP (LP2/4) recorded tracks. It improves (allegedly) the sound quality over the original MDLP units which use the ATRAC 3 codec for recording and playback. In Type-S units, the recording still uses ATRAC 3 for MDLP but have improved replay quality.

    Type R affects both recording and playback of Stereo (SP) mode tracks, and is an improvement, in fact the best available, over the earlier SP codecs.

    Hope that makes sense. What the R & S stand for is anybody's guess...

    Thanks! I have a unit with each (S & R) and I had no idea what it meant.

    It makes sence, I record my minidiscs on my MZN-707 (Type R) and play them on it or on my MZ-R70.

    How ever I find the playback soundquality A LOT better on the MZ-R70...the sound is more clear and the bass sounds deeper.

    Anyway, thank you for all the information!

    cheers

  5. Hey, I'm trying to decide between the Sony MDR-V6 and the MDR-7506. I know that you guys said that they are pretty much the same thing, but I read comments on that they sounded somewhat different? Which one should I get? The 7506 is $100 while the v6 is $75. Thanks.

    Ive never had the 7506s on my ears so I can't tell. but if you pick the V6 I promise you wont be dissapointed, they are great headphones at a good price I believe...100+ on headphones seems like too much for me.

  6. Hi, I have both units, I got them on amazon.com some time ago.

    I got the '91 'used like new' for $90 and the '70 in the same condition for $75.

    Both came with all the accesories PLUS some sony microphones and work perfectly even though they are 9 and 10 years old (I think).

    However the MZ-R91 is better simply because it comes with more options than the MZ-R70. Both sound great but the 90 is much more versatil.

    Hope this helps.

  7. Last month I decided to get a new unit. and the only choices for NEW I had were the MZ-N510 or the MZ-NF610. I chose the 610. It works fantastic and I use it almost 5 days a week. another remarcable thing is the battery life. since December Ive used the same battery, an energizer lithium, and the player still marks the battery FULL.

    This little machine is one of the best MDs Ive ever seen.

    This post is not about the 610, but the 510, wich is very similar and hace somethings mine lacks. I dont have it but I know people who have had it for over 5 years now and it works perfect. I really like this series, I think its one of best series of MDs. although I wish they all had the mic jack wich I could use a lot being a guitarrist myself.

    Long Live the Minidisc!

  8. No I dont think so. at least for me that would be just the MD trying to be the ipod, wich I dont like.

    Im very happy with how loyal the MD format has been, I bought it because I wanted MUSIC, not photos, or videos or TV or DVD or Microwave etc.

    I like the minidisc to stay the way it is. versatil, great soundquality and cheap price. thats all I ask.

    Sorry for being harsh but thats what I think.

    Also keep in mind Sony stoped making MDs...so this discussion is more about your hopes for the future than reality.

  9. Hello, this might not be the right place to post this, but I dont want to open a new topic just to share a video.

    This a recording I made last night with my Sony MZ-NF610 and a very bad microphone, wich is why the sound is no where near good but thats the best I could do.

    Anyway, this my guitar improvisation along with some of my vacation photographs at the zoo. I hope everyone likes it!

  10. LOL - I think a lot of people just think minidisc is a generic term that is thrown around for any sub-CD disc. Asking at Best Buy (salesperson roughly 20) resulted in puzzled looks, and me ultimately being shown those small dvds. Thank God I can easily find HI-MDs here.

    Believe it or not that same thing happens here in Colombia hahah, I usually find 80m discs at the equivalent to 2 dollars, but I always have to explain myself to the seller, correcting them, telling them its for music, not video cameras :P

  11. yeah - that was a great album - he is simplistically great !!

    too bad eminem wanted to beat him up - i would've put my money on Moby !!

    footnote#1 - but - not too much money !!

    I had no idea that ever happened!

    But yeah, his music is very special, very atmospheric.

    Right now Im listening to Sigur Rós' Agaetis Birjun album.

    takes me to the begining of life!
