Loque

Thing is though does it? I mean, Hugo Chavez saying the playstation - like any other console - has games that you kill people on, and him voicing his disgust at this fact would have no bearing what-so-ever on my decision to buy or not buy this console. But I agree, it would be interesting to see the revenues. I somehow doubt the PS3 is available in Venezuela mind.

Hi dogg. I'm think I know where you're going with this, I just need to get my pictures online and then I'll shoot you one of the harness. It's a bit of a mess though and might not help a lot to be honest, but I'll see what I can do for you.

The time has come for me to get rid of My Nakamichi Head Unit. It's a great unit and I've had it for quite some time, simply put I'm moving over to Atrac CDs though and I don't have a use for it anymore. I'd like to see it go to a good home so I'm giving Sony Insider members first dibs on it, if I haven't sold it soon though I am going to put it on ebay. For information on the unit: http://www.nakamichi.com/pfv/ICE/MDPlayer/MD45z.htm High resolution pictures will follow this post shortly, and the unit does come with the remote. I'm quite open to offers, but I'm not going to let this go for silly money. I know they go for about

I'm interested, but I can't work with your price at the moment unfortunately. Do you have any pictures or anything?

I am currently selling my Nakamich MD45Z. It's a gorgeous head unit. http://www.nakamichi.com/pfv/ICE/MDPlayer/MD45z.htm PM me if you're interested.

Interesting. Well, I will have a good think about it then. I've had a look on the bay and there are a few MD changers available, so I may well go down that route. Record MD in a car? Blimey.. How odd.. I agree, a car is hardly an excellent acoustic environment anyways.

Wow, thanks for the solutions guys. I definitely like the idea of an Atrac CD player, I'm looking into that with great interest. It seems I have a few options. An MD-LP Changer, which is a possibilty, I was rather hoping to have it the other way around though with an MD head unit and a CD, or Atrac CD changer in the glove box or something. An external Portable MD recorder with an Aux in is another idea, but not something that really appeals to me to be honest, part of teh reason I love MDs in the car is the fact that it's so easy just to pop one in the player and listen to it, no need to fumble around with leads, and no need to worry about any disks getting scratched or anything like that. I can keep them in the door card if necessary. I suppose the positive of this though is I could get HiMD in my car. I agree with you about taking the time to record a good disk, label a good disk, but quite honestly I forget to mark the tracks correctly. If I had a fool proof way of doing that, then I'd be a lot happier.

Hi all. I'm something of a veteran of minidiscs, but I have tried to move over to the newer technologies, just to keep up with the times if nothing else. In the hope that I can find a better quality product that will in effect supercede Minidiscs. I've tried pretty much everything. I've had iPods, which whilst the interface was lovely, the sound and build quality was lacking, I've tried importing fancy new MP3 players with superb sound quality from China, to little avail, most recently I've a Sansa Fuze, which again, doesn't match the sound quality or the build quality of any of my Minidisc Players. All of these units are now sat in a drawer, or in a bin or some such, and I am still using my MZ-N510. I used to have a Nakamichi MD-45Z in my car, which I changed out for a top-of-the line CD Head Unit thinking it would be the way forward, but the damn things skips everytime I go over a bump and the quality is not a patch on the Nakamichi's. Incase you hadn't figured I'm getting rather annoyed by the state of things post MD. My old MD gear is running out, Pioneer Deck has seen better days, N510 seems to be getting a touch tempremental. I can live with this as I've had these units for a damn long time and don't mind shelling out on them to replacement. I'm thinking an Onkyo Deck and an RH1. Chief of issues though is my car. I love the sound from my MD45z, but in this day and age I am not going to sit around and manually record to an MD-SP Disk. I'd like to be able to stick my music on a disk and play it in the car using the dreaded Sonicstage. Does anybody know of a headunit that will let me do this?

It's strange. It struck me also the other day when I saw some Sony Floppy Disks in my local specialist store, yet I couldn't get a hold of Minidiscs for love nor money. Thank God for the Internet else we'd be screwed!

Talk about selling at the wrong damn time. Give it a month or so and I'll be interested in a Denon/Onkyo, failing that I'll nab a sony. Do they have remotes?

So let me get this straight. You CAN use SP mode under winxp compatibility mode?

At the moment I have Random Shit #1,2,3. Nas, Dre & Jay [For Nas, Dr. Dre & Jay Z respectively], Chilled Cuts, and Hulkin Beats.

Hi all. I am still running off MD SP (as in, actual recording to disks) and I am after the top of the line relevant equipment in terms of sound quality. Does anyone know what a good Deck is and a good portable player is? Thanks

Just one of the many reasons I love MD, both the discs and the players are durable as old boots.
