If you cannot join him with a Sony Insider PM, I have his personnal email. Tell that is me who advise you to contact him.

Now that I though, maybe having or not the 2 seconds tracks, they appear depending on the unit I use, not with all of them.

If you want I can give you WizardofOz's direct contact

WizardofOz (who has left us) got one that he bought in France. This is an expensive unit. You can buy a high-end vintage amplificator or loudspeakers for the same price ! Or a JA333ES deck : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Sony-MDS-JA333ES-MiniDisc-Recorder-/281118572242?pt=DE_TV_Video_Audio_MD_Player_Recorder&hash=item4173f8fed2

Will be soon on MDs !

I got myself those 2 seconds tracks after recording, but never mind

The only problem you will have - will be to delete all these 2 seconds tracks after - will be also to tag yourself all your tracks so use SS with a Net-Md portable unit and copy from the menu the album and the tracks names

I have a Creative Platinum Xi-Fi sound card right now on my PC. This "minidisc" plugin is exactly here to do the same work than the foobar2000 "post-track silence" and Winamp "wincue" plugins, just adding silence between tracks during real time recording. I prefer the foobar2000 facilities and preferences, that is why I never use the Creative tracks player. But I was very pround just to know that Creative did that thing for MD owners.

A list to keep as a reference ! I would add all the MD boomboxes !

Like said stephen, a good choice would be a MDLP type S with Net-MD unit, both a deck and a portable unit. Cheapest portable units are the the MZ-R*** and MZ-N*** series. Cheapest decks are from the MDS-JE*** and some the MDS-JB*** series. Or with not, a Hi-MD portable unit, MZ-NH*** and MZ-RH*** series. The browser of minidisc.org is your friend, as eBay (just search for minidisc + eBay world wide to have a good idea of the prices).

to insert gaps where there are not, you must use the plugin "post-track silence" with foobar2000 , "wincue" with Winamp

I dream about a Sony MZ-EH1 in the same color !

Windows can be configured not to cause indue sound effects. But others programs like ^£%*µ* Skype must be shut up too ! But as you do not use Windows for a real time recording, it is not anymore your problem. But you can still try the plugins for the listening of your Flac files with foobar. This is exactly what I do, using a Creative Platinium Xi-Fi sound card and 24bit-96kHz Flac tracks (digital Chesky & Linn records, Vinyl rips).

Look like a gass factory what you have done. Did you use the post-track silence plugin with foobar with your Windows emulator to add a 2 seconds gap between tracks ? And you could also get audiophile audio output plugins like Kernel Streaming and Asio4all with foobar.

Nice come back to the good sound

Hi Sergio, Jim has one pair of black RH1 lids as spare, so maybe he could arrange that. I will see all the work he done in July, like your MD blanks ! Both units will work as a charm I hope. The grey lids have scratches, as you can see again on this pictures. With the fur, the unit was looking great to me.

I also have a grey RH1, completely checked by Jim Hoggarth, as my NH900. I asked Jim to keep them, I will send him my black RH1 too soon.

SONY 74 MIN RECORDABLE MINI DISCS - LOT OF 40 - 4 COLORS NEW IN ORIGINAL RACKS http://www.ebay.fr/itm/SONY-74-MIN-RECORDABLE-MINI-DISCS-LOT-OF-40-4-COLORS-NEW-IN-ORIGINAL-RACKS-/281106908177?pt=US_MiniDiscs&hash=item4173470411

Colombia ?

Just make some new tests. Change the disk, change the order of machines... My pronostic (1) recording (dirty lens) (2) playback (dirty lens) (3) disc

I got one with some Hi-MD problems but look at the price 62,50€ + shipping 15€ !!! The device does not work perfectly !! He is still able to read and record standard MD but has some problems in the shuffle and recording in Hi-MD. It makes a noise and can no longerfind easily the location on disk. Aesthetically, the unit has only very slight traces of use. It comes with all original accessories: SONY RM-MC38EL - Backlit LCD remote control, earphones,optical cable, rechargeable batteryLIP-4WM, charger with European power plug (free UK power plug on request), USB cable, drawstring pouch and instructions in French.

You are not lucky in your country to be forced to pay $40 for an unit in such a bad aesthetic AND mechanic condition.

Classic MD blanks can be used for Hi-MD recording...

"Long time no see you" like they say in Vietnam, Syrius...

As you say, comments are nice too.
