  1. Hi Michael. Not sure if this is much help but there's one on eBay.co.uk at the moment. Having said that, it's £65 and I'm not sure if they'd ship to the USA? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285058707492
  2. Nice clean, simple design. I like those. Don't recall blank MiniDiscs without cases being a thing in the UK. Long time ago though so I might be completely wrong.
  3. We’re a terrible influence on each other 🤣
  4. Ooh. Looks exciting. Planning on sharing some pictures of the contents?
  5. And they arrived from Japan this morning. Time to get recording 🙂
  6. Thanks for the information, @Richard. I'm not really au fait with Japanese pop music tbh (pretty much limited to Cibo Matto, Shonen Knife and Pizzicato Five as far as my record collection goes) but look forward to seeing your post when you get a chance to finish it 🙂
  7. Just noticed @Richard already mentioned these in his recent thread about some Maxell artist blanks 🤦‍♂️
  8. Haha. Yes, it's very easy to get dragged down a (very expensive) rabbit hole with this stuff 🤣
  9. Feel a bit bad for requesting something I've ended up not making much use of 😳 Well, although I've never really used it, I am sure lots of people are very grateful for your efforts 😀 No need to apologise! I thought it might be more of a Windows/driver issue than a Web MiniDisc one. Like I said, it's really not a big deal.
  10. I can't say I have ever encountered any bugs, not that I can recall anyway. Both of the things I originally flagged as being nice to have (ALAC support and compatibility with Sony NetMD decks) have both been implemented, although I've stuck to using portable devices tbh. One thing that is a (very minor) inconvenience is having to re-install the drivers if I connect a different model of NetMD Walkman (e.g. if I change from using an MZ-N910 to an MZ-N920). Note sure if there is anything that could be done about this but it is only a minor issue and I generally just stick to using the same device. Techmoan has a lot to answer for 🤣 I think he's been the cause of many people getting engulfed in the format... I'm afraid I can't help you with your MZ-R3 problem but it might be worth starting a thread asking for assistance. There are others on here who are much more clued up on the technical side of things than I am. Good luck!
  11. Ah, looks like they were promoting a singer called Hikaru Utada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikaru_Utada Not entirely sure what the "Red Hot" bit relates to but it's referenced in an advert she did for Sony batteries:
  12. The MDW80Ts seem to drift in and out of stock at Amazon.co.jp, at least as far as sellers prepared to ship to the UK are concerned. Noticed they were back in stock today so placed an order. Worked out at £2.93 per disc including delivery. Must. Stop. Buying. More. Blanks. 🤦‍♂️ These also popped up whilst I was looking around the site: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Recording-80-Minutes-Piece-3mdw80rh-Original/dp/B016QJJVOO/ Reminded me of some of the artist MDs that @Richard posted recently. Not sure if "Red Hot" were a Japanese band or whether the photo card is for something completely different.
  13. Hello @asivery. Welcome to the forum! Just wanted to say a huge thanks to you and @cybercase (Stefano) for the amazing work you've done with Web MiniDisc and Web MiniDisc Pro. It's been a real game changer for me and it's great to see you've continued to develop it, enabling transfer of recordings from MDs to a PC without needing an MZ-RH1 and the improved ATRAC3 encoder. When I started getting back into MiniDisc around 2015, I never thought I'd see people bringing the format back to life in the way that things like Web MiniDisc have. Fantastic 👍
  14. Hi Jeff. Not sure if you've already checked but there is some software downloadable from this site: https://forums.sonyinsider.com/files/category/1-programs/ https://forums.sonyinsider.com/files/category/5-drivers/ Not sure if any of it is what you're after but might be worth a quick look if you haven't already?
  15. Do you know whether these would have been sold at concerts, like t-shirts and other merchandise, or in record shops etc as a way of promoting the tour? Was it fairly common for Japanese artists to get their own branded MDs?
  16. My daughter would love that 😀. Although I think she'd be somewhat baffled by the discs you have to put in it to get any sound 🤣 "Why won't this Alexa do what I tell it?" Impressed they went as far as moulding the Hello Kitty lid, rather than just using a graphic.
  17. Hi @stoke pade. Yes, you will need to install drivers on a Windows PC. There is a guide here: https://www.minidisc.wiki/guides/webminidisc
  18. Given all the development that Stefano and Asivery have achieved so far, I'd imagine it must be a possibility.
  19. Good to see you've found your way back @zzzuppp 🙂 Is that on an iPhone?
  20. This only seems to be a temporary fix, unfortunately. I've had to repeat the process a couple of times after the "Safari cannot open the page. The error was: "FetchEvent.respondWith received an error: TypeError: Load Failed"." error message returned. Anyone had any joy with a permanent fix for iPhone/Safari?
  21. No need to apologise, @Richard. It's quite probably common knowledge but in the past I've always ended up clearing all my cache when trying to fix things like this, which then means I have to log back into a myriad of different websites.
  22. That's worked for me too, thanks @Richard. In case anyone is like me and didn't know how to clear the data for an individual site in Chrome, I found some instructions here: https://www.howtogeek.com/664912/how-to-clear-storage-and-site-data-for-a-single-site-on-google-chrome/
  23. I've got it working on Safari on my iPhone now: I went to: Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data and then deleted the website data for sonyinsider.com
