When you get to this point choose to save the file to your desktop for example. This is fine. Double-click on the resulting icon, (if you don't have the full version of Winzip installed), press the button that says use evaluation version which should open up Winzip with all of the files listed inside. In Winzip choose Actions => Select All. Click on the extract button and enter a folder path for example "C:\SimpleBurnerTemp". Click the extract button. Close Winzip. Using Explorer navigate to C:\SimpleBurnerTemp. Double-click on the setup program and complete Simple Burner Install. When this has finshed you can delete both the C:\SimpleburnerTemp folder and the Winzip file you saved to your desktop.

But surely if you don't bother to read the specs of a product before buying, then that's your own fault.

Not quite sure what you refer to when you mention paying $29. Simply download the Simple Burner Stand-Alone installation from our own downloads section by following this link: http://forums.minidisc.org/downloads/details.php?file=2 No need to uninstall Sonic Stage.

Hi-MD discs can be used to store any type of data including doucments, photos etc.. However you will need a Hi-MD compatible unit to do this.

However my initial impression was that the reason I wasn't asked was that it was an actual mistake and they did say they would send me a black one. Needless to say I sent it back still waiting for the black one though... original order was placed end September...

Ok sounds good - glad to hear you upoladed everything ok.

The WAV convertor is no longer necessary with SS3.2 as you can import Mic recorded files directly as WAV files. Have a look in the help files in Sonic Stage at the topic entitled "Importing a Track Recorded on a Hi-MD Device" for a step by step guide.

If the individual tracks are already on the disc, put it in the player connect to your pc and open up Sonic Stage. In the Transfer window, create the 4 empty groups representing the categories (if they don't already exist), then drag and drop the tracks in the appropriate group. Then when playing back as Sebastian says, change the Main Play Mode to Group and the Sub Play Mode to Shuffle.

The DH10P has USB connections on the charging cradle and on the unit itself.

It doesn't have MP3 support.

The RM-MC40ELK is a universal remote for Hi-MD and HDD players, it's just that some of the artist views etc.. display differently between models.

We already answered that when you asked the same question here: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=12353&hl=

You should have no problems with the AC-E60A adaptor it works fine with most other MD players requiring 6V input (usually those with Li-ion batteries). What's more as you said in combination with a single plug convertor can be used in any country in the world. I can't speak as an NH1 owner but I assume that the connection between the Ac input and the cradle is the same as per other players..

I don't think it can as it was never released in Asia as far as I know.

Great pics, nice unit - one of the few Hi-MD units we were missing in the pictorials section. If I ever bought one of these I would go for the brown as well.

That was the MCMD-R1 which simply allows you to copy data from memory stick and flash cards direct to a Hi-MD disk without going through a computer. Works with: Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick Duo(*1), Memory Stick PRO Duo(*1), xD Picture Card, Compact Flash, Smart Media, SD Memory Card, mini SD Memory Card(*2) and Multi Media Card

Not sure how this could happen if you correctly assign the cover art to the album. I can assign Jpeg's Gif's or Bitmaps as cover art - either via drag n drop on the title bar or via the properties of the album.

I would normally make similar suggestions to maybe some in-ear canal phones, but I'm not sure if earphones with such a high level of isolation is a great idea when riding a motorcycle!

The Hi-MD media is universal and can be used to store any type of data including photos. Any Hi-MD player will show as an external USB drive when connected to your computer and so with the USB cable you can store any files to a Hi-MD as you would with say a pen-drive. What you may have seen is the MZ-DH10P - a Hi-MD player that incorporates a digital camera in the same unit. So as well as playing music, you can take snapshots. Be aware though that this is only a 1.3mp camera and so on a trip such as yours a dedicated digital camera seems like a better option with maybe a Hi-MD unit such as the MZ-RH710 or a 1st Gen RH900 for playback of music and field recordings. I advise against something like the RH10 / RH910 as they may be more susceptible to scratching & the like on such a trip.

If it's any consolation, Sony have said (for example during Stringer's recent keynote at CEATEC in Tokyo) that they are now going to design the software in parallel with the hardware from the beginning as opposed to trying to do it aftwerwards.

Nothing against the rant per se, but perhaps it would have been better to post this on our sister forum ATRACLife, being as your main woes concern your NW-HD3.

It will work for 90% of all functions with all Hi-MD unit's it's just that particular display view that doesn't.
