Thanks KJ_Palmer, I shall keep a look out for one. Of course what would be good is if I could get hold of some batteries. Either the LIP-4WM batteries for my MZ NH1. Or the NH-14WM(A) for my MZ NH900. What does the MZ-NH700 use? I have dozens and dozens of minidiscs in fact it prolly runs into a hundred or so. It seems a shame to give up on minidiscs. Having said that perhaps I should move into modern technology. I fancy the new FiiO X3 II / X3K Second Generation. PS. I see you are in London, same as me, in the leafy suburbs of sarf west London.
