u should be able to...but they'll be phased out eventually as Hi-MD's take over...

the 510 is a decent enough unit for the price...otherwise wait till the new Hi-MD units come out... :happy:

LP4 sounds pretty crappy IMO...if u can avoid using it u should...

heyy there, and welcome to the forums... :happy: i would suggest that u take a look at the Sharp range of recorders (esp the lower end) since this seems to meet ur budget and needs in a unit...

the extigy would be a much nicer card than the one in ur laptop atm...but as for skipping i wouldn't have a clue unless ur CPU and RAM are being taxed big time and can't keep up with shovelling the audio data to ur hdd fast enough...

nope...those are the 2 main ones...unless u want to use SimpleBurner...but that needs Nero as well if u want to transfer files across...but nero is just a simple d/l and install anyways...

that will be a thing of the past when the new Hi-MD units come out... :happy:

i think u gotta take it back to Sony to get it fixed up...not so sure of how to fix it up urself...

seems to me that ur recording head maybe busted...take it back to get it looked at if u can...

yeh it does...SS is shipped with that unit...so long as u'v converted (or transfered) the files over in ATRAC3 format it should be fine..and making sure that u have an MG MS in there instead of a normal one...

i'm not aware of any software that will be able to transfer both audio and title over via PC link...i thought that the PC link only transfers the audio over and not the titles (as to transfer the titles over from an older gen MD u needed sumthing like a CD-TEXT cable that connects to the REMOTE port of the MD unit)...

well official release date set by Sony Australia is going to be July 2004 (taken from the newest edition of their Pulse magazine) and the blanks will retail for A$10...i hav nfi y NZ is being charged US$9/blank but i think that's absurd...

very true...so i wonder when Sony will have them in Australia...they say July but i'm thinking mid-July before they get shipped out...(kinda like what happened with my DV cam i pre-ordered from them...)

probably end of year we'd see more brands releasing blanks...maybe???

but still it'll be worth it in the end...Hi-MD's seem like a really cool upgrade to MD's...

the MD Data drives and blanks costed tonnes though...and plus were never really a big hit so there were hardly in any shops or online stores...

cool...i wanna c wot this Gold model looks like b4 i import (when we get IRL pics i.e.)... :happy:

that kinda reminds me of the N1 where u couldn't connect the unit w/o the docking station...but since the NH1 also charges from the docking station it means that u gotta lug the whole thing around...that could be a good and a bad thing imo...

yeh well that's Sony 4 ya...

yup agreed...SS2 is a lot better than the previous releases...more stable and nice refined interface... features that it has over teh previous ones also are a nice touch...wonder what SS2.1 adds on top of this one... :happy:

cool...thx 4 that... :happy:

yup that's tru...but i think u need to reserve a seat or sumthing for the launch on the 26th since the invitation i got was telling me it was being held @ SonyStyle...

yeh that's tru...kinda st00pid how new things from Sony keep failing... :whatever:

yeh probably...depending on how much the unit and blanks cost will probably determine how successful (or unsuccessful) the unit is....

hehe...or that could work... :happy:
