  1. Give the Senn MX4/500 a try (sub $20US, I think). I kinda found the MX400's to be blah, but many people really enjoy them. Some say they rival Sony e888's ($66US) You can also give the Aiwa VX100's (in-canal, $25US) a try, which are real loud, and ive read their real "rock" phones . Or you can go the Sony way and try out the EX-70's (in-canal, $42US) which are made very tight on bass. Also, just give a try to those "other" brands ... Im real happy with some $20CDN Pana buds I use. I guess it all depends on your ears. ~G'luck
  2. Im not sure if somthing similar to micronics is available locally in England, but why not try to find a cheap NetMD unit, such as a N505? I heard you can find one as cheap as $99 in the US. You'll get to title you disc's on PC, and get a second unit. If you are more of a hands-on type, you can try to make your own here
  3. Nice track. Sorta reminds of Supreme Beings of Leisure. So who is this?

    Anti-MP3 movement!

    You listen to Sitar music? RudeDoggy, check out minidisc.org's FAQ section for Atrac info.

    Anti-MP3 movement!

    I disagree, and heres why. What I think some people here are confusing "rap" with, is with what is being sold in the general mainstream. I myself cannot stand mainstream, rap/hip hop, pop, and even most rock and I agree, mainstream music is boring, somewhat unintelligent, and played out, but obviousily omiting a few. You have to keep in mind there is a whole level of "rap": different origins. sounds, and people. Just like other genre's. Ill give you one example: Zach de la Rocha, and Rage Against the Machine. One of my fav bands. If you are open minded you cannot tell me that Zach's rap lyrics are unintelligent; simple. They are far from that. It takes much practice, patience, and skill, to be up at a level to get up on stage and rap for an hour or so. Ask a vocalist, how much of an instrument their voice is.
  6. or you can always come to #minidisc on Efnet and chat, chat away! (shameless plug, sry:))

    paypal

    Somthing similar happened to Francis Tung (http://www.minidisc.hk.st/), whom actually lost a lot money due to paypal (you can read his story on his site) I avoided paypal from the beggining and will continue to.
  8. If I remember correctly, that person was asking for the Viao NetMD Notebook. A good person to ask will be Francis T, since he already sells the notebooks. Keep in mind he is on low funds at the moment and will probably take time for you to recieve his products. An alternative will be (like Tharaka already mentioned) Audiocubes (Kohn), and Hyperjack. Good luck!
  9. Not exactly starting from where you left off, but this forum does give you these three options: View posts since last visit View your posts View unanswered posts They are located on the main page of the forum, on the top-right hand corner.
  10. I am pretty sure trackmark's off of a MD wont be picked up by a pc. If you want to split the wav files into individual tracks, I would suggest CoolEdit. Keep in mind this is not freeware, but a trial is available. There are free wav editors aswell, do a google search.
  11. Im not sure of the software, but I can confirm that the same upload restriction as Sony's units apply.
  12. Great find Jimbo! OpenMG file is 55MB, zipped. The serial numero can be found on the inside of the front lid.
  13. I gotta agree with evan. The DR7, it looks nice (to some) cause of what it is has to offer. Its like, liking a rich ugly girl, you know what she has to offer, and you know she's ugly (from the outside) but aftet a while she's the sweetest chick you've ever seen (j.k)
  14. Welcome, and im glad to hear you are happy with the purchase ~This thread will be moved to "Readers Topic"
  15. wasteland, sounds good to me.
  16. nope, they have 505/707/N1 here. Yeah its always sweet to see a person with an MD. It's just so damn unique!
  17. Hey im here, but usually I just read. One thing I noticed is that the questions are answered so well, that there is no need to add anything on to the thread. Also, we only have like 300 members, so that can be a reason for the lack of post. Maybe we do need a Offtopic/General forum to get some regular convos going.
  18. I would recommend Sony's MZ-S1. The S1 is a NetMD unit, so you can record your MP3's at mutiple speed via OMG/Simple Burner. This pretty much fits what your looking for: "Features: First "Sports" Minidisc portable. Second (after the MZ-1) Sony MD recorder to incorporate backlit LCD on main unit (amber backlight). No remote; "one-thumb" joystick control on top of unit. "Buckle"-design case latch for improved ruggedness. Bright reflective surface (presumably to reduce solar heating and make finding a dropped one easier). Sony states "Splash Proof Water-Resistant(1) Design with high-impact plastic housing is designed for outdoor fun, with rubber gaskets, bushings, and waterproof seals that help keep out water, moisture, and dirt" but clarifies "Not meant to be immersed in or come into continuous contact with water"." Keep in mind, that this MD unit is more on the large side, the mini. Well not too large its about the size of a tape player. Almost like the yellow sport cassette walkmans Sony introduced in the 90's. Also, there is no remote jack, so...well, no remote. A mic input is not available. Click here for pics, and more info.
  19. Where in Canada are you located? If you near Toronto, Pacific Mall would be the place to find and purchase a remote.
  20. lamewing: I locked your "NetMD laptop NEED HELP II!!!" thread because the exact same thread was posted in the NetMD forum and is in discussion there. I did use my common sense, and provided a link to the other thread, so people can continue their discussion there. There is no use having the same discussion held twice, when it can be done in one thread. I am sure, others will agree with this. Thank You
  21. lamewing, please do not double post. This thread is being locked. Please refer to the second thread found here.
  22. Not having heard the MZ-N10, I cant comment on its "superior sound quality" but I do know that it has Atrac DSP Type-S, which improves the sound quality of MDLP (LP2/4). As you know, the MZ-N1 is lacking this. The MZ-N1 has Typr-R. Type-R improves the sound quality of "SP". Keep in mind, MZ-N10 already incorporates Type-R along with Type-S. The N10, also has "Virtual Headphone Technology Acoustic Engine" which uses DSP to provide "Studio, Club, Live, or Arena" effects. Another advantage the N10 has over the N1, is its netMD transfer speeds. N10 has LP4 audio downloading at 64x realtime (LP2 @32x?, SP @ ?x). Where the N1 has half of that (16/32x), and dosnt support true SP (only realtime). As for portability, The N10 "Unit is 30g lighter and 2.6mm thinner than the MZ-N1" You can get more info here: MZ-N10 MZ-N1
