I believe the NH900 or the RH10 are really the best to choose from in this scenario.

Welcome to the forums, lunatic. Yes, Hi-MD units can upload recordings faster than real-time and offer many more ATRAC3/plus options than you're used to. I think that you would also benefit from reading this page: http://www.sony.net/Products/Hi-MD/ Nonetheless, before recommendations are made, what is your maximum budget?

Welcome. Uninstall via the directions in the faq, install the driver for your unit, and then install Sonicstage 3.1.

You and me both, brother.

Please do post back with what Radiohead you have..

Have you tried it with the ac adapter plugged in? What happens when you upload the audio, is it the same on the computer?

Welcome. Try reinstalling via the directions in the FAQ.

It doesn't matter; companies will make multi-format playback decks and we'll be content. (hopefully)

No, it came from ebay; a seller by the name of sunnylife_jp. Much cheaper than Audiocubes and less hassle, and will also honor any "gift" requests. Check 'em out, DaikenTana. As for obtaining a NH700 (if one were still interested), it seems to be prety difficult these days as most places that would carry it no longer do so.

This is true, banjo. The only way to write real SP to a Hi-MD disc (which is questionable as Hi-SP would really be a better route) is in realtime via an analog or optical connection from the music source to the Hi-MD unit.

Well Sony isn't really keen on fixing things, it seems to prefer nullification instead. For the average person not in the know, it can seem as if Minidisc is dying or getting canned. Not true - plenty of patents in queue. Things are just going to become more focused with more mature exploration of capabilities (think Hi-MD Video). Sony is listening to us, but they have to subdisize things accordingly; think about how things have progressed..just examine the equipment browser for example. It's just too much.

Alright, give it a shot.

Not true at all - we just prefer constructive criticism. Little do others know, but you have the same IP as hair old. You have now made three accounts in the forums that consistantly do nothing more than troll. I have now banned your IP address. - Your latest account - hair old's antics - ggoat!!'s antics

It's just *.flac, right?

To all - What do you think could benefit the connect music service? In my opinion, make a UMD burner and drop PSP's to $200 and enjoy complete market takeover.

Welcome to the forums. Wait till you get to Japan; not only will the unit selection be exceptionally better, but you will also enjoy lower prices. Have a safe trip and please do visit us when you settle in - spread the word about this site as well if you could.

What! That is the coolest thing ever, and I even traced the IP you posted with..it's from Europe. Weeeeeeird. Welcome to the forums, and don't mind him, he's a troll. You should upload some of your recordings to the gallery!

I thought your inital suggestion was good - what a shame. Google is great, but sometimes I swear it kills discussion; not specifically here, but with the Internet as a whole.

I (kurisu) have nothing to do with this post; I'm just helping cfairfowl share it with the world. It all started with this topic: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=8570 The cradle and how it works - 2 solenoids push the play and record buttons for you when commanded to do so by a timer. When the signal is cut from the MD machine i.e. the tuner is also powered down by the timer the walkman goes into pause mode and then shuts down altogether after five minutes it’s then ready for the next program. You have to have the power supply connected to the walkman but that’s not a problem as the cradle is designed with that in mind. I am a Design draughtsman working in the subsea oil and gas industry so designing it was easy for me (I use CADD). I had some of the components made, made some myself and a friend did the electronics. I use it to record the Classical music from BBC Radio 3 when I am out of the house or if they come on early in the morning while I am sleeping. The NiMD will record (as you know) on and off for up to 7:50mins in HiSP or longer in LP if required. The cradle is not a one off program timer..it will start stop, start stop as many times as you want until the disc is full – I use a 7 day timer that has 50 switches (that’s on – off 25 times), it can also be set to operate every Mon. or Tue etc. at the same time saving on programming so if you have a favorite program that comes on every day one program will take care of that leaving you 24 to play with ..very flexible. The timers I use are simple domestic timers and cost me £14 for 2 from ARGOS….nothing fancy. You can simply cancel a program to so if you want to re-use that time you don’t have to reset it again you just reinstate the function – really well thought out. As you can see the closeness of the buttons on the walkman does not present a problem I got round that by using off-set push rods and it works fine – the unit will work with 2 small square 9v batteries. You must have a walkman with PUSH type buttons not slider buttons though.

I'll see what I can dig up.

Amazing. How is this possible in a "free" country? Upon reading this, how do you feel?

Already in the news section, talk about it here: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=10819

I have to add the file extensions manually. Gimme a bit and I'll hit this thread up when it's ok to do so.
