What bit rates have you tried so far?

Welcome to the forums, eponinecm. I'm not so sure about the microphone. Running a search on MS907, I see it was discussed in many threads, but this gives some clear insight: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=6262 You may want to consider something a little more defined for your application.

No, we don't ban any e-mail addresses here. It's merely a slight error from converting everything from the old forum system to this one. Like I said, try re-entering it in your profile and see what happens.

Yes, that's okay.

Thanks, it was a very scary conversion, as this is a completely different bulletin board system; this one has so much potential I'm still getting the swing of things. Nothing is definite yet, so things will change here and there but I'm glad that you guys like it.

If you donate, it automatically deducts from your bank account or whatever account you've attached to the paypal account.

You guys get too much into this topic, and I would almost stretch to say the whole internet does as well. The internet lives in such a hyper lifestyle. This topic was about a fellow who is not fluent in such things, looked at the specs and made the decision on his own. We all try so hard to display to oneanother that one device is unparalleled or is better in this regard or that regard, but at the end of the day, another Joe A. Consumer may buy a NH600 or some other Hi-MD device. If my friend did [i wish you guys knew him better], there really is hope for this format.

haha, what a unique way to look at 'em, Ben. Aren't the official "oddest" the Koss cheese ones? And semi-on topic, Panasonic and headphones; are their high end 'phones worthwhile?

I would also recommend Slappa cases. They are very well made..

No, don't apologize, I'm glad it was that simple. You would not believe how much more advanced this forum is compared to phpBB.

Good day, I just wanted to note that most of the inital Sony Hi-MD units come with batteries that are not the best possible to use with the unit - therefore meaning that you are getting lesser battery life than necessary! I will list batteries you should employ instead to give you enhanced battery life for a better experience. MZ-NH3D/MZ-NH1/MZ-EH1/MZ-DH10P: Unfortunately you're out of luck. Sony has given you a proprietary battery that is not common amongst other manufacturers. If you are seeking a replacement however, you may get one here @ Audiocubes: <a href="http://www.audiocubes.com/product/Sony_LIP-4WM_Lithium_Ion_Electric_Battery.html?ref=5&affiliate_banner_id=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.audiocubes.com/affiliate_show_banner.php?ref=5&affiliate_pbanner_id=980" border="0" alt="Sony LIP-4WM Lithium Ion Electric Battery"></a> Sony LIP-4WM Lithium Ion Electric Battery MZ-NH900/MZ-RH10/MZ-RH910/MZ-EH930: It amazes me the corners Sony will cut to save a few bucks. The gumstick battery that comes with these units [usually NH-10WM] is a lowly battery that doesn't offer the maximum amount of life that a gumstick battery can offer. I recommend an immediate replacement. The best battery you can employ is a higher capacity gumstick dubbed the Sony NH14WM. I would suggest you try shopping eBay [usually the cheapest there - keep an eye on the shipping prices though ], froogle, your local retailer, or favorite e-tailer. Make sure you get this battery in the 1400mAh or 1450mAh variety! Employing this battery should give you a very favorable increase in battery life. MZ-NHF800/MZ-NH700/MZ-NH600+D/MZ-RH710: Again, it amazes me the corners Sony will cut to save a few bucks [actually, probably millions of dollars]. There is definitely higher capacity AA batteries you can employ for a substancial battery life increase. I would suggest you look into a rechargeable AA NiMH battery in the 2000 - 2100mAh variety. I would suggest you try shopping eBay [usually the cheapest there - keep an eye on the shipping prices though ], froogle, or your local retailer, or favorite e-tailer. ---------- The only harm I can see that might be done to a unit employing such batteries [the high mAh AA batteries] is that it might get pretty hot charging for an extended amount of time [the charge times for these batteries will increase somewhat since you are using a higher-capacity battery!]. If it gets too warm to hold comfortably during the charge period then it may be getting too hot and may either damage some components or cause premature failure of the unit over time. In my opinion, this is an unlikely situation. If you do charge the higher cap cell, keep an eye on the unit and see if it gets too hot - at least for the first few times you charge it. And remember to check the charging time - if its too short you're not getting a full charge. I hope this helps!

Try changing the e-mail address to your proper one and see what occurs. If anyone else is experiencing this issue, please post here.

I would also suggest looking at the products featured at reactivesounds.com and soundprofessionals.com.

Jade, a line by line dissection of my words? I'm honored. I won't reply, but just know that my summations were an intelligent way of saying, "I am sick of phpBB." Regardless, the forum has been converted from phpBB to Invision Power Board 2.0.3. We will never run phpBB again. *throws last piece of dirt over the grave* This new system and interface has flexibility that is nearly unparalleled. I am very excited about how smooth the transition was, and I hope that with a little time we'll all come to love this place as we did the last version of the Minidisc Community Forums. Things are still in a massive beta at the moment, so please report any bugs. I see one already jadeclaw - it has to do with your avatar. I will look into why that occured. Updates to the forum and templates will come gradually. Bear with me whilst I move in.

Of course we care! It's good to see Sonicstage working for someone. :whistle: 'm joking, it's actually not that bad.. Be sure to post back with your impressions of SS 2.3.

Eryn, if you employ Service Pack 2, which I wholeheartedly recommend for users of XP, you don't need that update - and, the link I posted is the same thing that you wrote. Regardless, welcome to the forums :welcome:, and it's always good to see a friend in Japan! :grin:

Heads up: Minidisco has a TON in stock. I ordered four and should be recieving them tomorrow.

DVI is the best absolute connection at the moment for HDTV. There is a new type of DVIish connection called HDMA or something of that sort, but I really question if it's all necessary. My Radeon 9800 Pro does have DVI out. I think you'd have to have DVI in to facilitate that type of transfer. Is there DVI in and out or is it one and the same? I don't even know man. :rasp:

What're your experiences with 2.3 and trashing tracks, Dex? I've had no failures.

Thanks for the info. You ever play a Gamecube? The graphics are rich, the functionality is elementary but addictive and the titles are very fun. The lack of online capability is a bit disappointing in this day and age, but if you've got some mates over nothing beats Double Dash or the other multiplayer titles.

Five thousand now. Good god man, whomever says the MD format is dying needs to get real. :rasp:

Stolen from: http://www.cube-europe.com/news.php?nid=7310 Does this mean that sales of such are disappointing there? UK folk, is the XBox/PS2 the champ? Additionally, could this be revelation that a new system from Nintendo is coming?

Where have you tried to get your versions from? EDIT: Damn you atrain. :love:

The shock protection in the R700 should not be susceptible to these issues. How do I know? I owned one. :rasp:

streaml1ne, you're a saint! I am very glad you've decided to contribute some money to us. We are very fortunate to have members such as yourself and I hope that you have a nice 2005. I will be sure to add you [as well as the others] to the benefits that will occur when we get the new server!
