Yes. Depends on the CDDB info attached to the track, I suppose. You pretty much answered your own question, though.

I've read in neurosaudio.com forums that vibrations caused by putting the Neuros on a hard surface during recording can cause drop out and noise. Additionally, you are limited to about 4gb of recording data. On taperssection.org forums, where a lot of recording is done to Creative Nomad JB3s, I've been reading why those are so popular for recording. Apparently they have internal battery bays that you can poplulate to get 6hours of recording time to wav. With a Neuros, you will need to build an external battery box from Rat Shack for $20 and plug it into the Neuros. But the big draw of the NJB3 is that it has optical inputs in addition to analog Line In. By using optical inputs, you can put an external ADC between the JB3 and the mics. The internal ADC on the JB3 and the Neuros are understandably not professional grade. And finally, the JB3 has a 1394 firewire port, so you can connect two JB3s together after the show and transfer the tracks from one to the other in about 5 minutes. You can't do that with a Neuros, and a Neuros has no Line Out to run an analog daisy chain. AND, the Neuros is USB 1.1. Hi-MD is USB 1.1. NJB3 supports USB 1.1 but has firewire, which is what I'd delve into if you employ the proper i/o on your computer. I can keep citing facts and opinions on both of these models, but this summation will suffice [or rather, the answer to your question]: If you want the closest thing to DAT it's the Creative NJB3 [would sound the best recording wise and would have less hassle]. Neuros is out of the picture, but with a little time they will be respected [they have a good open source community]. Hi-MD is a close second, is much more portable and has a bit more flexibility. Run google searches and find out more. NJB3 has the best recording potential and the best sound, easily outdoing the iPod. Yes, I've heard both, no I haven't owned both but I have no doubts someone who has owned both would agree.

Well, if you have a MD deck with digital out, you can get a sound card with digital in and transfer in a digital scenario that way [via toslink to miniplug converter], or you can just playback the MD and employ a male-to-male stereo cable from the headphone out to the mic in on the soundcard. Either way is easy, but it just depends on what equipment you have. A program like Audacity would be good for facilitating such transfers.

Audiocubes is great, I've purchased nearly a thousand dollars worth of equipment from them without any issue at all. Their shipping is usually steadfast [despite being in Japan] and the customer support is top notch. I can't help you with #2, but #3, I sorta can. I haven't seen anything comprable except eBay, but even then it's a hit or miss there. What units were you specifically looking at? What's the max budget [or unlimited?]?

Welcome to the forums. I'm not really sure why you've posted in such a big font, but I'll try and help anyway.. Try a different disc first, and where are you recording from?

Does the overall functionality [control wise] and asthetics of the NH900 compared to the NH700 seal the deal or was it just the line-out?

It's logical that it could be the issue.

If I'm not mistaken mmilovan, Hi-MD units with the 3-line MC40ELK remote have the level meters. Additionally, I think it's part of the recent-generation Sharp remotes as well. I think.

If you're into live recording or recording from sources that the iPod cannot record from, then yes, get a Hi-MD unit. Well, better yet, what's your maximum budget?

Aw, why? You're most certainly welcome to be a regular and chew the fat with us. Right. I saw your other post, so I'll reply about that stuff there, but yes, please private message me about the 66XLP and we'll talk.

We're now at Sosumi v. 4, and please read this: http://forums.minidisc.org/viewtopic.php?p=35507

If you ever want to search minidisc.org or the forums via google, check out this page: http://forums.minidisc.org/google.html It's accessable in the Sosumi template in the header, marked as [G] next to "Search". It's also linked within the main search page as well. Unfortunately, since google hasn't spidered the forums properly, it won't work well with the forums but it is semi functional. :happy:

So what's your max budget, henris?

I have altered things with the Sosumi template in a keen fashion and I'm very content with my efforts. Because of such, we are now on the third revision of this template, and perhaps the last. There are dynamic differences between being logged in and out, and the forum overall has a mature feel because of such. I highly suggest that if you haven't seen it in a while, that you switch to the Sosumi template for a day to see what I'm referring to. Nonetheless, I just want to note a very important feature that was taken off the index, "Search for new posts since your last visit" was MOVED to the overall header, and is the [new] next to the Search. I hope that this will make the board's functionality easier for all and a change that will be easy to get used to. I would love to hear comments, complaints, etc to make your experience better overall.

When I hear people refer to serious portable recording, it's either DAT, Creative Nomad Jukebox 3 or Hi-MD [never neuros, but I've heard it's a fantastic device in other aspects]. I'd go with Hi-MD, but obviously my opinion is a bit tainted. :happy:

Why such a long delay for the UK?

I just don't get it though, I think I would've gotten the iPod..he said he did see the NH900 and it was "glorious". I..think I'm going to get one.

It's true, my friend decided as such last night and he has reported that he's extremely satisfied with the purchase. His last DAP was a N707, but he had it stolen a year or so ago and has been without music in portable scenarios ever since. Anyway, one of primary decisions was because he liked the idea of discs, and how Hi-MD wasn't limited to a set amount of storage space. He also liked backwards compatibility with his old and unused discs, and really got excited when I told him about how you can reformat old discs for more capacity. Additionally, he said that the NH600D functioned well in the navigation sense, and didn't seem discontent at all. I thought that this was very interesting, and figured I'd share it with you folk. :happy: I think I'll buy him a 40ELK and some decent cans or buds for Christmas. He sure has the right friend for his new obsession! :grin:

Please don't post in the comments/suggestions to minidisc.org + forums with content related to the Minidisc format itself. I will move this to the appropriate subforum, please register with the forums. It'll allow you access to post in all the forums.

Did you get your Sonicstage 2 from Connect Europe, or just connect.com?

Pardon? [remember to do the "get latest price" = $309] Booyah. :rasp:

Possible new plug-in for Marc's utility? :grin:
