Welcome, Tarcka. This has been covered before, but I'll answer it regardless. You can put music onto a Hi-MD disk without conversion [like *.mp3], but it will not be playable on the unit. A Hi-MD disc has a few parts to it [putting this in basic terms]: the data section and the music that is playable in the unit itself. These two are completely independent from one another. So, you can transport the *.mp3's to another computer or keep them as storage, but to hear them on the unit they'll have to be converted to ATRAC.

Yes, as long as the computer in question can register a USB mass storage device [which most newer generation computers can].

Good points. I think that this method is a bit outdated, but will be useful to those who search for it. It's life as a sticky is over, though.

There are some great recommendations in this thread for all shapes and sizes. It looks like jadeclaw's recommendation is the most compact [and probably functions somewhat well], whereas the aforementioned Audiotrak Optoplay [with it's 5 ft usb cord] has it's quirks, and the M-Audio Sonica is a good base for laptop [and possibly home if you felt inclined] audio. Maybe you guys should list other options, and I could consolidate them into a list and post it into the Live Recording forum as a sticky [preferbly ones with digital I/O], and here as well?

God bless Sony's DRM! :whatever:

I hope I'm not the bearer of bad news, but the NH700 does not have a digital amp. Also, you won't be stuck with analog dubs, either. Just do a 1:1 realtime upload through the USB playback functionality of the unit. I'm having reservations about buying one of these units now [NH900] since Hi-MD media is in short supply. Maybe I'll hold off until the media is for sale at Wal-Mart for that hypothetical price of $9.99 a 3/pack ensuring I don't get frustrated having to use 300mb discs.

..and could also make upgrades [to make the site faster] come steadfast. Any time you guys buy anything from Audiocubes, Minidisco or Minidisc Australia and use our affiliate links it gives us a very very small cut. These little percentages add up over time, however.

No problem, HH. If anyone orders anything from audiocubes, make sure you click on our affiliate banner on the top of the forums [if you don't see it hit refresh a few times] to get there first. :happy:

Regardless of what the manual is, we have it in it's English form. http://minidisc.org/manuals/sony/Sony_MZ-N...tion_manual.pdf

Welcome, Zeus. :happy: USB playback only works with Hi-MD units.

The speed is fine for me. *shrug* :sleep: If you have a bunch of windows/tabs going it will be sluggish [during peak hours]. I'll just ignore your comment, Daijou. Anyway, welcome aeriyn to the moderating team. :happy:

Read this thread and do exactly what it says in the reinstall directions: http://forums.minidisc.org/viewtopic.php?t=4171

Yes. They are quite different. Do you need a replacement?

No, you're not understanding me. You need to go into your REGISTRY and remove the specified things. If you do not follow the reinstall directions in the NetMD faq, then I cannot help you.

So you're telling me that you uninstalled all of Sonicstage, OpenMG and did the registry edits before you tried to install again?

Welcome to the forums. Please read the NetMD faq found in the NetMD forum and uninstall via the directions it gives and then install Sonicstage 2.1 from connect.com.

Yes, Simple Burner 2 is hosted at forums.minidisc.org, here: http://forums.minidisc.org/downloads/details.php?file=2 You need to be registered with the forum to grab this download - registration is easy and free. A nifty utility that allows one to rip cd's to MD without Sonicstage - it requires that it's installed, at least. This version is compatible with NetMD and Hi-MD, and also features PCM support.

That's correct. You can record a disc in mono mode and get double the playing time with the obvious sacrifice in quality.

Welcome to the forums. Unfortunately, no, this unit is not MDLP compatible. You can find more information about it here.

NH900 should be out before the NH1 AFAIK. I would expect it to ship perhaps a half-week to a week before? Has anyone in the UK got a NH900 on pre-order that can give us a little more insight to this?

I love it when you two pick at each other. It's entertaining [and not to mention usually a good read if you keep it within the bounds of sanity]. :happy: [just don't cause one another to leave, otherwise I'll bap yeahs]

I look forward to your review and possible observations about the Hi-MD live recording process. If it's over 500 words I'll throw it in the Product Reviews subforum. You excited? Hopefully Hi-MD blanks will be common in Canada soon.

If someone can crack the .hrm file then you're set. Moving this to the correct subforum..

You've already made a thread about this, here: http://forums.minidisc.org/viewtopic.php?t=5438 Please continue discussion there accordingly.
