NRen2k5 is right to an extent, but optical media shouldn't be totally overlooked upon consideration for archival purposes. I think it has it's merits, just the same as DVD has it's own.

Huh? They are on the "drives". Anything you record through the optical in or microphone is automatically converted into ATRAC.

I don't think that's possible. I believe I read somewhere that the N510 is incapable of such due to it's limited hardware. Sorry.

What? How were you able to post this here..bah. Please post this in the most relevant forum next time..moving this to the most relevant forum.

Sound better? Do you mean in terms of reception or overall sound quality?

Please refer to this page: http://minidisc.org/part_Sony_MZ-NF810.html + http://minidisc.org/part_Aiwa_AM-NX1.html If I were you, I'd go with the NF810.

There currently is no Minidisc recorder with a wireless remote. Knowing this, does it sway you from using a MD unit? I figured I'd ask that before I delve into recommendations. Welcome to the forums, btw. :happy:

You would need to go with a NiCd-rechargeable AA battery for the N505.

Welcome to the forums. :happy:

Nice to have you here. :happy: So now that you're without a portable, are you pursuing another? iPod maybe?

Indeed, avatar-changer-oplenty :rasp: , since I would never dare to install something of gzip's caliber on Eric's server - this is a matter that he will handle on his own time. I'm sure it'll be installed soon, and I merely assumed it was already in since he did "check" it, like you guessed..

Custom ranks are in. There is a 45 character limit, but it will be increased or lowered depending on how it plays out - and it requires five posts for you to use. GZIP is now on, as well. I will introduce predefined ranks as soon as I find/make some decent icons to compliment them. I will probably spend a good bit of tonight organizing the forums, as there are alot of sticky-type posts that shouldn't be, posts that shouldn't be in certain forums, etc.

This is hearsay until I see something offical. :sleep:

That information isn't available at this time, but I can assure you that the capacity for such will be vastly larger than the existing regular MD format. I know from that preliminary spec sheet that we'll be able to bookmark up to 2,047 tracks, so it gives you a good idea about everything else.

Thanks for the suggestions, I have sent a link to this forum post to the site administrator.

I doubt we'll get scorned with the emoticons, D. :happy: Thanks for the offer, I may enlist you in the future but things are still pretty basic right now. I know how critical you are of things, and I'm surprised you didn't have anything else to say - so that must mean you like this place a bit now. Puts me quite at ease.. :happy:

I don't think so, as he registered here not too long ago and is an active member of the forums..

Dead for me as well. Very unlike the T-Board to be down for a long period of time..

Kater, welcome to the forums. :happy: Anyway, iceeedtea made a good reply to a post relating to a similiar issue on another Minidisc forum. Try this out: http://www.minidisct.com/forum/showthread....&threadid=17326 If that doesn't work, report back and I'm sure he'll be able to give you some additional advice.

I came up with nothing. You may want to call Denon and see if they could do anything for you..

Well, considering that, then I'd have to say the 420 for sure then. Welcome to the forums, as well. :happy:

Yes and no, as it depends on how you want to use the drive. For music, it'd basically have to be made by Sony, as they did include a MD drive in a Vaio desktop and a laptop as well. Kenwood has a MD PC drive that fits in the standard 5.25" space in a computer, but apparently drivers for that are nonexistant and it is seemingly a fruitless endeavor. There were a few other products, but in all honesty the best functionality would be achieved with a Hi-MD unit.

Nineteen, and recieved my first MD unit, the MZ-R700, Christmas '01. Ah, analog recordings..

There is indeed an error with uploading avatars, although offsite linked avatars are still functional. I am having the site administrator assist me with this issue. Anyway, I've changed the font for the title on the main logo [yes, a blatant grand theft auto font knockoff, but I am keen to it], but it'll probably change again sometime soon. I have also added new icons to the main index; the white disc represents posts within that have already been viewed, and the blue [Hi-MD] disc signals that there is a post within that has a reply that you haven't read. I am going to turn off guest posting tonight. I think now that I've established a solid foundation for the forums, despite a few little errors here and there, we can continue into the vision I had when I first joined the administration team. Plus, new members are flooding in more than before. :happy: Sorry if the disabling of the guest posting puts anyone off, but it doesn't take that long to register, and it's much easier to keep track of the forums you subscribe to, anyways.

If you want USB uploading, which seems to be an important feature for you, wait for Hi-MD to come out. Only a month or so away..
