I'm interested as well as I seem to recall one of the early specs for the unit was a sidecar, interested to hear what it actually came with. Lucky sob Take care, Bob

The easiest answer is record something you are familiar with using both bitrates, and listen to them both with good headphones, or a good quality hi-fi setup. Arguments to which is best are pointless as everyone has different sound percetions and hearing losses. HTH Bob

Hi Prag, Just to adress a couple of issues. If the setup you are using feeds into a mixing board, your best alternative is to feed the line out of the board into the line in of the MD recorder, I've done both ways, and found especially in a live setting with a lot of people around, you get a fair amount of crowd noise with your recording using mics.. Read the forum sections about recording for different suggestions of mic's etc.. No media is truly everlasting, MD's seem to last better than most, I consider CD's one of the least reliable methods of back up, if you are in a high heat/high humidity environment you may find you will lose a lot of cd's to having the reflective layer bleaching out. In 11 years here in the Cayman Islands I have probably lost 200 cd's to this, I still have thousansd of LP's and 45's in Canada, some 50 years old that still play perfect. My advicew for data storage would be to tranfer your MD's to a good reel to reel, as well as hard drive backups, although gard drives do fail. You could burn dvd's or cd's with your music, just twice a year make a backup of the cd. For a unit look at minidisco, minidisccanada, or minidisc australia, they have had, or still nay have some 1st generation bundles for reasonable prices, something like an MZ-NH800 or 900 will probably fit your bill quite nicely for not too mucjh money, then after getting used to the format you can decide if the RH1 would work well for you, Good luck, Bob

As far as I understood it will upload Mac and PC, with mac as I understand it will only upload PCM. As far as the original problem, I like the idea of the fresh install of SS.. You could also try resetting the M100 and see what happens, Bob

"and i take his/her word with a grain of split salt.!" I think a pound or two of salt wouldn't be enuf Bob

Hi Parag, Welcome to the forums, and hope you will be happy with whatever you get. The 910 is a nice machine that would peobably serve you well. Read the review elsewhere on the RH1, this is the definate flagship of the MD fleet, very aptly taking over where the NH1 left off. While you can't record directly in .WAV, the transition to atrac is so seemless you won't notice, and Sonicstage 3.4, will let you import anything you can reciord. If you can wait a bit and can spare the expence, get the RH1, if that doesn't matter, the 910 or RH10 with OLED are quite nice, well, there are some deals around on first generation bundles with cheap mics at reasonable prices. I have had quit good luck with line in recordings on my NH1. Hopefully I haven't confused you too much. Take care, Bob

Again, wow what a unit. Perfection would be a couple of tweake on SS and Simple Burner. Wouldn't it be nice if they had a make it fir bitrate so the last album recorded to fill a disc wouldn't have to have the last few songs at a low bit rate. Sorry for going off topic slightly, great job in the translation, would look really good with my NH1's. TTFN Bob

Best wishes to you Chris and jadeclaw, hopw many more come your way Bob

On " Your professional day's on stage", anyone I'd remeber or know? If you don't want the gp to kow a PM would do. Take care my friend, Bob

Hi Philb, Welcome to the machine, and hope you have lots of fun with your unit. If you haven't already, get sonocstage 3.4 or it's newest varient. You can get it here on this forum for the low cost of (free!!) Take care, Bob

"and of course; i only use my Hi-MD900 outdoors while i am going somewheres; unless i forget them; then ,i just sing to myself." I Hope they are happy songs you sing to yourself, althugh it is nice to confuse people. Weatherwise down here its about 85 F, slightly cloudy, no snow. TTFN Bob

Congratulations my friend, at 3 on my end you are wayyy ahead of me, but I have a few years to catch up. Maybe you could put the bug in the older ones ears that grandpa loves minidisc, and a happy grandpa is a very good grandpa LOL

Happy birthday as well, are you off to Innsmouth or The Mountains of Madness today?? Take care, Bob

Got to get one of those too. Bob

Mine comes up error translating text. I had two panes open and translated 1 paragraph at a time. Again I like what I see, if they would only lift tr restriction on uploads, and let you upload any minidisc you "own" it would be perfect, but 97.8232659 % isn't too bad. Thanks for the translation BTW, maybe a bug on my end. Take care, Bob

Just got an e-mail from mdcenter.nl about a review of the RH1. Babelfish won't translate, site says there should be an english translation in a couple of days. http://www.mdcenter.nl/redirect.php?file=h...rtikelen/mzrh1/ This baby looks more impressive every time I see it, even shows a RM40ELK remote attached with 3 line info. There will definately be one of these in Bob's life/ Have fun looking at the site, Bob

but if it works !!!!

Using the 40 remote on my NH1 with a loaded disc it takes no more then a very few seconds (ten max, usually a lot less) to find any particular song. Bob

way to go, always a way around Happy trails, Bob

Hi There, did the write protect tab get accidentally set to the wrong position? Also , are you trying the right formatting, etc to the disc (Hi-MD on 1 gig, etc) Good luck, Bob

Hope you and everyone around are ok, and damage wasn't too extensive. Take care, Bob

If I could be any charatcter it would be Marvin ther Martian from Bugs Bunny, but I'm probably closer to being Goofy. LOL Bob

Sorry 4 the late reply, went on hoiliday and ISP shut me down, took a while to get going again. Thanks to all 4 the birthday wishes, will be active on the board real soon. All the best, Bob

Let me see a few follars a gig, or a lot of dollars a gig, no brainer, sexy and small, or ugly as hell, again, no brainer. Life if full of choices, and for the majority of us on this forum, we find the MD format very capable to what we need it for. Sure there are other alternatives, but when you facor in cost of media, and yes, ease of use, MD wins hands down. Let us know how your adventures pan out. Bob

Happy birthday Lyle_in_Edmonton from a former Edmontonian, and as well Happy Birthday Andicillo and Bass_hit, Take care all, Bob
