This maybe out of this subject but I think is worth mentioning on this part of the forum. I worked at Barnes and Nobles and there was this guy who was still using a cassette walkman. I thought as I was walking by, that this format (cassette) might be a next retro thing for younger people and then at the same time I thought about minidisc being a retro as well. Everyone pretty much using mp3 player like iPod, creative etc. So I think MD might have somewhat room for being a unique.

Good for you...it was tempting, however I already own an Rh1 and I love it.

Meaning it works with mac using specific software that Sony provided for mac. Still doesn't work with SS but with Hi-MD Wav for mac, I think thats what the software called. There is a broad of information on it somewhere as to what file can be loaded to mac and what not. I have a G4 PB and I use this with RH1. It is a fair program and at least Minidisc is not totally crippled from using mac.

In exception of md, considering 15 years is a long time so let us all appreciate it instead. I'm not trying to make an argumental topic here richyhu but I am also just trying to be optimistic as well. I wouldn't mind seeing a Hi-MD deck that record PCM with optical/coax output on it with capable of dubbing CD to MD with it...I can only hope.

There is a hack where you can add an optical output on this deck...I added an optical for my JE440. it might be the same thing.

If this ever goes down to 249.99 this thing would fly off the shelf.

Congrats Bluecrab! Please do, we would like to know what you think of it.

Someone is gotta be crazy selling an RH1, I will not sell mine even if my life depend on it. Rh1 is a classic and should not be taken forgranted. The only time I will sell my RH1 as if there is a replacement for it in the near future, otherwise mine will be here forever.

my ex-wife won of this classisc recorder. I still have one and hardly use it but I am keeping mine because of it's built and it was free.

I think Minidisco.com is having RH1 on sale for 299.99 right at this moment.

there is nothing more sexier in woman with a minidisc player on her lap.

yeah, if the price would have been $8.89 I wouldn't even thought about buying any of them either since I already have some md's but the price was right.

Folks, I went to Target just to browsed and guest what I found on their shelve? Sony 5 Pk minidisc for $4.48 not including tax. It didn't say clearance on it or it was not in their clearance section either. So I don't really know what the deal was but they had Four 5 pk in there and I bought all of it from my Target nearby here in Boise, Idaho. It cost me $19.00 even after tax. I know Best Buy, Radio Shack and Fred Meyer still have these 5 pks on their shelves from 8.99 to 11.99, so go check it out. That's all!!! Peace and keep rocking on with you Minidisc.

I'm old school. I like to be able to touch, feel and see things. And this is what Minidisc is about for me. Don't get me wrong I also have iPod but I still love Minidisc.

I chosed Minidisc because I have already invested on this format since 1992 so it is difficult to let go of something I am already familiar with and accustom to. I like the uniqueness of the disc itself, still to this day I think it has that futuristic appeal.
