I commissioned this cover of the original track, this is only a truncated preview version, and I'm doing this for education and research purposes, so it should be covered under fair use. Here are some samples of what I mean about jitter, as if chunks of other samples were being recorded when or where they're not supposed to go. Those garbled sounds can also be heard further on the full track, intermixing with the normal sound. The track named "Jitter" was recorded on an MZ-N430D over USB, using the 4X fast SP upload option on Electron WMD. The one aptly named "NoJitter" was transferred using an MZ-N910, at 4x (no need to toggle the option, seems enabled by default on the application). Same disc, same original file, same computer, same USB cable. The only difference was the recorder. Tracks were transferred back using an MZ-RH1, into Wav format, truncated with Audacity. When transferring the track at 2x using the N430D, the sound is just as flawless as with the N910 at 4x. JitterShort.wav NoJitterShort.wav

I just transferred an SP track to my computer using WebMD from my RH1. You have the option to simply download, which gets saved as an .aea file, which WebMD can transfer back to MD (But only with recorders that support the SP exploits. The RH1 is NOT one of them, I've just confirmed). Or download and convert, which will get you a regular .wav file, usable by pretty much any DAP or media player out there. Hope this helps.

For sale, an entry-level Hi-Minidisc player with HD digital amp and equalizer, which will save wear and tear on your precious recorders. Thoroughly tested and cleaned by me. This player is in very good condition and plays standard Minidiscs and Hi-Minidiscs in all compatible formats and bitrates, with the exception of MP3. This player only comes with the AA/LR6 original external battery caddy, but has been tested to work with and recharge gumstick batteries, so if you have a gumstick charger, you'll be able to use both batteries at the same time for extended play. Very few minor scratches on the front and back. This is supposed to be the white model, but it looks more like a vanilla yellow to me. Does 90 USD +shipping sound okay to you? No discs, remote, cradle, AC adapter or AA/gumstick battery are included. Only the player and external battery caddy. The cradle and remote are only shown here to demonstrate functionality. I will take Paypal only, will ship through UPS ground or USPS within the USA. Canada and Europe, please PM first. Thank you.

No, Hongri-Store

Well, it's more like an adapter, but from the buyer feedback, it should work. https://www.ebay.com/itm/296605668540 Also for the N1: https://www.ebay.com/itm/296767942621 Sorry for the long links. Hope these helps those who need one.

Great point there with the data rate, SFBP. I did some digging around and found out that the fastest transfer the DN430 can do is 32x LP4, while the N910 can do 64X. Perhaps there's more RAM or faster circuitry inside the 910? I also imagine that the S-type hacks that WebMinidisc relies on, must be related to the buffer in the machine, filling and emptying over and over as it gets recorded to the disc, and at 4x, the 430 cannot keep up "stitching together" the chunks of data as efficiently or as smoothly as the 910 can. Still, being able to transfer real SP over USB at 2x (back and forth) is a blessing, so you won't hear me complaining (much).

I'm fine with the RH1 not doing 4X SP upload, so that's not what I'm trying to achieve. The problem I'm having is that I cannot get the RH1 into Unrestricted HI-MD mode, after following the steps indicated in the Wiki. This is as far as I get: Connect the Hi-MD device to the computer, while it's in MD mode (either with a regular MD inside, which has at least one track, or just set to MD disc mode and without a disc) Connect it to Web Minidisc Pro, as you would do if you wanted to use normal NetMD mode. Open the overflow menu, select Settings, then 'enable homebrew mode shortcuts', then close the Settings (this step needs to be done only once) Open the overflow menu, select Homebrew shortcuts, then 'Switch to HiMD unrestricted mode'* Everything works just fine, until the part that's bolded: When I open the Homebrew shortcuts, the option to switch to HIMD Unrestricted Mode is NOT there. Mind you, I was able to get it working as described when using the browser-based Web Minidisc, exactly as the wiki indicates, so it's not a big loss for me. I'm stumped about the fact that it will work with the browser version of Web Minidisc, but not with Electron. Win some, lose some, I guess. There's another issue I'm having, and want to know the opinion of others who own Net MD machines: When transferring tracks on SP at 4X mode using an MZ-DN430, I get "jittery" sound glitches, but when transferring at 2X, the sound is flawless. This happens on both the web version and Electron WMD, regardless of source format. (I'm using pure WAV and FLAC, by the way.) Has anyone experienced something like this? (I will later upload samples showing what I mean) This doesn't happen with my N910, regardless of application version. Same computer, same disc, same USB cable, same source file, SP 4x transfer. The only thing that changes is the recorder. Could it be that my DN430 is a bit of a dud?

Old-style MD, just as indicated by the Wiki. (I use an SP MD to get it into that mode)

I'm having trouble getting my RH1 to work. I have installed Zadig, and can use the application (Electron WMD) to do with the RH1 anything I could with a regular NetMD, but cannot seem to get Unrestricted mode to work. I've followed the steps in the WebMD Wiki, up to "Enable Homebrew Shortcuts" but when I open those, I don't get the option to connect to HI-MD unrestricted. Just "Archive Disc" (clickable) with Strip SCMS, Un-protect All Tracks, and Enable SP Upload Speed Up grayed out. What am I doing wrong? EDIT: Made it partially work by using Web Minidisc with Chrome, this allowed me to install the driver through Zadig. However, I still don't get the option to connect to HI-MD unrestricted in Homebrew shortcuts when using Electron WMD, and yes, there is a regular MD with at least one track in the recorder when I try to do this.

EDIT: I managed to get it to work with a computer after cleaning the USB port, so it is at least partially useful to me. No longer available, thank you. This is not a delayed April Fool's joke. I can't bear to have this mostly-dead RH1 with me, as I cannot use it, so I'd rather hand it over to someone who may want to take it apart for parts, or what have you. I've kept it safely tucked away in a drawer, humidity and smoke-free for years, so it hasn't been mishandled, but it has started to develop more and more failures over time on its own. You're getting it AS-IS, so know what you're getting into before you decide grab this unit: One of the OLED panels doesn't light up anymore. Unit will NOT enter PC-MD mode when connected to a PC. Not sure how or why. The computer will not detect it, but power flows through. The jog lever doesn't respond when moved up or down, or will do something else other than moving the track forward or backwards. (Opening the edit menu, for example) Same when used with the remote (not included): It will either not respond, or activate an entirely different command. Unit will read the disc TOC, and play it if you can get it to "listen" to your pressing of the play button. Makes no difference if it's formatted as HI-MD or legacy. It will try to charge the battery (not included), but I haven't been able to confirm if it will do it to completion as my battery is old and doesn't retain the charge. Unsure if the recording capability still works, due to how "deaf" the unit has become over the years. I was able to record a couple discs before storing it away, however. Please give this unit a decent send-off, dissection or burial, at your discretion. All you will have to pay is the shipping and fair and reasonable handling fees. I will only take Paypal. I will ship within the USA. Canada and Europe, PM first to discuss shipping based on your location. Thank you.

Having watched a repair video by a Youtuber, I can almost 100% assure you the detection is done by a micro-switch or some other physical sensor in the unit that gets pressed down when an MD is loaded. This is the video in question, probably won't help you much, but it's the best reference I got: Good luck.

It's a piece of art made around 2003 by a furry artist named "H. Riesen/Auryanne". I liked it so much I snatched it and gave it a pirate patch (German Shepherds are my favorite type of dogs). Can't find the original around the web, but I'm sure I have a backup somewhere.

Reudant, I'm very, very sorry, but I had to remove your links as it's against the rules to post members' own ebay auctions, due to past abuse. Please, post the pics and asking prices here. I'm sure many people will be interested in them. Best of luck with your sale, both here and on Ebay.

A side question, what's your main language? It seems we have a serious language barrier here. (Your response doesn't really tell us much, sorry)

Sorry, this is not a Windows support forum. That being said, you need to be more specific. What's going on with your CD drive? The more info you can provide, the better.
