my simplified explanation bows before superior branes. thanks dex

i think you come down on my side of the debat exactly here. moral is do your research before buying anything. for me there is a reasonable amount of backward compatibility, mdlp as a format is already very old if counted in personal electronics, legacy playback & netmd transfer is a bonus in a new system not a requirement.

i just ate char grilled lamb fillets on cou-cous with currants & preserved lemons. there was some wilted spinach & rocket in thereas a bed also. lovely. made it all, even the lemons myself.

nice to see a decent resolution, even if it is from hard work & not the result of the gear being returned. thanks for the update mel & good luck with the career & your health.

doubt it in the near future. the 'bottleneck' is the physical movement of the recording head

gen II will record in standard modes via sonicstage though. if lp2 is okay for any legacy md stuff.

i'm a 't-advisor' over there but some of the poster's really piss me off. the one with the hd5 obsession is one of them btw.

singapore airport is pretty expensive for electronics. cheap for booze & perfume, far cheaper than melbourne/sydney/london

read ahead memory aka g-protection malfunction? something similar once happened to me, the track names from the previous disc were copied onto the next disc i inserted in my old mzn1

this was happening to my mzn1 recently until it would only record about 7 tracks via usb, then none. still will record via the line in & optical tho. i think you've reached the end of the product life to be honest.

yeah 5% not that great given sony's high prices. honestly, for portable use i'd grab either Audio Technica ATH-FC7 for $48 or Sennheiser PX100 $63 both from bluetin +10ish shipping or maybe some portpros by koss

test it out at the sony shop. buy online. www.bluetin.com & www.minidisc.com.au are good & will save you money in a big way. a lot of stores in australia don't let you demo headphones or portables though. bastards.

honestly it'd be cheaper 9in the long run to purchase a new himd. the cost of optical blocks + work is scandalous & the advent of himd means you can fit so much more onto each disc whilst still playing back/recording any old discs you own, not to mention uploading your recorded material. my advice would be to purchase a sony RH10 or RH910

old bugger, dodgy ears? kris you're being ageist again.

lovely pictorial bart - good to see you this side of the fence too.

http://forums.minidisc.org/downloads/details.php?file=5 http://www.sonydigital-link.com/DNA/common...p?l=en&v=&m=pad try one of these, with the unit unplugged

when you say it just worked you mean it was recognised & worked as a data/ums device? or that you could transfer music that was playable without using anyother software?

are you gonna wear out side the house, walking around, or just sitting?

if you upgrade to the latest version of sonicstage 3.1 then the new personal audio driver included will overwrite the old/missing one. just unplug it during the install & reboot. plug in after you start SS for the first time

your optical block sounds like it's screwed. repair costs are not much below a new 2nd gen himd unit. please move this thread to software support

i just got an amd barton 3200 & another stick of ddr400 512 ram. my girlfriend bought me san andreas on pc & it was running a littl slow so...

you could even try bill bryson's a short history of nearly everything, a pretty dumbed down but clear run through of most of science & of course there's always steven hawking

i'd say the drm would be more to stop OS piracy. for example i own 5 pcs & two copies of XP - you work that out. the targeted ones will be from keygens & serials floating around the net, cracked versions of windows & big retailers who use the same OEM install on one hundred systems. as it is now windows checks against a database but only for some updates & can block you from them.

again, have a look at http://www.audiocubes.com & have a look at the headphone section. you don't have to buy from them but they have a very wide range. i can repeat it again if you like

931 i assume. lot like 'free' buds you get with sony stuff, maybe a bit better. of the two i'd go ex71 with the short cord. get the white too as the wires seem thicker, less prone to acidental damage.
