Sent another one your way, I hope this one gets to you. Later, POE.

You have a PM. POE.

Being that the discs them selves are pretty much bomb proof, I think Ebay is a good source for blank discc. The only real thing you have to be worried about in this case is just being plain ripped off, IE the seller plain doesn't send you the product. I will say though alot of the sellers seems to think they're(minidisc) are made of gold, they're pretty pricey. If you watch though you can still get decent deals. Also Minidisco still sells blanks, support them. Later, POE.

Doctorminidisc I PM you in regards to the battery extension. Thanks, POE. And thanks Raja for letting me have dibs on the battery extension. Later, POE.

You can even record him on the sly by simply plugging in your headphones into the mike input of your MD. This turns your headphones into a mike. I really don't know how good the pick will be, but I know that it works because I've done it before. POE

If Raja doesn't want the battery extension I'll take it off your hands. Later, POE.

Not to mention you can pickup a backup of that prodeck you use all the time on Ebay. POE.

Sammy Boy you can get the RM-MC38EL for under $20 (including shipping) all the time off of Ebay. There is a silver and white version and I believe they will work with any of your minidisc units. Not for sure about your MZR500, but I use them on my HIMD, my 610 which is the same generation as your 310 player and I use them with my 505 and 707 which is the same generation as your 909 player. Later, POE.

I have tried WMA Lossless and as you pointed out no gapless. Also, Sonic Stage scrambles albums with songs with different artists names, this was really annoying. POE.

The cover feature the way it's described above is how I use Sonic Stage. I've tried to find a way to have lossless music in this format and I haven't found a program yet. I have to agree that it is a really nice way to sort through your music. Just my thoughts, POE.

Yeah, 86-88 is about right. Later, POE.

I have a digital camera but I have no idea how to post pictures to a forum like this. Ok I pulled it out and a handful of minidiscs out and tried out again. Disc with sleeves you fit 6 discs in the outer slots, while you only fit 5 in the inner slots because of the extra divider slots. You have adequate finger room to get disc out even when the slot is full. If there is only a single disc in the slot, the slots are just narrow enough that it's still easy to get it out. I would say that they may be a little tricky if you were trying to do this while driving. Disc without sleeves are pretty much the same except you can fit 10 and 9 discs in the slots. Also you have alittle additional side finger room which would make it alot easier to fetch a disc while driving. Be aware that the front row, the one nearest the latch, has different divider spacings so you can really only split in half. If you keep these slots full though 2 rows of discs will still stay put in each half. This is actually a good place to put extra batteries and anyother supplies. I checked the measurements from the link and they match mine. Later, POE.

Hey Raja I know you travel alot for your job and this box would be great for you. Depending on your car the box looks like it would fit under alot of car seats. You would be able to bring a whole crap load with you. POE. P.S. I'm pretty sure this is the same one I bought mine at a Kmart about 2 or 3 years ago. I check every once in awhile and I haven't seen it avaible since at stores. POE

It's the Plano StowAway 3730. I have one, it is very useful and well built. Funny thing is I don't use it anymore, because I built myself a rack that hangs on the wall for my minidiscs. Later, POE.

I use Itunes for my podcasts and import them into Sonic Stage all the time. I'll tell you now I have never had problems with Sonic Stage having troubles with Itunes mp3 tags for podcasts. Now for your first problem if I understand correct your having troubles downloading Itunes. Go to Apples web site hunt around in the Ipod tab I believe there is a download choice off to the left. Just remember to check which OS your going to use it on. Download doubleclick on the cion it puts on your desktop and go through the setup, use all the default things it asks for(otherwise say yes to everything). The only immediate problem you could be running into is I believe Itunes will only run on Windows XP or Vista, so if you have a older Windows OS that could be your problem. As always if I'm wrong about Itunes and older Windows OSs, guys feel free to chime in. Later, POE.
