Not sure if you are replying to what you thought I just asked or something someone else said.

Thanks everyone for all the help and the distinction between Net MD and HI MD... I think on minidisc.org there should be a comparison made between these so people who dont know about this can easily find out the answers. One last question... this is regarding the quote below: Just to clarify: You are saying that I can record a live concert and then try and transfer it to my pc, and basically, because Sony is cheesy, that it can "randomly destroy tracks"? Does it just not include them in the transfer or actually remove or corrupt them on the MD unit itself? That would surely suck... especially if I paid a good chunk of cash for a unit that is supposedly designed with a great deal of integrity. I will check the "workarounds" on the forum... so if I do make this purchase, then I wont be stuck with this problem.

Thanks for the info. on the NH 900. Looks like a very nice unit. Now, I am still trying to figure out the differences between HI-MD and Net-MD. So far I really havent seen and comparisons... only descriptions on minidisc.org about the individual functions that each have. From what I see, Net MD uses faster technology to download/upload to/from a pc using USB, than some other unit... and I am not sure what that other unit is. If it is in fact an older model of MD or the HI-MD. I just need the differences laid out. I do however see that HI-MD will allow for a 1GB storage capacity whereas the older models only allow for 160 MB of storage. I have copied the FAQ below to make sure I am understanding this correctly in saying that this question was posted before HI-MD came on the market. If I am missing anything or anyone can point me in the right direction to clear up some of my confusion, I would appreciate it. Thanks so much for all the help :grin: :grin: :grin: What is the storage capacity of MDs, CDs, DATs, DCCs? MD: ~160MB for 74 min. in audio mode [140MB in Data Mode] CD-ROM: 650MB CD Audio: 740MB DAT: ~1GB DCC: 175MB [60 min. tape]

Fair enough aeriyn.... didnt realize that. And by the way.... thanks for pointing out the difference between forums.minidisc.org and minidisc.com My bad in not looking a little closer. I thought they were identical. Now, kurisu... thanks for your time... I have unlimited cash!!!!! Not really.... but I know minidisc and acessories can be costly... but I really do want the best bang for my buck. I was planning on spending about $300.00 US but... I dont want it to die within a year or two, or have it not do certain things that I would want it to do. I dont really know about all the bells and whistles, but like I pointed out, I mainly want it for recording live performances, using a good quality external mic... which is necessary from what I am told ... to acheive the best sound. I do also want it for playing my own personal collection on the go.... in my car and etc.

Is this not the " Find Your Minidisc" place? That is what I am seeking... to find "my minidisc" I havent bought one yet... so I am looking to find "my " Minidisc. Ugh!!! And, the response of FAQ is pointless as that was the first thing I said ... read my first sentence or shall I quote? I will... "Hi everyone. Ok, this might get a RTFM response, but I have read them... thus I post a thread." RTFM='Read The FAQ's Man' I am not so much a noob to forums... just this forum... and have scoured the faq's and have found nothing to support my questions. Lastly, directing me back to the main page of the forum and saying "FAQ" surely isnt going to help someone new to forums completely... so I digress and repeat my original post... can someone be extra sensitive and answer my original questions on a more positive note? Thanks so much. Cheers!!! :grin:

Hi everyone. Ok, this might get a RTFM response, but I have read them... thus I post a thread. First of all, I haven't bought a MD yet... I am looking for info. I need to know if I buy a High MD will it do the same thing, more or less as Net MD? What are the specific differences? I ask because I didnt see a comparison anywhere so far. Also, I am looking to not only record some live concerts, but also just play a good selection of my music that I have on my pc as I go whereever I go. I have see plenty of info in the past but never bought anything as I haven't had quality information from a forum setting, so I figured I would join. Thanks for your anticipated help... and be gentle in responding as I am ever so fragile and viriginal :grin: :laugh: :grin: :laugh:
