Yeah, maybe not... But maybe someone has tried something along those lines... Because it doesnt seem like the AA battery pack has any special regulating circuitry or anything like that... seems like it just sucks the juice out of the battery and pour it into the unit through those two holes on the bottom..

Yeah I was thinking about buying another one... But that will run out in a couple days too... Has anyone ever tried charging with a AA, does anyone have any knowledge about doing so... without the battery pack? It seems like it would be possible... -jx

I don't have the stand, or the AC adapter, I meant to mention. I need a different way to charge the unit. I was thinking... The AA battery compartment plugs into those two holes in the bottom of the unit... What if I rigged up some thing with a AA battery that would connect it the same way?? With wire or something... Would that work? Could it harm the player? -jx

Hey there, I left the charging stand at home, so all I have is the gumstick battery... which is completely drained now. I also don't have my AA battery case either... So, is there ANYTHING I can do to be able to listen again (besides through the computer speakers)??? Man, I really wish these things charged through USB, ahhh! Thanks, jx

This stuff still for sale? Sent PM.

Welp, I went and bought the NH900 from HookedOnTronics.com I just ordered it. I'm slightly nervous 'cus I have never ordered from there, but they are supposedly a trustworthy store.... Good price @ $248 too... We shall see. I like the digital amp and the rechargeability features... as opposed to the 800... -Jx

How significant is the digital amp? And only the 900 and up come with rechargable batteries and a charging stand? Thanks

I think I am leaning toward the 800 HiMD model.... Is there any reason why I should go for a higher model like the 900? Is there any reason why I should go for the 700(which still has mic input, right?) if I can find one? Also, it seems that every good deal I can find for the 800, it is almost always out of stock... Has anyone seen any good deals lately? Thanks! EDIT: I found this... at minidisco... can anyone explain to me why it is only $209 as opposed to the one on the main page which is like $30 more...??

Yeah, I haven't even begun to research mic's yet. What sort of mic do I need? Bi-directional is good, right? Does the type of mic I need simply use one of the standard "headphone" type connectors? Thanks, Jx

I want to be able to record: guitar, sounds, noises, etc. I want to be able to transfer my recording to my computer.... Easily. I want to be able to load my minidisc's with mp3's from my computer, without having to sit there and listen to all of them as they load up... These three things are very important to me, but I cannot seem to find a MD player/recorder that will satisfy all my needs. I have checked out the new models... and they are a bit too pricey right now. My budget is around $200.00 . Any suggestions would be great! Thanks, Jx

What is the deal with the optical in?? What exactly does that allow you to do? Thanks, looking to get an md player soon... -Jx
