How comes Amazon.UK ships electronics outside of UK... or if you are in, how do you get the VAT? I'm a little bit confused here. I wanted to buy from there bıut says ships only in UK. I see now. That unit is refurbished, and not Amazon's but a reseller's unit.

Since I have NH1 I had skipped RH10, but because of the rumors of ending MD, I had been looking to buy a RH10 for the few days. I wouldnt mind if the new unit did not have a large display. I just want to hear that MD IS NOT DEAD. AND A DECK!!! HEAR ME SONY. A himd deck with usb and if possible a wifi connection.

My merory was telling me that these were introduced here... Then why search topic returns 0 answers? Anyway they are still missing in minidisc.org's equipment browser... So my topic is still valid. I used to contribute there (5-6 years ago) with my real name, but it seems that contribution is less nowadays.

I dont even recall showing up here some player models I have seen on audiocubes. I was surprised to see the following mosels: eh50, eh70, eh930 I've done a search within the forums here with zero return. People are talking about still buying eh1. Anyone got above mentioned models?

I think you are wrong. look at the bitrates, 256 and 64 are HIMD formats. Machine translation: 40GBのハードディスクにリニアPCM/ATRAC/MP3形式で録音 As for the MD and the CD of course, the FM/AM tuner and the analog sound source, the linear PCM of the CD and homophony quality, the ATRAC of treble quality compression, sound recording is possible with three types of the MP3 whose is widely used. It corresponds to wide music life. As for the ATRAC, 6 modes of the 256/132/105/66/64/48kbps, as for the MP3 you prepare 5 modes of the 256/192/160/128/96kbps. The sound recording type which is adjusted to use can be chosen.

Still not a deck but Sony is not letting MD down. http://www.sony.jp/products/Consumer/netju...M7HD/index.html and this one, but only mdlp http://www.jvc-victor.co.jp/audio_w/produc...d1-m/index.html but still hope for MD... and sorry if posted earlier.

Hatred? Yes! Not to MD but to Sony. I have been using MD since 1995 (at least 15 different devices). Before that, that was DAT, before Betamax, before.... that goes on ... Sony is the nastiest company in the world. See, my last 2 items were NW-HD1 and HD5. I stuck with first gen HiMD with NH1. Now, where is the support for all these devices? HD5 has seen firmware 1.2, and DONE!!! because Sony dont like its customers. Where is the support for all new bitrates? WHERE IS THE NEW FIRMWARE??? There wont be one, because Sony knows that we are all idiots! we are going to buy new items from them and leave behind our brand new recorders/players, while Archos or Cowon or Creative were releasing new firmwares for their older items. I have spent more than 5 grand on MD technology, equipment and blanks (I still have more than 200MD's in their original packages). I have bought their flagship MDS-JA50ES for $1500 in 1996. I have all the right to curse to Sony. There were no need to abandon MD. where do you find 1GB storage for less than $7... and it could fall if HiMD could survive. Either Sony will learn to co-exist with the brave new world or it will die. Thats for sure. If they dont change their way of thinking, if the world cant change them the end is inevitable.

At least they could have released a full deck and then go to HELL!!! I could have listened to it and drink to SONY's death. What a sucker! How many times Sony has deceived us. They really deserve more than all the hate they get.

I ripped 3 CD opera @192 to fit in a 80 min MD for the first time. Transfered from NH1 to my desktop easily… OK thats fine, BUT… That one asked me to initialize my HD5 AGAIN!!! Whats wrong with my HD5? Every SS version asked me to initialize the damn thing.

My NW-HD5 had come with SS 3.1. When I installed SS 3.2 to my son's computer I had to initialize the my HD5. Thats OK. Now that I am trying to connect it to my PC with SS 3.2 installed it says again that I should initialize it again. Now that I am also upgrading my notebook to SS 3.2 probably it will again ask me to reinitialize the unit. So what is all this thing of easily transfering what you have to any computer. This legend that Sony was letting us to use endlessly our players with any computer we want. On the other hand I dont see any menu item which will let me to reinitialize the unit. It seems that we all have to first initialize the unit when it is empty with more than 1 PC and start using them. Or not? I dont know but Sony pissed me again. I am not using its damn music server and wont be using it ever. All I want is to be able to transfer music in 3 computers, but I see that it is not possible.

Yeah one of the victims is me. It had happened after I recorded a concert, and the disc went mad trashed everything on my return home, and later it did all kinds of nasty things... not quitting the unit is one... gave all kinds of errors which I forgot what now. When it came out I saw that the metal part was slided down, I replaced it but didnt work... then it decided to work again and now it is still working. I dont rely on this one, but I cant prove that it is defective anymore. I think it is better to stay out of the 1 GB discs for a while.

Yes I had to restore an image of my system disk and I didnt want to backup 12gigs of SS data, and I knew that this would happen. SS did the restore operation well, but again the purchased music dont work anymore. Since I am situated outside of US, SS cant get the license (but it did give me access when purchasing), funny huh? I dont care much, I will use the himd renderer to get those tracks back.

Since most of my SP recordings were made on MD-JA50ES Sony deck from my old Denon 3560 CD player and then from Marantz CD63mkII-KI (Ken Ishiwata's signature on it) I keep all of them (over 250MD's). God! How I used to scan all those CD's covers then shrink them to MD sizes. It took too much time and I cant delete them anymore.

I checked LP2, because I had a longer history with NetMD than HiMD. Istarted in 1995 and my archive was of course composed of SP recordings. Then beginning with NetMD I deleted some of them to use more space, still buying more blanks. Now I am using mostly hi-sp, reformatting my LP2 ones, but I still keep some of my old SP recordings.

Welcome back. I had to check over and over if it was working. I cant sleep if I dont check the forum at least twice a day. So, now I'm going to bed.

I totally share your anger which I had previously expressed here. I have all kinds of MD equipment which had driven my wife crazy for all those past years. She stopped whining when she finally decided that I was nuts. I bought NH1 late august and though it is small and sexy I am tired of carrying its cradle wherever I go. Not to mention I had to format it many times. Last format was made by my son whose notebook did not go on transfering his music unless NH1 had to be emptied. Sony's policy of registering the item over the net doesnt work all times. I understand not transfering back to a computer tracks from another computer, but why not go on transfering other tracks to the item itself. Sony would never listen to its customers and at the end they will go bankrupt. Seen the shares? They had to change the dinasaur CEO! I am not a mp3 fan, I like ATRAC, but I want unlimited transfers in and out to any computer I want. Until then I decided not to go with any other product from Sony, if it survives. Though new models are shiny, the next and only item will be a HI-MD deck.

I dont know if this is discussed or been noticed yet, but SS 3.0 now puts date and time stamps to my NH1. Up to now this feature was only available with real time recording. This is very good indeed. I havent tried for the optimized files from mp3 but when you burn a CD from within SS 3.0 the stamp appears. Still, the date and time are irrelevant. One of my albums now have year 2000 the other 1994 in their stamps. So my question is: in which step this stamp is made? While transfering the CD into SS, or while transfering the files into NH1? Since previous SS's didnt do that, I presume this is a novelty of SS 3.0. But why not the day when the files were transfered either to SS 3 or NH1?

Can I be your dad. Promise! I wont freak )

Yes I had a backup which was more than 6gig... short on space I had to delete it hoping to create another backup soon... now its too late. BTW, what was that album which contained 1656 tracks? I deleted that one too and lost many of my oma files and albums: now they have 0 tracks each. Damn you Sony!!!!!

I dont know if this is encoding faster or better, all I know it has messed up all my library. I am a classical listener, and now I see some of my opera albums have been divided into different albums containing 1 track in one the rest in a different album; or concertos in 1 album now scattered in numerous different albums... then again all regrouped in 1 playlist. This is really confusing. Too many entries for 1 album have been created. I havent been too much fan of SS 3.0 since I downloaded and started using it since yesterday. I dont know whether this is the real and final ver. of SS 3.0, but if this is the case, I can say again that Sony should stop writing software.

Yes! I forgot that, still it is bookshelf model not a deck. I still wait to replace my 940 & 50ES

Still it would be nice to see the cover image of an album while listening to it... but does it really worth the price difference?

Since all HI-MD's are the portable ones, what is the necessity of a player only model? A good USB equipped deck is still not in the horizon. So I dont think it is wise to buy a player.

I totally agree with you, black or blluuee! Does anyone know... I may have missed the info... whether RH10 is plastic or magnesium. If plastic NO! But I am surely going for that one. I am mad at myself for letting my nephew take my 2d gumstick battery when I gave him my MZ-N1. I hated the remore, but hey! I always have my NH1's remote. My nephew will eat dust. I wont give that one to anybody. Still the looks of NH1 is better than RH10, especially the charging craddle. Is there a charging over USB, like Sony did with NW-HD3? God! How am I going to wait for this one to be available in Europe!

Then how Sony will make you buy a 3d generation with 3M pixel?
