This is a JVC XU-301 in great condition and works great. You can copy a CD to minidisc with one button. Also included is a portable minidisc player(It's a Sony MZ-EP11) that you can use to play your minidiscs on the go. It is also in very good condition. I paid $175 for them and am looking to get $110. Thanks. Shipping would be from zip 22193 in VA. I would guestimate that weight is about 20lbs? I'll weigh it if anyone gets interested.

I ordered this bundle on Feb. 2 and today I received a nice little package with Chinese characters and international stamps (and the tracking number) with my new remote and battery were inside. Just thought I'd let everyone know that its legit. Overseas purchases can seem sketchy sometimes but this one was good. -DJ

Well, I just got off the phone with Sony and this is what they tell me after escalating the problem 3 times up to a specialist: 1. The "Create Audio CD" selection only works after you convert the file to a WAV file with Sony WAV Converter. 2.The "transfer count" error message was erroneous and should've said something like "Invalid format" or "Must convert file first", etc. Maybe they will have more helpful error messages in the future. Renaming the file had no effect. 3.You can only transfer a file to SonicStage ONCE! If you EVER try to transfer a file from your MD to SonicStage (NO MATTER WHAT COMPUTER IT IS) again, IT WILL DELETE THE MD!!!! Which is what happened to me. No warnings, nothing. 4. My recording is gone and never will be seen again. Again, THANK THE LORD I USED kurisu's "Guide to Hi-MD uploading" and started with his "upload method 1.1 [realtime]" -DJ I am now an official member of the "He-man SonicStage-Haters Club"

I would be very grateful if anyone can shed some light on the following series of unfortunate events -- I just got my MD recorder (MZ-NH900) a couple weeks ago and LOVE it. I have started making live recordings of praise and worship services at my church (using a nice mic/batterybox and the line-in jack). They came out great. Anyway, yesterday I take the plunge and install SonicRAGE off the CD that came with my recorder which ended up being v2.1. So then I install the upgrade and now I have v2.3. Then I start transferring using kurisu's "Guide to Hi-MD uploading". THANK GOD I started with his "upload method 1.1 [realtime]" first or I would have NOTHING now. Everything still seems fine at this point. After that has been done I have SonicRAGE transfer the recording into "My Library" and name it etc. Then I realize it named the file untitled.ama since I hadn't titled the track on my recorder. So I rename the file using explorer and when i go back to SonicRAGE it tells me it can't the file and asks me to locate it with a little dialog box. No problems, all seems quiet and peaceful. Then... I attempt to then transfer the recording to an audio CD with SonicRAGE but it tells me that I cannot create a CD because the remaining transfer count is 0. What the HE** is up with that?!? ITS MY RECORDING. (btw, I used the line-in connection for my recording) So now I'm getting a little crazed at SonicRAGE. I retry a couple times and search the help file and do a few searches on-line but come up with nothing useful. I even renamed the file back to untitled.oma and let SonicRAGE find it again but this still didn't help. Same message about the transfer count. So then I think that maybe I'll transfer it again because maybe renaming it messed something up. So I reconnect my MD unit and start the transfer again. Seems to be transferring OK but then I come back to try again and there is NO track in my library and it shows no track on the Hi-MD side either. So I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in..NOTHING then I unplug my unit and try to play the MD but the MD display just says "NO TRACK". So now I'm in a RAGE at SonicStage and want to burn it, bash it, and totally smash it. Any ideas on what I did wrong? Renaming file screwed the transfer count? Can you not delete a file from your library without sonic stage removing it from your minidisc? Thanks in advance for your time, -DJ

After much reading I finally decided and ordered. And much to my delight my new MZ-NH900 arrived at my house along with Soundprofessionals SP-BMC-3 binaural with clips and the SP-SPSB-2. Not trying to push them but they gave me a GREAT deal on this bundle. $344.47 for all of it including shipping. And Chris from the Sound Professionals was great too. He spoke with me on the phone for about 20 min helping me figure out what wold be best for my needs and answering ALL my questions. YAY!!! -DJ

www.mutschler.de/mp3ext MP3Ext is an extension for the explorer. It adds a new page to the properties-menu of MP3-files. It shows all info about the mp3-file, e.g. the playlength, bitrate, sample-frequency, and the ID3-Tag if the file has got one. You can even edit the ID3-Tag, and scan complete directories. It installs an Icon-handler for displaying different icons for different bitrates. [i love this feature alone!!!] A tooltip-handler is installed, which displays tooltips for MP3s where the system supports tooltips. Just thought I'd share something I've found extremely useful. -DJ

Bump with price update. This deal is now $95.00 and includes shipping. The seller also tells me that the battery is also compatible with the MZ-NH900 (It wasn't listed in his original email). Seller also has an 1126 rating on ebay with a 99.4% positive feedback rating so they seem to be reliable. -DJ
