It is a little fatter than other modern MD portables. I checked and it seems like its exactly 4 minidiscs thick

Oops, I didn't know CDex doesn't encode gapless... Can you recommend an encoder that would produce a gapless mp3 so I could do an accurate test?

Beside battery life, you might want to think about power surges. If lightning strikes a power line, or if some other big bad thing happens to the power grid you can get a power surge that frys your electronics that are plugged in. If you don't have a surge protector, just in case something happens, I wouldn't leave it on the charging stand plugged in all the time. I have a friend who's computer got broken in a power surge.

Original signal was one wav file, I made it using Propellorhead Reason, it's just a long note... Then I split the wav file using GoldWave so that it spread across two wav files... Then I encoded each wav file using CDex into mp3-160 (lame) Then loaded them into Sonic Stage 3.0 (JP) and downloaded them to the RH10 leaving them as mp3, then downloaded a copy of the tracks (still encoded into mp3) letting Sonic Stage convert them into Hi-LP as it transferred. Played back all four tracks (two notes x split in half) into line-in and recorded the results... Then preceded to measure the size of the gap back in goldwave... Then encoded the line-in results as mp3-32-mono (lame) for upload to the internet.

I tested it out and attached an mp3 file of the results to this post(played the split track into line-in) there is a note that plays twice and has a gap in the middle each time. the first time it plays is the Hi-LP gap, the second time it plays is the mp3-160gap [attachmentid=195] Here is the important information: Hi-LP gap: 160ms (.160 seconds) mp3-160 gap: 122ms (.122 seconds) I measured these gaps using GoldWave (I only tested once so this wasn't an average of the gap or anything, but it seemed to be the same each time I played it)(Also this was done with the quickmode setting turned on, but it also didn't seem any different with it off) Hope this helps to answer your question RH10_Hi_LP__mp3_160_gap_test.mp3

Yeah the North American model's remote only has buttons, no lcd. They always sell a step-down version remote in North Amerca because most Americans don't have a use for the expensive kanji features of the Japanese remotes. Is it true that the only color being release in North America is black? I tired to find out, and all the American eTailers only sell black models. Does anyone know if black is the only color?

Yeah, its looks really depend on the lighting, and I never carry a mirror with me, but now if I'm out and I need to check my hair or something I got this little beauty. (j/k not that vain)

Here are all my pictures of the MZ-RH10 Silver Enjoy: http://kung.111mb.com/minidisc.php
