  1. After about 3 years of use my NHF800 has had its first real issue, just wondering if it can be fixed. The slider on top of the unit is no longer moving the metal catch inside the player that opens the face. The metal catch is jammed and will not move, it is permanently in the open position, so it will no longer stay shut. If i press the sides together it still works, so for now i guess ill just duct tape it shut and keep one disc in. Any suggestions how to get the metal catch moving again?

    FS: MZ-N1

    Sadly it is time to part with my N1 which was my first Net MD and a fantastic player and recorder, It has served me well and I have taken good care of it. The back is a little scratched but the front is in excellent nick. (Its only issue is that the disc ejection mechanism is not fully and discs do not spring out when ejected and must be pulled out when the eject slider is used.) Whats being sold is: - MZ-N1 Net MD Recorder + NIMH Gumstick - Charging Stand - Power Pack (Australian/Not Original) - USB Cable I'm looking for $50 USD + postage payable by paypal or through a western union money transfer, I have previously dealt with Syrius and he should be able to provide feedback if you have any concerns. Please PM me with any offers, if you don't live in Australia it may be advisable to not ship the power pack as it will cut down on the cost of shipping dramatically, instead i'd be happy to chuck in 5 free MDs. (incidentally, how do you guys taking pictorials end up with such great pictures? i struggled miserably ) cheers, steve
  3. it is quite easy to carefully take the slider off another disc and then attacth it onto the one without a slider. I cant find it but i know there was a thread a while back with pictures of a guy taking apart a HIMD disk then putting it inside a regular one it contains the exact steps that you should follow
  4. the remote is for the NHF800 only, if your not doing mac recording there is no difference between the M100 and the RH10 just in price
  5. I had a pair of these and i thought they were great, sadly one of the headphones snapped off when i fell asleep with them on, the only thing to watch out for is they leak sound at a tremendous rate, everyone around you will be able to hear everything playing
  6. if theres no ATRAC codec how could it even upload recordings unless they are PCM
  7. it can transfer mp3s but not atrac tracks??? whats kind of stupid idea is that, what makes MD is atrac and its quality sound
  8. yeh i had a look at jaycar and DSE and couldn't find anything. anyother places? or atleast somewhere with reasonable shipping prices to australia?
  9. I'm in Australia, i was just wondering and have been unable to find anything appropriate here, searching for microphone capsule yeilds nothing at all the major electronics stores and the part number WM-61A doesn't help and doesn't even return a response on the Panasonic - ECG website. any suggestions as far as where to buy and what i should search for cheers stephen

    WANTED: MZ-N1

  11. yeh ive used optical out on my G5 Powermac to record discs to my old MD recorder doesn't make a really big difference as far as i can tell though

    MZ-RH10 and Mac

    a good way that i sometime use, is to plug the MD into my mac and then record it using a program like Sound Studio 3.0 which is quite a good recording program, however directly recording might not be that much quicker then using Sonic Stage in VPC http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10003 for Sound Studio
  13. I would like to repeat the same point I posted on your site, With such valuable interviews I find it hard to believe that you didnt keep a hard copy on the MD or even move the recording from Sonic Stage, sonys software is buggy but such valuable material should be backed up whether kept on Disk you recorded onto, converted in a WAV and put somwhere safe on your Harddrive it isnt sonys fault you failed to back up your work

    upgrade mz-n10

    A great source of cheap HiMDs is www.minidisc.com.au they are currently having quite a sale
  15. I'd very much like to see a new HIMD deck, car or otherwise
  16. i just saw this on the net http://aes.harmony-central.com/119AES/Cont.../PR/PCM-D1.html it looks like a piece of expensive crap but i think this is where sony is heading as far as recorders are concerned, flash memory and i dont thinks it supports ATRAC, just PCM with a RRP of 2000 dollars it fairly useless for me and its made from titanium, imagine a titanium MD, that could have been something

    Hi-MD, Bye-MD?

    i hate to say it, but we all new that MD was marketed terribly and would never be around for ever, economically its no surprise that its getting canned. but its a shame sony decided to make it happen
  18. Zathura i was wondering could you explain the exact thinking behind the sonys decision? cheers
  19. does that mean they are going to stop supplying the 1 gig blanks aswell?
  20. man thats sad, shame about that, hope it doesnt mean sony kills the format
  21. i tried out the program today with my nhf 800. it told me there were tracks and even gave me the names but it wouldnt let me upload the tracks. so its really up to sony to allow me too stephen
  22. What would be really good is if sony and apple tried to work together. As in integrating ATRAC with the itunes software and the itunes store offering downloads in aac and atrac formats. this however is not going to happen unless sony cedes the online music battle and agrees to play second fiddle to apple. instead sony are probably going to fight this to the death and lose the standing they once had as music hardware innovaters, with the minidisc, atrac and anything associated with it going the way with Beta as better products that lost out to sonys incompetence. i think that unless sony gives up soon and tries to make peace with apple, the only thing we will see in a few years are white headphones
  23. where are the mds in melbourne? imight be intereseted in buying one stephen
  24. i sent him the money, i had a NHF800 in 4 days from the other side of the world. im happy thanks stephen
