Firstly there is NO option on simple burner for PCM! And on Sonic Stage, after ripping all the songs in PCM mode, when I was transfering them to the MD the error message said it could not transfer the same bitrate. The only option was to compress. ??

Ok guys I can't seem to transfer PCM files on to a HI-MD. This is either directly from the CD or PC. I keep trying different ways. Help me out please?

So far I'm very happy with the battery life for the NH1 and it charges up extremely fast. I'm hoping It wont be too expensive to replace the battery in a few years time. NI-MH batteries are great bit I think the Lithium Technology is better and will charge faster. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm still wanting the hack codes to uncap the volume limit. I really hope the listening expereience will compare well with my old panasonic. HI-MD surely must be the way to go so my advice is to not bother with Sharp

I would really appreciate that! I think maybe it is just the volume seeing as I didn't notice any difference with the different headphones. The volume goes up to 30 on mine, so are you saying that it doesn't change after 24? This would be great THANK YOU.

Ok guys I went for a MZ-NH1 and MDR-EX71SLB headphones in the end! It was a good price and I do like it but... the new headphones made no difference apart from blocking out external noise and I think I prefer the sound on my Panasonic! Am I mad, can the volume go louder somehow, is the sound quality really not as good as you'd think...??? The sound just seem so... subdued! Please help, advice.

Thanks very much, to both of you for your help. Right, now to track one down for a good price! Ebay I think...

Few more questions about the NH900 if that's ok... Can you use a NI-MH AA battery for the add-on? And does it charge with the charger too? Is the gumstick battery that comes with it an NI-MH type and how much use will I get from it? I notice this model doesn't have the time stamp, can you still get this info if you wanted it from the PC?

Is the add-on battery compartment essential or will I only need it for long trips? I'll mostly use it whilst comuting to and from work.

cool, it's hard to tell how major people's complaints are in a review. i think this is the one for me then!

Not thats informed! Ok before I track down a NH900, what's this I hear about the screw on battery case being a pain?

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm not at all bothered about MP'3s but yes I would like to record. The most important thing is the sound quality - I want it to be amazing! Is there a differences? I can pick up a MZ-NH1 for £110 including postage. I love the body and it seems to have all the features, but I'd prefer an NI-MH battery rather than a Lithium. Aslo I want to know how restrictive the cradle could be?? I like the 2 new top RH models but they look like they are just waiting to be scratched up! The NH900 seems like the best all rounder but doesn't seem to be a lot cheaper than the supposed higher spec models. HELP!

At present I have a Panasonic SJ-MR230 with a Ni-Cd battery which is almost empty plus its all scratched up so I started thinking about getting a new MD. This led to my discovery of HI-MD's! I can't believe they have been around for a year and I didn't know about them - well done sony advertising department. My first MD was by sony and was great until a 'friend' dropped it while it was open. Can't remember the model number but it was metalic blue and the cutest thing ever! I didn't mind the panasonic but my sony one kicked it's ass. Ok so now I'm really excited about getting a HI-MD and am fed up with the poor quality of my new MP3 player. Just one thing... WHICH ONE DO I GET?? I've look through all the specs and it seems everyone comes with compramises. So your ideas as to what is the best one would be much appreciated please. Thanks in advance!
