So it is. It's nowhere to be found on any UK sites though, other than eBay.

Just had a look around and found this: I'm not sure where they come from, but it was on eBay UK. And they were selling at £22 . Can't find any other pictures except for that packaging though EDIT: Looking again, you can get them for a fiver, but they're only single disk packs it looks like. I'll order one soon (when I get a unit myself) and post some pictures.

I appreciate what you're saying, I've thought it through many a time myself. However, the Hi-MD seems more appealing. It was mentioned before by Tiesto, but you're not going to listen to 20GB of music in a day are you? The thing with a HDD player is that the capacity is non-upgradable. As soon as that 20GB is filled up, I'll have to start chopping and changing my collection. Another advantage of my getting a Hi-MD player, in my opinion, would be that I have my music backed up on something a little more secure than a hard drive (IE. my computer). I'm not rushing into anything just yet, I haven't got the cash; but as I said, Hi-MD seems more appealing to me than a HDD player.

The RH10 is attracting me more and more, , as I love the style of it. I probably will get that model, but one question: Does it use/come with a rechargeable battery, or will I have to stick to AA batteries? I have decided I will get a minidisc player though, as the advantages far outweigh anything else. Just have to wait and see if I can sell my Micro. Thanks for the help anyway, I'll post back when I manage to get my hands on the RH10.

As I said, if this has been said far too often, I'm sorry. Okay, I've got an ever increasing collection of music (as do most people ) and I feel that the HDD player I already have (it's a 5GB Zen Micro) isn't going to last much longer; in fact, I've about 100MB left. All my music is encoded in MP3 at 128K, and obviously I don't want to go any less. So, I'm thinking of turning to Hi-MD. Why? Well, the storage capacity is practically infinite isn't it? I was thinking of getting an NW-HD5, but I know that I'll soon run out of space on that. Size is also a problem for me, since I don't want to lug around a bulking great 20/60GB HDD. Back to the point though. Minidisc confuses me - there's all these models and different types, and my head is spinning thinking about all of it. I've had a look around, read different forums and places, and thought that the MZ-NH1 might be a good place to start. It is, after all, for mainly playback purposes, and the NH1 is a relatively cheap model. If I were to get one, it was either that or the MZ-RH10 (which I think looks brilliant, but it doesn't have a cool LCD remote ). Anyway, I'm a complete and utter newbie at this, and I expect a few of you to say I should stay away from MD, but would you care to give me some advice or recommendations please? 'Twould be much appreciated. Thanks, Lee
