Dude! that is so true, just thinking of what MD would have been if sony would had advertised like apple for the iPod.... we might not even have iPods!

Well, he did show me a skiing magazine that featured the MZ-R70 as the best accessory to go sking ... along with the manual of his MZ-R70

Mine goes like this...Back in 1999 i had a friend and he had minidisc (MZ-R70) and he tried for months to get me to get a player of my own, i kept saying "no, i'll get me a CD recorder" or "what about that HUGE creative Nomad" (this is the "dark age" of my life!!), until a guy we knew that worked at Sony HQ in california said to us "we are having a sale, for employees, 70% off from employee price" to make a long story short, this guy could get a MZ-R37 for $99 US, this is at the time retail at ciruit city was $250, so i said "why not? if i dont like it, ill sell it!!" so then i bought something like 30 blank discs in two weeks (and filled them too!), and the rest is history

Ok, when you plug the player to the computer in Windows... thingy pops out etc.... if you browse the contets of the disc in windows explorer there are a couple directories and files, they are system files needed, if you delete them, the disc is unreadable, your only choice if to format the disc manually on your player, not using SonicStage, and then your disc is usable again.... but your contents are gone.

The MZ-R700 looks cool, has a metal lid, awesome battery life, great interface, out of the box comes with remote, decent sounding headphones. the ONLY bad thing about it was no NetMD, but the player came out before the whole MP3 player thing popularity ipod thingy, so at the time i really did not know what i was missing nor it was missed. as for the MZ-RH900 The buttons are too small, battery life is not as good as any of my old players (without external battery attachment), no remote, plastic lid that scratches easy, menus are not very intuitive, headphones that come included SUCK, HiMD is the only redeaming thing... it is awesome and i enjoy it... but the R700 has a speacial place in my heart.

Since 1999 ive owned MZ-R37, MZ-R700, MZ-N707 and noe MZ-RH910.... my favorite is the MZ-R700

DUDE!!! it works man!!! thanks!!!!

I have problems transfering podcasts to my MZ-RH910. After downloading a podcast open Sonicstage and transfer it to MD, then i unplug my MZ-RH910 and i try to play it and it does not work is displays a message "cannot play back". The same happens when i have the MP3 converted to ATRAC3 with Sonicstage and then transferred. I use HiMD mode for the transfers. so this leaves my with the 'old' Nero Burning Rom trick of... burning a audio CD image, mounting it and using simple burner to transfer it and then it plays.... but it takes a while to create the image and then transfer it. and thus it defeats the purpose of having bought a new unit. can anyone tell me of a way to get around this problem... either a program that can create a audio cd image really fast or a way to make Sonicstage convert it to ATRAC3 and make it work.
