  1. Check out an article at the NY Times on a concertgoer who records the intermissions, not the concerts with is MD recorder. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/30/arts/mus...amp;oref=slogin
  2. It's the end of an era: Sony's removed the MDS-JA333ES from their Hi-Fi page at: http://www.ecat.sony.co.jp/AV-HiFi/product...cfm?category=MD I checked this page just a few weeks ago and it was still listed, and the Hi-Fi PDF Catalogue from the japanese web site at: http://www.ecat.sony.co.jp/pdf.cfm still has the unit listed, but the catalogue is dated July 2006. Unless we see an announcement soon for a JA or JB level Hi-MD Deck, I think we will never see one. Is there anything more constructive we can do, beside discuss here, to motivate Sony to produce a Deck for us? (Car, Home, Rack-Mount, anything will do.) Hrumph, Andre.
  3. Ran out today to the local SonyStore who just happened to have two. That's kind of odd since SonyStyle.ca doesn't even list the unit yet. I got mine fresh in the box and am quite satisfied with it, although the Macintosh support is no better than we already had with the M100 & M10 units--quite a shame they didn't add simple downloading to disk so I could put audio onto the unit quickly...
  4. This sure is great news. I hope there will be a Hi-MD deck soon. Sony only needs to make one model: a high-end USB 2.0 with tray loading, timer, SF edit & etc--essentially an updated MDS-JA333ES. Charge me anything under $1,500CDN and I WILL purchase it. As good as this news is, here in Canada it's as if we're on some remote planet. For the last several years we have not been able to purchase an MD deck, not even the E series units are available. (See sonystyle.ca) I can afford to purchase and power-supply-fix an MDS-JB980QS if I could get one from mp3-player.de but they refuse to ship to Canada. My MZ-RH10 was bought as a special order item in Toronto. I have yet to see one stocked anywhere in Canada, not even the SonyStore has one! I've talked with my contact at the SonyStore in Burlington, Ontario, asking him if he could get me an MD deck through his contacts at Sony, and finds no help. Sony: Every consumer electronics item in my home is bought from your company (apart from a JVC DVHS deck I got for cheap last summer) I have several walkmans, 2 VHS VCR's an SVHS VCR, three receivers and two TV's, including the latest BRAVIA XBR & etc. You've got the market cornered as far as I'm concerned and I am eager for more. Would you please bring a deck here for me to buy? Here's dedication: I use SonicStage on my Mac under Virtual PC--burns a CD in about 8 times as long as it takes to listen to it and I've converted about 3 dozen discs so that I can load something onto my MZ-RH10. Sony, Here's An Offer: I'm a software engineer with more than 20 years experience, and have intimate knowledge of Mac OS X's HAL, CoreAudio, Cocoa, QuickTime and Carbon. I'll be happy to convert your codecs to work on the Mac so Mac users can burn MD's as well as upload to AIFF, AAC & most certainly ATRAC. You name the price and I'll do the work professionally and without delay.
