[Help All Minidisc are Blank after Recording]

Edit if it's hardware, 99% of the time it's the actual ribbon cable, so a cleaning disc won't help (I'm not reven sure if those clean the recording heads anyway).

There is a thread around here somewhere detailing how to repair the ribbon cable... I'll see if I can find it.

Is the ribbon cable the USB cable

because i have problem with it

sometimes it detect MD when pluggin in sometimes not

could be that cable make the problem when recording?

[Help All Minidisc are Blank after Recording]

Can i get a Cleaning -MD and try clean the MD unit

maybe it can extend the lifetime just a bit

I dont want to repair it probaly be expensive

I might get a temporary solution by buying some Low-budget new Net-MD

older models that they have left over or stock at a sony store

[Help All Minidisc are Blank after Recording]

The problem still persist but i can record disk

If i start record an album of 12 Songs after recording i get Blank disc

(after MD has been removed and reinserted into the unit)

BUt then if I just transfer one song then remove the Md

it will play that song fine

I then can drag the rest of the songs of the album to the MD that had the one song

and it will then transfer fine and work

Could this has something to do with the "Start" and "END" recording of a MD?

[Help All Minidisc are Blank after Recording]

Everytime i do a Recording now with my Nz-n910 net md

the Minidisc show Blank disc

I using the latest sonicstage for Vista and havent had a problem with it on vista before

Sonicstage show all tracks are transfered correctly

Songs show up on the right side on the software and on the player while plugged in

i can also play the song with player plugged into pc and sonictage

and hear the music come out of headphones plugged in player

Now, here comes the problem

When i plug out the player

And try to play the songs i recorded Player now says "Blank Disc"

i also think that i dont can see the Toc edit message at all

I then plug in the player again and the PC freezes (this almost never happen is a new laptop)

happened once....

Sometimes:

- The songs recent recorded wont play with the MD plugged into sonicstage either

then it make a spinning sound

- The songs transfer fine and play fine without blank disc error <---- IM testing this now

ALL old MD that i recorded previous this problem

are working perfectly

UPDATE:

Now i transfered 2 tracks

but the rest of the album wont play

the songs however show up on the right in sonicstage and on the player

just wont play

[Keep MDs Alive!]

The reason why Sony or anyone else dont promote the MD now is that the marked share in Japan

is too low to get any profit on it at all (I do agree they should have promoted it better before)

As for blanks the Marked share are almost non existant now (not only MD but all the recording media industry including CD are suffering, only some DVD and Flash cards get good profit i read often on MMIS)

MD has gone from being Mainstream to PRO meaning you wont get MD in any store as before

people in some TV studios etc... are still using Minidisc as recording devices so it is sitll a Marked for MD but it is not mainstream any longer and as much we will like it it will never be again

The fun part with MD was that something new was released every year (MD units, blanks ....)

today most of this is gone, we only have what has been released

this make it not so fun as before

I dont think we should blame Mp3 players or people marked preferences

The truth is that Sony has not done good enough efort (marketing/price reduction/open softwares..) to make the MD be a Lang lasting hit except of true MD lovers, unfortunaly that is no longer the mass marked

and therefor not give any useful profit to the Makers of MD is now more of a Niche marked which Sony and some others

still do because they dont loose money , but they dont make profit of it either (this can soon change)

As much as we would like it MD is no longer being made focused on the usual Young people wanting "music on the Move"

RH1 was made mostly for the PRO marked (TV studio records , voice recording etc...)

Portable music has been 90% part of my 30 years old life.

and without portable music my intress in music would never be so high.

I gone through the phase of Casette walkman >>> Discman >> minidisc >> and now into more Mp3 players

Even if .mp3 files have lesser quality of what we was used to are they so easy to get on the internet

is great to get a release same day is released and not have to wait for a shop to get the CD.

Now NETMD was great (i still do NETMD recordings)

I never realy got into the Hi-MD thing (not just yet) and it didnt proved sucessfull atleast not as much as NETMD and MD

I recent got my self a Samsung P2 touch screen player and i am in heaven.

I do love the fact of using my NETMD and having lot of cool blanks with me in the pocket

but having a solid and trustful mp3 player (like samsung) with lot on songs on (320kbps bitrates)

lot of Movies and be able to see the Album art while listening to the song + the cool touch screen sensation

Just go Ahead over the Excelent feeling of Having a MD with many cool blanks.

Most of us that buyed MD the first time did so because it was a "New" technology

everyone was using CD or TAPE and we was way ahead with our MD

remember when you told you friend it was Smaler than his Discman and Better quality than his tapes.

in conclusion "Nothing" could compete with MD.

Sadly this is no longer the Cause as Multimedia Mobile phones and mp3 players

now is both smaler and chaper than MD.

And the Other "NEW" thing on the marked is the new trend of Watching Musicvideos (something i always wanted)

and together with the Touch screens this take us a step forward into the "NEW" gadgets we enjoy.

I do feel like getting a Hi-MD (special RH10) but.....

the price is so high and is not easy to get (only RH1 in my country)

And having all those cool Gadgets mp3 players with touch screen make me believe

i will not use MD as often as them.

NOW.......

I probaly doomed the Portable Marked in favour of "high quality" mp3 players (like samsung)

BUT....

I still see MD very good for Backup your music collection and buying a NETMD deck i would like

I no longer Record music from CD or Radio everything i do is MP3 and this has improved my life.

I have known artist i never would have known if "downloading" havent existed.

I therefor see Mp3 players Vs MD as a lost cause since is realy no point

in getting around searching for a Expensive MD player that wont play Music videos on the move (i know i am addicted to videos now ) or having such a stylish design as many mp3 players now (Except RH10 which look cool)

If it was more easy to get HI-MD decks and they was not so expensive i would probaly get one now

as they are realy good sound in them.

I still Collect MD blanks but the Lack of New release of blanks is a real pain

Nothing new realy to look forward too.

MD is no longer the "New kid in the block" the kid have grown up and get old

and sadly almost forgotten.

MD is per today the best Portable Recording media with stable lasting Blanks and good quality software

but the still high price, the difficulties in getting MD and that the MD now has halted not evolving anymore

make me favour mp3 player for street use.

Atleast with a mp3 player i can watch "music videos" (Sometimes you enjoy more watching a song)

"Bluetooth" (I always wished for wireless headphones samsung mp3 players has this)

Wallpapers (big screen mp3 players has this) and the cool touch screen.

But... I miss something from MD:

With MD i could "Edit" a song on the fly anywhere arange the order of the song and even Delete a song

without conecting it to a PC, this is not possible with my Mp3 players

Still in All this and even if Sony Refuse to continue to develop on the minidisc

is good to have a MD community.

As for Mp3 players/hardisk crash thing i do agree.

but i back up all my songs on DVD and update the DVD several times a year

+ not owning just one mp3 player make me always have the same songs even some mp3 player stop working.

Im also investing in a external hardrive meaning i should be safe

AND... i do backup all Artist on MD just to be extra safe

I am waiting to see if Sony release something in 2008 before i buy more MD.

[HiMD future without Sonic Stage?]

I was thinking about getting a MZ-Rh10 before end of 2007

but considering Sonicstage is Ending (maybe be updating a bit but not last forever)

Does this means RH 1 is the only one that will work if Sonicstage ends?

or is sonicstage still needed for RH1 too?

In anycase maybe this means Sony will release some MDs like drag and drop

or something.....

I think is in October or November The 15th Aniversary of Minidisc

if sony Ever will release more Mds we will know very soon (actualy we should have know by now but it can be

aniversary editions anouncement comes later)

Actually i would have get an RH1 if it wasnt that the unit dosnt display the Names

i dont like carry the remote with me always and Long time ago i finished writing the song names on the Md cards

So hope Sony comes up with something better

Maybe a Color screen Minidisc or something with a big touch screen like iphone

if it was expensive i would buy it

as long as quality is top.

Until then i probaly go import a Rh10

[Intenso Minidisc anyone ?]

Is a Top quality Media producer since 1998 from Germany

http://www.intenso.de/?chglang=EN

[Intenso Minidisc anyone ?]

I was browsing the oldnews gallery at Minidisc.org

and came across someone pointing out Minidisc blanks by Intenso.

Beeing the Mdblank geek i am i was surprised since i never heard intenso producing Minidiscs.

I contacted Intenso to confirm this and surprisingly got an confirmation

that Intenso made MD 4 years ago.

unfortunaly they had no pictures of it but it was sold in a 5MD slimcase.

Does anyone Has Or know where Intenso MD is sold

or has some photos they can show of.

Probaly is very rare but Intenso itself was known for being the first company

starting selling Cd in spindles (after what i read)

I been googling for days but cant find any reference to Intenso MD

except for the oldnews on minidisc.org that point to a part on the intenso.de website that no exist longer (md page)

and the confirmation i got by intenso on email.

any help is realy aprecitated.

[Imation has acquired TDK]

Earlier this year Imation anounce That Tdk had agreed in a Acquision by Imation

Now Is done.

"Imation Closes Acquisition of TDK Brand Recording Media Business for Approximately $260 Million in Stock and Cash"

Highlights of the completed transaction include the following:

- Imation purchased a combination of assets and stock of TDK's recording media business and use of the TDK brand name for current and future recording media products including magnetic tape, optical media, flash media and accessories.

-The TDK brand recording media business operates globally, with major operations in Japan, Europe, the United States, and throughout the Asia Pacific region. A total of approximately 350 TDK employees in the recording media business have transferred to Imation and an additional number of employees will provide transitional services for a period of time. An integration team is assessing the future requirements for the combined business.

- The transaction includes a Supply Agreement providing uninterrupted and continuing supply of TDK brand products to the market. TDK will retain R&D and manufacturing operations for recording media products including audio, video and data storage tape, and Blu-ray optical discs. TDK will supply TDK brand products to Imation as well as non-TDK brand products to its other OEM customers.

-Under terms of the agreement, Imation has a long-term right to use of the TDK brand for current and future recordable magnetic, optical, flash media and accessory products globally. That right is revocable by TDK after 25 years, with a one year wind down. The transaction includes a Supply Agreement for TDK branded magnetic tape products, to include data storage, audio and video tape cartridges.

http://ir.imation.com/phoenix.zhtml...4418&highlight=

Comments:

So what does this means for us Minidisc user?

It means that All TDK Minidisc and other tdk products will continue to be made by TDK

but Distribuited and owned by Imation.

It also mean that Imation has the right to sugest and do changes

Will we see Imation Minidisc?, with time we will see.

Another theory (of mine) is that Memorex Minidisc may not be dead

right now Memorex usa is selling out the stock they have Memorex usa MD is made by Hispace in mpo france.

Hispace france went bankrupt (not mpo) meaning either Memorex stop with minidisc or Tdk make them for memorex.

So Maybe Memorex will get New minidisc made by TDK Now that Imation own both.

Now, dont count on this but it can happen.

I still think TDK will continue with minidisc atleast in Europe and Japan.

I was told by TDK japan that they had no plan for New minidisc as of 2007

this seem logical since TDK is being transfered to their new leadership

Mainfactory of Imation Asia is in Hong kong, but i believe the Factory of TDK in japan will continue

their production but come under leadership of Imation hong kong.

If someone from TDK,Memorex or Imation read this

My wish For The Future is:

1. Tdk will continue to Make Minidisc and other Tdk products.

2. Imation should make Color minidisc

3. New Memorex Minidisc made by TDK factory in a cool design.

Maybe not everyone like this acquisition news or like imation but the fact is atleast that Imation is a big well known brand

is not a smale unknown company in taiwan so atleast Tdk has tried do something good.

the thing is how will the japanesee like this, Tdk has always been considered a japanesee brand

they may feel is getting eaten by american industry.

[Maxell europe End MD production]

Sony discontinued it superior CD-IT tape years ago, but still manufactures the inferior normal bias (Type I) HF blank tapes.

As for minidisc, Sony is still coming out with (but in scarce quantities) their Premium Gold series MD blanks and is also still producing HMD1GL (blue, second generation) blank Hi-MDs, but, you have to get them online, I recommend eBay, MiniDisco, or MiniDisc Access for availability of both blanks and MD-oriented accessories.

Sony Cd it II is back in production acording someone i talked with in sony.

The availability of minidisc blanks is petering out over here. Stores such as Yodobashi, Bic, Ishimaru, etc...that dedicated shelves to discs are now dedicating a shelf to the medium. Axia got out the disc market nearly two years ago, and both Victor and Sony haven't released any new sets in two years. TDK, which use to release new sets three times a year hasn't had a release since summer of 2006 with the WA series. Maxell hasn't released anything after the metal shuttered Twinkles, plains, and Coulers which came out the same month as the TDK WA's. I think we will be stuck with only Saehan products and maybe Daiso products from now on. I like the Daiso stuff but Saehan doesn't satisfy...

I talked with Tdk Japan they say NO plan for new MDs in 2007/2008 period

Victor Japan promised me that Soon there be new Md (Victor AR 2007 maybe?)

But considering the economic struggles victor is going through (is going to be sold to another company in near future)

i would not count on Victor releasing anything in 2007 but maybe....

As for Sony nothing new since 2004 (Except for the more limited Basic Md)

an upgrade in Bianca would have been nice .

Cmex still produce Primemedia and Avox md and has no plan stopping.

As for Maxell Japan i dont know but their MD line has already been updated in 2006.

so next update should come from either Sony or Victor (jvc japan)

Panasonic japan is still selling Md (but thats probaly just left over)

I dont know about Aeon shopping stores in japan

if they still sell Topvalu Mds. (somebody can find out?)

also in late 2006 Cando stores was still selling Sunny Tech md

so sunny taiwan may still be producing md.

Finaly as for Saehan i think they still will produce md

but only Natural wave (if they just could update the design a bit)

Daiso is also still in busniess

but havent released nothing new for sometimes now

anyone know if theres something new from daiso?

Ok this was only about japan

in europe theres still many that manufacture minidiscs:

Bestmedia, Fuji europe , HHB uk, Sony , Tdk and TNB france.

but is mostly Sony and Tdk Md that are found in shops.

[Maxell europe End MD production]

Maxell has also amazingly ended production of the XL-II cassette tape. Actually, it was discontinued quite many months ago. All remaining product in stores is just left-over production stock.

Minidiscs and cassettes are completely dead.

Yes XLII was discontinued in 2006 but UR tape will still be produced.

[Maxell europe End MD production]

I got this confirmation today from Maxell europe

Production of Minidisc has ended as of March 2007

They will sell out the Minidiscs they have and then no more.

Maxell Minidisc (those with metal shutters) will still be sold in Japan.

It reminds to be seen what Tdk europe does they promised to continue with Minidisc

But as you probaly already know IMATION is buying TDK from autumn 2007

meaning this decision can depend not only on Tdk but on Imation.

(would be cool to see imation MD media )

But is sad to see Maxell Minidisc disapear in Europe.

Note: Would be good to have a forum for information on blank media.

[Is Sony N10 any good?]

OK i have a Mz-N910 with a non working remote

and some weird button problems, When i press a button something else happen

Say i press Volume and instead it change song or i click Rename in Edit and it ask me if i want to delete

Seem like some bad conection in the component because this error is caused by button having become over sensative.

It probaly be expensive to repair.

So my question should i atempt repair Mz-N910 or go for a N10 instead

is N10 better than N910 and what is better or worse with N10 compared to Mz-N910

I can get a N10 new in Sony offical shop for 190 euro on sale.

I realy like to get a MZ-Rh10 but is discontinued here so is not easy to get.

and importing it will increase the Postage cost.

Any suggestion

Meanwhile i am using mostly my mp3 player

since the buttons problem on my md bother me a bit

[MZ-RH1 removed from Sony Style USA Website]

I checked sonystyle usa And Now there is No Option for "Minidisc" anymore. (Except for that deck component)

In Sonyspain seem they only have MZ-RH1 Hi-md walkman and have removed all other Minidisc

(I will call Sony spain later today to get confirmation)

http://www.sony.es/view/ShowProduct.action...+Net+MD+Walkman

Seem like Sony want to focus fully on their New Mp3 line.

In the European SonyStyle No trace of any Minidisc either

https://www.sonystyle-europe.com/

Since Sonystyle is not that important they selling just whats most popular

I checked Sony-Europe webside

Headquarter Germany

And Surprise Many MD walkman still avaible like the RH10 :

http://www.sony.de/view/ShowProductCategor...+Net+MD+Walkman

BUT it seem this is only in Sony germany

Both Spain and UK only seem to have RH1

Sony uk minidisc:

http://www.sony.es/view/ShowProduct.action...+Net+MD+Walkman

Seem like RH1 will be the only MD walkman for sale in europe soon.

except in Germany.

In Japan This are the MD being sold now:

http://www.ecat.sony.co.jp/walkman/lineup.cfm?Series=MD

I couldnt find mention about MD on the Sonystyle japan website (but didnt search extended)

I will let you know what Sony spain tell me about Minidisc soon

As for Me I still Use Minidisc (but havent got into Hi-md yet)

I am very happy with my Samsung mp3 player in both quality and design:

And i am waiting for the New Samsung mp3 player with Color gui:

http://aving.net/usa/news/default.asp?mode...01&SP_Num=0

but I am still considering to get into Hi-md But the RH1 dont apeal to me

since i dont use remotes and cant see trackname on display

meaning i will have to write tracksongs on Index card which i never doo so a lot of work.

RH10 apeal to me but if is now impossible to get in spain then thats another obstacle.

Spains biggest shopping mall eshop have also removed all traces of minidisc.

At Fnac (spains second biggest shopping mall a french one ) i found RH1 atleast

Ok i will Call sony now to find out about minidisc

[Sony MD | Basic]

Surprise me Daiso is selling Sony Mds

does this means Daiso will quit Minidisc i surely hope not daiso made some cool minidisc

i want more Daiso 2007 Minidisc, come on daiso make some more

[Koss Cobalt Wireless]

Anyone tried them?

http://www.koss.com/koss/kossweb.nsf/Cobalt

Seem that it work with computer , bluetooth phones and Mp3 players.

I am so tired of wires breaking on headphones

but so far a reliable good sounding wireless for mp3 players has been nonexistant. (i think sony has something but dont think sound good)

But now Koss release Cobalt.

a behind the neck headphones (dont look too big either which is good)

Only plug a Usb-device on back of your computer and your headphones

work, or plug a device on mp3 player (probaly work with Md player too?)

and headphone work.

My question is :

1. How is the sound of this headphone

2. Can ambient sound (cars, people, other mobile phonets etc..)

intefere much with bluetooth signals?

3. Will this work with Samsung mp3 players and Minidisc players?

[Spyware on Sony Websites?]

This was supose to be posted in News section but i was unable to create a thread there.

Today when Scanning with Ewido antispyware i found traces of Spywares that was tracked back to Sony websites.

although i guess they are not entirely spywares being Tracking cookies they also worry me.

This is what i just cleaned:

@sonyeurope.112.2o7[1].txt -> TrackingCookie.2o7

@sonymarketingjp.112.2o7[1].txt -> TrackingCookie.2o7

I googled and found that many had it cleaned from a log

but there was no detailed info about what this Cookie does.

If is realy is some sort of spyware then is realy bad move from Sony

although i guess is not entirely a spyware but i wonder what this cookie does

because it is a "trackingcookies" so surely it is tracking you

I do know most websites install cookies on your pc

but most Cookies i had cleaned with anti-spywares has been advertising cookies from non-searious companies

This is the First time i get a tracking cookie from a searious company.

Anyone can confirm this and what this cookie does?

[News regarding new Hi-MD models. Has anyone heard anything?]

as i have said since 2006 It is expected Sony to release a special Hi-md or/And Net-md to celebrate the 15Th Anniversary of minidisc 1992-2007= 15 years

If sony are going to release another Hi-md ever it will defently be this year and it will be a Special anniversary modell so i am expecting something special.

And even if Sony wants to Quit minidisc they may still release special 15th Aniversary modell this year before it.

Of course there is nothing official of this yet but considering is 15th anniversary of minidisc is my guess Sony will do something at least they should.

[My headphones broke, What new ones should i get?]

I know I'm repeating myself but if you don't give the Sony MDR-7506 a chance you are making a mistake.

No way i am not walking on the street with those huge headphones

[My headphones broke, What new ones should i get?]

If i were you i would buy another set of ksc75 for backup and get yours fixed, or portapros are nice also bit more bass than ksc75 though.

I own both Ksc-35 and ksc-75 and prefer Ksc-35 over 75

but yea they not so compfy.

I maybe could get another Ksc-35 if i found for a cheap price

or i could go for Sennheiser Px100

Anyone know if the Sennheiser Pxm100 sound as good as the Px100?

or should i just stop thinking about the Pxm?

[My headphones broke, What new ones should i get?]

My Ksc-75 broke for the same reason as my headphones use to break

after about 6 months or so one of the channel stop working (Except if you move cable a bit)

I suffered this headphone problem all my life , maybe thats why i hate headphone cables,

Please someone release good wireless headphones for Md/mp3 players

I also have a Ksc-35 but i have been using it some months now.

So i plan to get Ksc-75 repaired on warranty and then meanwhile buy a Extra Headphone

I realy loved the Ksc-35 sound i dont know if i could live without a poorer sound

but i can live with a better sound

I been considering a bit what headphone i should get

I have a Black Samsung yp-k5 mp3 player (one with speakers) and a Blue Sony Net-md player

First i though about maybe Earphone is best since is so popular

but after reading headphone.com I understand that earphone are just popular because they cheap thats all.

(except if they are ECHs in canal phones)

But do i need a earphone i dont know?

i already have one that came with my Samsung Yp-k5 not the best thats it

but is better than cheaper ipod or Sony mindisc headphones.

Ok so The most famous Earphone is Sony E888 it look ok and probaly sound good

better than Koss ksc-35 i dont know?

But acording Headphone.com Sennheiser Mx350 is better (But sony look nicer):

Then there is ECHs which is the best you can get

but Hey i have never used ECHs how will my earcanal liked it

and whats worst My Wallet dont like ECHs prices

Except for maybe Ultimate Ears super.fi 3 studio

but still a bit pricey for me.

but for being ECHs they great:

When talking Clip-ons

there is just 2 good chooses here

Koss Ksc-35 and 75 which i already have.

Ksc-35 is the best sound i have ever heard

but they painful on the ear after 1 hour.

Now considering my Headphone problems

having the Wirecable broke usually after 5-6 months

maybe i need Streetstyle?

ticker cable?

Sony normaly last 2 years for me

and there is this G74 i maybe can get in local store:

But Headphone.com dont recomend it

they prefer Sennheiser Pmx 100:

or Sennheiser Pmx200:

Sennheiser Px100 is also pretty

but Do i love having the headphone over head

NOOOOOOOOO cos it corrupt my hairstyle

So what should i get

I still will have the Koss

but i need another , oh and i dont like Koss porta pro too Big and ugly.

Condition are:

- Sound as good or better than Koss ksc-35

- Last more than 6 months

- Good for Rock and Jazz music at max volume with my mp3/Md player

- Must be foldable (exception are earphone and clip-on ofcourse)

- Not be too pricey.

Any recomendation

[Future of Minidisc]

Whoa Nellie! While I agree with you on most of your points, you clearly have never owned an iPod - they are most certainly NOT drag and drop. Neither are any optical media such as CD/DVD-ROM. The US media cartel would never allow that. You will always need specialized software, i.e. iTunes and Nero etc. respectively to enable music (not data) storage and to (theoretically) prevent unauthorized copying. Some cheaper flash recorders do allow drag and drop, but make terrible players.

I Use Net-Minidisc but i also have Mp3 player

Mp3 players ARE drag and drop , sure you may be right about iPOD (i havent used ipod myself so i dont know)

what i do know is that there is a bunch of other mp3 players that ALLOW drag and drop.

My Mp3 player is the wonderful Samsung Yp-k5 (the one with the speaker and touchbuttons) and is FAR from a terrible player

Samsung Comes with software but it also show up as a Drive and you can drag and drop the music WITHOUT using the software

this is much better than Minidisc since you dont have to use software.

The only disadvantage i see with mp3 players compared to minidisc is that you have to use a Program to rename the Idtags.

some mp3 players (like mine) you have to rename idtag on some mp3s so that it show up in the correct Artist-track order

since the mp3 player sort artist and track after the idtag in each mp3 song.

This is solved by used a software to rename idtag and sort them in correct order before Drag & drop songs to mp3 player.

You are probaly aware of that ipod is not totaly drag & drop (as i said i dont know have not used ipod)

But When you say "some cheaper flash recorder do allow drag and drop but make terrible player" I must point out you are wrong

First my samsung 4gb yp-k5 player was not cheap, the Surface with touchbuttons are Anti-scratch protected

the mp3 player is also build like a Tank , the speaker is terrific is realy loud for being such a smale speaker.

and the Volume on the samsung mp3 player is LOUDER than my Net-minidisc player (which suffer from European sound limitation laws)

Also Samsung is far from bad, in fact the Sister company "Saehan" was the Inventor of mp3 player (mpman was the first mp3 player ever)

so samsung do have a lot of experience with mp3 players.

But ofcourse there is many BAD mp3 players that come with CHEAP and BAD headphones (Such as the headphone included with ipod)

but this not mean everthing but ipod is Terrible
