Thanks A440 you've been very helpful.

Thanks A440, the H2 seems extremely suited for what i want. Although i'm not very sure about its playback capabilities. Has anyone here had any experience with the H4? or with the iriver ifp 9xx, which is what i used to be looking before i heard of the H2. Thanks

Hi, I own a broken mz-rh910 which doesn't record. I took it to a Sony repair center and they told me the recording head (<- or however that thing is called) is broken and that Sony doesn't make them anymore. Basically telling me i'm screwed. So now im wondering what to do. I used my Minidisc for playing and recording equally and i want to buy something that can do the same that my minidisc, but that is still in production. Although, if there is someway that i can find that recording head, that would be nice too. So in conclusion: Does anybody know about a good mp3 recorder or somewhere where i can find minidisc parts? Thanks! Edit: Concerning mp3 players i was looking for a flash player

Ok i think ill call them first, to get an estimate or something. This sucks i expected a better built product from sony, they've realy let me down.

Sory for the delay. Can you tell me why? Thanx

Hi, i bought a MZ-Rh910 a few months ago, and well it doesnt record anymore. One day, all of a sudden, with no warning, out of the blue... it just stopped recording! It plays but it doesnt record (I record something normally and when i press stop it stays eternally showing a "Recording to MD"esque message) . So i took it to Sony, thinking that it had to be a problem with the lens, and that it would be pretty easy to fix. And no, they tell me its a problem with the processor and that it could cost me 150 dollars IF they manage to find a new processor. I dont know what to do. I live in Uruguay and i bought this in the USA, so dont know if the guarantee is valid or not. Any recomendations? Thanx in advance!

Hi, Until this day ive only transfered CDs to my MD, but im starting to transfer Mp3 too, so i wanted to know how you people listen to them. And i had one question, is there any sense in transfering a 128kbps mp3 to 256 atrac? or should i just use 128 atrac or inferior? I'm quite clueless when it comes to kb/s. Well, i'll start. I listen to both CDs and Mp3s in atrac 256 (hisp)

I thought it was really expensive, nice to know its cheap. Anyways I couldnt wait, so i tryied using a regular "school" glue (the kind you used at school to make collages and that sort of things) and worked great, i took special care not to let any glue inside the input jack. Tested it and works like a charm.

Thanks, i'll have to take my chances. I'll post the results... The real reason why i couldnt get any hot melt glue is economical, it just seemed a waste of time/money to buy a hot mel glue gun, and a "cartridge" for it just to use a little bit on my Battery Box. Although I'm having second thoughts about it, how much does a hot melt gun plus the "cartridge" for it cost?

Thanks your methods worked perfectly... now im the proud owner of a disk with, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, The White album, Let it Be, Abbey Road @ Hi-Sp 256...

sorry i keep insisting, but can i use any glue that i find in my house, im sorry but i just cant use hot melt glue.

the recording had finished like 15 min ago and i just unplugged the usb form the md... did i screw up?

I used Simple Burner to burn some CDs to my MZ.Nh910. It all went fine. Until i burned some other CDs onto the same MD. When i unplugged the usb from the MD (yes all PC-MD transfers had allready finished, a long time ago) and pushed play, it displayed MD unreadable and unrecordable... So i had to erase the MD... i couldnt erase it from the pc, i had to erase it manualy from the mdplayer. the only difference i can think of is that the second time i used a CD.RW instead of a normal CD.. any help? thanx

Thanks a lot A440.

Ok, but suppose i cant get any hot melt glue, could i use any glue that i find in my house?

Just built my battery box, it sounds great! Thanx greenmachine. One question. Can i use any tipe of glue for the casing?

Ok thanx greenmachine. So anybody knows if the the MZ-RH910 automaticaly stops charging when the battery is full? The thing is that a was planning to leave the battery charging trough the night, and thats going to take somewhere between 8-10 hours... much more than the 2.5 hours it needs. Edit: Also, does anyobody knows if the R500's and the RH910's adaptor have the same polarity, output voltage and deliver the same current? The R500 adaptor that i own was custom made. (I took the minidisc to a guy that only by looking at the sign next to the DC In was able to make me an adaptor, it worked just fine)

Well here it is my new HiMD player, i just cant stop looking at it. So i read the manual and am ready to use it, but some questions come to me. I just want to make sure everything is perfect before i use it. So what i wanted to know: 1-I used to own a MZR500 and stil have its AC(220V)adapter. My new MD comes with a 120V AC adapter which in my country i cant use. Should i use my old adapter or buy a new adapter to transform 220V to 120V to be able to use the adapter that comes with the player? 2-Should i do anything special the first time i charge the battery? 3-What happens if i overcharge the battery. Lets say it needs 3 hours of charging to be full but i leave it plugged for 10 hours? Will tha battery lose capacity? 4-What are clamp filters? It has one attached to the headphones' cable and a spare one. The manual says something about using them when the MD is connected to the PC. Im confused. I know im a bit of a paranoid, but the thought of harming my MD in any way just scares the hell out of me. Well thanks in advance. Edit: there is a word missing in the subtitle... "questions"

Thanks a lot! A440 you saved my life, and thanks to you im now the proud owner of a MZ-RH910. Believe me that without your help it would have been impossible to find a HiMD player in Miami.

Ive been doing some research on Compression Formats.After reading some posts here where they talk about how incredible ATRAC3 is, i wanted to know how good it really was. Obviously mi first search was at Wikipedia... Wiki I have to admint i was really dissapointed, as a former MD owner and future HiMD owner i must say i expected more. But maybe it was just that Wikipedia has something against MDs. I kept researching... Comparison table It's last on almoust every TEST!! Well, normaly i would just trust my ear, but during the short time i used my old MD i listened everything in LP4(only after losing it i realised that its the worse quality not the best available on my R500, so i know i wasnt giving my MD a chance to show it's best. So, now im going to buy a HiMD, is this new atrac3plus format better? Are all these polls wrong? I know these polls only test older Atrac but wikipedia says that new atrac isnt much better...

Hi, Im going to Miami on a trip and i need to know if there are any shops that sell Hi-MD players. I live in South America (where its impossible to find MD) and this trip is my one chance to buy a Hi-MD (Also I cant buy over the internet). So if anyoby here knows where i can get a first or second hand HiMD in Miami it will help me a lot. Thanks.

Any RH10 users knows what the RH10's battery life is without the AA?

Battery life is the same?

8 hours... this sucks.. I know they're supposedly the same but I read somewhere that the RH10 has more battery time, is it true? how much?

Thanks for answering. So.. any rh-910 users know what the battery life is?(without the AA) Is it much lower than the one of the RH10? Appart from the screen is the RH10 different from the RH910? TANKS!
