Hi, Im planning to buy a MZ-RH910 and wanted to know what is the playback time of the MD without the External "AA" Dry Battery Case (-> only the NH-14WM battery). And what is the battery life -> how much time i can recharge the battery before replacing it. THANKS A LOT! love the forum. Edit: In the subtitled it was supposed to say: All i ever find on websites is: "Up to 34.5 Hours continuous playback with Rechargeable Battery and one "AA" battery" which didnt fit.

So... anybody? Are the RH910 and NH700 identical except for the battery? (i read something about the RH910 being 2nd generation and the NH700 not, what does it mean?) And is there a shop in NY city in which i can buy them? PLEASE i need help TANKS!

Do yo mean that the RH910 and the NH700 are identical except fot the battery? ive been reading about the MH700 and ive noticed that it doesnt have some audio posibilities that other MDs have but i cuoldnt compare it face to face with the RH700 Comparison Table

The thing is that concerning a MD i think i still prefer the mz-rh910. After reading rh910 and mh-700 the only diferences that i notice are battery and that the mz-rh910 doesnt have ac-adapter connection (did i get this right?) if these are the only diferences i might consider buying the mh-700. (dont know why i still think that the mz-rh910 has better audio quality, must be that ive been reading about it for quite some time) Concerning batteries (MD or not MD batteries), is there a way to buy them from another manufaturer. Lets say that MD and all its accesiories are put off the market, is there anyway in which i can buy a new MD battery (maybe a compatible cellular battery or something?). The thing is that my biggest doubt is MD or not MD?, is there a good recorder other from the minidisc (i know its not the smartest thing to ask this in a md forum, but im desperate), lets say something similar to the u3, but with better recording capabilities? THANKS

Hi, I used to have a mz-r500 minidisc but i lost it, (yes i literally lost it and ive lost all hope in finding it). So im now determined to buy another player/recoder. Ive been searching for quite some time for a recorder/player thats exactly what I need. I had reached to the conclusion that the Sony MZ-RH910 was what I wanted. But Im now having lots of second thoughts. Minidscs may be discontinued, Sonicstage is hard to use, i may find it hard to buy a batery when my md's battery dies. The list goes on Nevertheless i still thought that md's excelent recording capabilities and atrac3's awsome sound made up for these downpoints. Until ive seen that some harddrive and flash players also have recoring capabilites. such as: u3 What i want is the unit to have great audio quality, great recording quality(im a musician), ability to up/download from a PC. I dont really know what to do, I love MDs and some of my old recordings are on MD but they are on the prosses of dying and i dont want to be tied to a dying technology. Help what is the best player/recorder for me?

Ive already started building it, i'll post a Do It Yourself with photos, should i post it in this thread or in a new one? Also, im planning to do it as compact as possible, but i dont have hot melt glue, any glue will do? Thanks

Thanx a lot. Just to be sure, can you tell me if this will record quiet things, a human voice for example?

So.. pretty much what you're telling me is that i need a preamp.... as im too cheap to buy a new MD or to buy a preamp... ive found a diagram to build a preamp for electret mics... can you tell me if it will work for the md?

Ok thanx, but still i dont feel like spending $100 just to record myself. As i said I was planning to build the battery box, which would only cost me a few bucks. Yet you tell my that my recording will probably be very quiet. Is there any way in which i can make them louder, like for example, building a battery box with 2 batterys instead of one? i dont really care about the noise y just want to record something i can hear, without having to use my pc's crappy sound card.

Thanks greenmachine, but i really cant buy a new MD. So what i still dont know is: -Is it the mic's problem or the MD's problem that when i plug in a mic it doesnt record anything at all? -Why could i record the guitar but couldnt the mic? -Do i really need two mics, cant i just use a mono mic? -I will be recording in the normal loudness range... what should I do?(considering i cant buy a new MD).

Hi, I own a MZ-R500, and I have recorded my electric guitar directly to the minidisk with no problem for a long time. But now i've tried to record using a mic and it records no sound at all. I've used a common computer mic, but i thought it was the mic's problem becouse i couldn't use the mic in my stereo. The problem is that now i've bought a normal mic, that works on my stereo, but it still doesnt record to my MD. I've been doing some reading on the site and ive found that my md only has a line in (no mic in) so i'm now doubting wether i should give external power to the mic using a batery as it is shown here . But i dont know if my mic is electret and I dont know if this only applies to stereo microphones. Any help will be much apreciated.
