Excellent! So it would be feesable to use HiSP for simply spoken word. What about the PCM mode. There is no joit-stereo schema for that mode, did the second generation units have mono capabilities? This is all really exciting to me, especially the thought of being able to save my mp3's! -Adam

Hi everyone, A general question, maybe, not specific to the RH1. Hi-MD recorders, how do they handle MONO recordings? Can I record 64kbit Atrac3plus mono, effectivly increasing the quality, since one channel is removed. How about in Linear PCM mode? Can you double the capacity simply by recording in Mono. I remember in the orignal minidisc, before even net-md, some units had mono capabilities, effectivly allowing twice the amount of time on the disc. Sorry if this is off topic. -Adam

Wow! I can't wait to find out more! One more question, as a follow up.. I assume Variable Bitrate MP3 is also supported... -Adam

Greetings everyone, Geez, I haven't considered the minidisc format for some years, since the last time I purchased a mp3 player/recorder. But this unit really has me excited, I need those recording features. One important question though: MP3 playback. Can anyone confirm or deny the existence of the MP3 playback bug/limitation/Bull S**T? This seems to be the deal-breaker for me. If it don't playback mp3's properly, then no go. Anyone? any inside info? -Adam
