i just want it like the new mac software (but for PC), drag from the MD window to the desktop and auto convert to a .WAV file ... couldnt be easier if u use the MD for recording and laying that audio over some video footage... (all the new High Def handycams record there audio in a compressed Mpeg2 format.. and HI MD shits all over it!)

3 things... easy. *Drag and drop too AND from pc's AND macs *Also get rid of the LI-ON battery bring back the NIMH "gumstick style" so you can put on a AA battery if you do lots of field recording. *and put a 100-240v power supply in there so you can RUN the minidisc from anything but the internal battery! atleast this gives them somewhere to go with a new model (and they will get the sale too!) long live MD -Broox

no doubt it will cahrge it.. i want to build something that will aallow me to use it in the field not relying on the lithium battery.. i want mega field power. but unsure if it will allow the rh1 to be on & use power from the aa batts. guess i can guinna pig myself... not too expensive to build. cool...

does this only charge the mzrh1 or run it also? ty

yeah that usb thing was one of the first things i noticed too... o/t hey any one worked out how to rig up a bunch of batteries and usb connector to power this bessie while im out in the "field" and away from 240v... i remember some talk of this a whle back someone saying it wasgonna b easy...? any help muchly appreciated Broox (cant stop grinning like a fool!)

the RH1 are onsale and booming in Australia ! i only know of 2 mzrh1 retailers in the whole of australia but there must be more... any way the ones i know of are, Video World - The Sony Shop on Rundle St, Adelaide, SA and minidisc.com.au - an online retailer hope this helps any aussies out there (oo and they are BLACK!!) luv Broox

hey everyone i got my rh1 yesterday!! man its soooo light and sexy too... To clear up something re the supplied remote... it is the RM-MC38EL (black in colour and backlit)i am stoked! still a bit dissapointed bout it not having the extra dry cell batt pack, but I will live for now. thanx for all the info on these forums. regards Broox

Called them thismorning, strait up got told $465 with a 1gb disk! and i can pick one up tues 4 july! finally put my money down ... not even 2 weeks to go, man i've been waiting years for this unit cheers to these forums for all the info on the RH1 - hope it stays in production 4 a very long time! Broox (i'll let u know how sexy it really is when i finally get my mits on one! mmm black... shiny...)

i guess thats there all the time price, not just preorders... everybody likes to get the best price, i'll give them a call. and haggling is fun, lol !

Also Video World in Adelaide are offering preorders... No final price on their website (room for haggling?) I've rung them and got them down from $599 to $490 with a bonus 1gb disc. See what you can get done for you (mention the minidisc community forums - it cant hurt). all their details are on their Website People have been caught out before with imported units having to be sent back overseas (at their cost) for any warranty work. All these units come with a full 12 mth warranty serviced by Sony Australia in any Australian capital city. Stock due July 1. Cheers Broox

just quickly the sydney market for electronics is not as competetive as in adelaide, i recon the main contributor to this is that it is very easy to drive to the other side of town for a bargain. Adelaide can be much cheaper. thats my 2c worth broox RH1 in australia 6 july. (maybe earlier!) wanna buy it from a propper shop? PM me and i'll point u in the rite direction. garunteed under $550 au. i recon the first shipment is going pretty fast. Happy Hunting! Broox

Lads,similar issues... got a RH910 (US Version - i live in Australia.) with any other HIMD / Flash or HDD walkman SS works fine, as soon as i plug the RH910 in it makes the right sounds "dong dong" (u get the idea) but is not recognised by windows at all... so i go into device manager right click on the usb thing with the yellow (!) mark,, scan hardware changes... nothing... then i reinstall driver, and get this message........ "The correct driver has been installed. You do not need to install this driver again." ---- ... any help would be awesome! cheers

cant wait 4 the software, hope its good n easy - hey maybe they'v inproved SS a little! cheers 2 all that make this happen!

can anyone get me a copy of the software that comes with the rh1? pm me, work out a get it, torrent etc...

ok, maybe the math dosent work, if it does get there i hope 4 u its cheaper than here in oz.

yep, but us convicts get penalised like that.. some math: Australia population 20 Million US population 250 Million maybe 5%of the population would purchase a unit... i failed math, u get the idea... they make the money where they can. and there may always be a price drop again!

Quick update if anyone in Australia was wondering... NEW PRICING ON RH1. no longer a $699 Retail NOW $599 = full retail, haggling etc.. from there. PM me if u dont have a good Aussie HI-MD Dealer and want some details.

dunno if anyone has posted this lil announcement but : pricing for the RH1 in Australia has been revised and announced it was thout to have been a $699 retail NOW IS CONFIRMED AT Au$599 there is an Adelaide based retailer putting together a waiting list for these units... if u want the details PM me, then contact the store. minidisc forums rocks

if your in australia pm me and i'll put u onto a good crowd, minidisc specialists since the start.

yeah i'm real keen for a proper english review on the rh1 also. i work in a sony shop and its always great to get this info b4 MR SONY can tell us any details! hope its soon!

how long will the eng review take to come out? maybe one week? less more... im eager! cheers, broox edit - i just read last post properly... stupid me!

the main thing is that the product has been [bconfirmed by sony! i dont care if the unit is late, the main thing is that himd is finally coming back to aus!
