can someone please help me out i recently purchased a nh3d and a eh930 everything is great except i cant get any chinese characters to be displayed on the remotes all i see is "..." i got my ss4.0 to display chinese perfectly and transfers fine to the nh3d, so it is just a matter of getting the remote to display some chinese characters im using english winxp sp2, with the applocale app to read chinese in ss4.0 thanks

the rh1 is probably overkill for someone that doesnt really plan to record much if at all, but having the feature would be a nice to have. i think im gonna to try the Hi-MD format as it would give me a good boost in capacity. the nh-600d is definitely cheap, but the nh1 and nh3d look much nicer. thanks for suggesting a mp3 player, as i would have believed people in this forum would have a bias in favouring md players. the problem i have with most md players is that it is too small. i owned an ipod shuffle before, but it was so small, i somehow managed to drop it, which meant i also lost my pair of headphones. so unless i find a decent sized mp3 player, i think i will try md once again. thanks for the reply

i will probably wait till after the rh1 is released before buying i can always hope people wanting to upgrade are willing to sell their old ones for a good price

to begin, thanks for the reply am i correct to assume that the "severely rolled off treble" problem with mp3s only occur when mp3s are transferred to mds as is, and does not occur when transcoded? or does the problem occur when transcoding the mp3s to atrac3/plus? the music i have on my previous mds mostly came from cds and mp3s which i still have, so essentially i would just start building my md collection from scratch. if i chose to stick with non-himd, i could just purchase a cheap md recorder and continue using my panasonic mj70. the mz-nh1 seems like another good option. its really hard to decide, especially being away from mds for so long. and reading posts for hours in the forum doesnt help much in narrowing down which md i should get.

it has truly been a long time since i touched a md device. my last md player player was a panasonic mj-50, released in '99, so that would make it roughly 6 years since i have been into mds the original reason why i stopped using it was it was too much of a pain to transfer music to the md, i had a sony stereo system that had a md component, which i hooked up to my computer using line in to record the music. now im in the market for a new portable audio device. i was using my pda to listen to music before, but found it too bulky. then i tried using an ipod shuffle, which i lost, and which i also didnt like too much cause it was a bit too small. and on top of that, both of them had limited space (~750mb on the pda [1gb sd card with other stuff on it, and 512mb for the shuffle) the size of a md player is just about right, not too big, but not too small. and another plus for it is the remote, which i love cause i hate to access the device just to adjust anything. but i dont know if a md player is right for me. i mainly need it for music playback, but most people here seems to like md for recording, which i have limited use for. it would be nice to use it to record lectures, im still in university for another 4-5 months. other than that, i cant think of why i would need the ability to record. im looking at hi-md in particular, as it would double the capacity of my existing mds (which i have still kept over the years, and i know exactly where they are) i have like 5 or so new ones that i still havent opened and a dozen or so used ones lying around. should i be looking at md devices or am i better off with a mp3 player? i wouldnt say im a really picky audio person, but i would expect decent audio quality. other features im looking for would probably be slim, sleek. i usually prefer the less is more approach in design. then there is always the price, which is a somewhat important factor as im still in university without a job. the devices im interested in are the rh10, rh910, nh1, nh3d, eh1, and the to be released rh1 what do the people here think is a good md player for me, or if i should just go with a mp3 player? one last thing, if i do get a md player, would i be able to convert my mp3s to atrac3plus and then transfer it on an md? [i know its a bad idea as using a lossy codec on a lossy source is really bad, just wondering if that is possible or not] thanks
