Hey! The white NH600 is nice, but I still don't feel comfortable with white audio players. Yes! call me a maniatic, but hey, no white NH600 is going to change my mind about my beatiful and useful blue NH600!

What can I say? Being a playback only HiMD user, I couldn't be happier with it. For the holiest shake, life battery is insane! It is quite fast at downloading and converting songs to the player (note that I come from using a 510), and bought a cheap elk35 on eBay and could not have done a better inversion. I love this player, and I probably won't convince anybody with these reasons, but have had quite a lot of music players and would not go back to mp3 flash players. I never owned an Ipod, if anyone wants to know, but I don't think I need to.

Russell Letson, that post cleared all the doubts I had about the reasons why the minidisc is (considered) superior to other common devices when it comes to recording capabilities. Regarding the remote question, thank you all very much for your replies, they calm me down a lot, but we will find out when I receive the unit, although now I feel a bit more confident in not having thrown my money in the remote. Greetings!

OMG! This is the kind of things I would not have liked to read after just buying my mc35elk on ebay three hours ago. Sniff.. well, at least it will have some use when I go jogging with my 510... with my non-himd formatted discs... what a pity. Thanks all.

Thank you all very much for your responses! I asked those people who record live music via minidisc, why did they chose minidisc instead of these common mp3 recorders, because I thought the quality in recording should be quite similar and there were no restrictions regarding uploading files to a computer as they are (were, before nh-1) with MD. I guess the variety of micros for minidisc recorders make a difference as well. I am quite relieved when you told me I probably could use a remote with the unit. It is not that a remote is indispensable for me, but I would like to buy one (35EL, maybe) and I have seen some pictures of NH600's without a remote port, and wandered if mine could be one of those. Thanks a lot again for your time!

Hello everybody! I have been around the MD scene since 2 years now, when I purchased my beloved mz-n510. It has been working perfectly since then, and still does. I have gone through several stages when it comes to listening to music, including the "I prefer these mp3 cheap players" and the "Hey, my N-Gage does the work" which are actually pretty valid options, but it is now that I realize I enjoy the music more than I do with other players. And the reasons are pretty stupid I love the fact of having three or five albums into each disc, it is a good balance between the cheap flash players, quite limited, and the Multi-Gb players which make you put almost your whole music collection into it and not listening to. I know it is weird to explain, but this MD thing makes me be more on touch with my music than other players have ever done. Don't know if anybody understands me but I had to say it. But sorry for the small talk, I am not here to tell everybody the reasons I like MD format. I just wanted to know why the recording abilities of the MD units is so famous. Isn't the quality comparable to the recordings made with other mp3 players? I mean, almost every usb stick flash player, X5, Muvo, and other players have this recording option and encoding to mp3 directly. What makes MD different? So I just wanted to know this. It is just plain curiosity, as I think I will soon buy a NH600. I know, it's kinda strange for me to like MD when I am always jumping from low-end to low-end devices, usually after 2 years they came into the market... but that is the way it is, im getting it for around 90 euro shipped, and thought it could be worthy giving it a try. Now that I have started an incredibly long thread (I didn't want to, I promise!) I also would be very thankful if anybody could tell me which are the chances of my device not supporting a remote control, as I have seen pictures of NH600's with and without remote ports. I am buying it through Ebay so I still don't know if my unit has or not a remote port, but in any case, I'm asking you, the expert MD guys. Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post. See you!

Hello everybody! Im new here. I registered just because I am having the very same problem, and have tried even uninstalling every single direct show filter and codec into my system, then performing a clean installation of SonicStage 3.4, only for getting even more dissapointed when I was unable to transfer any files. I have tried everything and I'm going nuts. I have a lovely minidisc in which I can't put any songs anymore! I hope the solution to this problem is found. By the way, I heard that SonicStage 3.1 could work here where 3.4 doesn't. Can anyone tell me where can I find this 3.1 version of SonicStage? Thank you very much.
