Earlier this year, my MZ-N510CK died a horrible death. (I'm guessing it had been dropped so many times that it finally gave in.) It just never came back on... *weeps for a short interval* But, when my birthday came around in May, I wanted to get a replacement as a present. And this time, I wanted a Hi-MD. So I did some searching for the cheapest Hi-MD recorder I could find, and the best I came up with was an MZ-RH910, as it was the cheapest that had mic input and it was less than $200 in some online stores. Unfortunately, it was stll too much for my mom to buy me for a birthday present (maybe for Christmas, she said), so I decided to ask my sister to pitch in. My sis then began asking me why I didn't just get an MP3 player, instead of "something obsolete" like MDs. She then said that she would only help with the price if I could prove to her why MD players were superior. So now I'm kinda stumped, because while I know why, I don't know where or how to get proof of the superiority of MDs. However, there is one more thing. Last week, my sis bought some old Billie Holiday records an an antique store. She was hoping to find a way to convert them to CD. Now, the RH910 could do that with a bit of work... if I had one... but I'm not sure if this would be enough to sway her, which is why I beseech the members of this Minidisc Community for help...
