Actually I have a version of Let it Be , that is quite amusing . Maybe I can post it one day , I will think about it . to the chords and rythym of the above mentioned " I been it the Back of this truck for hours..... rolling down Hiway 1....... they got the music up so loud , they cant hear anyone ........... Let me peee let me peeeee . let me Peee Oh god let me Peeeeeee. My back teeth are floatin . let me peeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEE," and it gets worse ,,,,, much worse!!!!

It isnt dead , it is an Aging Jedi , that will recede into the Desert country, or some remote Planet , until the Chosen One comes. Trust in the Source . Yoda

The Brandenburg Concerto's ... Ahhhhhhhhh , that and a very good cup of coffee , and a lazy Sunday morning .

Thx for the links , They have 1.1.4 for OSX with a 1.2.0 coming soon , that is good news for Mac people , FLAC is good , full 24 bit capability and NO DRM !!!!! YAY . Good way to send stuff , between Musicians , convert nack to wav with no loss.

I am noticing here in Japan , Clearance tables , with stacks of MD 's more and more ,..... so I would think just Getting the MD's new unsealed would be good , might not be much available in the US much longer .

The R-09 would be a good option as well , I have a Lute Player freind who is slap happy with his , "I dont have to Plug anything in !!!!!!" I hear all the time

you have to get pretty close to your personage in question , but yeah it could be used for that . The fact that it is recocnized as a Drive on th computer is a big plus . It has a Handle attachment that fits a mic clip or use as a handle . So if the limited noise isnt an issue the H2 is workable . If they want a music player as well , then MD is the way to go.

Yes

You Cunninglinguist you ! Well it would really depend on what you do after the recording process. If you wish to get it into the computer , you will need the ability to upload , If not then the MD selection opens dramatically Also if your going to use a Macintosh Computer , that will further narrow the field . If you are doing spectral analysis or voice samples and analysis , you will want fairly pristine audio . for that route , The RH1 is the best bet , But then you gotta add a mic , so there is extra money , Field recording Depends on how clean you want it to be , how realistic , as to what mic to get . My personal field setup is the RH1 + Auditechnica AT-822 stereo mic , it has never let me down , especially the mic , I have had that model for many years , and used with many different recorders . There are cheaper mics , but they do not sound the same . For Voice , though you can go with a narrower field , The Sony ECM-957 is a nice mic , and would go well with the RH1 , it has a Switch for the stereo spread to go from 90 degrees displacement to 120 for a wider stereo image , in the voice situation you would use the 90 and get a more focused vocal image. Also if you record one person at a time or you want a MONO image that is doable to . The Zoom H2 , would work for the as well although the quality of audio just isnt all that impressive to me ( my Sony spoiled me) The H2 has MP3 recording in several flavors as well as WAV Make the determination , first not just the project at hand , but how would you use the unit afterwards , if you want to catch a lot of live stuff and archive , or want to build up a collection of indexable things , I would go MD , easy to label , keep track of , not easily damaged or scratched , The music collection begins to grow , all those CD's your freinds have that you wouldnt mind having a Copy of !! ( one of the reasons I bought my first MD , did the math , CD's cost X' I have freindsX' , The unit costs X' hmmmm in 6 months I would have the unit payed for in music!!!!) Also , one of my favorite recorders for lectures and stuff is the Sony MZ-B10 , uses AA Batteries , built it Mono Microphone , Records in LP2, and Lp4 for longer recording, Has Optical input for copying CD's . One button push and Record , auto end search ,so you dont have to , and no Levels to mess with . It is specifically made for that purpose , as gives music ability as well , but to get it into the computer you have to do real time.

The RH1 is a Recorder , and it sounds like you just want a Player , the EH50 , Eh70 , 930 etc are player only modes and will play all those old disc's quite well . But if you want to get them into the computer , then you need the interface , and the RH1 is a good way to go .

The one thing you will find is the Sony Mic pre is much nicer , a bit of change yes , but for the sound quality it is worth it .

OK thx dude , appreciate that .

Find a Freind with a Mac , get MD transfer 2.0 on it then hook the MD uo to the Mac , or will the 700 do that ? Is it the RH1 and the 200 only Mac compatable?? anyway all files Upload to Mac as WAV files instead of ATRAC , Or you can just Use Audacity and Record from the Line out of the MD , into the Line in on the Computer , Slow I know , but Saved as a Wav that is completely usable and convertable to whatever format you want , I would think worth the effort and time.

Hold the dislay button in for a few seconds , Edit should pop up
