urabus Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Hi, I'm new to these forums, but have been using MD's for several years now. I have an 'old' MZ-R70, pre-PC version, and I've really enjoyed using it these past three plus years. Now I have been wondering what I would replace it with if it broke down. It still works great, but I have been wondering how much longer it'll keep going. I have considered getting a HDD MP3 player, such as an iPod, but it would be a shame to throw away my MD collection. I really haven't considered the new Hi-MD format since I use a Mac and I know Sony isn't particularly Mac friendly. Are the NetMD, and for that matter, Hi-MD units capable of the old real-time recording speed? I understand they can play them, but I was wondering if they recorded as well. I really haven't followed the progress of the MD units for a while now. The last recorder I remember liking was the MZ-R900. So I haven't paid any particular attention to NetMD or Hi-MD. And I don't have a price point, since a HDD player can be as high as $600. What's a good, near top level real-time recorder? Sorry for the lengthy post.

atrain Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 apart from the cheapest or entry level, net & himd are capable of recording in realtime via optical &/or analog. you may as well go for a himd as price is about the same for netmd & the greater range of recording formats plus greater capacity discs are complemented by full backward compatibility with your old discs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
