psychowood Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Hello everybody!I've just discovered this great community and I've just understood that I have sooooooooo much to learn about MD! I'm going to purchase my first MD portable, and I have the chance to choose between one of these.The primary use will be listening, and some occasional recording. Radio is welcome, too.Any help appreciated.Thanks, and sorry for my english! PsychoWood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Welcome to the forums. Honestly, I would suggest Hi-MD [nh600d] before MD, as it would be a more ideal experience espesically for listening purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tires Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Kurisu's suggestion ofthe NH600D would be fine if you will always copy music to MD from your PC. Since you mentioned that you'd record from time to time, I need to ask you what source you'd be recording from. Will it be a microphone, stereo, or something else?

psychowood Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Thanks for yor answers.Kurisu's suggestion ofthe NH600D would be fine if you will always copy music to MD from your PC. Yes, it will be the primary use, let's say 95% of the time. Also the USB mass storage thing is very attractive..Since you mentioned that you'd record from time to time, I need to ask you what source you'd be recording from. Will it be a microphone, stereo, or something else?I don't really know, I think it'll be from an analogue source, not a microphone. But the 600D doesn't have neither analog nor digital, anyway, so it shouldn't really matter...If the audio quality of the HiMD is far superior, I think I'll go with that...

LowMD Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 The NetMD players are nearly obsolete. Hi-MD has more storage and better sound. Spend a little more $$ and get a Hi-MD that records, like the NH-700. The 600D really ties you to your computer--you can't move tracks around on the MD, you can't do any recording, it doesn't even have an AC adapater plug. For a passive music player, you might well be better off with an iPod. The only advantages of the 600D over an Ipod are the removable/replaceable battery, the removable storage (MDs, not a HDD) and the price--you can find the NH-600D for under $100 on eBay. But the iPod is a lot more compact and user-friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tony wong Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 (edited) go for Hi-MD models only nowHello everybody!I've just discovered this great community and I've just understood that I have sooooooooo much to learn about MD!

The 600D really ties you to your computer--you can't move tracks around on the MD, you can't do any recording, it doesn't even have an AC adapater plug.I know, but the difference in price isn't that low.. I couldn't find a NH-700 (or a non-D 600) without paying almost twice the 600D. And I'm a poor student For a passive music player, you might well be better off with an iPod.I don't like HDD players at all.. don't ask me why, I really don't know As if they are saying "No! Don't buy me!" to me all the time The only advantages of the 600D over an Ipod are the removable/replaceable battery, the removable storage (MDs, not a HDD) and the price--you can find the NH-600D for under $100 on eBay.Which is exactly what I was looking for, after all. Why 'was'? Because a 600D is flying towards me, in its packet. 72 EUR W/ shipping & handling. Not so bad, if you consider that here in Italy it costs almost three times that price!!! Stay tuned: an update will follow as soon as I'll lay my hands on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand you got the non-recording model.Yes, it is the non-recording model. I found it on eBay, there was a "buy it now" for 75 USD, and the shipping was 22 USD.
