Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the whole mini disc thing and have a few questions for you...

I'm a photojournalism student working on my master's thesis, for which i want to do interviews in addition to photographs.

From what I've read, a HiMD recorder and mic are the way to go, but I'm not sure which one to get. The sony MZNH 900 looks the best for the money, but is out of stock many places.

The other isssue is that I have a mac powerbook, and I can't find much info on how minidisc recorders work with macs. Can you import the files into ProTools or Final Cut Pro? And if I wanted to burn a minidisc of music from my mac, can I do that?

Any info/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!!

All of the uploading capabilities of Hi-MD are Windows-only because they require SonicStage, a Windows program. The recordings can only be imported via SonicStage because they are encrypted--they are not drag-and-drop.

You might want to look into hard-disc recorders from Archos and Iriver, or voice recorders (if that's all you're doing) from Olympus.
