travis Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 How you doing,For a while i've been trying to find a mp3 player. The only thing is i want a recording feature on it to plug int whatever or record concerts. So far I havent found anything. I came across this Sony Mini-Disc and it looks good but i dont know anything about it or how it works. From what i've read its a pain to use a MP3 player cause you have to reformat all your song files. And from what i've read what you record dont go on your computer easily.Can anyone give me the lowdown of whats up with everything and the pros and cons of using one of these. IF you have any product suggestions for me that'd be great. I'm looking for something under 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted October 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 I've been looking around a little bit and came across the MZ-RH10. Hows this as a player and recorder? And what would mic recordings (concerts) sound like? any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 This is propably not going to help with your decision, but i'd say any (Hi)MD recorder can sound anywhere between very bad and excellent for live recording applications, depending how you use it. GIGO. But the potential is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 The RH-10 is capable of recording CD-quality audio (PCM). With decent mics and levels set correctly you can record a very good facsimile of what you heard at the concert. It will not be a studio recording. It will not be a clean soundboard recording. It will be the actual sound of a live show, with conversation, noise, etc. But it will be high-fidelity. Good microphones + good placement = good recordings. Listen to some of them in the Live Recordings tab above. And check this thread: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=9045 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 what about in terms of playing songs on it as a mp3 player. is its purpose that ?or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Yes, it works as an mp3 player. You can fit 10-12 albums in Hi-LP on a regular 80-minute minidisc, three times as many on a 1GB Hi-MD disc. Transferring CDs is easy with Simple Burner. Transferring mp3 files is done with SonicStage, which is a little clumsier than iTunes. Uploading also has to be done through SonicStage, but it is much improved from the days when everyone was complaining about it. SonicStage 3.2, not earlier versions, is pretty decent. It's bulkier than a standalone mp3 player. But if you want a recorder that's also a pocket-sized mp3 player, it's the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
