slobjones Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 What sort of compression does the Zen Nano Plus use for voice recording? To judge the quality I can expect, I'd like to know the bit rate at which this unit saves voice recordings. For example, does it save at 64kbps, 128k or higher?How would this compare to voice recording with minidisc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuge Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 None of the voice recorder can compete MD recorders . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) For voice recordings, that unit may be sufficient. However quality-wise, you can record with HiMD in uncompressed PCM (i.e. WAV format), HiSP (256kbps), or HiLP (64kbps, probably okay for voice). You can then upload these recordings to PC. Plus HiMD has removeable media, which in my opinion is much better than being stuck with whatever HDD storage any mp3 player has. (I say mp3 player because aside from MiniDisc (which is a recorder) that is what just about evrything else is designed as.

slobjones Posted April 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Thanks for that information. What is the recording quality of the original minidisc format (pre-dating HiMD)? You know, the format where someone other than Sony actually manufactured units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 SP mode will give you very good quality, but recording time will be limited to 80 minutes per disc and PC transfer will be problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
