copying HI-MD to SONY Flash Memory players

[1kyle]

If you have the new sony NWS* type of flash players --neat, tiny and extremely functional for Play Back - (some models also have a built in FM radio which unlike the HI-MD NHF700 doesn't require you to use the supplied headphones when using the FM function) you CAN copy (real time Analog but still OK) recordings from your HI-MD unit (or any other audio device) to the flash device without using a computer.

The flash device comes with a special cable, one end plugs into the "USB" type connector on the device and the other end into the Line / Phone out of your HD recorder. Simply press play on both machines and away you go.

Incidentally a bit OT but you can also use the flash device this way as a portable RECORDING device.

Obtain a double ended female stereo connector and plug a microphone into one end and the special recording cable into the other end of the double female connecting cable.

Press Play on your flash unit and you've got a very simple passable recording machine as well. - Not as convenient as an RH1 but can do at a pinch or if you've run out of discs since a 4GB flash memory can give you quite a lot of time at PCM.

The manual will decribe recording modes etc. These can then be copied back to MD via SS .

Cheers

Are their any pictures of this cable and does it fit/work on all of them?

Hmm. Let's see if i understand this right: You can use the Sony NWS706 as a recorder? Since it records with "line in" does this mean you get the same quality as with RH1? Are there any other big differences between the Sony NWS706 and RH1 when it comes to recording sound? This thing looks really interesting!
