Guest Anonymous Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 I'm considering buying a minidisc player. I am looking for one that will do the works. I will most likely be using one for listening to music (both recorded and downloaded on computer) and recording band practices and maybe live concerts. Also it would be great if i could record and upload the files on the computer and mix them. So far all i've come across that has cought my interest is the mz-nf810ck is that player any good and will it meet my requirements. or is there something else that someone can recommend to me. Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudden Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 NetMD or not NetMD that's the first question you must decide on. If you can live without that feature then there can be only one unit for you, Sharp DR7 (same as MD-DR470 over here in Sweden). With it you have Sharps superior mic recording quality (most Sony models sux in that area), backlite remote. In short everyting you need of a minidisc. If NetMD are more important than live recording I would recommend Sony MZ-N710 (same as Sony MZ-NF810 but without radio recever), Sharp have to date only one NetMD model IM-MT880/MT899. What I heard it's not as good as Sony in that field. Note that new Sony MZ-NE810 have no line in or mic in! Can only record via NetMD function. So if any of your wish list features are important then that one are not for you. Also note that no model can transfer music back to PC digitaly. Only way is the old fasion way of analog recording. Unless you get a deck player with optical out and you have optical in on your PC. Then you can record digitaly (in real time) from MD to PC.

CoinSlot Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 The MZ-N810 has mic-in etc. It's the MZ-E810 that is Sony's new Net MD only recorder. The MZ-N810 was what he was asking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudden Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Yes I know, as I wrote "I would recommend Sony MZ-N710 (same as Sony MZ-NF810 but without radio recever)" I just wanted to point out that another model with very similar name Sony MZ-NE810 have no mic, to be sure to get the right one if he order it by mail. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudden Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 True, for recording purpose it will make no differens compared with an older Sharp. However you may want to transfer the music onto your PC and then the 1bit system will make it sound even better. I think you made a great deal deciding on that model.
