Guest Anonymous Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 If anyone knows, is it possble that the HI-MD device will act as a disk drive with the ability to store regular data files up to the capacity of the 1GB HI-MD Disc. Also with the HI-MD will it be able to upload 100% audio data from HI-MD and MDs to the PC. Is this finally what we've been waiting for plus more.

mAjEsTiC Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 apparently yes the Hi-MD units will be able to act as a high capacity storage device for both data and audio...and yes it also will (hopefully) sport a new uploading feature that is faster than realtime...so yes this would be very good...too bad it still uses the dreaded internal li-ion battery....

KJ_Palmer Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Uploading and data file transfer to and from PC will be standard on all HiMD portables. Uploading will be available for recording made via mic-in and line-in. It remains to be seen whether optical recordings will be allowed to uploaded, but probably not. Only the high-end portables will use LiIon batteries, all others use good old AA. Have a look at these Hi-MD units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actorlife Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 So no word on how fast HI-MD can upload and download? :roll: are those batteries that bad Majestic? is it similar to the N10? gulp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 well they are bad because u can't take them out and swap them for another fully charged one like a gumstick can and from what i'm guessing would be similarly spec'd to that on the N10 (which sux IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leland Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 From pictures, it appears the MZ-NH900 will use Ni MH gumstick batteries. I think the PC-HiMD download speed will be essentially the same as the current crop which max out at 64 x. The 100 x real time spec is no doubt for the low bitrate atrac3plus which would be that fast on the N10 today if it were compatible. Still, it's pretty fast. Not a problem in my book.

Guest Anonymous Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Will Hi-MD's uploading-to-PC allow for SP-quality uploaded audio? Or will it be like NetMD, where the best you can do is LP quality? Not sure if this has been covered before, or if anyone knows the answer to this.

OlDe Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 like actorlife said: "WOW"! You have (had) a nice collection of players over the years, but why do people keep changinf their players over and over? For example isn't the MZ-N10 the best player around? Majestic, I have Cmt-C5 also, how do you find it? Have you used the optional netmd function? Do yout friends like it? Do you know anyone else who has it? From what I have been told I have the only one in Finland .... the lights are so cool in the dark.... 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have been told I have the only one in Finland .... the lights are so cool in the dark.... 8) the N10 is a nice recorder but i do prefer my N1 because of its sound quality as well as the Gumstick battery...but i like to change my units ever so often because i want to know the difference between the newer units and that of the old... regarding ur 2nd q's i have not purchased the optional PC Link for the C5 as i don't think it would've done much in terms of recording time...since this unit didn't support NetMD in the first place the PC Link that was available would have just made a connection to the PC so it made titling and recording a little easier...but it is still done via real-time (if i remembered correctly)...i like it it's a nice unit...but there are a few ppl in Aus that would have had this unit...^^ and yes the blue light looks cool in the dark... Wow Majestic!!! you've pretty much tried them all. Which one has the best sound in your opinion? Wow Onkyo must be a old model. Which one out of Panasonic and Aiwa would you say has the best sound?yep the Onkyo was an very old unit and i'm surprised i managed to score one from Japan...out of the models from Panasonic and Aiwa i would probably say that the MR100/MJ70 and AM-F70 had really good sound....

Leland Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 The many units are now a liability, as I have only sold a few and handed down a few others so now they are lying all over the house. There is one or two not listed. This causes some 'splaining to be done when I have to buy a new one, as will be the case with HiMD when it arrives. I have a similar problem with digital cameras. For headphones I usually use my Etymotic ER-4S phones, as MD is used mostly when I travel on planes or trains. I also have Grado SR-80's for use at home and various different earbuds from Sony. Have tried Koss porta pro also. I recommend Grado 60's and Ety's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actorlife Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hi Leland and Majestic, Hehe i guess we are MD collectors! Seems like one has more than the others new sound, nice design new options on and on. What Cameras do you guys own? I'm think of getting the Canon 300D! I have an old Canon A1 & T-5 (wish i could find the manual ) which i bought used. I also like the Koss PortaPro they are my favorite headphones so far! The EX71SL (highly improved over the EX70's) are cool too. The Grados R60 are on their way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
