sidearms Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 after waiting and waiting to replace my sorely missed sharp mt-831 with a new Hi-MD unit, i have given up. i'm tired of sony's bulls**t proprietary garbage, crippled hardware and constant delays. after doing some research, i found the ideal replacement--iriver iHP-140. a 40gb recorder/player, with line/mic inputs, records in mp3 or wav (although there's a max recoding length, can't adjust recording levels during recording, no recoding level indicator just like the ihp-100 --> http://www.minidisc.org/part_iRiver_iHP-100.html ). the uploading recorders page should be updated to show this model, and the 20gb one, iHP-120. anyways--this is the one. it works like a real harddrive, just drag and drop, both downloading/uploading, and records in a good quality format. don't get me wrong, i've loved MD since day one, but i've had it with with sony headaches...anyone else?

mutant1345 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 i am with you in the part that sony has some major problems (minidisc shouldnt be judged by by sony's probs) and i hope you are happy with yer iriver but i will stay with md ...i dont much care for mp3 players unless they have everything i need and nothing more or less and are my only option ...i think that hi md will take off once sony is not the only one making the models......those are my thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meryl Arbing Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 ...so much as I am at the music downloaders who are the cause of all the limitations put on MD recorders. These little weasels are the reason I can't upload my own music (...music that I play myself...on instruments) on to my own computer! I don't know where they got the idea that they had some kind of God-given right to 'FREE' music and that musicians were under some moral obligation to entertain them for nothing! Their actions caused the problem and now we have to live with Sony's RE-actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutant1345 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 well its not like these limitations are going to do anything if u have ever looked at te count of people sharing music.....the number is close to 500 billion i and thats why they stopped sueing people left and right ....the chances of getting sued dont scare people its littlerly 1 in a couple billion.....so what makes this any different no one cares about limitations enough to just stop downloading music and even if it does affect someone enough it isnt gonna stop all of them.....
