I've ALWAYS loved this function. I have so many 60min - 74min DJ sessions recorded from a friend of mine way back. For individual tracks - I used the T-Mark (I had MZH-70 or something like that 12+yrs ago) and played back the tracks via my PC and saved individual tracks (that GOD for software now a days). Then I'd burn to a CD and import to a new MiniDisc to create a "demo" Minidisc for ppl I'd see on the BUS with a MiniDisc. Was kinda cult like. Imagine listening to a MiniDisc player some 9yrs ago and some brother walks up to you on the BUS and gives you a disc ... you ask (they always do in surprise & elation like expressions) "whats this? Whats on it, what kind of music"? I'd purposely just nod and say nothing. So many discs where giving out here in T-dot only saw 1 person again and her & her girlfriend thanked me with hug ;D

What a pain that was. But I gotta find me a HiMD disc recorder player as I still have precious music on those old discs I NEED!

the latest himd recorder (MZRH1 http://www.sony.com.au/walkma[....]g/product.jsp?categoryId=34288 )
allows you to save to computer all your old recordings ie: via data transfer as opposed to line out to line in at realtime speed. Also any net-md rips form CD. ALSO supports MP3 native and drag and drop of mp3 straight to the mini-disc as a data drive. !!

I want one bad...

Yep, gotta get me one! Having trouble sourcing 1GB HiMD discs though - may have to buy online.

On another note: I did some recording last weekend to minidisc from old cassettes using my walkman cassette player (for my mum - she wants to listen to her old cassettes on her cd player - her old tape deck is busted)

The result was amazingly listenable. Some of the cassettes are very old - so after I uploaded to pc I ran noise filtering software over the wav files. I am very pleased with the results, I may even convert some of my old cassettes to digital this way - atleast the stuff I can't get online or on cd.

Sorry to dig up a not-so-old thread, but this is a sad news:

Ah MD-players, I had one, a long time ago.
After using two Portable CD/MP3-players, both broke within months.

I turned to the MD and a Sharp player. Had it for some years, most of the time in a drawer, thought.


But by then I was using Mp3s, playing them with a laptop and a pair of computer speakers. converting/transfer mp3s to the MD-player was slow and (new that some Sony's had hight speed transfer, but mine was a Sharp ), didn't bother about it but I guess I loss some quality at the same time.

It was quite soon replaced with a Hama MP3-player and a 256MB card... And 3 or 5 other mp3-players still got the 3rd one in a drawer.

Haven't thought about the Sharp MD-player since I moved to my first own apartment. Maybe it's still at my parents house, there should be some 15 or 20 MD-discs too?
