Who own one? I just bought one, and I have no idea why
nobody buys these hear in america. Amazing...

Hmmmmm the mini-disk recorders - I just don't think they'll
catch on!

I love this thing. I don't see why you wouldn't want one
aside from the price...

I have one. It's really cool. I copied all of my old
cassettes on MD. Now I need only about a quarter of the
space. And I can play them without any loss of quality.

And yet hardley anyone wants them. I have a condenser mic
arriving on monday, and they I'm beggining production of a
short film of sorts. I think this mb will be the first to
see upon completion...

i bought one about 18 months ago and it completely changed
my life-the sound quality is superb, you can make your own
little compilations that just sound superior to tape, and
they're so compact and cute-minidiscs to buy are dirt cheap
and within a coiuple of months id made my money back with
copied albums off friends that i was going to buy. they are
fantastic.
now sony are doing a line in portable long play md
recorders-you can get something like 3hrs on one 74 min
disc. and they have a built in tuner so you can md direct
from the radio-genius....

recording from vinyl or tape-the md seems to almost clean
up the sound...anyone else found that??

no, i don't think it's a clean up. i think it sounds cleaner
because of the compression of the md system.

My Mini Disc recorder can put 5 hours on one MD. Or 3 hours
of sound that cd quality (not quite, but you can't tell the
difference)...

5 hours on 1 disc? man why doesnt every music fan own one of
these? they are such a good investment...

If you take a 74 min MD, I only know the following formats:

Normal: 74 min
Mono: 2 x 74 min
LongPlay (Sony only): 4 x 74 min

mine doent have the longplay facility...do you loose any
quality of sound through additional compression??

mine doesn't support it either. but i found out that there
are two longplay modes
LP2: nearly same quality as SP, compared to mp3, it would be
44.1 kHz and 192 kBit/sec.
LP4: works with joint-stereo (it stores only left channel
and the difference of left-right), compared to mp3, it would
be 44.1 kHz and 64 kBit/sec (which is very lousy)

How does Atrac compression compare to MP3?....

Anyone know the tech specs?...

My MD has the LP2 and LP4 and in LP2 you can't tell it isn't
cd quality. But you can also have different track at
different speeds.I could have one in normal stereo and the
next in LP2. Quite Nifty...
