MD: help needed
I took my Aiwa AM-F5 on a road trip, using a 4.5V cigarette lighter adapter(pretty sure it's 4.5). On day 3, the unit stopped working--tried recharging battery, but it wouldn't power up at all. I've had the unit for a couple of years and use it a lot. Do you all think I killed the battery, maybe it has reached the end of it's life, or have I killed the unit? I'd like to have some input from more knowledgeable folk before I spend $50 for another li-ion battery. Holly Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard.

Re: MD: Minidisco problems
=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === That is good advice Peter, I have had to do the same thing when a different company shipped something standard and it was supposed to be Over Night. When I didn't get the merchandize, I called them and it had been misrouted by UPS, and I wouldn't get it for another two days. Since I was leaving for Germany and had to take it with me, the company sent out another one OverNight. I recieved it on time and I never found out what UPS did with the misrouted one. Peter Forest wrote: I did business with Minidisco in the past and never experienced any problem with them... They are kind person, honest and usually really fast ! Maybe you should call back and ask for the owner... Maybe it was a new person from this company... If I were them, what I should do is to simply send right away another exact order to you and after call UPS to bring back the package to them...

The reference number arrived almost a day after the order was shipped. The phone droid doesn't know what happened, blames a computer glitch. 3) They are unable to reroute the package. Admittedly, UPS is a pain in the ass to deal with--but they *chose* to ship via UPS because it was (to paraphrase) the best choice for *them*, not necessarily for customers. According to them, UPS refuses to reroute it until after it's on the ground in DC on Monday--but it's scheduled for delivery *that day*, which leaves Minidisco with three hours between 5am and 8am Eastern time to contact them. Will anyone at Minidisco actually call them in the middle of the night from CA? I doubt it. And nobody at Minidisco seems to care much that they've probably just lost a customer. ~ Kiran [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.io.com/contradance/ 1628 5th St NW Wash DC 20001 (202) 483-3373 - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Jim Coon Not just another pretty mandolin picker. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] If Gibson made cars, would they sound so sweet?

MD: MD comes through
I took my MD to a music festival and recorded workshops with it and my homebrew mike. http://www.tir.com/~liteways/Mandolin.html#Microphone The only glitch I had was when I started to title one tune an instructor had played as an example. While I was titling it he started another example and I imediatiely wrote the title and pressed record. Damn Sony and there stupid refusal to get rid of that damnable END SEARCH button. Whoever disigned the END SEARCH button should be strung up by his petubies. After three years on using Sony R30 it still bites. I sure like the other features it has though. The time, date stamp is the cat's pajamas, and I like being able to record with either automatic leve setting or manual level setting. I wish the MD companies would concentrate on m improving one design, getting rid of END SEARCH, and lowering the prices so starving artists can afford these things. -- Jim Coon Not just another pretty mandolin picker. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] If Gibson made cars, would they sound so sweet?

Re: MD: md-l-digest V2 #751
I don't know which I enjoyed more, the long extraneous stuf on gun control, or the many many repeats of quoted material from the previous digest; I think about 75% of this one was quotes. Of course, I'll get a bunch of crap for mentioning this. Funny, but no one complains about allthe excess quoting, but they complain ifyou bring it up... But on to MD questions: does anyone know who is selling the Sony 940 deck for the lowest price now?

Re: MD: MD comes through
It seems that nothing can get this through to the arrogant Sony Corp. The dismal response to our end search petition shows just how much they care... Vote with your wallet - buy a Sharp or something, anything but Sony and you will not have any more end-search problems. I know it's sometimes difficult to take the step *not* to buy Sony, I am (or was) not a big enthusiast of Sharp products but my 701 has worked like a charm - no problems (and no end search!) in 3.5yrs...

According to http://www.minidisc.org the new Sony MZ-R900 lets you set whether or not it will do automatic end search! Unfortunately, it comes set to manually use the end search, but you can bet that it will be the first change I make after I buy one! Woo Hoo!!!
