Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback
Steve! Please find following a clip from the PDF describing the Sony MZRH910 and it's capability to upload to your computer. Do you really think the such a professional company like Sony could leave such an obvious requirement out? Never mind I take that back. Now with that said I will add that I don't believe it until I see it and I'm blind. That's why I've secured an agreement with Sony that they will take it back if it's not everything the blind consumer needs. Then continue on for the bit about a very popular Sony Digital Audio Tape recorder that three professional customers including blind ones of mine swear by. (Begin Clip) FEATURES Ability to Record From Multiple Sources (Mic/Line-in) : Use line-in jack on the Hi- MD player to transfer and archive legacy formats such as tapes to low cost 1GB Hi- MD MiniDisc Media. The mic input is a perfect solution for self recordings, school concerts or meetings. Choose a maximum recording time of up to 45 hours, or uncompressed/lossless quality depending on specific needs. Self Recording Upload Feature : Upon transferring a Hi-MD recording to SonicStage® Music Management System, you will have the option to save in .WAV format in a designated folder on your PC's hard drive. A file saved in .WAV format provides you with the flexibility to import the file into a music management Application where you can manage the file, compress the .WAV File to another format, or burn the file to a CD-R/RW. (End Clip) For the audio professional who needs to record on the run, sony's pcm-m1 professional portable dat recorder is the company's smallest and lightest; dat unit. features include 48 khz/44.1 khz/32 khz sampling frequency selection, up to 3.5 hours of continuous recording with supplied ni-mh rechargeable batteries, selectable id6 (scms copy protection), record margin indication, start id level select, back lite lcd display (blue), and a high-quality microphone circuit.;^pcmm1 PCMM1.B -- SONY PROFESSIONAL Retail: $1,075.00 Your Price: $750.00, includes shipping in the cotinental United States Chirp|Chirp|Chirp: It's the Bat, Chirping Bat .Com !

Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback
I've had mini disc recorders since 1996 and really love them. I have the sony 505, and even though it doesn't have a mike input, I use it to listen to music while I ring bells during xmas time for the Salvation Army. I do have a sony MZR90. An it's one of the older portable models and it does have a mike input. The only thing is when you get in to the menue, you need to keep track of the amount of times you move the wheel to keep track of which function you want to go too. I also have an MDSJE480 home minidis recorder, and I really love it. That one and the 505 portable will play the LP2 LP4 and the SP sampling rates. But the MZR90 will only play the SP sampling rates. The MDSJE 480 doesn't have a mike input. I do have a stereo tie clip mike I use for the MZR90. It's a cheap mike, but really it sounds quite nice. the only draw back with the MZR90 is that you can't move it around much while in the record mode, or it will mistrack. But over all I like the minidisk format quite well. Kevin On Tue, 24 May 2005 15:49:08 -0600 "Bobcat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Michael. The new Olympus interests me.

Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback
Michael. The new Olympus interests me. I just lost my Olympus VN1800 So I'm in the market for another memory aid. Will be nice for recording choir practices too. They finally came out with the sort of recorder I wanted. Only wish it had more memory but 128 megs will do, especially for the aprox $100 price tag. I sure hope it uses multiple beeps for selecting folders the way my 1800 did. It had 1 to 4 short beeps for 4 folders. The other functions on the 1800 had useful audible tons as well. Only thing I could not work was the calendar function. I notice that a model reviewed on Main menu only used one tone so it was harder to keep track of folders. That was a step in the wrong direction from Olympus. I would go for a Mini-disk but it seems they all have some sort of accessability drawbacks. I'll have to figure out a way to keep the new Olympus from getting away from me. Maybe I'll use the neck cord. - Original Message - From: "Michael Lang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

It's a fine li'l machine, but it's definitely not made for on-the-spot recording and digital extraction. Its only output is through the earphone jack--no digital outs available. If that's true, then what's an on-the-spot recordist using these days if one cannot get one's hands on an Edirol or one cannot afford the price of admission which is admittedly on the high side as compared to minidisc or DAT?
