I just got one of these net md 505 minidisc players from sony


http://www.sonystyle.com/home/item....d=&itemid=28901

Ive never used minidisc players before, but i really like how small it is, however whenever i put mp3s on it, the mp3s need to be converted to ATRAC3 which takes so long when you have a 50gig mp3 collection. I couldnt put that much on a minidisc anyways.

Anyone have an MD player?

Anyone have one of those cd/mp3 players?

thoughts?

Welcome to the world of MD, hope you get more use out of yours than i do.

I been involved with MD since late 1998 and I have to say that today's MD recorder are MUCH better than yesterday's, in EVERY aspect! I HIGHLY suggest that you read Brian Yoan's INCREDIBLY DEATAILED reviews of Japanese MD units BEFORE you go buy something. This bloke reviews EVERY SINGLE aspect of these units! http://www.minidisc.org/ has all of his reviews. Just remember that Japanese products come out about 6 - 9 months before they hit the US so, read his review in the Autumn/Winter (Northern Hemisphere) and by Spring/Summer, those same unit (s) that he reviewed will be on store shelves. I suggest that you read these kind of things, THEN decide what's best for YOURSELF.

lol! i bought an MD player, sold it, bought a 6 gig mp3 player, sold that too!

ask 'mos man' about his he got an awsome one, i think its a md player

its still buzzing

i have a SONY MD player. i bought the best one that was avalible @ Xmas just there. i havent really got a lot of use out of it

The real time record bit still needs to be worked on.

If u connect the MD player to ur pc and go on some of the online record stores that let u sample the whole track before u download you can just record away quality wont be so good but hey it gives u time to listen to it.



Enjoy ur new Toy

Does anyone know how to put information on an MD?

I dont know if i should return it or not. It takes too long to convert mp3s to ATRAC3's.

I wish they made these things with 1gig built in memory for information.

i bought my first md about 3 years ago then i bought a sony then i bought a sony player and then i got a sony net md recorder N1 the day it came out (jap relesase). and ali ur rite old players suck

Im going to return this MD player and get one of those CD/Mp3 players. You can put more mp3s on a CD then MD or as a regular audio CD. Plus, you dont need to convert formats like in MDs.
