I also have the MZ-N1 MD recorder, which I got as soon as it came into UK shops.

ITs a great piece of kit, and I love it to bits.

The faster your comp, the faster it can convert MP3's into ATRAC 3 Format, and then the USB upload is real fast, which is alot better than real time recording.

However, this range of MD players is a desperate attempt by Sony (And other companies ) to cash in on MP3 music.

This MD is nothing compared to the iPod, which has a 10 GB HD, doesn't need conversion, and has ultra quick file transfer via the firewire connection.

This lot of players would have been excellent if they had come out b4 the current range of MP3 players, but as they came out recentlry, their introduction into the market will be very short lived.

But having said that, I have always used MD's and I just installed an MDX-M690 Active black panel Head unit in my car, so I won't be switching from MD for a long time yet!

Originally posted by Dmatrox 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.

As far as storage goes, that would be your best option. If minidisc could fix up their problems with storage without loss of quality, and have storage capacity similar to that of a mp3 cd, then it would reign supremecy. Dont buy some extravagent contraption that sets you back a small fortune, and then get a memory stick walkman in a couple of years, will be the best.

ya, i'd say the r900 is the nicest looking portable recorders

had one for a while now & say i can't imagine life without it

btw. atrac compression is better quality than lame or fraunhofer

agreed recording/transfer time sux, but one reason i got md was 'cos i didn't like carrying my cd player around...md is about 1/4 size
