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? |

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. |

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 :D |

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. |

| 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. |
