minidisc

Hi Guys, and thanks in advance for reading this!

A format introduced several years ago by Sony that allows recording and playback of audio to and from a small magneto optical disc with a capacity of 140MB. To be able to record 74 minutes of music, the technology applies a data compression algorithm called ATRAC that compresses the data by about 5:1, but also permanently changes the file on decompression.

Hi I've had great results recording piano and classical chamber music with a Sony Hi-MD Minidisc recorder and some Core Sound binaural unpowered mics. However, the transfer rates are so slow from the MD to the computer and the whole technology just seems outdated in light of cheap flash based devices.

Hello to all. I just bought a used Sony mz-rh910 minidisc recorder but, as it came from ebay, it came with little else but the unit and the seller's recorded disc, so I'm trying to figure out how to use it.

trying to decide which to go with for use with a minidisc recorder - the Sony electret condensor mic or ECM-MS907. The first is much smaller but not digital, which is appealing, but I'm wondering if it would record well. Thanks!

I have the RH910 Hi-MD recorder. I go to a certain concert each year and one of the band members just hooks his md up to the soundboard with a "Y" cable and then gives me the disc.

Can anyone help.

I currently have a TCD-8 DAT walkman, which is sadly on its way out. Can anyone advise me on what I should get as a replacement. I need a small, compact recorder (non-timecode) that uses a format that is edit friendly.

Ive heard about the TCD-D100, but is it any good, and isn't DAT becoming an ancient format!

evening all, I'm new and been looking around tonight for some information about the new hi-md's from Sony (well not new,but yeah ya know) and just trying to find one that will do what i need it to and not cut my bank account down too much, pretty much i want it to listen to music (duh) and have recording (line in i guess?) features so that i can record the mixes from my turntables (I'm learning

I use my mic mixer (Behringer UB1202) with my portable minidisc player (Sony MZ-N1) for recording. When Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is on, the levels on the UB1202 and the minidisc player seem to correspond well. When I turn AGC off (manual mode), the recording is totally clipped even though the level indicators on the UB1202 are green.
