I always move the file to the computer . It's just I don't quite trust file transfers since I lost a few in the past with my HI MD recorders . Since than I always make a analog copy before hand. Better an analog copy than nothing at all...
Unless I'm missing something that's unnecessary and a HUGE waste of time. Skip the analog copy and copy (not move) the digital file to the computer. If you copy the file to the computer, you should still have a perfect digital file on the M10's flash card even if you have a power failure or some other problem during the process. This may not be the case if you move the file instead of copy it.
Losing a file during a transfer was a known issue with mini-disc (though it never happened to me with my MZ-RH1). Not so with transfers of files from a flash drive to hard drive.
99,9 % you are right . But for that 0,01 % chance something happens with the micro SD card , I'm happy to have another copy .
It'll never happen I loose a file due to a file transfer.
Besides, believe it or not , I really don't hear the difference between this recorder and minidisc . Technically there is , offcourse...but in reality I don't think anyone can hear the difference . And I have a great stereo set up where you should be able to tell the difference . An analog copy sounds as good as the original to me on Minidisc . And it saves me all the work at the computer .
Sure , I keep the original file on my hard drive . But I never do anything with it at all .
I wonder how everyone listens to their recordings anyway ?
I'd like to listen to my recordings on a hifi stereo set . Not on the computer for sure . And I dislike CDR's or DVD's ( scratches , storage etc. ).
