Topic: Best Mini Disc recorder???

[mihu23]

Hi, i'm quite a newbie in trying to become a taper, i have a NJ3 but i would like to have a mini disc so it would be a perfect second choice whenever i have to tape a show.

I've been searching, asking and reading about mini discs but i don't have a clue in which one is the best, i know that there ain't a best one since it deppends of the needing, so my needings are:

• To be a MD recorder
• I can upload the audio to my computer
• That the batteries last long, if its possible to use AA batteris it would be better
• That if I jump while i'm one a show, it won't skip something or mess the taping
• I don't care too much in the price since the most of the MDs in ebay are lower than 100 bucks

Hope someone could help me since a lot of interestins shows are coming to Mexico and i would like to tape some of them, anyway, thanks in advance

Back in the day many moons ago I would just patch in with my MD..  I had some Sony I got from best buy and it worked just fine... I still have a folder around here somewhere with about 200 shows in MD.  If you're worried about battery life, I just took a package of battery's to the show with me...  Although I always felt stupid asking to patch into peoples mics with my blazing hot MD, luckily I had friends who didn't mind, they just chuckled a little

My advice would be to get a DAT. You can get a D8 or D100 for fairly cheap these days, and the quality will be far supierior to that of any MD.  Also you could freely trade those tapes.  Your MD's are untradeable and highly advised giving them out at all, other then personal use.

Any Hi-MD is lossless and would be the same quality as any DAT recording.

IMHO, it is a MISTAKE to waste any money on a MD/HIMD.
 
Honestly, the Edirol R-09 flash memory recorder is  the same price ($339 delivered) as a HIMD and has lots of benefits over the MD's early 1990s technolgoy. Check the R-09  FAQ sticky at the top of this forum.

One other thing.  I and GuySonic reviewed all the reasons why a MD/HIMD is not a smart purchase today anymore...

In my opinion - most beginners start out w/ MD - then move up to HD or w/e

I have a Sony MZ-RH910 - gets the job done
its not as nice as the MZ-RH1 - but i have no complaints with my model

oh yeah... i forgot i couldnt trade a MD recording by burning the .wav file as data onto a cdr - then mail trading it

yeah, someone told that sharp's MD recorder are far better than sony's but i don't know which is the best model, i've founded this models on ebay:

MD-MT170E
MD-MT831H
MD-MT15
MD-MT80H

All of these are from England so I think that I have to buy an adaptar in order to use them in Mexico, and I found this model too:

MD-SR60

Which woul you think it's better??? or there is a model that is better and I missed it???
