i honestly don't think that md is a recorder, it looks to me like its just a player.  does it even have a mic or line in?

People have been telling me that I can record with it.  And they have mics for sale on sony.com for MD players, so I dunno.

Not that I can see.  But other people have told me that with a mic hooked up the right way it can record.

some mds are only players.  if theres no record feature it'll be hard to record even if you have a mic.

Well I'll double check when I get home.  I guess I'm gonna have to buy a JB3.

Ya I really appreciate you all reading my questions.  I just am lazy and don't feel like searching haha.  Sorry, I will search more though.  I just really am hoping not to find that an MD player doesn't work.  Cause I don't have cash right now to go buy a bunch of equipment.

Ya but I don't have it to buy even like basic stuff haha.  Which really sucks for me.  So I will hopefully find someone nice to sell me some old equipment on here.

Check minidisc.org for MD deck info. I found yourrs there (http://minidisc.org/part_Sony_MZ-EH1.html) and it will definitely not take a mic directly. Whoever told you you could was wrong. It only has usb and headphone jacks. The only way to "record" with it would be to transfer audio from a computer to the MD deck via USB, in which case you might as well just use the computer to record the audio.
 
So you're out of luck trying to use that as a field recorder. Your idea of getting a JB3 sounds like a much better way to go.

When you get a JB3, you will need to connect a powered mic (usually mics + a battery box) to it as it doesn't have a real mic input that supplies power to the mics. If you just get the JB3 you could use it to be a patcher until you get some mics of your own.
