I actually found out that its an MZ-NE410 Sony MD Recorder.

No audio input jacks! Records only via USB download from PC.

A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It's my favorite part of the business, live concerts.

It has a headphone input, and I bet I could tweak it somehow, or not...

Headphone jacks are for output only.  No amount of "tweaking" will make it record from the headphone jack.  :)

Sorry.

sell that minidisc on ebay and use the money to get you a JB3 and a MIDIMAN CO2...thats what I would do if I were you.....
that way you can get some decent waves and you will get source information from various mics. Then you can buy your mics based on your waves/tapes/research....

just my thoughts....JB3s are not that expensive and they will open up a world of possibilities for you.... ;)

I looked up the completed auctions for that model MD and I found that somewhere from $50 to $60 should be about right....You def. cant sell it to another taper or anybody who wants to get into taping because of the input limitations.  I would set it up as a buy it now and take some great pics...Hopefully it is cosmetically sound. Hope this helps..

Here is a Link to the completed auctions for a Sony MZ-NE410

You will have to sign in to ebay to view the link....good luck :)

That wouldn't work. The usb on md player/recorders is for communicating with a host device, like a PC. Sony's got these things so locked down, you have to use their crappy software that won't let you copy any audio back from md. The only thing thiws one would be good for is listening to music

Ya I am deffinately going to go for the JB3, but just gotta talk my parents into letting me sell my MD on ebay.  Or either sell it to some little kid on my street for an outrageous amount.

Jk on the second thing, but I hope I will be able to sell it on ebay.

+t for getting into taping so early.  If you get the JB3 and all the cables that you can muster, you will be able to learn alot about taping.  Try Patching first.  The JB3 will keep you from having to purchase any additional media other than CDRs to archive your files.  You can also use your computer hard drive if its large enough.  I mean by patching you will get the experience needed to make a decision on mics.  I mean you have your hold taping career in front of you.  Just go out there, be humble, ask questions( but dont yell in the taperssection, wait for set breaks or after show to do all of your talking) Learn Learn Learn.....dont try to overprice the MD.  Sell it for 50 to 60 bucks and be done with it.......Good luck.
