anyone here use Hi-MD, i.e. Sony MZ-RH1, etc.

[nripley]

i had the RH1, a few years ago, but some less than scrupulous folks broke in and helped themselves to all our small electronics when we were gone! anyhow, I have 5-6-7 of the 1GB discs laying around, and maybe 12 of the old school ones. if someone would be able to use them, and also possibly transfer some of the material to me, i'd love to do a trade.


if you haven't used one of these, they are ... perfect. the sound is amazing, i would play an mp3 off it for a friend and they'd be blown away compared to an ipod. The SonicStage software was awful, though, and very slow. It was worth it, though.

They are solid little units, with plug-in power, line in, mic in, agc on/off, lots of adjustments for so few buttons. if you see one, specifically the RH1, snap it up. You'd be happy.

I had an SRF-42 AMAX AM Stereo/FM Stereo Walkman and it was stolen with my first Hi-Fi VHS and a near TOTL Sangean-buil Radio Shack multi-band radio/FM stereo out a MONO CASSETTE RECORDER...

I'd worked maybe all of FOUR CONTINENTS and the tape was INSIDE.

By the time I got another '42 the Malays were smoking the silver paint from the TV line and the tuner would jump about like it had never tasted rum-GOOD HEAVENS!

 

[nripley]

ok.

Nick do you know what he said? Do you need an orange dictionary? LOL

[nripley]

There's no "Orange --> English" option on google translations....

 

[orange]

That's because Google is for PORN!

 

[orange]

Well, then what do you suggest we do?

Find an image that doesn't fail overnight, I guess.

Steven I think we will gift you with a English dictionary. LOL

I had two in community college and then they busted the college secretary for embezzling a million dollars and my AD music curriculum, including the ending of the recording technology I was trying to finish and the loss of a fabulous teacher/drummer/phone lineman too set me to feeling college really had little meaning since football was ended in 1975.

The ADMIN building got a new name in the late nineties and it has a tie to me as well.

I worked on the lawn of an elderly couple nest to the woman who first gave my lawn work. She passed, eventually the lone tenant left and after 12 years my next-door customers finally went to a nursing home and eventually died.

I had always worked as hard as I could, mowed, watered, weeded and trimmed the common hedge, I waited up to ten years to ask for even a dollar raise, and although he was probably being goofy it always looked like I was trying to murder him...sheesh.

Now the rest of the story and more irony than One-A-Day ever used.

They were misers, never had children, house was old, the carpet worn and ten or so cats owned the place. One tom tried to wake him up with a shave. None fixed.

When he finally passed on they had willed money to that college.

$700,000

They renamed the ADMIN building after my lawn employers.

I dug my English teacher a ton (her husband was a mechanic and service station operator for the same guy my dad once leased from) but forget it?

At least I got great computer skills on HP 3000 minimainframe and early 386s,

Somewhere after 30 college dances aren't the deal anymore.

I don't believe I have an MD or use for one but what does he want to do? That was an impressive looking deck. It was sad that the tuning on my second SRF-42 was so bad I had to return it and no more were available the only place I could find it. I have a friend who let his Marantz 19 go after he got married and he regrets it a lot. They want ransom money for one now.

If it matters, sell anything else first!

That's it.

Steven I get bummed out also. My professor in college told me to become a robotics engineer. Not an aircraft mech. Hind sight is 20-20. I should have listened. Steven I understand most of what you say. Life is hard for a lot of people at the moment. I am fortunate I have good people around me. I don't know why.

Take care buddy. If you want to talk you have my email.

I meant if someone would transfer my precious files off some of these discs, I'd let them keep all the discs to re-use. They aren't "inexpensive" anymore, at least the 1GB Hi-MD ones.

"and although he was probably being goofy it always looked like I was trying to murder him...sheesh."

note to self.. do not post address on this forum....

 

[speakerman1]

HUH? I'm LMAO. I think I know what your saying. No one would kill anyone here. Maybe kill them with gifts. That is about it. After you have been here awhile. You will understand more.

nripley, Steve(orange is our resident "savant", so a dictionary will not always help, in those times not even the Dali Lama stands a chance. And we love Steven dearly.

Sony appears to have pulled out of marketing MiniDisc as portable MP3 players, indeed this unit is marketed as a professional recorder. And quite a good recorder it is, while also an excellent player in terms of audio quality.

The build quality is great, the unit feels great in your hand and the audio components are top notch, both listening and recording.

The most major improvement over previous generation models, however, is the ability to record and upload in various bitrates. With this unit, Sony has removed restrictions on upload of tracks recorded on MD. So, if you have a MD recorded 5 years ago with a special song not found anywhere else, this baby can upload it to your computer and let you burn it to CD.

For me, that alone made it worth buying.
