Sony’s HiMD player stores 45 hours of music per disc, and allows uploading. The lack of digital uploading was the biggest gripe I had about my (now stolen) MD player/recorder. Lack of recording is the number one reason I’m probably not going to get an iPod.
now that is fantastic. i’ve had my currentl mini-disk player for years now and it’s something like this which i have been waiting for, havn’t heard anything about it until now.
i think i might wait a while before getting one, let them evolove a bit first 🙂
long live MD
45 hours … that’s one heck of a lot of concert bootlegs. 🙂
Matt, did you notice that this doesn’t have a mic in either? I’m really curious as to why Sony would remove that capability from their hardware. :confused:
Sony HiMD with mic-in. That’ll be mine soon. 🙂
Nice, that’s the same price as a Mini too.
I’ve been looking at these HiMD’s. I am a musician and want to use them for recording my own music. By all accounts they are actually better than the DAT recorders. But what I have discovered after talking to Sony is that as a result of their concerns about music piracy they have made it impossible to download *editable* files to the PC without having to unnecessarily run the data through the soundcard. I am currently trying to find if there is a way round this – funnily enough the techie at Sony told me there was but the people he referred me to denied it – probably worrying that I was trying to catch them out. This type of business strategy by Sony really pisses me off.
