Anyone have a sony mz-m200 or mz-rh1?

hey guys,

i haven't posted around here in years, but i have an important, yet simple favor to ask...i know of no better place to find help than head-fi.

is there anyone around the li/ny area that has either one of these md players?

i have a recording of my personal music on an MD disc that i would like to transfer to my computer, but my mz-nh1 can only transfer Hi-MD recordings. if you're in the li area and can let me use your player for literally 2 minutes to transfer 2 files, i will be forever grateful. we can meet up at a dunkin donuts or something, and coffee will be on me.

thanks in advance.

I'm only posting to say I'm unable to help you out ATM, but I'll ask at my job if anyone owns a Hi-MD minidisk player. If I can help, I will. I'll let you know in around 2 days, since I return to work tomorrow night. As you can tell I'm in NYC (Queens Village, not too far from you), so it's not a big deal for me, so wish me luck.

ah, headfi to the rescue!

thanks man.

as i mentioned, despite the fact that i have a hi-md player (mz-nh1,) this is not of the two NEWER players that i did not know about when i bought the mz-nh1 to record music.

there are only two md players that can transfer hi-md recordings AND original MD recordings (my two recordings are of course on original MD disks, that i made without realizing my mz-nh1 would be unable to transfer it...i can't even transfer my OWN music to my computer...now i know why people say sony killed their own minidisc technology.)

only the m200 or the mz-rh1 can make this transfer. these are the only two md players capable of transferring original MD disks to the computer.

i would literally need it for one day, and i have two songs i have composed that i need to transfer. it will take me 5 minutes.

going forward, i will make sure i only record new music on Hi-MD disks, which my mz-nh1 will have no problem transferring to my computer. And in all likelihood, i will be purchasing the mz-rh1 in the near future.

thanks for looking into this for me man...if you can help me out i will REALLY appreciate it!

and i will be willing to meet you at your convenience, since you're doing me the favor.

good luck!

I'll ask tonight @work and post accordingly tomorrow to let you know. As for the model, I'd have to just go w/a general question. Most of my co-workers would only know it's a mini-disk player/recorder, and that's all. I'm not a total tech-head, but most of them are pretty much oblivious.

But, I'll post in the morn so you'll know.

Bought a new MZ-N1 for less than an iPod classic which I've just taken out of the box to record a complete cycle of Russian String Quartet music without reading the instructions. It's that easy

Not sure what you're asking about the MZ-N1. Isn't it easier to send your MD of music to someone to transfer it for you? I don't live anywhere near the USA so can't help there.

Btw -there are a few Japanese import Onkyo Hi-MD players including the FX105 and older MD133 which can do Hi-MD and MD read/record on a deck. I love my MZ-N1 already that it's so tempting to get one of these, if the voltage differences weren't such a problem.

Imho, the conventional 'legacy' mini-disc is such a cheap and easy option, it's hard to pass up on as long as you don't buy a primitive MD player which recorded at the lowly MP3 128kB/s transfer rate. The later 1999-2004 era MD players attained the ATRAC standard and the Sony MZ-N1's Linear recording algorithm makes it one of the best portable audiophile players on the market! Well, it probably is the ONLY mini-disc player on the market still

It just dawned on me what you are talking about lol.

I checked my mini-disc player, and it's actually a Sony MZ-RH1. All those anonymous model numbers don't help.

Btw - someone is selling one for £150 on the forum here (second-hand). I bought mine new for that price, but I'm special

Such a gorgeous portable player. As you're a musician, you really should treat yourself and get one of the best digital recorders out there.
