Does this MD have the possibility of recording with a ?

Having to ask my son for a gift at the time was the only way I could get it. The recording is possible if you connect your microphone to the line-in jack of your minidisc recorder.

I have been wondering whether or not this uses the same disc as the Sony Net MD Walkman MZ-D1 ?

The players of all mini disc players can read all mini discs. A wide range of ages and abilities Through the ages. Some formats can be used by more than one song. Discs are universal, however, so all players will be able to play them. A. & B. The product can be reused up to one

What is the purpose of keeping them on the market? A generation ago, they were replaced by the iPod and Zune. ?

I had to buy another one if I only had a recording of my late spouse's voice on one of these devices, I might be tempted to get one of these. br>I realize this is a contrived answer, but let's leave it at that. The article does however highlight why it was a bad idea for the consumer from the beginning.

MP3 players are not the only option
4/5

Considering getting an MP3 player for my 30-inch screen is something I have been considering for a while now Ride a bike for 40 miles. After a while, I was tired of carrying around a portable CD player, so I decided it was time to start over. This little gem caught my eye at Target while I was looking at MP3 players. This was around the time when 1 GB players were one- hundred dollars at the time, these were around the $100 mark This number is a hundred The prices for these are now around fifty bucks on the internet. In fact, I talked myself into getting a Sony Psyc MiniDisk walkman because I was so intrigued. With the player, you can listen to very clear and good sound, and you won't skip any disks when you hit The only time I have experienced a skip was when I tripped and fell when jogging occasionally. You barely notice it strapped to your arm because it is so light and small. There is also an arm strap where you can carry an extra minidisk. Even for the cheap Dollar General brand of batteries I use, I get an extremely long battery life. The battery drains more quickly when you transfer music from your computer to the minidisk, as I mentioned in another post. As an example The batteries had to be replaced after I had made four disks. Just keep a few batteries on hand while you are making them or getting refilled It is very easy to create a disk from scratch, and you can choose the bit rate of Less songs will fit on the minidisk with a higher bit rate. It is possible to get between 2 and 5 hours of music on the disk, depending on how expensive the disk is. Considering the sound quality is not as good as I had hoped, the three hour rate has been set. As a result, I can choose from an extensive list of music, without sacrificing any Only two of its drawbacks are that it doesn't play video or podcasts, and audiobooks take two or three disks to store. Those who are not interested in this aren't interested in it The Mp3 players are now so cheap that most stores do not carry them anymore. In conclusion, for less than a hundred dollars you can get a music and video player with 2gb of storage. Still, I've fallen in love with mine and will continue to use it, until it breaks. This is a very good sounding device that's easy to use, lightweight, and also easy to transport. Purchasing this product will be a great experience for you.

It's an awesome state to live in
5/5

My husband and I have used MD for over 11 years, and we also have an MP3 player. MD is excellent for listening to music. Its sound quality is better than an MP3 player. You can change batteries, they last 56 hours, discs are less than a dollar, they can be reused over 1 million times, I have discs made 11 years ago that still sound great, the software has even developed enough that you can add just one song, or delete It features speakers with bass and treble. The LP2 mode is two hours and forty minutes, making it perfect for creating My portables have 4 LP4s, and my home unit has an SP10 portable, which is perfect for talk radio, and the LP4 mode is over five hours. All my portables and home unit have the SP10 mode. A USB cable is used to connect it to the computer, which is another reason I will continue buying this item for This is perfect for musicians who want to learn When you stop it, it starts from there, not at the beginning of the song, and you can fast forward and rewind easily. That is awesome, I really like Mini Discs. There are so many uses, including playing New Age music on repeat at night while you sleep, and when you wake you can hear the soft music that you started with, you can also download talk radio to listen to, there are also units that record over an optic cable, Make sure that you are distinct, selective, MD is your friend!.

I am a decent player, level medium
3/5

Sony has not seen much success with this format in the US, so it is just one more format their company has failed to capitalize on. To listen to professional voice work produced for our company by those in Europe and Australia, we purchased this device. While this format is more popular in certain parts of the world, It is nearly impossible to find MiniDisc equipment and supplies in the United States.

I would say that the biggest challenge with MiniDisc is that it does not have the ability to play digital audio. A CD is a mechanical device with moving parts that spins. There is also an increase in the possibility of skipping and motor failure with this, aside from using more power. While the MiniDisc is bulkier and weighs more than modern music players like the iPod, its capacity is smaller and its data storage is limited. In case you find yourself needing a MiniDisc player, this one should do the trick. In case you plan on buying a device to store digital music, pictures, or videos, skip this device and invest in a more modern option.

Now that I have access to my mini disc recordings, I can listen to them. No one ever tells you a player like this Buying this product is a wise decision.

It is a Walkman with a MiniDisc

I had purchased it for a Christmas gift to replace an old minidisc player, but didn't think of ordering until the very Despite my certainty that it would not arrive in time for Christmas, I was okay with the situation. Quite to my amazement, it showed up on Christmas Eve!.

Unlike an MP3 player, this is not a music player
3/5

The device is not an MP3 player, as is commonly believed. There is only a proprietary format supported by this device. MP3 music will be converted to the proprietary PC desktop format with the software Additionally, it allows CDs to be ripped to proprietary formats It's still an exclusive format, though. Moreover, after you have gone to the trouble and effort of constructing one of the miniature videos, it is worth The code is only available on Sony products for use with CDs. The next MP3 player you buy should be based on an MP3 player rather than a Sony lock Take a look at your mini They are useless as well as the data stored on them. To convert all your songs, you will have to go through them. The software can be run only if you are logged on to the administrator account as well, which is more frustrating. As a result of Sony's roots- What are your thoughts on kit fiascos? My daughter has to ask permission to be logged into the computer each time she wants to make a new disk since the unit was purchased for her. Finally, my daughter decided that the miniature really didn't appeal to her she no longer likes it The MP3 player had to be a flash memory player and read disk format. In order to keep in touch, we got The conversion process had to be repeated for all of her songs. Sansa is a good purchase (We are pleased with it).
