How many members own a MiniDisc player/recorder?

[Elite-ist]

Hi Pat,

I see you are pursuing one of your 2012 goals. I know there are more Tapeheads out there, besides the ones already involved in your Traveling Mix MD, who have MiniDisc machines. I will be creating more mindisc mixes in 2012: yours being the first. The minidisc you made for me is a great collection of tunes, I would otherwise not have. The recording was excellent.

[Glantoir]

Thanks Nando.
2012 might be the year the dust gets blown of some units that have been put to graze prematurely!

[Elite-ist]

I was one of those who had a MiniDisc recorder collecting dust until your call came out for interest in a Traveling MiniDisc project.

Nando.

[Glantoir]

I have to admit mine collected some dust too until I discovered how good vinyl recordings can sound using SP mode and the analog inputs on a md player.

[ke4mcl]

got like 4 i think. i know where 2 are right now that work 100%. just did a transfer of MD to CD for somebody and my tascam unit is actually inline in my work system.

[Dazen1]

I have never owned any MD units but the format is intriguing enough for me to follow all the talk around here.

I am particularly enjoying Pat's Travelling MiniDisc (http://www.tapeheads.net/showthread.php?t=14072) project.

[close652]

Actually I own four :)

[retrokeeper]

I have 2 component decks and 4 portables...a good healthy supply of blank disc, just need to incorporate them into the grand scheme of things listenable here in the Mantuary!! Rob

[Web Police]

I have 4 component MD decks and 5 MD portable devices and a bunch of MD Blanks. Now all I need is more time to record and listen. *grin*

[vinyl_junkie_1620]

I only have a small portable recorder now, can't remember the model number off hand but I hacked it to have the Type-R ATRAC codec so now recordings sound not too bad.

Back in the day I used to have a nice mid end Sony MD deck which I used to record everything on to and a portable for on the go but really no use for the deck now so got rid of it ages ago.

The portable still comes in handy as I also like to make music so I can use the portable for field recordings or when I'm round a friends house to take samples of things where audio quality isn't always critical.
I still also some times use it on the go.

A solid state recorder would be great but I say if it ain't broke don't fix it

[juncers]

Love the format. 1 full size recorder and about 10 portables along with a few thousand minidiscs.

*bigthumbup*The tiny portables can do nearly everything with the same quality or better than some decks can with the EXCEPTIONS of Titleing & general playback thru a hi-fi stereo system. The portables with their 1/8" headphone jack out connection for the 1/8 to RCA to the Amp/Receiver, these jack out connections on these portables are not as Clean sounding in my opinion as the regular dedicated RCA out connections of a standard MD deck.

These portable units, especially those close to the turn of the century, 1999, 2000,2001,2002 etc have among the most advanced versions of ATRAC(1)version_________.
The recording quality on these portables is superb, even if it is much more difficult to Edit/Erase/Move/Divide/Combine tracks because of the tiny buttons and multiple function buttons/knobs on the portables.
The LCD "VU" meters are outstanding, particularly on Sharps, but also Sony's too. You'll find that these portables will record better or at least on par with top of the line decks from circa 1997 and that is no small achievement. The sound is that good. You will need a home deck to really tell how good the recorded sound of the later portables really are because of the headphone jack out limits of the portables.
You can make superb in line recordings with a simple 1/8 stereo to twin RCA plug cable. Fits in your pocket. Go to a buddy's house and record his LP's or CD's or Tapes. Hook it up just as you would an old tape deck and set the VU meters and off you go, simply hit pause....
.........Only thing is that one must remember to hit STOP when finished and let the TOC flash and finish before opening....
.............................Some late Sony units complicate things by having the units PRESET to ERASE EXISTING MD's rather than recording from what is left in time unused on the disc.
Sony did this because people wanted to be able to erase previous material easily in an instant. You can get around this and change this but it requires one step.
These units do record amazingly well. You'll be surprised.
Portables will take forever to title songs and discs compared to a home deck with a remote.
Small size has portable advantage, but its recording capability on these '99 and later units is second to none.
The Sharp MD-MT200 will record as good as any TOTL deck, as it is one of the later MD portables with the most advanced version of Atrac.
You can digital copy a CD using the optical digital cable too, if you wish, but no need to because they really shine on the A/D conversion and late version of Atrac.
You can find these portables for next to nothing. ($20 range or less)
The added bonus is these later units also have supreme battery life.
One downside is that the MD-MT200 takes a special rechargeable batt that isn't too common, but it is easily found online for less than $8.
The MD-MT200 was never sold in USA to my knowledge and was avail in Europe when MP3 had taken over.

Bottom line: you'll need a proper home MD deck from circa 1997 or later for optimum enjoyment of playback thru your stereo system and for ease of title/edit/erase/divide ETC.
The later portables can do everything else EXTREMELY WELL, at least the SHARPS can, SONYS too if you don't mind pause before level changing on MICROPHONE RECORDINGS and the annoying Erase prev material function seen on late ones.

[Scorpion8]

One Sony MDS-JE510 player/recorder here, plus 4 or 5 of the NetMD Walkmans. And buttloads of blank MDs.

[Eminence1963]

3 home decks and 3 portables
And a boat load of blanks still sealed*bigthumbup*

[Akai man.]

I have three full sized decks, five portables and a couple of hundred blank discs.

Geoff.

[alxwz]

I honestly don't know how many I got. Probably about a dozen decks (among them 2 MD-CD units and the rare MDS-W1 double deck), and even more than a dozen portables of all kinds. No ES or QS deck, unfortunately, but at least for portables, I have a good selection from the very first one (MZ-1) up to the last one (MZ-RH1).

I'm looking for a working Denon DN-045R, btw.

Alex

P.S.: Oh, and I have four MD head units for my car. Those should be enough for a while. :)

[alxwz]

Some late Sony units complicate things by having the units PRESET to ERASE EXISTING MD's rather than recording from what is left in time unused on the disc.
Sony did this because people wanted to be able to erase previous material easily in an instant. You can get around this and change this but it requires one step.
To my knowledge, it's the other way round. The late Sony portables are preset to append music to the end, you can change that in the settings. At least mine came set up that way. The earlier units you alway had to press "end search" first.
Portables will take forever to title songs and discs compared to a home deck with a remote.
The best way for titling is getting a NetMD unit (any cheap one will do, as long as it's working correctly), plug it into your PC and use SonicStage (which otherwise sucks) for titling. I'd never do it any other way again. With some decks, you can also plug a PC keyboard directly into the deck.
You can also divide/combine from the PC with NetMD, but then your discs will be locked.

Finally, with NetMD you can also transfer songs to your discs from your PC or from CD to MD with your computer. But Sony put a lot of restrictions on it, the worst remaining one being that it's limited to (crappy, IMHO) 132 kbps LP2 (longplay) quality. NetMD could have been great. Sony blew it big time. A few years later they added another fail with Hi-MD, which could also have been great.

Sound quality wise, I absolutely concur with Nick Sunn.

I just got 2 home units (one at a time) in 1 week from my thrift store hunting, so now I have 2 Sony’s, an MDS-JE330 and an MDS-JB930.
These MD’s sound great! I had only barley heard of the format before it died out but didn't really know much about it.

I’ll read the thread on the traveling MD. I would like to get in on that but don’t know if it’s world wide or what.

No problem Jeff, you would be welcome to join in. The Traveling MD is in Europe for the next while, and then it goes to tcp100 in the US, you could tag on there if you like.

In the meantime you would be more than welcome to get involved in the MD exchange thread: ............ http://www.tapeheads.net/showthread.php?t=15668.

Also if any other member would like to do an MD exchange you would be more than welcome too.

[stereorob]

2 home units and one portible here.

[Glantoir]

Gosh Rob, I'm a bit surprised to see you here. *Hi5*
Would you use md equipment as much as your rtr gear?

[mfdgame]

I own countless MD players and recorders. In Japan it was as comon as CD players for quite a while. My best one for portable is the Sony MZ-RH1, for home the Denon DMD-1600AL, and for car the Nakamichi MD-45z. They all sound fantastic. Long live MD*bigthumbup*

[El Monte Slim]

I remember when they came to market, and the market was very "confused" with several competing formats. We had seen the introduction of the CD earlier, and most folks weren't ready to embrace yet another new format. The cost of MD hardware and blanks were pretty high, as well.

Personally, I had a lot going on in my life and embracing a new format wasn't one of them. I had vinyl, cassette, CD and RTR available to me, and MD just didn't make enough of an impact to enter my life.

Fast forward twenty-five years or so, and I found a near-pristine Sony MD deck lying on a shelf at my local GW, hiding amongst the VCRs. It was only $5.99 and it went home with me. It is a Sony MDS-JE320.

The deck actually had a blank in it, and I was able to pick up a box of blanks at my local Best Buy. It performs surprisingly well, and I've picked up four pre-recorded discs via eBay.

For me, it's an interesting footnote in Hi-Fi history. Several people that have visited in my "Stereo Den" find it interesting as well. But overall, in the "big picture" for me, it is a minor player compared to my RTR machines and tapes.

MD may be a victim of bad timing. Perhaps in a different timeframe, it could have been huge (here in the U.S.).

[R.Daneel]

Though it might come as a shock to someone, I don't have a single home deck at the moment. Several years ago I used MD stuff on a daily basis and sometimes for several hours every day. It was particularly useful as a recording tool in a live sound setup and I used several decks at that time. Owned a few of my own but foolishly sold them. I have owned several portables out of which I'd have to mention the excellent Sharp IM-DR420 which was their latest model and very fine by any standards. Also, the Sony MZ-RH910 which proved to be a disappointment in terms of sound quality. The old but reliable Sony MZ-R30 was much much better and was actually one of the better recorders I used. I measured a 89dB S/N ratio on the A/D converter of the R30 one time and to this day I think it was one of the better Sony machines. The only one I have now is the Sony MZ-NH1 which is the best sounding MD portable I've heard. I know this doesn't bode well for me but each one of these I bought new... I missed a lot of the fun, going out at Friday nights and theater shows when I was a college student. Last winter I was really close to getting a Sony MDS-JA50ES but sadly, the seller turned out to be a real disappointment so I didn't go through with it.

[Paspie]

I don't own one, and even though I am slightly interested in the format I have no plans to actually get hold of a deck anytime soon.

Hi everybody.

I'm new here and just joined Tapeheads today. I've been a avid reader of these forums for sometime and got the urge to join in the fun.

I'm a passionate fan of Sony full size minidisc decks and have been since 1997. I currently have 6 decks and use them everyday recording from CD's, cassettes made on my Yamaha 580SE with Dolby S (lovely sweet and warm sound on female vocals and acoustics by the way) and hifi FM tuner and Satilite radio.

Looking forward to sharing my knowledge and passion for this great invention which can kick-??? compared to CD's especially when capturing analog sources

1x Sony JA555ES
1x Sony JA50ES
2x Sony JB930
1x Sony JE780
1x Sony JE700

No portable devices.

I know their are a couple of threads already asking about the differences between decks and plan to enlighted you all with my years of using them with great success and not just quoting technical specs.

As a side not spelling isn't my best subject so sorry for any typos.

Glad to be part of your community.

Can you do a separate topic on the MDS-JA50ES and MDS-JA555ES? It would be very useful and greatly appreciated if you could do a comparison of the two decks.

Cheers!

[JaeTee]

I have two yellow Sony MZ-N505 units that I used to record DJ sets for the last decade and a half. MD is a great tool for that.

I have about 30 MDs, each with 3+ hours of me and my friends playing records at a club in St.Pete. :)

Glad I saw this thread... it reminded me that I need to put one of these in the car to take to the gym with me, along with a box of tapes!

[Glantoir]

I would have been a cassette fan from 1974 or so and the first pre-recorded tape I bought was ‘Old, New, Borrowed and Blue’ by Slade, followed by ‘Pin-Ups’ by David Bowie.
I spent many hours, as lots of other members (of a similar vintage) did, recording the hits of the day from radio on to a cheap mono cassette recorder.

As I got older and started working I started collecting vinyl as well. The beauty of cassette was, you could record your friends albums to build up your collection.

I would have gotten my first CD player around 1986 and then CD started slowly taking over as my main critical listening format.
In Ireland, back then, CD’s were twice the price of tape/vinyl so you would have to choose your purchases very carefully.

As I still had a cassette deck in my car, I would record my cds/vinyl to listen to while driving.

Then I got my first car with a CD player, soon after that I bought a CD burner and to add to this, my trusty old Sony cassette deck gave up the ghost.

So tapes (and vinyl too, I’m afraid) went out the window for a few years.

A friend at work owned a Sony portable MD player (can’t remember what model no. it was) and that would have been the first MD unit I had ever seen (this would have been about 2002)

I was impressed by how well it sounded, how compact it was and the facility to make live recordings by mic.
On another level it also reminded me of the old days using cassettes but with all those nice new editing features.

I went out and bought a brand new Sony MD JB-480 for myself and to be honest it sat collecting dust for a couple of years. I recorded some stuff from cds and the radio but that was about it.

I started listening to, and buying vinyl again a few years ago.
One day while surfing the net, someone mentioned on one of the audio related forums (no, I don’t think it was that one ;) )how nice vinyl sounded recorded to MiniDisc.
I tried it out and really liked the results. So that was that and I started using my recorder more and more.

I discovered tapeheads.net and found some other keen MD owners here, plus a wealth of information on the format.

The format is also a very nice way to exchange Mixes/Compilations with other like minded members.

So now, the circle is almost complete for me, because through using the MiniDisc format I am getting back to recording cassettes again!

[Scorpion8]

Just picked up another MD player, an early portable MZ-E40. I haven't laid my hands on it yet, as another TH'er in Anchorage, AK picked it up for me for when I travel up there next week. The TH's universe of family is a great bunch, and many kudos go out to Bob (rjag46) for being such a great guy!!!

[stereorob]

Gosh Rob, I'm a bit surprised to see you here. *Hi5*
Would you use md equipment as much as your rtr gear?

about 3 years ago i walked into a thrift and they had a standalone sony md home unit. i had never had one or heard one so i was curious about the format. it didnt have any discs, so it was priced $5 as-is. i had no discs eather. thus it got tossed into the infamous crapstack outback and forgotton for awile, then a little over a year ago, before i got the assfoot at AK, i noticed some people talking about MDs there, i placed a want ad in the bartertown section asking if anyone had a spare disc they could shoot me in the mail to try it. i got a overwhelming responce, (most of it negitive, of corse) but two members were willing to part with one free of charge! about 2 weeks later, i received a total of 10 discs, 2 still sealed, 8 already used., and a portible sony deck too! this was probubly one of the only positive things that ever happened for me at that hellish site. i thanked the guys that sent them and popped one in the deck, and i was really suprised how good they sounded. diffrent sounding than regular cds. i also discovered they were re-writable recording! then, about 3 months later, one of my stereo buddies got me a MD player for xmas. for a brief few months, i had fun with them, i used them to record some of my reels to play in the car via the portible with cassette adapter, and used them to re-master some of my older reels that were not sounding as good as they used to. then i kinda got bored with them, and for the most part, they were placed in the stereokrypt and forgotton and i went back to REEL sound. but lately, ive kinda had a bug up my ass and im probubly gunna start playing with them again soon! *bigthumbup*

[Glantoir]

Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll.
It was a pleasant surprise to see who actually owned MD units.
I would have let poll run for a bit longer if I had known there would be such interest.

[R.Daneel]

Does anybody have both the Sony MZ-NH1 and MZ-RH1 portable MD units? Service manuals show they have identical Atrac DSP as well as the ADC abd DAC section. This doesn't necessarily imply they sound identical but as far as portable units go, it really might. But I don't want to go ahead of myself so if someone has both, any comments on sound quality would be appreciated.

Antun,it sound like a case of 'paralysis by analysis'. go with the RH1 you really know its the one for you!

[alxwz]

Yes, I have both. I never noticed any difference in sound quality, but then, I didn't try too hard, anyway. No shoot-out here.

For me, the NH1 is one of the units I take with me. The RH1 is kept safely at home, because I don't have any recording jobs away from home, and I have the RH1 mainly for its unique capability of uploading SP recordings to the computer.

I'd love to get one of the player-only Hi-MD models with HD digital amp for the "out and about" job, since I never record anything on the road, and those players can take add-on AA battery packs (the NH1 and RH1 can't). But they're awfully hard to find.

Regards,
Alex

P.S.: Please note that besides said uploading capability, the RH1 can play MP3s natively (on Hi-MD media). The NH1 can't play MP3s. And the RH1 is said to have better MP3 playback than all other MP3-capable Hi-MD portables (which were intentionally crippled when it came to MP3 sound).

[R.Daneel]

Hey guys! I already have an MZ-NH1 and have been the proud owner since 2004. But this MZ-RH1 is driving me insane and if and when I do get, I will do measurements and review them both. If there is any difference between the two, it will be limited to playback only.

The 2nd generation units didn't just have a lousy mp3 playback, they had a lousy playback in general. The MZ-RH910 sounded dark, dry and dynamics was generally really poor. It had nothing to do with the 1st generation units.

[leeoverstreet]

Just now found this MD thread!

I bought a MZ-R30 portable MD Walkman in 1997 to use with a weekly college radio show I was doing at the time. We (myself and co-host) wanted something to do in field recording of interviews, etc. that sounded better than a portable cassette, and this little thing was practically magic. With an XLR-to-1/8" stereo adapter (which had a 90 degree connector to avoid too much torque on the jack) we were able to use a Shure SM58 to get really fantastic sounding remote recordings. Brought that home and copied it to the PC for editing. I love cassettes, but this was MILES better.

We also used it to make copies of songs to play on the air back when blank CDs were still relatively expensive, especially when you just needed something for quick temporary use. We eventually got a small A/C and battery powered Behringer portable mixer to use with it to record VERY nice multi-mic interviews out and about. I remember one particularly good band interview at a picnic table out behind a club that came off really well.

Eventually, we used it to record our show directly from the main board in the studio (far better than recording it at home from FM radio to VHS hi-fi), although that required a friend of mine to build a homemade signal level adapter, since the station main board was calibrated to a pro level +4dB and the MD was a standard consumer level 0dB device on input. Three MDs swapped at key moments covered the 3 hour show.

If I had one quibble with the little MZ-R30, it was that its automatic level control was slightly inadequate on very hot signals, and I mean VERY hot, and would yield a harsh, hard-limited signal. One could have used manual levels, but setting that was a pain and yielded actually too much dynamic range and required more processing on the PC later. Kind of hard to ask each random person on the street to scream as loud as they can to set levels. :-)

Other than that, which was honestly rare, the sound quality was wonderful. There is, of course, NO HISS. And on a live mic recording like for an interview, it was phenomenally crisp. Kinda makes me wanna get the thing cranked up and play with it some. I always was VERY happy that it had an adapter for using AA batteries in addition to the rechargeable Li-ion battery. Naturally that Li-ion died long ago, but with AA alkalines, it can go forever. Also has an A/C adapter. I think I only use the optical in once just to see how that went.

Looking back, I'd compare the sound quality to the very highest bitrate mp3 you can do (320kbps), which for most purposes and most ears is really great.

Now I'm feeling quite nostalgic, since I do miss the ol' radio show. ;-)

This won't be the permanent residing spot for my MJ-17D, but tonight I patched it into the dbx 400X to give it a test. I'm very impressed! I'll be keeping two MD decks within my system, so I can copy MD masters I create from one of the decks.

Just going through my heap of MDs this year, transfering to the PC at last, before something goes wrong. The discs seem to last well, had no errors yet, going back to '96 *hope*

Loved MD at the time, was like recording my own CDs before the average PC made that leap forward. Editing was brilliantly accurate after cassettes. Sound quality wasn't slushy at all (not like the lower end of rubbish MP3) but sometimes glitched when there was too much going on. A sudden noisy start to a track often confused the poor thing!
