Customer reviews

SO MANY BIG THINGS WITH THIS ONE LITTLE ITEM by .. JON STRICKLAND (Smithfield, NC United States)
I use my Sony MZ-NHF800 Hi-MD Minidisc Walkman to record audio onto this item. With technology that has been created regarding MP3s and WAV files and the like, there is so much that you can now do with HI-MD recording onto 1 GB discs!




When using the adequate gear, including the 1 GB minidisk, one can gain access to files, ranging from I-Tunes to Rhapsody to Windows Media Player. For those who have thought of giving up on MD, I say, "Don't do it! Especially the HI-MD!" There are ways you can now reproduce your CDs without that seemingly incompatible, obsolete ATRAC/SONIC STAGE software!



There are companies that have come out with driver updates and products that have made this 1 GB minidisk recording compatible with Windows Vista.



In effect, I continue to find ways to record onto the 1 GB MD and always look forward to the next developments as they arise.

Sony MiniDisk by .. Jorge E. Cardona ()
This I consider an good product, but what I like to make enfansis is in the outstanding service I got from Amazon and its delivery system, excellent. " 10 Stars ". Keep it up.

Hi-MD 1GB MiniDisc is misleading by .. S Sifu ()
The product overall is good. You can store mp3 and pcm files. The only 2 problems I have with this player is that the files are hidden inside Sony's proprietary file system and you cannot upload files twice from the player. The second time it deletes the file from your disc. Beware of Sony's DRM. If you use it for recording interviews and want to convert it to wave files you will be good with the first upload but the second upload deletes your interview and you wouldn't know it until you try to open it again.



Pro: Good sound, nice design, great idea and finally support for MP3 (took Sony long enough)



Con: Stupid DRM, uses proprietary file system that hides your files



Stay away from Hi-MD players until you find a way to extract the files without it being deleted.

Fantastic Product! by .. Basil's dad (Vermont, USA)
I love this minisisc. It holds an incredible amount of songs--the equivolent of an I-pod mini-- and the ease of use of my minidisc recorder is great.
