Whoa, I almost forgot about MD players, most people seem to have iPods and other MP3 players nowadays. What are the specifications of this player?
Here are some specs from Minidisc.org - PC/Mac compatibility akin to the MZ-M10/100. - High Definition Digital Amp. - Possible full USB2.0 compliance, which is somewhat impossible due to a limitation of the hardware/disc. - The only Hi-MD recording unit that will be released this year, possibly the last ever created. - An option to keep manual record settings ON even when the unit is off, instead of the unit automatically resorting to Automatic Gain Control (AGC) when the unit is powered off and on. - An option to turn off auto-track mark. - Other additions that will make live recording much more intuitive. - Cost will hover around $275-325USD (349Euro) at debut. - Line in, mic in, headphone out, 5mW output and 6-band EQ. - Aluminium body. - Easy and nonrestrictive upload of any recorded tracks due to advancements in Sonicstage 3.4, which it will ship with. - Adjustable mic sensitivity (as the levels are clearly displayed via unit). - Ability to charge via USB, like second generation Hi-MD units. - Ability to record in all of the new ATRAC3plus bitrates, e.g. 192kbps + 352kbps and PCM (wav) - OLED display (clearly displayed on picture). - Uses NiMH gumstick battery with high possibility of AA-battery addon pack for enhanced battery life.
