Just picked one of these up on fb. Do you record all your music onto the minidisc through the player always? Or can you download music off the internet and burn it like a cd?
Hey @svisium ! This specific model would require "real-time" recording via the line in (optical or analog). If you want to burn mp3s or purchased/downloaded music using software (Web MiniDisc Pro), then you'll want a NetMD-capable model. See the list at the Wiki (www.minidisc.wiki/equipment/sorting/netmd-portable) - hop in their Discord for recommendations and answers to your questions!
Hi - sorry I didn't see this! For all practical purposes, there's not a real difference if you're using a high-quality source and an optical connection to record in real-time. Variables would be if you were using a standard line-in vs. optical. For NetMD, it can come down to the mode (SP/LP2/LP4 - not to mention Hi-MD modes), but most people seem to agree that SP is great and LP2 is "just as good" or "good enough". The big bonus of NetMD being the ability to title using your PC and rearrange things via drag and drop.
