[access-uk] Re: Sony MZB100

Hi Sunil.

£600! Goodness, I'm looking for something around £200. Not got the cash for anything more expensive Sunil. I'd need to ask Access to Work to pay for that and I'm not sure if it is at all necessary for me to record such high quality material. Thanks for the advice anyway.

Best wishes.
Andy

There's a machine that records to a flash card they use at the BBC made by Narva or someone? Its a similar name but I can't remember it. Comes in two sizes one fairly big one that you can hang over your shoulder strap weighing in at about fifteen hundred quid and a smaller handheld one that costs about six hundred. Can't remember sizes or much more about the spec but its top quality stuff maybe someone else remembers the correct name of the make.

I have a simiular requirement in that the quality of the recording must be good to start with. Is there anything o the market that records to flash card memory? My Bookcourier does this and records to WAV but the internal microphone and the fact that the software is unreliable in that area makes in unusable.

I treid using a minidisc recorder and while the quality was good, the discs were very fiddly and it was so small that eventually somebody lost it.

Hi Ray.

It's surprising how much the costs vary around the country eh?
Nevertheless,  it's still quite expensive at £239 and the only means of
transferring data to my computer, from this device, is via line-in.

It's a pity it did not have a usb connection, so that I could simply copy
files from the device to my computer.

I believe that some mp3 devices can do this, but I'm still wanting good
quality sound recordings, for interviews, and a method of editing these from
the device, wherein I can hear the sound via internal speakers.

The MZ B100 'so has quite large buttons which would make pausing, rewinding
and playing the device easier for tactile dependant users and is probably
the device that I'll end up purchasing. I just wish that I could hear more
from workers who use a different method of recording, saving and editing
audio files.

Best wishes.
Andy

Hi Andy.

The best price I've seen thus far for the MZ B100 is at SuperFi.

Try taking a look at:

http://www.superfi.co.uk/index.cfm/page/moreinfo.cfm/Product_ID/1653

You might try entering MZ B100 in Google too and see what that
comes up with.

HTH.

Hi all.

The Sony MZB100 has been recommended by a number of visually
impaired people
and I am thinking seriously of purchasing one for my work.  Can
anyone
advise me of the cost of this device and where it may be
purchased.  I'd
particularly welcome any additional information regarding it's
use.


Best wishes.
