I love this thing. I don't see why you wouldn't want one aside from the price...

I have one. It's really cool. I copied all of my old cassettes on MD. Now I need only about a quarter of the space. And I can play them without any loss of quality.

i bought one about 18 months ago and it completely changed my life-the sound quality is superb, you can make your own little compilations that just sound superior to tape, and they're so compact and cute-minidiscs to buy are dirt cheap and within a coiuple of months id made my money back with copied albums off friends that i was going to buy. they are fantastic.
now sony are doing a line in portable long play md recorders-you can get something like 3hrs on one 74 min disc. and they have a built in tuner so you can md direct from the radio-genius....

recording from vinyl or tape-the md seems to almost clean up the sound...anyone else found that??

no, i don't think it's a clean up. i think it sounds cleaner because of the compression of the md system.

My Mini Disc recorder can put 5 hours on one MD. Or 3 hours of sound that cd quality (not quite, but you can't tell the difference)...

If you take a 74 min MD, I only know the following formats:
Normal: 74 min Mono: 2 x 74 min LongPlay (Sony only): 4 x 74 min

mine doesn't support it either. but i found out that there are two longplay modes
LP2: nearly same quality as SP, compared to mp3, it would be 44.1 kHz and 192 kBit/sec.
LP4: works with joint-stereo (it stores only left channel and the difference of left-right), compared to mp3, it would be 44.1 kHz and 64 kBit/sec (which is very lousy)

My MD has the LP2 and LP4 and in LP2 you can't tell it isn't cd quality. But you can also have different track at different speeds.I could have one in normal stereo and the next in LP2. Quite Nifty...
