Title: Great MD portable recorder for those new to MiniDiscs!
Review: After extensive research between a portable MP3 and MD players. I decided to go with the MD format for its non-linear recording (random access like CD's, unlike DAT & cassettes-"linear recording"), titling the disc and track w/ names, very compact size, which also helps in preventing skips, and it's relatively long battery life. After careful consideration, I found that MP3's were too expensive per minute of music. While the price of RAM flash cards are dropping they're no where close to the price of blank MDs. 1 MD-74min($4) + MD player($200)=$220 for 300min or near CD quality, however MP3 player ($140) + 32MB RAM ($80)=$220 for 100min of better than FM stereo quality. Also there's no limit on the number of MDs you can use and archive for your collection.
