sorry to keep this OT thread going, i'm a fan of my portable MD and thought Sony's NetMD stuff was pants but found a cool (and cheap!) product that allows you to get ripped/downloaded/streaming audio from your PC to MD without having to upgrade your MD
an aussie company xitel produces a USB device allowing you to record from your PC direct to your mindisc recorder and its compatible with all recording decks. You plug it in, load up the audio files you want to record from your player of choice and hit record. i think the MDPort-DG2 sells for about $50 USD, and Sony sell their products rebadged at an inflated price too! http://www.xitel.com/ cheers Dang (not a sales rep for xitel) ----- Original Message ----- > > One cautionary word of advice though.
