Well guys, you got me there. I really love my MDs, and I play them in my car
whenever I can. But I also have CD ROM burner on the PC, and CD Changers in
both my car and van. So, I really don't have a good reason, except little sense
that I bought the Pioneer on a whim and thought it could be a great item to link
to my minidisc player and transfer the data to CD. No, I don't use optical on
the PC's burner.. yes I do have the new SB Live. I know, I know. <grins>
Primarily the reason I have the MD recorders is to record the concerts in my
area. So, I save the recorder's life span by transferring the audio to the PC
for editing, or to CD for a duplicate master.
Looks like I should'a not bought the Pioneer Audio CDR. So I guess its gonna be
a big paperweight until prices on the CDDA drop to where they're more in line
with the CDR media.
Thanks for the all replies guys.
