Yes, I think intuitively one would expect the machine would automatically
record at the end of any previously recorded section - hey, it's Minidisc so
it you wanted to move a later recording to the start you could easily do so,
and if you eanted to erase an earlier recording that's easy too, both
through the edit menu.
For those that can't see the problem with end-search, basically all other
portables and all decks don't have it because they automatically record at
the end of any previous material on the disc, which like I say above is what
I believe the average user would expect (especially if they're used to other
MD hardware).
I take the point about the mindset being taken from tape possibly explaining
end-search, but whilst that might explain the presence of this mis-feature
(I love that erm) on the MZ-R1, it doesn't explain it on later models.

Maybe not, but you will if you don't remember to press END SEARCH,
especially if you record for 15 minutes, listen to the beginging of the
recording, or take the disk out to check it and put it back and forget
to push END SEARCH. You will miss your previous recording. Most
sensible recorders do that automatically, but oh no,not Sony.
