I also can report that the PS2 is great as an optical-out source for recording MDs. I was overjoyed to find that my PS2 had a more practical use than vegeing out with games! I've also found that the PS2 seems to read audio CDs better, without skips etc., than some CD players - which is reassuring when you're copying whole CDs without monitoring them.
Talking about CD-skips when recording MDs... I recently thought of a quick check to see if the MD you recorded has any skips or glitches from the CD source. I found that every skip during a recording created an extra track mark, so the number of tracks on the MD additional to the number on the CD source would tell me straight-away how many problem areas you had to correct (cleaning CD, then deleting and re-recording certain tracks, etc...). I found this useful if I don't have time to listen through a newly recorded MD. Can anyone else confirm that this always works? >I'm considering buying a Playstation 2; as I don't have a CD player with >optical out (and am happy with the one I've got, which has no digital out), >would the PS2 be suitable for recording digitally to MD?
