Shane, what unit were you describing? The message was very good, only I was
unable to find what you described.

Subject: Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback
Hey there, Will and all. Well, the unit is quite small, and it has
several recording modes, both stereo and mono. The stereo and one of the
mono settings save their files as Windows Media Audio, and
the other two mono modes save their recordings in the proprietary DSS
format. All the modes sound quite good. The length of the recording time
is as follows, approximately: High-quality stereo, 1HR
10MN; standard stereo 2HR 20MN; High Quality Mono 4HR 40MN; standard Mono
10HR; and low quality mono 22HR. I use mine all the time. The menus all
default to there normal setting after
you've used them, so there is only a little bit of memorization in order
to operate the unit. Battery life is very nice; and it comes with a USB
docking cradle, so you do not necessarily need the USB cord,
if you don't want to use it. Also, it can be used as a USB microphone and
a USB speaker, which can be good if you are using dictation software such
as Dragon of ViaVoice. It also has voice
activated recording and mic sensativity selections. On playback, it comes
with some different noise cancellation settings. The buttons are fairly
big, for the most part, and the speaker sounds pretty
good. The ear buds that come with the unit are very decent, and it even
comes with a carry-case that is cool, too. It uses two tripple A
batteries, and it has a headphone input, 3.5MM and a mic input,
also 3.5MM. That is the standard MINI stereo plug, in case I got the
millimeters wrong. There you have some of the more useful features, and
the price tag is around US $149, but it can be found on
the internet a little cheaper. Sometime in the not-too-distant future, I
may do a review of this little recorder. I trust this information is
helpful to the list.
