I would have taken the unit to the point of purchase and have them replace it, and let them deal with Sharp. Absolutely, and if they don't sort it out, then you quote the sale of goods act 1977 (as amended) and ask for a refund. Check the Watchdog website, it has guides for this sort of thing: I think it is www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog or go to bbc.co.uk and search for it. Good luck!!!

Re: MD: The future of minidisc. (was Best buy, phasing out MD equipm
That said, I think in the long term, Minidisc is doomed. As soon as someone comes up with a personal MP3 player with integrated IBM Microdrive, I think MP3 will have found its 'killer player'. Afterall, it'll be *tiny* with massive capacity. In fact, does anyone know this hasn't happened already? (And please nobody point out that you *can* slot a Microdrive into some PDAs, and then use it to play MP3s. Thats clearly not what I meant) Robin. I sometimes wonder that nobody seems to have come out with an MD drive for computers. At least not that I've heard of. I think that if MDs were used for things other than music, then their advantages (i.e. cheaper/higher quality than MP3, portability, the way they don't have tape to jam, etc) may become more apparent to people. Alas, I guess with the proliferation of Jaz and Zip drives, it is hard to sell the media as a mega-floppy. The record industry wouldn't be happy about it either I suppose, but it is a long time since I've heard of them being happy about anything they didn't think of.

Re: MD: MD recorder with microphone input
I use a Sony MZ-R900 with a stereo condenser mic, with very good (and stereo) results for recording my music practice. This may not meet the original writer's criteria as it is a "walkman" style recorder. For me that is an advantage, having it so portable.
