MD: Target
Speaking of drug testers, I just noticed that Target has two different PC-Link-equipped portables for sale. They've been selling blank discs for several years and in fact just added Maxell and Memorex after previously only stocking Sony. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MD: What's up with Best Buy !

Even half the Circuit City folks I talk to have no clue. These are all stores that inspect potential employees' urine. I've learned that while businesses that do not drug test _may_ get stupid, obnoxious employees, businesses that do drug test _always_ get stupid, obnoxious employees. It seems to have something to do with the mindset (or lack thereof) that allows one to submit to such degradation. It seems to be getting worse the longer the U.S. economy does well and more and more people are refusing to submit to testing for employment. The truly talented are working in better jobs, everyone else is working for Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Why does Sony not have earbuds on US models?

I don't know if american headphones are built differently, but riding Hamburg's subway I'm always amazed at how loud people can turn their earbuds and NOT have their eyes come out bleeding. I tried and turned my own volume up until it started to hurt, but when I took my earbuds out I could hear nothing. So what does this tell us ? Buy stock in hearing-aid companies. That's terrifying! I prefer earbuds simply because it's physically impossible for me to annoy others with them. I can't imagine the pressure those people are putting on their eardrums! - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As someone who would prefer to ride public transit but can't deal with the people, I think Americans prefer headphones to earbuds because earbuds can't be heard by others but headphones can ruin the morning for an entire busload of strangers. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Digital CD-MD-Amp passthrough
I think you could do a simple test to determine if your MD unit is passing an unaltered digital signal or not, assuming you have DTS capability. Put a DTS CD in your CD player, pass the signal through your MD recorder, then attempt to decode the DTS signal after it's been through the MD unit. If it works, you're getting a pure signal. If it doesn't, you're not. (Haven't tried this yet myself.) - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As far as I know, the only unit that cannot play mono discs is the original home unit, the MDS-101. To my surprise, even the original two-ton Walkman recorder MZ-1 will happily play mono, even though it's either the same generation or older than the MDS-101. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Cheap solution for cd player deck or portable
I'm looking for a cheap solution for a cd player deck or portable that _WILL_ play cd-rw and cd-r that has a optical output as well. I want to buy one at a local consumer store (best buy, circut city, good guys, etc). Several months back I got a Sony CDP-CD335 at Circuit City for, if I remember correctly, $140. It's a five-disc carousel that does exactly what you ask. No regrets. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
