And one by > one, I'm converting people I know to the format. :) Much the same here... you can get MD players in high-street shops, even non-audio places have blank MDs, and I just bought some TDK colour ones at 6 for 5 (that's about $8.38), and I got a 10% student discount. I also just converted my brother... he's been looking at MP3 players for some time, until he realised that MD was just so much more practical, despite the recording time. 50 cheaper for a nice player, cheap media, large expansion capability, good quality. And he's got both a large CD collection and 5GB of MP3s with a broadband connection. To top it all off, out of the students I know in my lecture classes, loads of them have MD players. On an average day I see about 5 MD players, 0 MP3 players, 1 tape player, and 1 CD player. And of course, I use my MD with a tape adapter in my car, along with about 3 out of the 35 cars in my car park. So MD's far from dead... but I believe it would really take off if Sony allowed fast transfer of data, and automatic MP3 conversion. Firewire/USB, external drive functionality - drag and drop anything you wanted. That would make me shell out for another 200 player. My 17.50 (damn sight more rambling than $0.02! :)) -Rich - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Fw: Vaio
Thanks for the reply! > My experince with Vios (never been stupid enough to buy one myself, but I > have sold them, and I have friends who have bought them) proves only that > they are fragile crap. How fragile is 'fragile'? Do you mean breaks sitting on a desk or carrying in a laptop bag, or breaks slung over your shoulder or in luggage? > I'm sure there will be many people here who will say how they have had tons > of Sony products with no problems but in advance I will say that I doubt > either the amount of experience they have actually had with Sony stuff, or > thier definition of "problem". I do have to say that all of my Sony TVs, my original Walkman, Discman, and my new R900, Sony stereos and my brother's Clie and Discmans have all behaved impeccably. But then, laptops are a different story. > For a better product all around, go here: > > http://www.apple.com/powerbook/ > > There uses to be a direct comparison to a Vaio here, but I don't know if > it's still there. I would love a Powerbook, but I do too much work that's tied to Windows (C++ and Delphi programming, and game development for the platform) to change. Ah, if only... (*dreams of a G4 cube and a titanium Powerbook*). Thanks for your response... anyone else? -Rich - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Yeah, I've got it (on CD). It's great - go to www.cd-wow.com, Amazon, Audiostreet, or even to (God forbid) a shop and get it - well worth the money. -Rich - Original Message - From: Stuart Howlette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: MD: Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon > Has anyone got this album?

MD: Fw: Vaio
My sincerest apologies - I hate Outhouse Express. Hi! I've been thinking about getting hold of a notebook, and as a lot of you will no doubt have experience with Sony products I wondered if anyone here had any opinions on Vaios (especially the high-end FX10*s). To tie it to MD somewhat, it appears that there's a control panel or similar in Sony's provided software to do MD recording... anyone know anything about that?
