The process above is basically stealing a musical product. If everyone did it, the number of CDs that were bought would plummet, and we'd eventually have few bands left. If you don't like the "ethics" question, then what about the practical questions? - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: MD: CD to MD and $10 coupons...
Ok, so I will buy them again on Mr. Swap for $1-$3 and will have the right to keep the songs... Anyway, it will be a good thing because my wife don't use MD but only CD... I will erase stuff I don't like yet and keep only what I will be able to buy on CD... I don't want to have any trouble... Regards, Pierre. P.S.

I still have 30 CDs here but at least I made a lot of money with those CDs and I have all my favorites songs on MDs too !!! For the coupons now... Just a few words to tell you that Buy It Online removed the $15 OFF coupons because they were loosing too much money with them ! However, they just release a lot of $10 OFF any $30 order and I made some $30 (even) minidisc packs... In a few days, sorry but I'm on vacation now it's my wife birthday and I'm going with her in a nice small resort on a small island where we will enjoy the beautiful nature and emerald water... But after this small vacation, I will do some MD kits for $30 too !!! But not, you can take advantage of the MD Pack for $30 ( I sell some at lost...). I'm really sorry for the $15 coupons, they were suppose to be available until the end of the month but they removed it before unfortunately...

Pierre Forest. James Jarvie wrote: Interesting. I kind of agree though. I have over 1700 CDs, so I can't just go MD in the car (where I currently do most of my listening). That's why I would want a MD/CD combo head unit (no need for, or interest in changers). Also, a portie MD is much more manageable than a portie CD player. Why don't you transfer your CD's to MD? If you have a CD writer in your computer, you can also make a copy of your CD and then sell the original on eBay. Just a thought. With the discount coupons, you can get 80 minute MDs for less then $1.40 (save even more if you get 74 minute MDs). The CDRs are only about fifty cents a piece. One word of advice, though, for anyone planning to use a portie MD in the car. I love my MT-15; but for use in the car, the clamshell is a real pain (not to mention a dangerous situation). If I had to do it over again, I'd get a slot-in loader. I see your point, but it is getting harder and harder to find slot in designs. I guess the clam shell design is probably cheaper to make. Also, you can probably make a thinner unit using the clam shell design. I prefer slot in, but I always have this fear that some day I'm going to have an Md eaten. This actually happened to me with the original Sony MZ-1. The slot in mechanism in that unit is actual motorized. One time a disc went in, but would not eject. It was under warranty, but it still took Sony forever to get it back to me. When they finally did, it would not record (I didn't have that problem when it was sent in!!). It had to go back to Sony a second time. In all it took me about 2 and a half months to finally get the unit back. But it worked from then on. Too back you can't upgrade the MZ-1 to ATRAC 4 or more. It is a large, heavy, but strong unit. James (who is really enjoying his compilation MDs while driving) Me too!
