Sony's new MZ-R900 allows you to turn end search OFF!!! Finally they are starting to understand? I hope the default is end search off. When does it come on the market? Does it have time and date stamp? I don't think they are going to set the default to off. It would be stupid... People would think 'hey what does this button do? Oh? I have to enable it! But actually enabeling it makes me press more buttons! I better leave it off!' Nah, you can't have that. Thus it ships enabled. This way the one and only, award winning, untouchable, indestructable, premium, exlusif and sexy "End Search" button can be kept. Face it, if they set the default to off, marketing will say, he, what does this button do. And so they remove it! But with it, the legend.

Unless they are going to offer it in the US version, I'm surprised that the 900 does not include a USB PC link.

MD: MD comes through
I took my MD to a music festival and recorded workshops with it and my homebrew mike. http://www.tir.com/~liteways/Mandolin.html#Microphone The only glitch I had was when I started to title one tune an instructor had played as an example. While I was titling it he started another example and I imediatiely wrote the title and pressed record. Damn Sony and there stupid refusal to get rid of that damnable END SEARCH button. Whoever disigned the END SEARCH button should be strung up by his petubies. After three years on using Sony R30 it still bites. I sure like the other features it has though. The time, date stamp is the cat's pajamas, and I like being able to record with either automatic leve setting or manual level setting. I wish the MD companies would concentrate on m improving one design, getting rid of END SEARCH, and lowering the prices so starving artists can afford these things. -- Jim Coon Not just another pretty mandolin picker. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] If Gibson made cars, would they sound so sweet?

Re: MD: MD comes through
It seems that nothing can get this through to the arrogant Sony Corp. The dismal response to our end search petition shows just how much they care... Vote with your wallet - buy a Sharp or something, anything but Sony and you will not have any more end-search problems. I know it's sometimes difficult to take the step *not* to buy Sony, I am (or was) not a big enthusiast of Sharp products but my 701 has worked like a charm - no problems (and no end search!) in 3.5yrs...

The dismal response to our end search petition shows just how much they care... Well, guess what!?! According to http://www.minidisc.org the new Sony MZ-R900 lets you set whether or not it will do automatic end search! Unfortunately, it comes set to manually use the end search, but you can bet that it will be the first change I make after I buy one! Woo Hoo!!!
