Re: MD: Stop press: The Cassette is back!
This goes back to a previous thread discussing picking up women with portable MD equipment. MD = sexy MP3 = cute when seen by the opposite sex, which comment would you rather have made about your equipmnet??? sexy or cute? I know what MY choice is... :-) this by itself should make all those lil' prepubecent mp3 kiddies, drop their players in their tracks and run to buy MD stuff :-) -- The day MS makes something that doesn't suck will be the day they start making vacuum cleaners.

Women will let you pick them up just because you have an MD. On what planet? - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is this the futire of MP3 - novelty items ? At this point, it's certainly making more news than MDs though eh? Albert - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Peter, Peter Ravn writes: Check out http://www.supremevideo.com/audio/hit/comp.htm ;-) Excellent find! I've put it in the news and am forwarding it to the MD mailing list. Why does this thing crack me up? Let me get this right... The idea is to take a low quality MP3 player, put it in a tape deck, reducing the quality even more, remove all the "instant skip" functions so it behaves like a cassette, and add the requirement for a Windows based PC with USB into the equation. Get real!! I'd get better quality from a real tape! Is this the futire of MP3 - novelty items ?
