I suspect they listen to Gaz and the rest of us are just a "blowin in
the wind", so to speak.   If they had any sense, or actually used their
own decks and then switched to one of their recorders, they would have
found out first hand what the problem is and would have changed it.  

I love my Sony deck and I love my Sony portable, but I sure hate the 
problems that END SEARCH has caused.  I wrecked several irreplaceable
recordings because of it, and there really is no way around it except to
immediately copy your new MD and use the copy so you have a back up when
you lose the first one.  Except the SCMS causes problems with that idea
and also I have lost recording 5 minutes after I made them, because I
was so anxious to see how the recording came out and I listened to a
song  immediately after it was recorded, stopped it in a hurry to record
the next song, and wrote over the last half of the first song ruining
it.

MD: end search again and again

2000-05-18 Thread Jim Gray


We wouldn't be arguing about end search if Gaz would stop trying to
defend something so stupid, useless, and ergonomically idiotic, not to
mention destructive.  I don't understand why he does this, unless he
just likes calling people stupid and arguing with them.

But more importantly: does anyone at Sony even KNOW how much people hate
it, or are we all making a lot of noise in the wilderness?  Does anyone
here know anyone at Sony who could be contacted about this?  Is there
any way to find out if Sony realizes that this feature is so unpopular?
IF not, they'll just keep adding it to every new unit from now on!

Gaz is OK - he has his own point of view, it's just different from most
other peoples, although there are others on the list who also favour an end
search button (not me..:-)  )

Sony do tune in to this list - I know this for a fact but I don't know just
how much influence they have on the design areas.
Best thing would be to sign Rick's petition and maybe Sony will act on it.
Maybe the petition should include other features to be considered eg:
adjustable manual record levels whilst recording?
It doesn't worry me at all - I'm very happy with my Sharp 701 - it already
has these features (and more)
