tracks for radio commercials with a stereo mic Which would you choose?
Size and weight are not issues. Remote control is also not an issue. Sound

I'm no expert on Japan, so this is only an educated guess. That said,
it's my understanding that Japan is a much more technology oriented
society
I wonder if it's a little too late in this discussion to point out that if a
format fails in the U.S. it doesn't actually mean that it's dead?
Of course, the U.S. is a hugely lucrative market, and any manufacturer is
going to want their product to succeed there, but outside the shadow of the

I think they would do a lot better if they stopped comming out with all
