Hi,
the 3" CD-R isn't really new in Japan. I believe it's been around for some
time - I've seen Japanese personal web pages on burning 3" CD-Rs from last

For all who are bent on comparisons . . .
FWIW, I've owned 2 Sony MZ-R50s. I bought the first one at a Best Buy in
Chicago in the summer of 1998 (without the help of the ignorant sales
staff). I saw it, I'd been wanting a MiniDisc player/recorder for a long
time to record lectures at med
You guys gotta start checking the auctions more :-) I just won a 3 foot (~1
meter) Recoton cable from yahoo auctions (auctions.yahoo.com) for 9.99! I
started bidding on it before this subject came up, i saw the picture of it,

And why did SONY make their new Mavica use an entirely new 3-inch CD-R?

I've only owned one R50 and apart from breaking the remote while biking, I
haven't had a single problem with it. Being a recent buy, I never had one
that could disable SCMS, but I don't have the need to just yet since I

It seems like the MZ-R50 is becaming more popular on the list. :) Anyway,
local Nobody Beats The Wiz store in Norwalk, CT (about an hour drive from
New York) has a lot of MD portables. They have MZ-R50 for $250, Aiwa F-70

I bought some Recoton TOSlink cables at Best Buy a few months ago. They are
