2000-08-14 Thread Orange
I started my MD experience with a Sony MZ-R2 bought in 1995 and due to an ATRAC and memory chip fault which prevented it from playing discs, I replaced it with an MZ-R30 in 1997. Both these models use the same batteries (LIP-12), mains chargers and remote units and earphones, which have been

I have to agree that as far as Sony's go, the MZ-R50 is my favorite -- it's a very durable and easy-to-use design. My only complaints: 1) End Search. 'nuff said. 2) The record and eject buttons are exactly the same size, move in the same direction, and are located right next to each other. If

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has used the Xitel DG1 USB-MD adapter ? For those that have it, do you need to use the supplied software, or can you use any software (winamp, windows media player, ...etc) to play out of the xitel device. I assume it simply shows up as another audio device
