Every article that I've ever read from Ken Pohlmann always states that the
product "is one of the best he has ever tested" and that it is "a great
value", and that "you should buy it immediately". Every single one. Even for
Bose speakers (which he praises even more than other brands, such as

That, and the fact he hates MD, makes me think he is not an objective

Yeah, but if it's only an mp3 player, that means you can't use to record in

Can you tell this from the DataPlay site? I cannot. However the product listing
reveals several recorders.

Hi,
does anybody have any explanation about a lack of MDLP home MD units by
other big manufacturers ( Yamaha, Pioneer, Technics etc.)? Several months
after introduction, there are no other MDLP home machine; the Sony is all

Expanium. I was wondering if it has any major advantages over the Memorex

I'm looking for a new MD deck to replace my JB920. Looking to go cheaper
this time as I'm going to replace that one deck with two.
Does the JE440 have an S-Link jack?

Where can I find the best price? Awhile back someone said Video-Direct
had them for $140, but
My next MD unit will almost definitely be an MDLP unit. It seems that LP2
would be ideal for storing MP3s. However, is LP2 mode of a high enough
quality to hold well-recorded MP3s with the same level of sound that the MP3
has (within audible ranges, of course)?
