Best Buy and other places have a zippered neoprene MP3 case [by CaseLogic, I
think] that fits my MZ-R70 and MZ-R700 [not at the same time!] just fine. I
has a belt clip loop on the back that's great for hooking your fingers
through if you want to hand-carry it.

Hi, I was just curious: if the new Sony MD's can record to buffer memory

Actually if it's buffering the atrac data, it could buffer 200

Thatway the disc would only stay on at 1.0x speeds.
