Is this available online? I do a search and I can't find it.
(Shawn Lin)
Evidently not. I did a search for it, too, and came up with nothing.
The SKU #, by the way, is 4148489, but I don't believe bestbuy.com
references any of their online items by SKU number.

Best Buy has reduced the price of its Turtle Beach AudioTron digital
music receiver to just $149.50. The $50 instant rebate expires on July
22nd, however, so hurry if you're interested! This unique receiver can

as i was one of the first to reply this time i'll restate what i
said then. it depends on the Best Buy you go to. the best buy's in my
areas have several home decks and many portables. i hate to burst your
bubble but around here they have yet to eliminate either kind.

I'm just now catching up with my digests, so forgive me for putting in
my two cents so late. I was really annoyed to see this stupid thread
pop up AGAIN. As I had remarked on this list only three months ago,
Best Buy has eliminated minidisc component decks ONLY. Portable
players, including

Hi, guys ... I'm a merchandiser at Best Buy and have been on the list since
1996. I usually don't post unless I have something substantive to say, and
unfortunately, I do have something worth posting about today. I say
'unfortunately' because it appears that many listmembers' fears about Best
Would that be similar to http://minidisc.org/part_Sony_MDS-JE440.html
(J. Coon)
Yeah, that's the one. I didn't remember the correct model number.
Incidentally, Best Buy's sign for it fails to mention the MDLP modes. In
fact, the tag states that one can record up to *74 minutes* with it.
An LP-2/4 minidisc recording deck is already available at Best Buy stores.
It's called the MDS-JE400, I believe, and it's retailing for $199

One last thought. I always hear that they reason VHS won out over
Beta was
because you could fit more time on a VHS cassette. This was because the
VHS cassette was a little bigger and could hold more take than Beta.
I think it has more to do with the fact that Sony refused to license

Anyone actually have or used a Sony R55CIF (that one they sell at best

Today, there is the JE330 and the one with the CD/MD combo deck, MZ-R70,
Sharp MD-MT15, a couple play-only portables, and a few blanks. [...] It

disappointing.(Shawn Lin)

It's the old Betamax vs VHS argument again. Betamax was undoubtedly the
better format - smaller size tapes with higher quality pictures and sound,
and the tapes were slightly longer!(Stainless Steel Rat)
Actually, Betamax had a *shorter* recording time than VHS, and that is the

After I read your post, I grabbed a handful of MDs which were recorded
on various machines, and as far back as May of 1993. They all worked just
fine. It sounds to me like you probably have a defective unit.(Jim)
Thanks for your reply, Jim. You must be right, because the unit I exchanged
I'm not sure if it would be worth much of a premium, esp. if it is only
an 8% longer play.(Jeff)
Oh, it would be worth it if one wants to dub a CD that is longer than 75

Just to set the record straight, there never was an MZ-R1. Sony's first
recordable minidisc portable was called an MZ-1. The 'R' wasn't
incorporated in Sony's minidisc nomenclature until the MZ-R2.

I looked at this unit in Best Buy and didn't see any stop/play/track
