Re: MD: MD v DAT

I have a portable DAT and MD. I much prefer the MD due to editing capablities. You have to sit with your finger on the DAT's pause button if you want to edit out commercials while recording, you can not edit out unwanted material latter like you can with MD. There is a way. Use Skip IDs.

I have a Sony MDS-JA333ES MD machine, and a Tascam DA-40 DAT machine. My personal viewpoint is that if you are archiving *for personal use*, then yes, MD is OK. But if you are archiving for *historical documentation*, or for record label purposes, my personal opinion is that MD is not OK. MD
