I too think that Sony needs to actually do something about MD. I see
Phillips' CD-R ads ("Got to admit it's gettin' better -- gettin' better
all the time") on TV and elsewhere
If we're thinking of the same ones, I think they're great and the sort of
advertising MD needs. Guy's at home,

As for MD advertising, I've been a subscriber to Sound and Vision for
years (previously Stereo Review) and I have seen MD ads.

MD and MP3 could combine their forces actually :} And MD Portable could

I have to agree with J. C. R. Davis when he (or she) says that MP3's are

I second that. As far as portability goes, every time i rush into my house,
