I got started with MD to make compilations of LPs to play in my car. But lately, in addition to music, I've been recording interviews with family members for a genealogy project. One of my friends at work borrowed my recorder and mics for a weekend to record some of his relatives and was hooked

Kenwood, when they renamed themselves Kenwood and came up with a new image, found out from market research that a lot of us - the younger crowd, if noone else - don't really care that much about sound quality. This was 20 years ago. This may explain why Kenwood is where they are today, while Sa

First, I need to add my 2 cents on the issue of why MD: Audio Quality or Portablility. For me, portability is not the reason for going MD. I have a CD player in the car, and a portable, and both do me quite nicely, thank you. Audio Quality is, of course,important. But again , if it were the o
