I'm looking for a portable MD player that will do LP mode. The products I see are few and the price is high ... Frankly I think anything over $200 I consider too high for a reader, and I'd like some $100 options. I have checked the T listing for these and Minidisco. I wonder what the Sharp

The problem is, if you don't pay over $200, you're not going to get what you want right now. If you can't find a solution within the MD format, then the solution is simple: DON'T USE MD. Leon on 2/19/01 12:54 PM, John Small at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, 19 Feb 2001 11:33:57 -0800,
