guitar center has been offering a deal on a portable sony MD
recorder/player bundled with a stereo microphone for $199 ... naturally
when i went to pick mine up they were out, and of course they had the two
items sold separately for $179(player) and $89(microphone)... talk about
bait and switch.
my buddy got one though and it is very nice, the MD recorder also has an
optical input so if you have a sony CD player with optical output, you can
do direct digital transfers. they also have a slightly more fancy MD
Walkman for about $250 MSRP with a USB interface so you can dump to/from
your 'puter.
anyway i'm waiting for the Ruitard Center to get more of the $199 bundle
in but I will be purchasing one. the sound quality is very good despite
the lossy data compression. sounds much better than MP3 for sure.
later

MD is nice for recording anything [Vinyl, CD, Mp3s... whatever] -- especially if you just wanna throw on one track at a time... i don't have a portable MD recorder, so i never looked at prices for them... but i'm sure you can probably dig one up for less than 475.
