I agree that getting a CD burner/writer as opposed to a MD for recording of
MP3s makes a lot of sense now. But when I got my MD recorder about 2.5
years ago, CD burners were a lot more expensive, and CD-RW wasn't very
common at all (if it even existed in the commerical market, I can't
remember for sure). So MD was my preferred option at the time.
Plus a had a copy of that Gescom MD that I really wanted to listen to. :)
I actually still don't own a CD burner/writer, although my wife and I are
considering getting one soon. Not really for music (although it may come in
handy for that at some point), but mainly for backing up data, etc. I had a
big scare a couple of weeks ago with the boot sector on my hard drive got
fried - made extra scary by the fact that I work from home, so I thought
I'd lost all of my personal AND work data in one fell swoop. Thankfully,
the tech guys at my office were able to restore the boot sector with no
data loss, but it was a little too close for comfort. So we'll probably
pick up an external burner/writer that will allow us to back up data from
both my wife's computer and mine.
