First off...E 730 = Sexy.
Anyways, i have to say that i too am starting to see the limitations of my MD player...i mean i never really record anything so every once inawhile i think to my self, man i should just get a pod...
And i also will probably never buy a Hi-MD player either, seeing on how i don't really see an huge upgrade compared to what i have now.
But my N-10 and D66's are more then enough for right now.
And in my 3 years having owned various MD units i have NEVER seen anyone walking around with a minidisc player in hand, kinda odd too seeing on how i live in a big city (los angeles).
