Hello everyone. I am new to this message board and found it very informative. However, I haven't found the answers I've been looking for and I would appreciate your advice and comments on this issue. My brother has a Sharp MD-MT190 he use for backing track in his band ( works great ). However, he is looking for a second MD player as a backup so I would like to know which model should I buy. I'm thinking of a Sony MD with backlit LCD. The reason for needing 2 players is to avoid the constant switching of disc between songs. I'm sure there is a proper device out there for his purpose, but we are talking big $$$ here. Lastly, what is the alternative of using Laptop. Thank you all in advance for your replies. Dodge
