Hello everybody First of all sorry for my bad English This is my first entry here, and unfortunly it seens been at the end of the MD's I have from 3 and half years an MD JE-470 .Any way , here in Romania a very few people have a MD cause of price witch means all the money that an ordinary guy have in a month. My MD costs in 03.2002 prices , 280 EURO. I have a lot of MD's witch a saw must be saved. I allready did this, moving my music on CD's. I use MD most of all for radio recordings. Such a petty for MD's becuse for NON PC solutions I consider that this is the best for an amateur! Anyway, these things that now we call TOYS with cards , I KNOW they will be the future because they have not moving parts...Not even HDD solutions...But I'm asking when will be this for HI-FI home users (and for them life-time recordings? ). Well , I taked too much for a beginner...
