The Bottom Line:
This product is extremely user- friendly and has many options for editing, mixing, and labeling.
What I love about it the most is, the CD part is protected from scratches in it's own little case, unlike a regular CD.
Next; the compact size, and the ease of recording. Just like recording a cassette, couldn't be simpler!I purchased the Sony MDS-JB920 about 3 months ago after reviewing some of the benefits of minidiscs on the internet.
For a long time, I haven't been very satisfied with the sound of cassettes after going digital with CD over a decade ago. Until recently, I was stuck with analog cassettes when DAT and DCC never really grabbed hold of the market. Along came minidisc and after a pretty aggressive advertising campaign, I decided to get a demonstration of MD.
MD bridges the gap between analog cassettes and CD very well. I was impressed with its features, convenience, and ease of use. I love that I can record, move, edit, label, and erase tracks with the push of a button. You can record up to 74 minutes of material in stereo, or 148 minutes in mono.
You also have the option of a digital output so you can connect the deck to a outboard D/A converter for optimum sound quality (toslink or coaxial). There appears to be a lot of moving gears for the eject mechanism. It seems rather complicated and the proper workings of the deck requires all these gears working perfectly together.
I don't think it would take very much to throw everything out of synch and you would be left with a mess that would need some big-time repairs...discs getting jammed or not being accepted or not being able to eject. I highly recommend this deck to everyone. It's uses and capabilities out perform the conventional Tape Decks and CD Players.
