Hello all.
Where to begin...Ok, I own a Sharp MD-MT 90, bought it a couple of years ago. Back then I was enthralled with it's sound quality, abilities and overall usefullness. These days, I've grown tired of a few of its attributes which is why I bought my Slim x iMP 350. Problem is, I miss its overall portability, sturdyness and great sound but I don't want to go back to what I don't like about it which is:
1)Real time recording times
2)recording methods/no playlist
2)Limited disk space/storage
Actually, those 2 things were the ONLY things I chose to switch becasue of. What I want to know now, is if at least one, perhaps 2 of these things have been improved upon ?
I detested having to sit in front of my pc, having to monitor the recording just to make sure that the line-level was properly adjusted for each song, and to make sure that the songs didn't bleed into another thereby making me have to scan and seperate them later on..I also hated having to wait the full 74 or 80 minutes till the recording process was done. This is a terrible waste of time and a momentum killer to boot. Think about this...if you're leaving your house to go on a trip and need to make some discs on the fly, you can't..Let's say you make one, and are planning on listening to the disk when you're on the road, well...you wouldn't really (i wouldn't anyway) want to listen to the same songs as you just did when you were recording them would you ?
How do you avid MD people deal with this ? How has Net Md changed this if at all ? Since I Live in NYC, it's really easy to go to China Town and get pretty much any MD unit want, and one day, I'd really love to get another one, but not with the same headaches.
Solution anyone ? Thanks, I'm really troubled over this..I loved my MD unit.
