This is definitely my favourite piece of equipment in my house. The Sony MDS-S40 MiniDisc Recorder is simple to set up. Do you hate spending 30 minutes fiddling with a tiny control on your portable MD trying to type in the title of a song? Well, with this MD, youll no longer have to do that! It comes with an easy to use remote control that contains a keypad where you can quickly and easily type in the titles to the songs on your MD. Another feature I find I could not live without is the editing capabilities. With the simple turn of a knob, you can divide or combine tracks (it even plays an example to see if youve marked the track in the spot you want) and you can move and delete tracks. It also has the handy undo function, just in case you screw something up. With some MDs, especially some of the portables, youll find that the shuffle function doesnt really do what its supposed to do - it might choose track 5 as the first track, then several tracks later, itll repeat track 5. The MDS-S40 is a lot smarter than this - once its played a track when in shuffle mode, it marks it off its list, and wont play that track again. The MDS-S40 also has one optical input and one optical output, so you can digitally copy CDs onto MDs. The optical output can plug straight into a Dolby Digital receiver for top quality sound. All over, this is another fantastic product by Sony.

Recording MDs at home is very easy, I just program my hi-fi system with the songs i want to record and whenever i return the md is ready to be listened on the portable md player. Its a cheap tray, but still does everything the much more expensive ones do. Mds can also be heard at 2000 watts since the tray is connected to my sony hi-fi. The tray may also connect to the computer with the help of an audio cable and can record mp3s to minidisk! If something goes wrong with the recording the md can be re-wr, and several options are included for these problems: divide, track erase, disc erase, etc. Several features are: - Records up to 74 minutes of digital audio on a 2 1/2" MiniDisc - Covenient Jog Dial for Track selection and Text Entry - Remote Commander - Sampling Rate Converter - 20 Bit Hybrid Pulse Analog-to-Digital Converter - Powerful Editing: Divide, Combine, Move, Undo, Erase, Title, disc title - Optical Digital Input. Now i can hear the music I like, at home or on the go.
