Yeah viv it was me who mentioned the minidisc player. I had a home unit for a long time and just recently purchased a portable player/recorder. It has mdlp like I see yours has too. I just used it to record a 5 hour dj set live at a party I did saturday(the 6th) at Remote lounge(nyc) 5hours on 1 disc that's what's up. It doesn't have am/fm but it does have net md which lets me use it like a mp3 player. I just transfered 4 Nas (rapper) cds to 1 mini disc via my comps cd rom (rips str8t from the cd to the minidisc at 32x speed. I love my minidisc. im sure ill have a post just like yours a year from now. peace, Dj Fantom
