Hello everyone,
Recently, my boombox took a fall,
Well, unfortunately, and I hate to tell
you, it's getting very digital and less

and so on. Too many boomboxes have
menus now, and you cannot get away from
that anymore. It's getting harder for

the thing is about this deck is that it's just a tape deck! you still have
to play the whole 90 mins of a cassette to get it on the hard drive! the
only real benefit over normal decks is that it's internal so you don't have
to fiddle with cables everytime you want to transfer tape to PC. is this
I do however like the Aiwa CADw-Series. It sounds great. Yes, just as

Hello everyone,
First of all, I'd like to say thank you for your thoughts so far, on this
situation.
Now I have a couple more questions.
If I purchase a different boombox, than the Sony I bought, is it likely that
I'll run into the same problem I have with this one?

Hi all,
just wondering if any of you have successfully used the new sony mznh700
minidisk recorder. these disks with this player are capable of holding upto
45 albums on one disk and upto ten hours of recorded spoken material.
as far as i know, it is being sold by Hagger electronics in the UK.
Digital is thought to be better because it allows the user to lock in more
closely to the stations frequency. Analog the dial is turn by a string that
is looped around a cog and the tuning knob. Thus, you get as close as you
can.

You also might have luck at Big Lots/Odd Lots; while I haven't bought
