I assent to the limitations you describe: the MD editor limit of the first
200 discs is really dumb, although I do not currently use MD Editor and may
never. The keyboard input on the JB-930 when it comes out will probably
suffice for me.
The longer changing time is a reasonable trade off to me to have ALL my CD's
on tap. Plus, in shuffle play, I can tell the unit to have no delay in
playing from changer 1 to 2, which eliminates this problem. In recording
mixes, smart space seems to truncate any more than 3 seconds of disc changing
time.
Poor time display is a minor annoyance to me, but you are right. It should
be smarter.
To each their own, but to me, having all my music on tap, being able to
browse it from across the room or shuffle play my entire collection or groups
of it is the best thing that happend to my music listening since MD came out.
I like to make shuffle mixes recorded to MD and listen to a surprise mix of
music I might have neglected for years.
Thanks for your accurate viewpoints,
Leland
