Thank you to Jeff and Rick for your responses. I will try some more recordings as soon as possible, and will post results. After having read this digest for quite some time, I have to believe that the enthusiasm for MDs would not be out there if the results were as I previously described. Some follow-up questions, however: 1. Would it be better to make an analogue recording through my amplifier/tuner, rather than patching from the cassette deck directly into the MT-15 2. Anyone have experience with the Sharp MT-15? Is it possible that in an effort to make a lower cost unit Sharp cut corners on quality (I would have thought that just cutting out the remote and rechargeable battery would have been enough of a cost reduction 3. Would a MD deck yield better results than a portable? If I can satisfy myself (I'm pretty picky when it comes to sound quality), I would still like to stick with MD - CDR is too damn expensive, and, as I said before, not as much fun. One final question: When I plug the Sharp MT-15 into the aux input on my in-dash CD, the sound quality was noticeable worse than with headphones or portable speakers. Any ideas? I had the volume up to 30 (max) on the MD. I did have to use a fairly inexpensive, thin minidisc patch cord. The more expensive one that I bought just didn't register on the MD end - just like the optical to mini-plug cable that I bought. I have to be able to listen in the car, and I can't afford a MD changer (heck, I can't even afford a MD deck yet). Thanks for your responses, and for all I've learned from reading everyone's posts.
