[EMAIL PROTECTED] asked,
| I would like to know if anyone "out there" can give an opinion on whether an
| MD recorder/player (preferably a portable one) is available ("for sale") that
| will allow the user to "punch in" or "input" a track number (or song number)
| and play that track number without having to scroll through other tracks. I
| have an MZ-R30 that functions fairly well, but it requires me to "scroll" in
| order to play a desired track.
The Aiwa AM-F70 comes close: while one track is playing, you can use its
Search function to go through the titles and numbers of all tracks with the
jog dial, and when you see the one you want displayed, press Enter to skip
to that track.
It's not as good as pressing the track number directly as with a deck's re-
mote, but it is beats having to press FF or REW again and again until you
get to the desired track.
Where Aiwa seriously dropped the ball was in not extending that feature to
setting a program; to select tracks for program play, you do have to FF or
REW to each track you want. But that still beats other manufacturers' por-
tables, which do not offer program play at all.
