A feature that causes people to accidently erase previously recorded material is
not a minor irritating feature. For anyone doing live recording, instead of
just copying previously recorded material, it is a major flaw.
You can record the most wonderful performance, go back and play 30 seconds of it
it just to see if you have it, and if you forget to press END SEARCH, you will
destroy it when you start recording again.
The same thing happens if you have recorded 20 minutes on a minidisc, and you
want to add more to it. If you forget to press END SEARCH, your previous
material is scrap. THe decks don't work that way, so it is easy to forget going
from a deck to a portable.
