A question on the everlasting "End Search" dispute:
Scenario: I'm listening to a MD with a Sharp (or other than Sony brand)
portable. I press 'stop' and the unit auto-shuts-off. After an hour or so I
resume listening.
Question: does the md start from where I stopped listening before (1) or
does it start from the beginning again (2)?
If the answer is (1), then I really don't understand the "End search" button
on Sony portables. If the answer is (2), otherwise I can see the point.
Explanation of my point of view: if a Sharp portables, in the descripted
scenario, starts from the beginning again, then it's behaving like a Sony
deck, right? My point of view is that maybe Sony believes that portables are
mainly used for listening, and so it's a bit annoying to have to start
listening to an MD from the beginning everytime you stop it for a while. So
maybe they thought something like "since they will use it mainly for
listening, we make portables capable of resuming the reproduction of the MD
from the point the user stopped it, and if the user wants to record he/she
just has to press 'End Search' in order to go to the end of the MD".
Does this make (a little) sense?
