Well they've got the 4X recording deck, and the portables that come with the USB connector (granted only records at 1X) but I believe that's making progress. The main reason I bought a portable MD player as opposed to an MP3 player was that I like changing media, such as on car or plane trips, and don't like having the same damn 12 songs on an MP3 player. I wanted something small and portable, hence not the portable MP3 discmans and the "portable hard drives" that store gigs of MP3's. So there you have it, I guess it's down to marketing. -Luis ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
