I agree with you. It's a shame that Philips (with only one l, it's a
Dutch company) isn't able to do more with their inventions.

Sony doesn't carry the one with the PC link in Europe, but I got the
Sony MZ-G750 a couple of months ago. It's a great little machine.
Audio quality is great, but I haven't tried the MDLP option yet. My
disks wouldn't be compatible with the Sony MD-DX3 in my stereo
system, which doesn't have MDLP.
The radio is OK, but nothing special. But it's nice to be able to
listen to the radio without having to carry another device around.
Battery life is great too. About 40hrs of playback with an ordinary
AA-battery. One thing I like very much about the portable recorder is
the fact I can take it to a friend, plug it into his amplifier and
record a CD or LP. (With decent equipment even LP's sound alright on
MD).
I didn't like the earphones that came with the MZ-G750 at all, so I
got another pair. I now use Sony MDR-EX70LP. Much better sound and
very comfortable. They go completely into you or and shield off
external sounds very well.

It's great fun to have this machine. Everybody is always asking what
it is:) And after my explanation of the things you can do with it,
the non-techies are flabbergasted.
Since my iMac is connected to my amplifier through USB/iMic I don't
miss the PC link, but I can certainly recommend using USB for
recording from your computer.
I would say, get the machine as soon as you can, you don't want to
miss a day of fun with this little gadget.
The only thing I don't like is the titling of tracks, but I don't
even use that on my MD-DX3. I'm from the analogue era where we used
to take a look at a cover to see which track was playing, so I
couldn't be bothered with titling.
