Mini-Disc Recorders are they around for long?
I think the mini-disks are more capable than cds...If he has a computer, he oughtta get some kind of an MP3 player. They are cheap, small, plus you can do alot of sound editing over the computer that you cannot with Minidisc and CD.

Where do you draw the line???
I dont think anybody is stating for a definate fact that every piece of gear with a higher price tag sounds better than a piece of gear with a lower price tag.But the fact remains that it is perfectly appliable as a general rule, that more expenci...
