How about we just sum it up quickly:  ;D

Pro's: You can listen to the show on the way home

Cons: Everything else

You can buy a DAT car stereo deck and listen to DAT on the way home too...  Or you can get a tapedeck and one of those tape/cd thingies plugged into the line out of the DAT...  Or you can get a headunit with a 1/8" mini input...

So that leaves no PROs, huh???

JK, I don't mind MD if its the only source, rare source, FOB source, etc...  I just want the best source possible out there, and for most things I collect, there are multiple sources - the MD usually being the lesser of which...

I have no idea what the price of MD is nowadays, but a Nomad 3 can be had for about $200...

One time I let people listen to a MD recording with headphones right outside a club right after a show. I mean, the people had an easy time handling  the thing, plus I wasn't worried about people hauling off a DAT that was 3 times the cost, or pressing lots of buttons that might cause a tape jam.

That would be a pro, I guess.. lol

Hmm, i saw the nomad running for twice that amount.  I picked up my Sharp DR7 for $289 back in May and the price is currently $239 on audiocubes.

TAKE A LOOK

IT'S IN A BOOK

you can get a new stripped down sharp unit for $80, a high end Sony for $300, or invest in the HHb portable unit for $1000+
