Flawed, but leader in the market

I'm a professional broadcaster, having used MD since the early 1990's, and our organization uses these for newsgathering.The main flaws of the MZ-B100 as noted elsewhere are lack of lighted LCD, and extremely slow RR/FF and other actions, due to the single AA power supply and other issues.But another drawback is that, after extensive use, and with some units this develops earlier, it starts adding phantom tracks without pressing the track button.This is bothersome when you're trying to keep a record...

Nice unit

the music biz 100 recorder

I had recently purchased a Mini disc recorder from the guitar center. It's advertised as a songwriters dream. In a box you get the md recorder, mic, headphones etc. I thought to my self,all these damn cords all the time! with todays technology and demand why hasn't anybody developed a md recorder with built in stereo microphones (along with an optional mic jack), built in speaker (along with an optonal headphone jack)And a variable pitch control (very important). Well, I did some deep research and...
