Great Tool For Converting Vinyl
Reviewed by Jason (Audiophile) from Boston, MA on May 07, 2008
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I use this to convert my vinyl LP's to wav files for MP3 and back-ups. I have a great turntable that is hooked up via analogue (stero) and s/pdif (digital). I find with Sony's SBM (superbit map) feature, when I record the vinyl via analouge it comes out so much more crisp and detailed than using digital. Playback sounds great as well. I hope Sony does not decide to discontinue this item, as Sony sometimes like to do. Poor minidisc :(
Best Uses: Basic Systems, Audiophiles
Pros: Durable, Great Sound, Easy To Set Up
Cons: Unattractive Design

Does what I wanted it to.
Reviewed by BG (Tech Savvy) from Bend, OR on Apr 02, 2008
Verified Buyer
Loading and unloading CDs, and reviewing what you have in the machine already, takes longer and is more awkward than with carousel designs. But I bought it to play MP3s and to duplicate CDs and it does both of these very well.
