No- I get my discs at Best Buy- As for the previous post regarding fidelity- they sound great- the algorhythms are improved over the early days- I have a Sharp and a set of binaural mics- works really well, and has other compressions that allow 160 to 320 min of rec time at lower fidelity- battery life is good and an little added AA adapter eliminates any compatibility/adapter issues. In any event I think MD recorders are an excellent value. I use it to record rehearsals and can divide and edit out unwanted portions easily. You can title recordings, group tracks and perform many other editing functions. The access time to any track is quick unlike DAT- If you think you will need to adjust the Rec level on the fly then Sony are not the best bet as you have to go into sub menus. Sharp have direct Rec level adj on all models. Cliff www.om-studios.com It was written: I thought the MDs were pretty obsolete at this point..the availability of the medium itself..
