How Do You Choose Between Minidisc, CD-R And Cassette Recorders?
If you want to copy songs from records, CDs, tapes or other sources, you can buy an analog cassette deck, a digital minidisc or a CD recorder. Each type of equipment presents trade-offs between sound quality, price and convenience. Buy a CD recorder if you want the best possible sound quality. Buy a cassette deck if you want the lowest possible price. Buy a minidisc or CD recorder if you want fast-access playback features, such as track skipping and programmable play. Buy a portable minidisc recorder if you plan to use it to record live source material, such as concerts, speeches, lectures, classes or interviews. Buy a recorder that uses the same media as your car or your portable player if you want to listen to your recordings when you’re away from home.
