...when Sony came out with the bundle package for the MDS-JE320 ( http://www.minidisc.org/part_Sony_MDS-JE320.html )with the portable MZ-E40 ( http://www.minidisc.org/part_Sony_MZ-E20+E40.html ) which I bought from Best Buy for $300.

I got almost 100 mini-discs full of beats, mixes, & music I've transferred from vinyl, this thing was ahead of it's time, better than a cd-burner if you ask me, making mixes with it was waaayyy better than recording to cassette; I just wished I had waited for the model with digital out on it, cause burning music from mini-disc to cd was a pain.

Anyway I've been having tons of trouble with it for the past few years but the deck finally stopped working earlier this year, the last thing I used to record with it was the beats off my beat-tape I put out last year.
