Fill Dirt writes "Mike Langberg of Knight-Ridder newspapers wrote an interesting article on the the hidden costs of bargain priced consumer electronics. I saw it in the Seattle Times business section with the title Can't lose with bargain DVD player, but low cost carries price ."

my Sony NetMD,MiniDISC nightmare!!!!!!!

[jazzbo54]

design fault creates nightmare for Sony NetMD,MiniDISC ! I'v spent $400 this year on 2 Sony MiniDISCs,both had the same failure AFTER warranty !
The design fault,is this ,the metal latch will not close after a few months use, so you can insert MD but NOT play it,also the sony PC software is buggy ,a waste of time,in the end I had to use free real player software to create MP3s to port to MD
