I can't believe a microphone compatible current Minidisc recorder would cost only $65.00 US funds. No way! I would expect it to be a discontinued model and probably without a microphone input. That seems remarkably low in price. A minidisc recorder compares to a top-end cassette recorder, so I would expect at least 165 in US$ for a non-microphone plugable unit, and also without MDLP. Would you check that again? Oh, and what model was it?
