| 304.1 | Personal tape's more convenient | ISIDRO::RUPEREZ | | Thu Aug 29 1991 14:16 | 21 |
| Not of much help but here goes my impressions...
I've got a personal tape instead of CD because to hear a CD you have to
buy it, but a tape can be copied from yours or a friends CD.
I bought a good quality one (more expensive than your target, but worth
the price). Mine is the Walkman D6C from Sony.
It all depends on your listening habits. You can listen to music when
moving or when moved. I listen to when moved to the mountains on
weekends. I cannot have a full equipment there since it's not my home
(my parents' in law). If do you listen when moving, that one is a little
bit bulky.
One more thing, the headphones coming with the D6C are good enough, and
you "can" move with then quite well, but when I listen "seriously" my
Sony's MDR-V7 improve the results dramatically, and even the background
noise (which can be heard in silent nights) is masked absolutely.
Thats more expensive, but you have to decide what do you really want.
(I've other cheaper personal tape player for bicicling).

| ref -1 But what about the copyrights ?
(I actually agree with you though re the tape player....
you could also get a stereo radio built in to either a tape or CD player too!

| When I go to the mountains I listen to the frogs and the toads and
the birdies and the crickets. Especially the crickets. They do it
all with their hind legs you know. 8^)

re .2
Copyrights are protected if you don't do business of the copies.
Who didn't tape a record or CD from a friend's???. How many of you
after listening a good piece in a friend home reject to copy it and
rush for buying???. Be honest, you buy the same disc as your friend
when it is so good you want to have it in prime condition, when you
want the best quality. Another kind of behaviour is to go to the Soho
with a folding table and hundreds of dubbings to make some quids.
As you know the SCMS in DAT allows one digital copy, but no more from
the copied tape. I do exactly that, though in analogue.
re .3
I do listen also the natural sounds, even the natural silences, but try
to go out by night with "Conferring with the moon" or some from Michael
Franks...
re .4
I asume only adults do that. You have to know which road to choose,
with 1 m of sidewalk at least, in quiet days, and with extreme
prudence.
I think it's more dangerous to go talking to a fried or two, invading
the road.
Nevertheless I don't recommend to do it to others, I did just say what
I do sometimes.

| 304.7 | Is my Walkperson dying? | RUTILE::MACFADYEN | I wanna be a door | Thu Sep 10 1992 18:01 | 10 |
| This is a bit of an idiot question, but I'll ask anyway. My pretty
basic Sony Walkman is now driving the tape at an uneven speed which
sounds pretty ghastly. I'm fairly sure it's not the batteries - I'm
using nicads. The unit has regular use for a bit over a year.
Am I right in thinking it's had it and replacement time has arrived?
If so, what's good at the cheaper end of the market?

I've had my current Sony "WM-A602/B602" for about 2 years. It was about
60-70 quid, but I also bought some better headphones "MDR-32" which
were about 20-25 quid.
The thing I like about this model is that it is extremely small (it
fits easily into a shirt pocket), and the sound quality was as good or
better than the few other models I tried out. It runs for 6-8 hours
on a single Alkaline AA battery.
