what the hell are you talking about pope?!
<< The R37SP really sucks. big, heavy, low quality. You'd be much better off waiting for the new Sony MZ-R900s which can record up to 320 minutes of stereo on ONE normal 80 min. MD. >>
what is the price difference between the two of them? $200 plus tax? the r37 isnt very big, like your wallet, and about the same weight too. i suppose you dont have a wallet then... on the r900 how do you think they get 320 minutes on a md? they lower the quality... i hear that it isn't even as good as a fm radio at that level. although i here that the lp2 mode is pretty good...
$158 is an ok price, i got mine for $134 shipped from ubid. its a nice player/recorder for that price, not the smallest, not the greatest battery life, but what do you expect for that price?
ok... enough ranting
