Comments on: Bean http://cogscanthink.blogsome.com/2006/02/14/bean/ I'm a mere, tiny, insignificant cog in a whole clockwork of stupidity. I'm the tiny cog that wants to break free. Seriously.

At the end of the day, it's the robustness of the media that sells it to me over and over again. I have 10 year old recordings that have been dropped, left in hot cars, stepped on, scratched against other stuff - and I've never had one fail to work perfectly. Now I'm into Hi-MD and I think the new version of Sonicstage is much better than any previous. Here's hoping they reward those of us who've been faithful with cheap, high-quality units worthy of the legacy. And start selling them here in Australia again. Hey Sony, the only thing Apple does better is: ADVERTISING Take the hint, boys. Market your babies.

That's the problem when you are an electronics and music business; people just want to listen to their tunes the way they want, they dont want to be forced into some weird format. If Sony had come with a player from the start that supported MP3s they'd be much better off. Instead they pushed ATRAC, when when down in flames, and only later added MP3 support, after the damage is done. Mini Discs are hard to find here in the States so I have zero experience with them. I do like Sony a lot; I have a Sony TV, a Sony DVD player and a Sony LCD screen. When they get stuff right, it's the best. The problem with Sony and music is they just don’t get it.
