Thanks everyone for your replies. I might have known there would be 'snags' - there usually is.

Alright then, here's another question for you. In a well known catalogue the Philips CDR 775 and Pioneer PDR-W839 CD-R and CD-RWs are shown. Do you know anything about either or both of these?

I recently read somewhere that Sony are also working on a stand-alone CD-RW deck with people like us in mind, so I went to our local Sony shop but was told that they are constantly working on new ideas but at the moment there is something they are having problems with and therefore the young man didn't think it would be in the shops for quite some time.

Personally, I use Sony a great deal and if it means waiting for 'quality' then I'm willing to wait.

Be interested to know what you guys have to say though.
