I have a Sony Walkman Model D-EJ01. You can stop the disc, turn unit off, open the player, remove the disc, change batteries, replace the disc and the next time you turn it on it will start from the exact point on the disc where it was when turned off. Sweet! I use it mostly for listening to recorded books so it is very important that it remembers the location when turned off.
Now I need a small portable mini boom box type of CD player with speakers that does the same. Can anyone here help?

If you get sued by RIAA for thousands per song shouldnt they also go after the electronics companies for manufacturing the product that allows you to copy music? Its not exactly the same as downloading from Kazaa, Limewire etc. but If sony gives you the hardware to do it and you legally buy the music cd and the blank CD legally what laws have you broken?
Just for further clarification. Im not talking bout selling for personal gains.
EX. You buy the newest Justin Timberlake CD and decide to copy it for your own collection so you can have a back up. No personal use issues. And also when you go to your local cd store and they sell blank music cd's what are they supposed to be used for? Frisbees?

I've got the RCA plugs in a speaker and the needle is completely fine, but nothing comes through the speaker when the record plays. There's another wire that comes out of the record player that looks like a U or horse shoe that I don't have an input for. Also, there's a knob that can be turned to 17(7), 25(10), 30(12), or manual and I don't know what it does. If one of the aforementioned things is the problem I'd appreciate advice, or if you have a completely different suggestion I'd love to hear all of them. It's a Sony Stereo Turntable Sytem PS-X5 if that helps.

For a while now, I didn't know that you could still purchase vinyl records of current music. My grandpa gave me this old turntable a few months ago and some of his old records from the '60s and such, and I ended up looking online only to discover that you could purchase some of today's music on vinyl. I got very excited, because I am into retro things and a vinyl collection sounds pretty cool to me.

But can anyone tell me if starting a vinyl collection will be very expensive? My grandpa's player is old as all get out, so I would want to purchase a new turntable and speakers. Best Buy is the only place in town I've found that even sells record players anymore, and the cheapest is a Sony for 9 or so. Do you have to spend a lot of money to get a good one, and will the sound be worse or better than CD quality? Also, how much do contemporary records run? The website I say had them for like or so, is that about average?

Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks. I really want to start this new hobby.

Tried putting a new needle on my turntable and I can still barely get any sound with the volume turned up to maximum. Does anyone know if this means it is not possible to use a turntable with this Sony home theatre system??

I can hook up my record player to my new Sony sound system via the red and white inputs, but the sound is very very quiet; even if I turn the system to maximum, the output is negligible. How can I make it louder? I know there must be a way, since it was played at a normal sound level back in the day. Any ideas?
