Is there a better version?

As I only have the CD version I can't answer that. It's too bad that they didn't make one unit with both CD and MP3.

I believe that Tascam has a midi model as well as the CD model. The problem that I had with mine was the CD wouldn't rotate and then the power supply was defective. Both were replaced by Amazon. The CDGT2 works OK as long as you don't get a lemon

I doubt there is a better version, its extremely well thought out, I have had no trouble with it and it has everything you could possibly need. in saying that I recently put all my cd's on computer, and packed them away, so now I have to burn songs to a cd to use this machine. I wonder if the MP3 version may have been a smarter choice.

I prefer the older version CD-GT1 Mk11 because I also use mine for CD backing tracks and the older version allows me to cue a track and then start the track using a foot switch. I can't find a way of doing this with the GT2. If anyone knows a way please let me know. Dave

This is the second one I've owned. The first worked perfectly up until a TV was dropped on it during a move. I've looked, and looked and researched the market. I was hard pressed to find a sampler for the lay man at this price point. If you want to step up to studio quality and options there are some over $1000. I carry mine at all times just because it contains some pretty cool guitar effects just in case. It's a great unit for sampling that one little bit of a song giving you problem, so slow it down with this without changing key. I think mine is pretty cool. I highly recommend it as a learning tool with goodies. This is the second one I've owned. The first worked perfectly up until a TV was dropped on it during a move.

I don't think so...not in the TASCAM brand anyway. I believe this is the newest version for guitar trainer.

I haven't seen one and I've been looking! This one is MUCH better than the first version. There are software programs that achieve the same speed adjustments and looping effects with mp3s, but this is the only CD guitar trainer I've seen.

I don't know. Did I refer to a new version? This review was done a long time ago.

Buy the VadoHD TRUST ME Vado 1st version, the second has nothing different other than color. I would go on and on but it is pointless to do so, the Vado wins HANDS DOWN

I don't know anything about the older version so I can't help you, sorry. New is good?

No. In fact, they moved a bunch of stuff around for no apparent reason and the program is significantly buggier and slower. I wish I hadn't upgraded. If you do upgrade, wait until around December after they have released a whole year of patches and fixes.

I don't know if it is improved...I've only had this one. I like mine and use it all the time.

Yes MUCH BETTER. Little bit different, but MORE STABILITY, NO VIRUSES EVER...

I am using 11, the old version, and I'm very happy with it. I use it daily, and the approximately $30 price tag makes this version an excellent value for the money. It has a couple of idiosyncracies ( I probably misspelled that....), but I would still recommend it. It has trouble with homonyms, and will capitalize and punctuate on its own sometimes, but for thirty bucks you can't beat it. Good luck!

It's better! Best addition I've found so far is Tune-In is embedded and works very well. Much, much better navigation and user experience than the GraceNote radio (which makes me crazy, it's so, so, so poor!) I just really hope the hardware is solid - this is my 2nd Squeezebox. Last one became ejunk.

I don't know what is the version, but in my personal opinion works very well... I received many compliments!

This is an improved version. Better recording quality especially for music. Also has 3 mics to improve versatility. It bought mine refurbished. Works perfectly. Dr Ron.

It is the best version thus far. It is easy to maneuver and the number of mistakes relatively to other versions is small. Highly recommended!

I wish I could be of help, taking into consideration that I have only used the developer edition and not the standard version, I cannot say which is better, but if your not into high tech app software development, I don't you will be needing the developer edition and I don't you would even notice the difference, hope this helps.Cheers.

Is a good alternate, portable version. The larger more expensive versions have larger viewing windows and a little more sturdy, longer battery life. I am a pediatrician in solo practice, bought it to bring with me for hospital rounds.

Yes, get this. It is the most current version and is by far the most powerful version to date. You need to read the requirements for CPU and memory before you buy it. It is the true professional standard. Highly recommended.

I like the newer version. But if all you use it for is net flux either one will work just fine.

Not sure why you hated the version 3.0, but can tell you one thing I use it a lot and I like version 3.0 much more than this.
