Summary: The good the bad and the minidisc...
Review: *Very versitile: Can record off of a cumputer, the radio, CD's, tapes, whatever. *Slim design makes it easy for me to bring along when I run. * Bad things: * The headphones it comes with has a very very very short cord (very unpractical). *I have had to get it fixed 3 times because the connection in the headphone jack. The sound becomes distorted and they have to sauder it (Not fun for someone who uses it everyday) *OH YEah MD's aren't supposed to skip..it does once in a while

Summary: The best electronics gadget I've ever bought so far
Review: Great tool for recordings. I've made several MASTER recordings on MDs, for transfer onto CDs. I did not find any difference in quality. Though I've heard comments on loss in quality due to additional compression, for the type of music I deal with, I did really not see any loss in quality.A simply superb product

Summary: Great for beginning concert recording or MP3 recording
Review: I bought the MZ-R37 early this summer. I got a refurbished model on Ebay for a resonsable price for recording concerts over the summer. This is a great model, durable and very shock resistant. I purchased a binaural microphone after I recorded a couple shows on a cheaper mono and man what a difference. One major tip if you are starting to record with the MZ-R37 - be sure to hold the record button in place and be sure recording has commenced, I missed some songs at gigs because the recorder didn't start. Better to be safe than sorry. Anyway, this is also great for recording MP3s off of your computer just get a connection line from your sound card to the line in and you are set. You can also transfer concert recordings or band demos onto you computer if you have a recordable sound card. Great investment. Forget about MP3 players, too expensive to add memory. Minidiscs are inexpensive and far more durable than CDs also, with identical sound quality. If you are a music fan I don't know how you could live without one.

Summary: A Mini Marvel
Review: I bought this minidisc recorder because my house is in london but spend quite a lot of time away with work. I also DJ using vinyl so I wanted to have copies of my stuff to take on my travels. The space saving when carrying 20 minidiscs plus player around as opposed to 20 ordinary tape cassettes and walkman is a great plus. Plus the difference in facilities and sound quality (especially when recording from a Discman with optical cable), between minidisc and oridnary cassette are enormous. Throw away your cassette recorder. Minidisc is the future of music recording.

Summary: The Swiss Army knife of MD players, only uglier
Review: I bought this unit because it was on sale, but I would recommend that anyone considering this unit take a look at what Sharp has to offer. For a little more money you can get a larger display (my MZ-R37's display is puny and hard to read at most angles - and it can only display 5 letters at a time), a text display on the remote control and, most importantly, both displays are back-lighted (if there was one option I would want to add to my MZ-R37, it would be this). Screen caveats aside, the unit is small enough to fit into the pocket of my jeans and I can hook it up to my Sony Discman through the optical line and walk away - in most cases it will note a new track on the CD and start a new track on the MD. Naming the tracks is sheer agony, the average song taking two minutes to title, but my friend who owns the Sharp model reports that it is even harder on his player. The remote control is well laid out, but the buttons on the control and the MD player itself are too small (my hands are on the large side, so maybe it's just me). In summary: this player is awesome in terms of technology, but its aesthetics (display and buttons) need some working on. If you can stand this and can find this model for significantly less than a Sharp model, then go with it. This player should be for those on a limited budget only. Battery life is decent for a MD player. I usually have to hook up the player to the AC adapter overnight every night to keep the rechargeable batteries from dying.

Summary: perfect recorder
Review: i don't know how i survived without this! i have had this unit for about six months now and have really appreciated having digital recording in such a small package. although i have made pleanty of mix discs with it, i bought it mainly for field recordings. it's super slim size (it's the slimmest, but not the smallest) and side facing display make it perfect for incognito recordings. i use a set of omnidirectional stero earbud mics and get no machine noise and with the auto level setting, hardly ever any signal overload. i thought that the remote would be dissappointing because it does not have a built-in display (like earlier sony models), but after you memorize the layout where you don't have to look at it, the lightweight "stick" is actually preferable. 2-position mega-bass feature kicks. only complaints: battery life could be better. it has a great "on board" recharge feature, but i found that after only a hanfull of recharges, the life was down to 50% of conventional batteries. you get about 6 hours of playback or about 2 hours of recording time on one charge. also, there is an annoying beep which accompanies any command - unlike most md players you can not turn this feature off. it is especially loud and annoying when you have it hooked up to your car stero. but don't plan on cranking this machine, because the volume only goes up to "30" (literally 30% of what you're used to on a regular walkman), which is not loud enough for me- especially with decent headphones.

Summary: This MD player is great
Review: I don't know why people are saying the angle on the lsd screen is hard to read, I can read mine fine. At first I thought that this had bad volume control, but i wasn't recording right.You have to record at the highest volume both on the player and the mp3 or cd player, then you get great volume! overall this is a great player, its small, good bass and good battery life. I've had mine for a few months and I only had to change the battiers twice.

Summary: i love it!!!
Review: I got this as a birthday present over a year ago and I love it. This minidisc player is such a great benefit that any music lover or electronics enthusiast (sorry for the spelling) should enjoy. With this gadget I was able to record from everything and it saved me a lot of money. I didnt have to buy cds to listen to one song. I would just borrow from friends or family and record the track or tracks that I liked and return the cd to them. The sound was incredible. I no longer have to worry about not being able to listen to cds because they're scratched, because when I put it on minidisc, its impossible for the cd inside to get scratched. Another plus is it does not skip. There are so many positives about the minidisc player that I can go on forever. Its like having a cd burner in your pocket. However despite the positives, it has its downfalls. The buttons are really small and I jammed my skip search button. It cost 50 dollars to get it fixed. I would definately recommend getting a warranty. Also this one eats batterys fast. It takes only 15 hours on 2 batterys. I think its definately great and I enjoy this player.

Summary: Excellent MD player
Review: I got this MD player as my Christmas present. It didn't look very attractive and new, in terms of design. When I started to use it I realized what was hidden under its silver body panel! The sound was amazing (44.1 kHz) and the batteries lived for a good time to enjoy the music (approximately 12h with alkalines).
I take it to school everyday, and swich the batteries every 2 to 2 and a half weeks. I sometimes forget that I have it with me cause it's so light and compact. The Mini Disks are too very light and easy to carry. Once I ran to the bus listening to my MD, and it didn't even skip. I recommend you to buy this product. Even if it's kind of old, it's still good.
Thank you for reading my review. :)
