Summary: Excellent item
Review: I got this model MD as a present last Christmas and I love it for many reasons: 1.) It is sturdy yet compact. The newer models I have seen don't seem as durable as this model. 2.) I can make my own "mix tapes" thousands of times over because MD's are re-recordable without losing audio quality. Also I can take my favorite songs from CDs and put them on one disc instead of lugging around several CDs. 3.) I can record from any audio source. Download from the internet and make your own MD without investing in blank CDs. 4.) The batteries last forever, or seemingly forever. I listen on long road trips (8 hours +) and seldom need lots of extra batteries. 5.) It's so easy to use that I am able to use it. 6.) I have never had any problems with it. I have even dropped it on the ground (accidentally) a few times and nothing has been damaged on the inside, or outside 7.) It's less bulky than a portable CD player. There are a million great reasons to buy an MD player, of which the above are only a few. I dn't understand why more people don't own these.

Summary: I'm very satisfied with mine
Review: I have had mine for 2 weeks and really like it. I bought it for running because regular CD players are too big and can skip. I'm very pleased with the sound quality and NO MUSIC SKIPPING during runs. Also like that I can pick my own mix of music to match the intensity of my exercise - it keeps me going. I had some trouble with skipping during a run when the battery was low, but as long as the battery is fully charged, it works great. The controls on the head phones are also really handy. The controls on the unit itself are a little small, but I am getting used to them. All in all a great product. I say buy the Sony - they have this technology figured out.

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: I just got this MD player and I really like it. The only thing that is a little anoying is the User's guide. It is kind of hard to understand it. I can't find any directions for splitting tracks. I would really need that because sometimes it is hard to press stop before the next song comes on. Over all, it's a good MD player for the price.

Summary: Great mini disc, just got from amazon.com
Review: I just got this mini disc player in and tried it out. I did have to go out and get some mini disc's but it is great. I just recorded wwf the music volume 4 to it and it works fine. At points, one speaker goes out for a sec. But that only happens once and I think the cd might be scratched. Great sound otherwise. I will hook my mic in and record some of my music once I get a new mic. Great system. This is the best price for this at 200. I have shopped around and 200 is the best I could find. I recomend getting it from amazon.com

Summary: Great product!
Review: I recently bought a minidisk player on adivce from a friend of mine. I work proffesionaly as an event videographer. Unfortunatly, I have had lots of problems with sound. Now that I am recording in the miniDV format, I decided to get this recorder. I can just stick it up on the podium, or plug it into an existing mixer. The sound quality is great. In many ways it's more convient than DAT. Several drawbacks, although it has a great feature to start a new track after 2 seconds of silence, that can get VERY annoying when you suddenly have 68 tracks and it was only a 10 minute interview. Also, why only 74 minutes? Can't you get longer? Despite my gripes this is an excellent product. Sound quality is great. I don't know what this optical cable is for, but just using the regular line is is great.

Summary: this sucks
Review: I recently came across the top-of-the-line sony portable minidisc recorder/player and used it for a while. my conclusions from this trial of this format are: Pros: small, lightweight, easily portable, rewritable, easy to use Cons: terrible sound quality (Sony would have you believe that it produces perfect CD quality or better sound, but don't believe them, minidisc is a very low bitrate, meaning that at lower recording volumes it will sound very good, but as the recording level and frequency range increases, it becomes more and more grainy and digital sounding), bad interface, very expensive. I have an extremely high-end stereo system (Mark Levinson, Krell, B&W, rega) which I hooked this player up to, using my $15,000 Mark Levinson Digital To Analog converter, and from my $15,000 Mark Levinson CD player, made some copies, and played them back. That is about the best quality minidisc will ever be, and it sounded terrible, like a $50 Sony CD player. even with more than $70,000 worth of audio equipment behind it, it still sounded vile, harsh and grainy. Another problem with it is the digital interface it uses. they should offer coaxial digital outputs to enhance the sound quality a little bit, it isn't a big strech, especially because sony invented the system. they try to pass EIAJ optical off as a viable, high-end format. All in all, I think that you should stay with CD, even though it is large, it is not worth the huge investment to go to minidisc. if you want a portable system, but don't care about sound quality, go with MP3.
