Summary: Great Recorder
Review: This is the first MD recorder that I have gotten, and I love it. VERY easy to use, and I though, very intuitive. You do need extra cables to record from certin non-digital sources, but I had all those, and making the connections where very easy. If you are new, and want to get a great recorder at a great price, I definatly recommend this one.

Summary: ACTUAL CONVERASTION EXCERPT
Review: this is an excerpt from an acutal conversation i had with my friend. the names have been changed to protect the innocent. here's how it went:Myka02: yeah, so i mean...it aint that bad. but oh yeah, i bought a mini disc player (its awesome, even better than a cd burner) Irgr783: do you recommend me buying one? Myka02: a mini disc player? Irgr783: yeah. Irgr783: cause i got a burner. Irgr783: would it be overkill? Myka02: yeah man its sweet, re-record over and over, really small, really light, not too expensive, download from radio, computer, another cd, a tape, whatever you can find that puts out sound, it even has a mic jack to record your own voice or class lectures. Myka02: its amazing. Irgr783: woooooow! Myka02: i know. it rocks!

Summary: MD-MS722
Review: This is a really good minidisc recorder/player. It is very easy to use and has awesome Bass. It is expensive compared to portable CD players but it is a million times better. It is smaller, lighter and much easier to carry all of your favorite songs. With a portable CD player you need to carry the player and your collection of CDs. With the MD-MS722 you just carry the small player and two or three minidiscs. I only give this MiniDisc player 4 stars because it comes with cables that you cannot hook up to many music sources. I had to buy an additional cable. But still, this MD is awesome.

Summary: Recording from the Internet
Review: I wrote another review about a year ago on this product but I just wanted everyone to know (if they didn't already) that you can record mp3s to your minidisc player easily. All you need to do is but a cable from RadioShack (about 4 bucks). It has a jack at either end to go in your minidisc player and computer. When you get it home, plug one end into the line out end of your minidisc player and the other end into the speaker jack on your tower. You might want to turn the volume up before recording. Press record, start the song, and see if it is loud enough. Adjust the volume settings as you like, press play, and you're off! It's that simple. I hope this helps in you future purchases that you will not invest in an Mp3 player because of this great function on all minidisc players. Peace Out, Sam

Summary: As Sharp as it gets
Review: Hmmm...where to begin. This product surpassed all my initial expectations...I opted for the MS722 over a Sony minidisc player/recorder mainly because of price difference - for crying out loud Sony, I'm not made of money! There was over a $100 difference between comparable models of the two manufacturers. But back to the review - the player is very durable and the 40 second skip memory truly works - I accidentally dropped it the other day onto a hard tile floor in my university's business school computer lab and it literally did not miss a beat. Recording is very easy - I plugged the optical cord into the minidisc and my DVD player and recorded from CD to MD in no time flat. It isn't as fast as say, burning a CD to make an MP3. It records just like a tape - you must play the song in its entirety to get it onto the MD. No problem, though - it's fun to listen to your music as you do it. Not satisfied with the order you recorded in? No problem. You can move, combine, or erase tracks on your MD anytime anywhere. This is a marvelous product. Only drawback is that is only comes with a hand strap (for carrying purposes and a pouch for storing/travelling purposes) and not a belt clip or something similar to let you go about your day with two free hands. It's also a tad larger than the Sony players but, so what. You get your money's worth - I promise. Buy it now!

Summary: Man!! five stars doesn't rate it!!
Review: I have to say that I had some doubts in buying this MD due to the fact that through the internet you can find some guys with some problems. But lets say that they're 1 in a billion. I received this product in Chile (southamerica) and the first time I used it, was for what I bought it for: to play background tracks with amplification in a church. The sound was a supreme ear-cherish. I work with a group of young people who share the love of Jesus using the music. The Sharp even has been used to play the backgrounds when we go to visit a person in a hospital, with a little portable stereo, it makes miracles! I strongly recomend this device. Now more than ever at US$ 180 it is a gift!! I bought it when it was a US$ 200 thing... but I'm not disapointed anyway. God Bless you all. Longo

Summary: Wow! So easy to use and hip looking!
Review: I shopped around for MD player for the longest time, but for the price and quality this one is the BEST! I just got mine 3 days ago. And since then i've had so much fun using it! I have so many mp3's on my computer at work, but never was able to take them along with me. So now came a solution. I got to make my own music with this miracle Mini Disc player! Note to people that want to connect it to a PC - though the instruction booklet is full of every description you can imagine, it don't say anything about connecting the MD player to your computer. that was the only drawback. Get a regular audio cable, or i'm sure you have it (the one that connects your speakers to a comp. is fine) and connect it to MD player, then start playing your MP3's, hit record, and you are on your way! That was easy, but it took me 30 min, to figure it out (duh) Overall, a very nice design, good quality earphones, and great little remote that lites with a cool blue color!

Summary: concerned about sound quality rather than size?
Review: my biggest concern was recording without the optical output. i don't have an optical output on my soundcard or stereo so i was extremely hesitant when buying the md player. also, i'm pretty obsessed with music so i'm extremely picky about sound quality. when i got this sharp md player it had no recording problems at all. the quality is extremely good; in fact you'd have to be a dog in order to hear any high frequencies or distortions cuz i can't hear any. so if you're concerned about recording without the optical output, it's not going to be a problem. the only bad thing about not having the optical output is the track marking. with analog recording, the md player requires like 2 or 3 seconds of silence to recognize the next track. so if you're recording something with continuous music flowing into the next track, the md player will think it's one track. but this isn't a problem cuz there are editing features on the player to split the track into two. in fact there are many editing features that make the player extremely versatile. also i find the remote kind of awkward to use. there are these slide switches. you'd think sliding the switch to the right would make the track go forward, but instead it goes back. i guess it just takes time to get used to. also the headphones suck and an analog recording cable doesn't come with the player. but that's only like 3 or 4 bucks at the electronics store. all i ever hear about is that the player is too chunky or heavy. what ever happened to the music?
