Summary: Recording Issue
Review: Great unit - small, compact. Even my big fingers can use the buttons. I would only keep in mind for those considering the purchase of this unit, is that when recording in manual mode, you cannot adjust the recording level while recording! The sharp units can be adjusted in manual recording mode. I understand some of the high level newer Sony units have fixed this... For some people, this would be the very reason not to purchase this unit. For others, it is not a major concern at all. Usually when I begin recording, I am not going to be making a lot of, if any, adjustments. Unit fits fine too in your pocket w/o feeling heavy.

Great quality recordings and nice and portable plus the blank media is still a deal... great way to archive and make your collection really portable... fits in your pocket... endless hours since the media can be changed out.

Summary: Great little machine
Review: I bought this machine, the MZ-R70PC version, with the PClink back in September 2000 and I've never been happier. Not only does this machine have such a very good sound quality and good design, I also love the fact that it's very portable and is light enough to carry around anywhere.I've heard that this machine's response time (going from track to track and normal button response) is a little slow for some people but I find it fast enough that it's not annoying. Another problem I've heard is that the length of the headphone cord is a little too short. Yes, it is! The remedy? Go to Radio Shack and buy an extension cord for $2! Other than these two that I've mentioned, I can't really think of any other problems with the machine/package. If you can find the PC version (MZ-R70PC) - get it. It's a must-buy for those who are planning on recording stuff from your PC, and it records any sound that comes out of your USB port.

Summary: Watch out!
Review: I bought this make of minidisc and found out to work great! However, within 5 months I had discovered that the battery slot had compressed slightly and could no longer hold a AA sized alkaline or rechargeable battery. If it had only compressed at one side then yes, it was dropped. But for the whole battery compartment to do that there must have been a fault. I'm not saying don't buy it, I'm just saying be careful.

Summary: much more convenient than traditional portables
Review: I got my Sony MD player as a gift last summer and since then it has become an indispensable part of my life. I like it because I get CD quality sound and 74 minutes of music (or whatever) in such a small package; it fits easily into my shirt or pants pocket. Plus, it's totally handy to have this tiny unit that plays and records -- I can pull stuff off radio, CD, tape, etc. The battery doesn't last as long as I want it to (like 12 hours) but it does recharge very easily. Sound quality is fantastic. The higher up model is slightly nicer, so I would give it a 5, but this one is a 4 or 4 and a half easily.

Summary: Great way to take your music w/ you
Review: I got this about 8 months ago. Ever since, i've been carrying it around everywhere. Its easy to record songs from your computer no matter what format theyre in. Also, I find it better than an mp3 player because each disc holds 74 mins of music, which is basically what an mp3 player would hold, but with MD's, you can just buy a new one for $3 when you run out of space on one, instead of having to go buy a new $100 memory card. So, you save a lot of money. Although its not as small as a lot of mp3 players, its still has a convenient size, so you can put it in a jacket pocket, and control it with the remote. And I also have to say, the audio quality is wonderful. Its better than a lot of portable cd players out there. You will feel like you're listening to a stereo at home. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants truly portable music in an overall affordable package. (plus it looks great, you'll be the envy of your friends)

Summary: Excellent sound and features, but what about MP3 ?
Review: I had the MZR70 for 6 months and it worked great, never skipped, excellent sound and beautiful digital-optical recording. It was stolen (lucky thief) and I got the one with the PC link, but haven't used it yet. Can any1 explain to me this: When I record MP3 files with the USB cable - are they copied onto the minidisc in MP3 format (meaning I can fit about 170 songs on one disc) or simply transformed back to audio (WAV?) format? Please consider this question, and leave a note here if you have experience with this. I am just about ready to exchange my MD (still in box) with one of those portable MP3-CD-Players available out there (www.mp3discplayers.com) for 10 hours of music on one CDR. Please email me if you know the answer: guyshiloh@hotmail.com
