Summary: okay
Review: I've had this recorder/player for about 4 weeks. My model comes with the USB connector and the rechargable battery. I'm very happy with the playback, however, the recording process is not very easy. The usb connector is completely pointless, i get the same exact sound quality from the headphone jack on my computer. In addition, when recording from your computer, you cannot run any other programs that use sound, or else your mini disc will record them. In addition, the music is not very loud at all, i leave all of the volume controls on my computer all the way up, but on the mini disc, you have to put it on full for the music to be audible.

Summary: i smashed my cd player
Review: minidisc players are good to make your own mixes.I make them off both cd radio and computer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still the best
Review: Now that Sony has announced its' plans to revitalize this format, the MiniDisc is here to stay.

That's fine with me because I've been sold on it since the day I bought my first MiniDisc player five years ago.

Even in the extended record speeds it produces sound that blows the current crop of mp3 players out of the water.

If you care about putting 9 million hours of music on something you can put inside a pack of cigarettes, buy an mp3 player. However, if you want something that is going to sound as good as the original CD, and still allow you to put 2 or 3 hours of music on inexpensive re-recordable discs, MiniDisc is the way to go.

Summary: Mini portability
Review: Sony has come out with many innovations but this one is indeed child friendly. My six year old uses the piece for her music practice and it is indeed very convenient for daily use. The system works instantly and I would urge folks to buy the model with the USB interface if MP3 downloads are an issue.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: The MZ-R70 is great for those who are just starting out with recording stuff, great for early bands and stuff. If you but this you must buy the PC link recorded from SONY so you can put music files on MDs.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I love this thing
Review: The quality of the player is very high. I like everything about it except for one thing. The editing features for the player are not easily accessible. If two songs are recorded it is not possible to separate them unless you delete it and then record them again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sony Minidisplayer
Review: The Sony Minidisc player is one of the nicer minidisc players out there. It has a sleek shape and a user-friendly interface. It comes with headphones with the little remote thing which is a nice bonus. I rate this a 4 out of 5 and would definately recomend to someone looking for a minidisc player/recorder.

Summary: A few things you might have not known
Review: There's been a dispute among which is the better, a minidisc player, or an mp3 player. Well if your one of those people, let me clear it up for you. First of all, mindisc prices are falling like crazy and minidisc recorders are as hard as hell to understand unless you have technical know how (i wouldnt buy one for my mom, even if she liked music). First of all, the one i got was for a real deal because it was one of the many returned md player/recorders (try looking for them, especially after christams). I have an mp3 player, and it has served me well for the 2 years ive used it, but it only records 8 songs at a time, which was extrememly annoying. So i decided that it was time to move on to minidisc players and i bought this one. There is a real difference. First of all, there are those new mds that say they'll record from your computer, well they will, but if your a sound buff like me, you will seriously hate the sound quality. But being a sound buff, i bought a Fujitsu notebook with an optical out port made specifically for md recorders and HOLY COW was the sound quality awesome. Line in isnt all that good, but recording digitally is freaking amazing. Also, it does take awhile to record a cd in contrast to Mp3 players which only take a few seconds to download a song to, but you can only download a few songs. If your looking for portability and quantity (you have a lot of music) go with the minidisc. But if your an active person who wants something good to listen to at the gym, go get yourself an mp3 player; they're much more quiet,(the md player is LOUD when recording and changing tracks, it also feels delicate cause it vibrates in your hand). Theyre faster to set up and download songs to, and the sound quality is almost always amazing. So unless you have an optical port on your pc or cdplayer, go for an mp3 player. Even if you dont understand how to use your computer, it doesnt get any easier with an md player.

Summary: Please!
Review: This is a good MD player for the money. But it['s no good] because on the back of the player there is a big lump. Because they make u use a regular battery. Then on top of that the remote isn't LCD. And its not as easy to use. For a few buck more you can get a MD (Sony MZR55) with digital recording, a flat battery, LCD remote that decplays the song title and time. Plus its way easyer to use. I belive this is just the sonys WAY cheaper version of the MZR55. So only buy this if your low on cash and you want to show NO TASTE!

Summary: Great player/recorder
Review: This is an excelent little machine. I bought mine from a friend... with 20 disks, and it's worth every penny. This little rig is small, light weight, and has excelent sound and battery life.
To start, it's small. It's about the size of the palm of your hand, with a bump on the back where the batery goes. it fits in ANY pocket, unlike most CD players. it weighs very little, so it doesnt bother you by pulling on your cloths like some CD players.
The sound is great. The only problem is that it has a low record volume, and gets fuzzy when you turn it up too much. If you have the mega bass on while you recond on high, it gets fuzzy also. At low and medium volumes though, it's got crystal clear sound (that also depends on your headphones, and what kind of music... rock is less fuzzy than Rap) I like my music LOUD. I ride a bus one way to or from school, and that gets awfull loud. I have several "buss disks" that are recorded on high volumes, and they work fine when you are being bombarded by background noise, but are a little fuzzy when you run it through a car kit or stereo. This machine has over all good sound though, and with a little fine tuning of bass and volume you get great sound.
Battery life... what can i say, it lasts. Even on regular duracells, i can get almost a whole school week on and off, and the provided rechargable battery last even longer.
Besides the sound glitches here and there, it also makes some noise. When skipping tracks, rewinding a few seconds etc. it has to think for a couple of seconds. It's not a major problem, but it is somewhat slow here and there. It will skip too. If it is riding in your pocket where it can bounce, it'll skip. Not as much as a 40 sec asp cd player though. it'll freeze for a second, then you will stop, wondering what went wrong, then it goes again. not a mojor problem, but if you jog or run, i suggest you upgrade to an MD with the same G-protection of a CD player.

For the money... it's a great buy for people who want small portable music, that can come from anywhere, (even MD to MD.)Hope this helped
