Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An above average MiniDisc player.
Review: An excellent choice if you're just starting to record and listen to minidiscs because of its simplicity. However, more veteran users will be pleased because of its tiny size and low weight. Overall, this is an excellent bargain.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Minidisc out there
Review: Buy this one if you can afford it. All the bells and whistles and great quality. I got the Blue one and it is really good looking.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth the price!
Review: Decided to get into Minidiscs and bought this one because honestly, it looked pretty spiffy. Amazon shipped it out and I got it pretty quick and immediately began to play and record with it. Definately easy to use with excellent features that just make this player worth it. The price is resonable for a minidisc player/recorder and this one is definately worth the price.

Summary: First Rate Machine, First Rate Quality
Review: I bought the MD-MT821 for my 14 year old son for Christmas. We have about come to blows, fighting over who is going to use this machine next! We both enjoy it very much. I did quite a bit of research into MP3 and Mini Disks before buying this unit 3 days before christmas on Amazon. It arrived Christmas eve as promised. The size compares to Sony's smallest player and is $50 less. The buttons on the front of the player are shaped different for each function. This makes it really easy to figure out which ones to use with less mistakes. Take a couple of hours reading the manual and playing with the machine and you will have it mastered. I like the solid feel of the deck when opening and closing and the disk carrier in the lid. It would be nice if the display on the unit was backlit. The plug in remote functions only for playback and does not record. It is backlit and very easy to use. It would be nice to have an equalizer but the three base levels are more than adequate. Analog recordings are very good, but recording using the digital optical cable just blows you away. You will be very happy with this unit. I couldn't find any other manufacturer that offered the same combination of features and price. No wonder they are hard to get. If you can find one, you'll be a "happy camper".

Summary: After looking at all others
Review: I chose to purchase this Sharp. The Aiwa unit has a backlit display on the unit in addition the remote. The battery life on this unit exceeds most others, save the new Sony due out in Oct., 1999. Overall, this unit is well worth the price -if you are getting into Minidisc recording in the field, this is the unit to get.

Summary: buy an extended waranty
Review: i don't own this particular brand or model of mini disc player but i have had a competitors model for 10 months. my only advice: BUY AN EXTENDED WARANTY- the best one you can get. These are finicky gadgets that are prone to break. mine worked great right up to the time it quit, and was then replaced under an extended waranty (thank goodness). i would not buy one unless u can get an extended waranty. Note: i have never before bought of had to use an extended waranty on anything else, but these gadgets are more delicate.

Summary: A very good product.
Review: I got mine in Japan several years ago, before it was released in the United States (mine's a cool metallic blue in color). It's an extremely convenient product. I use it to copy Mp3s, CDs, and all sorts of things, and now that I'm in college, it's tons more convenient than using one of those tiny casette recorders to get down a lecture. The price has gone down considerably since I got it. I paid 50,000Y (about $420 US) and I still think it's worth that price. The Sony equivelant is a little slimmer, but the Sharp has a much longer battery life, so this really is the better of the two.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than all of the MDs out there
Review: I have the sony MZR-55, MZR- 50, and MZR-90/91 and they do not even compare to this product. All the other MDs have Low quality recordings and low battery power. This product can get about 13-15 hours per charged battery. This product blows away all those $400 MD player/recorders

Sharp just recently came out with MDMT-831 which you may want to check out.

Summary: It's worth the bucks!
Review: I have this unit for a month now, all i can say is WOW! The construction is solid with different button lay-outs for every purpose, sounds is excellent with deep bass although you can hear a few squeeks at max, but hey who wants to listen at max w/out damaging your eardrums.Titling can be done at ease, it just takes a few minutes to practice, long battery life you'll have all the fun recording and editing. It has all the necessary accesories for recording with the optical cable you'll have cd quality music, the strap and pouch for travelling, what more can you ask for? But the headphones just missed it. Over all a great buy, definitely you'll be satisfied, it'll blow the competition!

Summary: It costs a lot because you save a lot
Review: I just got the 821, and it is the best gadget I have ever bought. It is so much better than a mp3 player because the sound quality is better and each minidisc is about $2.00 to $5.00, for 74 min. A memory card for 32MB is at least $50. Once you know how to use the 821 it's so easy. With a digital output the sound quality is AWESOME! And it does not skip at all. If i kept on going about everything that is good about the 821, I would never stop. This Minidisc player/recorder is AWESOME, thank you Amazon.com
