Sony Walkman MZ-R900DPC Personal MiniDisc Player

Pros: Portable, Features, Battery Life, Style
Cons: Price, Headphones, Available only in "Japanese" version

Before buying the R900, I was debating between an MP3 player and the Minidisc format. Here's how I broke down the argument:

MD Pros:
Not limited to MP3 format.
$2-3 for a blank disc!
MD Cons:
No drag and drop recording...

Pros: Great battery life, MDLP, sound quality
Cons: 4x times not really good for music, but great for speech, expensive

I've just received my R900 and I could not be happier with it. I've really researched the market before buying and couldn't go with any other md player after discovering what it can do, especially:

-MDLP compatible, allowing up to 4 times the...

Pros: MDLP, battery life
Cons: Weak bass, too many menus

I bought the MZ-R900 early January 2001. I saw it on eBay, on various discussion groups, on www.minidisc.org, and a bunch of other places- including ePinions. I already own a few other MD portables, but I wanted to upgrade to a unit that wouldn't...

Pros: Long Battery Life, Will not Skip, LP modes, Memory Bank
Cons: Comes with the worst headphones I have ever seen

Okay I've been using mini disc for awhile now. My last model was the MZ-R55. After a small accident where the lid was dented(but it still was able to play) in I decied to buy a new Mini DIsc player/recorder. I have been very impressed with the quality of...

Pros: great sound quality, records anywhere, very portable, unskippable
Cons: Expensive

The Sony MX-R900 is the newest in portable audio technology. This piece of equipment is fantastic for so many reasons. It offers so many great assets not available in CD walkmans and portable MP3 players.

First of all, the Sony MD Walkman...

Pros: incredibly hardy great sound sleek features gd batt life
Cons: real time transfer

i bought my R900 second hand off a local auction website it was in gd condition still under warranty which was a gd thing coz a few mths later i was having problems recording and had to send it for repairs that would have cost me $200+ otherwise (some...

Pros: Sleek and powerful
Cons: Expensive

The Sony MZR-900 is the smallest Sony have made yet. Off a single internal rechargeable battery it can playback for an amazing 21 hours and record for up to 8!
It boasts many improved features such as a new system of fitting music onto the...

Pros: silky surface,easy enough to use
Cons: small screen,in-ear 'phones

It may be a smidgen larger than slightly more recent models from Panasonic and Sharp, but to my mind Sony's current range-topper is still the most sexy. Its pocket-size design screams gorgeous gadget from each silky surface, its new generation Walkman...

Pros: Everything, good sound, awesome features! Backlit remote comes in very handy!
Cons: With having spent 270 Dollars, the headphones certainly could be better.

Before purchasing this product online for 270 Dollars, I did alot of research, and this was the Minidisc Player that stood out from the other choices i considered.
I wont go into details, because the other oppinions have already done so, and I...

Pros: nothing
Cons: nothing

i love music. that's why i always buy some good MD players. Sony is my favorite band name. it give me guarantee. the sound of this player is so wonderful that just like listening in live. it is so light. and you can use only one finger to control this...

Pros: Excellent recording, playing, everything!
Cons: It can't clean my house

This little device is God's gift to... the music listeners of planet earth (and possibly other planets we don't yet know about). I have recently (yesterday) received an MZ-R900 UK version, which is different than the Japan version which is what most...

Pros: 320 Minutes on a single disc, good recording time
Cons: Absolutely None, for now

Before the advent of the Sony MZ-R900,
I owned six other MD's, them ranging from
the MZ-R55 to MZ-E800
and in all my obeservation with the Sony product line,
have i seen such beauty and performance than with the MZ-R900.

...

Pros: Excellent size, battery life, general sound quality, form factor, one-touch eject. MDLP2 works really well.
Cons: Poor headphones, slightly low headphone output. Not to be dropped.

Well, up until recently I owned the Sony MD-R35 and Sony E-62 recorder and player combination. After trying out the Archos Jukebox and deciding it was too expensive, I took the plunge, sold my existing mini disc kit and purchased the MD-R900.

...

Pros: MDLP, Excellent Battery life, improved liquid crystal LCD, several cool add-ons from prior models.
Cons: a bit pricey and difficult to find in US at this time.

I had my MZ-R90 for a while now, and with that, I had no problems. I enjoyed the long batter life, portability, cool design, and excellent sound quality that sony offers.
Then I found out about the MZ-R909 which a friend got for me from Japan. let...

Pros: size, durablity
Cons: hmmmm

I was in the market for an mp3 player. i have some 1000 songs on my computer and i wanted to put them on some portable device. i was almost gonna pay $500 for an mp3 jukebox, but then the thought of a mini disc player crossed my mind...so for about...
