Sony Walkman MZ-R70 Personal MiniDisc Player

Pros: small, rechargeable battery, comes with USB computer to player connect kit (PC model)
Cons: awkward shape (lump in back of player), unnecessary DIGITAL to ANALOG to DIGITAL conversion when recording from computer

I recently ripped all of my CD's to high quality MP3 format. I was left with over 2 GB of MP3's on my computer system. I loaded my favorites onto my portable MP3 player and was discouraged to find that I could only fit 5 - 7 high quality MP3's in 32 MB...

Pros: durability, logically-placed controls, and great sound
Cons: headphones that come with player

I, like most people, had been on the computer searching for the cheapest minidisc player that contains the most features. I had been on for a month and I had read opinions on people who said Sony makes devices that are too expensive and cheaply made....

Pros: cheap, small, uses standard AA batteries, long battery life
Cons: cheap remote control, low sound volume, battery compartment hard to open, mechanical noise

The Sony MZ-R70 is a great minidisc player/recorder for its price range. The recorder is TINY, looks nice, sounds great, and comes with everything you need to get started. Best of all, the recorder uses only a single AA battery. Unlike other models, no...

Pros: hella small; efficient in every way; two headphone out
Cons: no LCD on headphone remote

I got the MZ-R70 about 3-4 weeks ago and have loved it ever since. This is my fourth mini-disc player so I consider myself knowledgeable on the subject of them.
This thing is sooooo small. You can get all the measurements that you want but you never...

Pros: great product
Cons: only mono recording

I got this product not know what I had really bought. But I made a very good choice. This could be one of the best minidisc recorders except for its one problem that I will mention later.

For some of you who don't know what this unit...

Pros: Reletively Cheap, Easy To Find
Cons: HMMMM

Let me start with that I don't actually have this fine product but have done so much research etc. on this that I feel like I know as much as someone with it. I'm planning on opening this on christmas morning!!! Read on, i have some good...

Pros: Small, lightweight, stylish- looking
Cons: Remote control detaches from clothing/ backpack straps too easily, buttons not too responsive

Well first off I should tell you the circumstances under which I bought this model. This would be my first Minidisc-related purchase and I had no previous knowledge of anything Minidisc. I was in Japan and Singapore this past vacation and since I heard...

Pros: Nice Sound, plenty of recording time, easy to use.
Cons: Takes a long time to record, case scratches easily.

I would like to start out by saying that this is my first MiniDisc player and I've had it for over a year now. I picked this model up at a clearance price since Best Buy was making room for the up and coming Net MD players, which have faster burning...

Pros: Great sound, easy to use, long battery life
Cons: The weird looks I get when I say Mini-Disk to people

When I went shopping for a new workout music buddy 6 weeks ago I was initially looking for a standard MP3 player. So, how did I end up with an MD R?

The pluses of any Rec MD over an MP3 for me are,
1. PRICE, this MD may cost $250, but a...

Pros: Small, compact music storage. Can record ANY sound
Cons: Semi-difficult to download "Internet Music". Buttons can get "used".

In a world of copycats, one must stand away from the crowd and dare to be different. This is what Mini-disks do. They stand away from CD's.

I really don't know why Mini-disks aren't more popular. The manufacturers should find a cheaper way to...

Pros: Looks, Xitel link included
Cons: Poor volume, Cannot adjust recording level, Recording noise/hiss during recording

It's a tough decision when choosing a Minidisc especially comparing the different vendors and features. Minidisc is truly an excellent option over an MP3 player for a variety of reasons. I recently purchased a Sony MZ-R700 and decided to return it for a...

Pros: Pretty blue case.
Cons: Keeps breaking, costly to have fixed, distortion, non-user-friendly, no (known) digital output, really frustrating

I dunno what everyone else is talking about, but my Sony MZ-R70 is a P.O.S. It didn't work right out of the box, but not knowing anything about minidiscs, I thought they were just prone to skipping all over the place... until it just finally couldn't ...

Pros: SOUND QUALITY, SMALL, LIGHT, LONG BATTERY, EVERYTHING REQUIRED FOR A MD PLAYER
Cons: some people over exaggerate on the mechanism noises it makes

This product is excellent plain and simple, the battery life is just what is required nothing more nothing less. The sound reproduction is close to perfect with cool bass response. This is a player truly for music lovers yes it look outstanding fancy...

Pros: Excellent sound, really small and light, easy to use
Cons: no premade discs...no backlighting on the display

I bought my MD recorder strictly to record my boyfriend's band. They cannot afford studio time, so I spent a little $ on the recorder, and actually more $ on the microphone, and I recorded one of their shows. I made a cd for him with a little software...

Pros: Slick design
Cons: Drains the batteries when recording

Forget about MP3 players or burning cd's off your computer, the way to go for portable music is by using minidiscs. The future is here my friends thanks to sony's latest MD portable player. This little baby does everything that the others can't and then...
