Sony Walkman MZ-R37SP Personal MiniDisc Player

Pros: Small & lightweight; features superior to CD player; cheap media; can charge batteries
Cons: slow record speed; limited digital recording capabilities

I have always thought a MiniDisc player would be nice to have, and when this one was offered to me for $70 I had to take it. The MZ-R37 is a very sleek, very sexy looking device. Its about 3/4 the size of a CD jewel case and very lightweight. The...

Pros: Sleek, light, amazing battery life, quality sound reproduction, ultraportable.
Cons: A few gremlins away from a usability nightmare when recording.

I’ll admit it; I’m attached to my music. It holds sway over my moods-and on those early-morning jaunts across campus to a class I’m not thrilled about, a good swig of music is just as effective as the classic American morning dose of caffeine.

Pros: This unit is an excellent beginner product for minidisc.
Cons: The color is not great, but I can still live and love the unit

I got this unit, and for a while I thought.. "why does mine cost more then that one, when they both look alike" Well the answer is simple. When I first bought this minidisc player/recorder, I had no idea it had the cable to connect directly to...

Pros: Great features, durable, fun and easy to use
Cons: Short battery life, slow recording time

When I decided that I needed a way to take my mp3's with me when I was away from the computer, I began looking into some devices to do this. Immediately, I was attracted to mp3 players because they seemed the best way to get mp3s from the PC to a...

Pros: Excellent quality, Low price.
Cons: Confusing interface, slightly bulky

I've always wanted something more portable than a CD player. Ever tried changing CDs while on a bus? Always turned out to be some sort of circus act! So, I looked at mp3 players and MD players. For a while, both of them were way too expensive for a...

Pros: Easy to use, Good Bang for the Buck
Cons: Cheesy Headphones

I asked "Santa" for this MD player for Christmas. The unit was a little over 200 dollars and well worth it. To start off with when they say "virtually unshockable" they mean it. While I have yet to jog or skate with this player I...

Pros: size, ability to record your music
Cons: cd burner is just so much nicer

I first bought this thinking that it would be cool to have the music that I got on the internet available to me in a portable player. At first my only options that I saw were a mp3 player or a mini disc. Reading reviews of mp3 players, I continually...

Pros: Perfect for Any Basic Tasks
Cons: Not as beefed up on the technical side

It's Christmas time, and we ALL have our particular items at the top of our wishlist. For my little brother, it was "a" minidisc player. Now, when my dad resorted to ME for all the technical advice I could muster on the subject of Minidisc...

Pros: Great sound, good looks, very flexible power options
Cons: Not lighted remote, all controls in front panel, bigger than competitive players

Well, here I go venturing in the great world of product reviewing! I am an international traveller that spends an awful amount of time in planes. The options for in flight entertainment are ,well, the movies (terribly mutilated and rendered senseless)...
