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

Pros: (Re)recordable, excellent sound quality, durability, good editing features, small/compact
Cons: No software/PC support, a bit complicated, small display screen
Summary: I received the Sony MZ-R37SP mini-disc player as a gift and have used it for both a personal walkman/audio player and a digital device for enhancing the quality of sound from an analog source. Below are my impressions: Recordable (and re-recordable). ... read more

Pros: Portable, Durable Medium, Compatible with Sony Remote, doubles as AA battery charger.
Cons: No included AC adapter, Semi-difficult to download "Internet music" to MD's.
Summary: 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.
This is a very nice audio player, considering that it is a Mini-disk player. This player is a bit ... read more

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

Pros: Small, recordable, very nifty looking, can name tracks and disc.
Cons: max volume too low, porting music is slow. USB is pointless
Summary: First, I've found that the best way to make a MiniDisc from music on your computer is to burn a CD disc with music and let your CD player transfer the music. It works really well (no sound artifcats from your computer) and you have CD backups to your ... read more

Pros: Sleek, light, amazing battery life, quality sound reproduction, ultraportable.
Cons: A few gremlins away from a usability nightmare when recording.
Summary: 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: Very inexpensive compared to other minidisk players made by Sony.
Cons: Buttons are kinda small therefore are hard to press.
Summary: I got a Sony MZ-R37 for Christmas last year and I love it. The R37 comes ready to play minidisks right out of the packaging as long as you have 2 AA batteries. The R37 is easy to understand too, I didn't have to sit and read the instructions forever to ... read more

Pros: Size, weight, options.
Cons: Small display and too much button-pressing when programming
Summary: The MD-system is probably the best system for portable enjoyment of music. The quality of the little disc is outstanding and the possibilities are numerous.
The MZ-R37 is the cheapest in the Sony-line of portable MD-players, but it doesn't trail far ... read more

Pros: Small, Good Sound Quality
Cons: Expensive, Fragile
Summary: I purchased the MZ-R37 right around the time the first MP3 player came out. Seeing as to how little you can fit on an MP3 player, I decided to go with Minidisc. Big mistake. It was fun while it lasted, but this craze is just overwith. With the ... read more

Pros: slim design, 40 sec anti-skip, sound quality, many features
Cons: no backlit display, no display and no clip on remote
Summary: I wanted to get a MD player/recorder because I want a listening device that combines the functionality of a CD player and the "recordability" of a tape player. What I meant is that I want the skip, repeat, shuffle, etc. functions and also to be able to ... read more

Pros: Efficient
Worth the money
Cons: Many nit-picky details
Summary: I spent a long portion of my summer saving up for this little contraption, and I'm not dissapointed. It is worth every penny, and I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to experience buying online for the first time.

Pros: Good sound; compact; simple
Cons: none
Summary: The MZ-R37 is the only minidisc player that I have had experience with, but I am definitely more than satisfied. It has the same functions as more expensive models, but costs much less. The only real difference is the size.
The sound quality ... read more

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

Pros: good price, good recording quality
Cons: too little shock memory, controls can be improved, problems recording live music
Summary: About a year ago, I got caught in a MiniDisc frenzy, and decided I had to get one. I didn't have all that much cash and my choice of MD models was a tad restricted, so in the end I chose the Sony MZ-R37 over the more expensive and smaller Sony models. It ... read more

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
Summary: 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 ... read more
