The Future of Music

by vtolia1 , Oct 12 '99
Pros: great sound and features, easy to use.
Cons: none, its the best one
I purchased the Sony MZ-R55 minidisc player for about $300. It is one of the best investments I have made. First of all, it is so compact that it can fit easily into a pocket or a small purse. It also has a strong rechargeable battery. However,...

This is the best MC out there!

by deantakamine , Sep 28 '99
Pros: The best MD out there!
Cons: Pricey
This is the MD to get. This one just does it all. It records and has a 40 second memory buffer so this baby never skips. It is so tiny it will easily fit in your pocket. Recording is a breeze. The features are great. This MD player is also the...

Sleek, Small, and Stylin: The Sony MZ-R55

by bamtino24 , Mar 30 '00
Pros: Very small, Great sound
Cons: Tiny buttons, It wasn't thought of earlier!
From the moment I saw this player, I felt in love with it :). Quality manifests itself in every aspect of this minidisc player. From it's sleek design to awesome remote, it's definitely a must-buy. Although the small buttons prove tedious, they are...

Makes Me Wanna Bust My Load

by Lethal , May 26 '00
Pros: Cool Remote, Awesome Bass, Loud, Stealth, Good Battery Hours
Cons: Have to sit and listen to whole song as it records, labeling takes forever
This is the best product that i have ever purchased, besides some installments of my personel video collection. I advise you to get one, because they dominate everything. The Sony MD Players are the epitome of portable audio.

One of my...

Pros: THE BEST EVER
Cons: CONS?!? No way
This MD player has it all... It is a MD player, and MD recorder, and battery charger. ??? A battery charger..? When I got my MZ-R55 I bought a rechargable battery that works great with the player. And when I am at home.. Just plug it in and recharge the...

MD Player

by triworld , Feb 09 '00
Pros: Small, light weight, and sound quality is superb
Cons: It does tend to eat the batteries quickly
IS this not the best portable Mini Disc player/recorder out there. It will never skip a beat and it is small enough to fit in your back pocket and the sound quality is just superb. I think that there has never been a better portable mini disc player out...

The ONLY Sony MD Unit Justifying its cost!!

by PenguinQX , May 13 '00
Pros: EVERYTHING UNDER THE MOON AND SUN
Cons: Hard to open door to put in MD
$200. All it took to get this wonderful MD Player/Recorder. Vastly superior to my R70, which I sold to my friend promptly. Since I hate to write paragraphs in my reviews, which i find much harder to get the info you want, i'll use note form:

Pocket size digital sound!

by acuratl , Apr 30 '01
Pros: Ease of use. Portable. Innovative design.
Cons: Battery life.
I never believed in Minidisc format until I bought one. I love how I can put the whole player in my pocket on my walks and/or during exercising and listening to digital sound. It is VERY compact and the unit is built very well.

by Clientele , Jan 27 '01
Pros: You can through away your C.d, cassette, and mp3 players
Cons: Honestly i have no complaints
I have currently been using this mini- disk for a couple of weeks now. I have grown to cherish it and love it like one of my own offsprings. I have a cd player and mp3 player they are now in the trash because this is all you need. I have a lot of...

Featured packed MD Player/Recorder

by Jonathan , Jul 08 '99
Pros: Great design, neat features
Cons: A little heavy, lack of MD selection
In this day and age it takes quite a bit to impress your average technophile. But Sony has a knack for combining stylish design and electronic wizardry in a must-have package.

The MZ-R55 is a little more than 2 inches square, and extremely...

by m0rph , Nov 30 '00
Pros: Sleek design, great controls, easy managements
Cons: rechargeable battery is a bit short
At first I was with my mp3 player, then my friend bought a MD player for me to listen to and I was amazed by the powerful sounds it produced so I went out to look for one. I found the MZ-R55 and was amazed at the great sleek design it had and the...

Compact and Sleek

by kornell_911 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 25 '99
Pros: Sleek, small, lightweight, never skips
Cons: Slow recording times

The MZ-R55 is a great MD player. Advanced, the MD boasts a tiny, fit-in-your-palm size with everything you need for a digital recorder. But the R-55 lacks one major feature--a long battery life. Reading the other reviews and having...

Used other portable MD players - wouldn't go back!

by CottyKid , May 01 '00
Pros: It is tiny and has all the features
Cons: you have to add a battery pack for extended life - but you have to do that on all the real small systems, so it is not really much of a con, but the only possible one I can think of!
I purchased my first MD system a few years back when hardly a soul had heard of them. It was a wonderful system that included a home deck and a portable player. Only the system recorded, the portable player was only that - a player. I was thrilled...
