This player / recorder is a very solid peice of equipment. It has sustained over a year of use in a collage environmant where it is dropped and banged quite a few times, but it is still going.

As for the spec the only thing missing is the remote (avalible on the AM-70) but with 40 seconds antishock and full recording and editing features it is one of the highest specs around.

Only one thing which makes this a slightly less attractive bet than the Sony range, and that is the size. Although very small and eaisly pocketable it is bigger than the top of the range Sony (but the sony is also £50 more).

One not so noticeable feature of this over the others is the multi jog. This may seem a bit of a novalty but it does come in handy. When entering track titles you have to scrool through the letters untill you get the right one. On other makes this is not easy as you have to press buttons to cycle through, but with this (and other awia minidisc players) you just turn the wheel to cycle through. And after a while you even learn how many turns you need to get to a cirtian letter. This is a great time saver.

Overall this is a very well buit middle of the range minidisc and i would recommend it but if you have a little extra cash look at the AM-70 as well as it is the higher spec model.

    This is a pretty good op and is definately going to be a help as I'm buying one in a couple of days. I can tell you why it's not quite as small, good etc etc as a sony MD because Aiwa are a cheap (eg cheaper components) division of the sony company so they obv aren't going to make a MD that competes well with similar sony models they'll just loose out themselves. Cheers.
