Disadvantages: Burns through batteries, but all these things do.

...world. Eventually I found a store that had both of them, and at a price for cheaper than both of them, the Aiwa XP MP3. The Aiwa XP MP3 portable MP3 player looked like it had all the features I wanted. Anti-skip protection, it reads the filenames off of the disc, plays both audio CDs and MP3 discs. I wasn't asking for much, just that it work, and it play all the stuff that I had, which it does perfectly, and at 12000 yen ($93.75 at the exchange rate back then, now it'd be around $88.89.) it was a steal, considering the TDK Mojo was going for $130, plus shipping and tax. This thing has been great. I have had no problems with it so far, except for the fact that I can't figure out how to make it shuffle the MP3 tracks. I know there's a way to do it, I just haven't figured it out yet, and the manuals aren't in English/I've thrown them away... Read review

Advantages: Good Functions
Disadvantages: Size

...Aiwa are dedicated to maiing high quality audio equipment. I have been very happy with the equipment prodeuced by Aiwa, as the company have a good reputation. The aiwa minidisc, does seem to be fairly chunky. This makes it not as portable as it could be, when comparing it to sony's. They do have all the usual functions, such as track editing etc. This fact that this minidisc player is chunky, is probably becuase it was one of their first models. So if you wait a little while i'm sure that newer models wiill become slimmer and more practical. But overall this is a basic, and high quality player.... Read review
