A Great MD Player

Advantages: Size and looks; battery life.
Disadvantages: Sound quality; price.

...Size and Looks The MZ-R700 looks about the same as any other MD player on the market. Slightly larger than a Mini Disc, the player is smaller and more convenient than any CD player will ever be. It is made of titanium which provides a solid silver sheen making the player look very slick and high-tech. The LCD display is located on the front of the player at the top. Below it to the right is a jog dial which controls the tracks. All of the buttons are coated in titanium contributing to the silver sheen of the player. This player is one of the better looking players on the MD market, and surpasses nearly any CD player with its sleek look. Batteries Probably the most amazing thing about this player is the battery life. It only uses 1 AA battery, but on that small amount of power, it can last for nearly 50 hours when playing on LP4...

Review of Sony MiniDisc recorder

Possibly the best MD player

Advantages: Light-weight, compact, durable and easy to use with up to 16 hours continuous playback.
Disadvantages: Still expensive, but dropping in price.

...I purchased a sharp MD-MT821H portable minidisk recorder about months ago, and I think its the best thing since sliced bread. I use it all the time, I don't even play CD's now let alone cassettes. It offers 24bit ATRAC recording, with the option of digital/optical recording from compatible sources. Its compact, and comes with a 'remote control' in between the player and the ear phones, allowing you to control the player with out getting it out of your pocket while you are on the move. It has the capability for upto 16 hours continuous playback too. I bought it for £220 back then but I have seen it in shops for £180 now, if you compare this to a MP3 player, its great value for money. MP3 players are OK, but what is the point in having one when you can record MP3 onto your minidisk recorder? With this MD player you can record...

Review of Sharp MD-MT821H

My first MD player... and it's great!

Advantages: Small, good battery life, good sound quality
Disadvantages: Software isn't that good

...This is my first mini disc player so I didn't really know what to expect, and I didn't really know if it was good compared to others. But I have been really happy and impressed with it. I got it from a Sony shop in Poole a couple of months ago after having a few problems with my MP3 player, and so far I haven't had one problem with this great MD player! It looks great, and the sound quality is brilliant. Using LP2 mode I can fit up to 160mins onto a single mini disc without noticing and difference in quality, and using LP4 you can fit double that again, noticing only a small decrease in quality. The software that comes with it is pretty bad, and maybe the worst program/ piece of software that I have come across in ages. It makes it seem impossible to record a few albums to it, even though it should be really easy. Also, it doesn...

Review of Sony MiniDisc recorder

What a great md player!

Advantages: Very good sound quality, relatively inexpensive
Disadvantages: finish

...I bought one of these mini disc players about 3 years ago now! at the time it cost me £99.99, which i thought was a reasonable price, seeing as other MD players were anything up to £250! The reason why this MD player is cheaper than others is because it is only an MD player, it will not record mini discs, you must do that first on a seperate machine, before playing them on this. This was not a Problem for me because i already had a stereo unit that had MD recording capabilities. This MD player looks very stylish, its very small and lightweight compared to and average CD player. The colour on it is great too! I got it in blue but i believe that silver is available as well. Attention to detail is what Sony seem to have concentrated on with htis player, the nicest thing is that it has gold plated connectors for better conductivity...

Review of MD Formulations Facial Cleanser

I love my MD player

Advantages: Great sound quality
Disadvantages: Battery life is a bit limited

...Looks This is an attactive MD. It has the screen at a jaunty 45 degree angle, which I find pleasing, and the buttons are all easy to use. It comes with a remote control, which is also useful, and has it's own screen, so you can still see the track titles etc when the main player is in a case. Cost I was given this MD as a present a year ago, but I believe they are currently about £60. I think this is great value for money, as you get a good range of features. Software and Recording This MD comes with software (PC and MAC compatible) to put downloads onto mini discs, which is especially helpful, and can also be used as a medium to play music on your computer. I find the software itself easy to use when I am recording and transfering things. You can use it to record from CDs as well as from downloads, and it is pretty quick. It...

Review of Sony MiniDisc recorder

One of the Smallest MD Players in the World

Advantages: Tiny, huge battery life, great sound.
Disadvantages: Only a player...

...I bought the MZ-E909 about a year ago now from Richer Sounds for the bargain price of just £120 - I believe its still at this price a year on but its still well worth it as MD technology has progressed little. The player itself is one of the smallest and lightest in the world, and it really shows. Every time I pick it up I'm impressed, as is everyone who sees it. Its magnesium alloy body is light and attractive, although it does feel a little fragile, I'm always terrified I'll drop it or get it run over but as yet it's survived without any scratches or dents. It has every feature desirable in an MD player, including an LCD stick type remote which means the player need never come out of its little bag unless you need to change the disc; G-Protection shock protection, which is extremely effective - I don't think I've ever had...

Review of MD Formulations Moisture Defense Antioxidant Masque

One of the best MD players

Advantages: Lightweight, excellent battery life, looks great
Disadvantages: the atrac formatting, controls are slightly awkward

...Firstly I will just say this is the best MD player I have ever used and seen. Physical features: This player looks so sleek with that metallic case, it is very beautiful and small. Weighing only 87 grams without the battery this unit really is one of the lightest music players around. The controls are scattered all over the thing, so this isn't the easiest of things to use with one hand; however the design of the controls are very efficient, the single car on the front is used to play/ stop/ skip/ pause. The in line remote makes up for the awkward controls by being small and very functional; all the controls are available on the remote except for the record button, but this is no problem as you would only use the record function with the main unit anyway. The remote is just as sleek as the main unit, but it isn't made from...
