I could never understand why all the people I knew I had 3 or 4 ipods (most of them broken) but my ipod had stayed alive for the past 3 or 4 years.Then my ipod broke.I was crushed!!!
It was then I rediscovered this little gem - ahhh my old minidisc player!Massively underrated, much beloved.
I bought this model about 7 or 8 years ago.I realize, it's "obsolete" - but it's got so much going for it.My biggest agony with the ipod breaking is that due to the amount of music I have purchased, I'm stuck buying another ipod forever - or burning dozens of cds and then ripping them all back into my computer.Or alternatively, I can take a minijack to minijack and plug it into any computer or audio source and grab what I want.How easy is that?
It may seem pretty far out but studies have proven that too much choice can make people unwell, anxious - sick!I'm a cronic shuffler.With my ipod I catch myself constantly shuffling my entire collection - skipping 95% of my music.With 4000+ songs, what the heck should I listen to? Too much choice!!! Too much choice!! I can't handle it!Music is supposed to be nice!!!
All resolved with the minidisc!Due to space limitations I had only my actual favorites on the discs, and every disc was "made with love" - not some playlist thrown together in five seconds on iTunes.
Other perks?the battery lasts a million years unlike with my dead ipod.And the fact that it accepts regular batteries is unbelievably handy for traveling, too.
I just really, really wanted to sing the praises of this little machine.Let the kids give Apple all their money.I'll be the square on the train fumbling with a collection of discs.

I've had this model (Sony MZ-R700) for over 2 years now.I love it so much and HIGHLY recommend it.
The audio quality is excellent -- I record in LP2 mode most often and cannot tell the difference in quality between that and Sp mode.
The size of the walkman is perfect -- small, portable, and easy to reach into your pocket and fiddle with.
Operating the recorder is very easy -- especially when you use the SYNC RECORD method (hooked up to a digital output).I've even recorded from VHS tapes and my old turntable (LP's) onto minidisc and the quality is amazing.
The only thing I can complain about is the TMARK system of placing "markers" on the disc.The process of combining or removing markers is a bit convoluted -- it took me a while to master it.It is possible to do some basic "editing" with markers, but be ready for a learning curve.
The other complaint is that, much like Apple users, you will be one of the few (but lucky) owners of a minidisc player/recorder.If sharing music is important, then think about your minidisc purchase.If you like, for instance, to make mix-discs for your friends, then think about how many of your friends have a minidisc player.If you are simply looking for an excellent, portable way to listen to music, then MD is the way to go!!
Also, using the PC connect is a great tool -- I've transferred MP3's from my computer to minidisc effortlessly.With my Dell laptop I had to change a few audio settings to get the tracks to output correctly to the MD player.That's more of a laptop problem than a Sony MD problem, though.
So .... if you are on the fence about MD player/recorders, DON'T BE.This model is great.
Rating:  - Short term love affair......
I bought this about one year ago (2001, Dec.).I loved it. It was light, and also very easy to operate. However, it broke right after the warranty (2002,Dec.). I had no idea why it broke....I didn't drop it...didn't abuse it.... it just died.
So disappointed.
