Summary: this is a great machine
Review: This mini disc recorder/player has great sound and is EXTREMELY easy to use not to many buttons for confusion, but enough to do what you need to. Has long playback with added power if needed.Its compact and is very stylish. i love the swoop earphones. The main body is back lit as well as the buttons,(great fro traveling when not very light)and the large screen remote is too. The remote is great and does everything. You can name each song and disk w/ up to 50 letters. I highly recomend this system!

Summary: Attractive Player / Recorder with Great Functionality
Review: This product is well worth the costs. In just a few days I was able to compile a 10 minidisc set of all my favorite songs. This recorder is easy to master and gets good playback off the included rechargeable battery. On long trips where I am stationary I use the extended battery attachment. I have just three complaints: the headphones are attractive but useless, I doesn't allow you to name tracks while recording, and it would be helpful if I could view the title of a minidisc by popping it into the player - instead of waiting for it to initialize and THEN pressing several buttons. Still, I would recommend this product 100%. It's well worth the money, especially if you are a music enthusiast. I have yet to use it's live recording capabilities, so I consider that and EXTRA.

Summary: very good sound quality
Review: This recorder/player is very easy to operate by both player and remote, however the battery attachment is rather cumbersum when attached. It would great if it included an AM/FM radio.

Summary: Short term satisfaction
Review: When I first purchased this mini disc player i was reallypleased with its sound quality. The only things that dissapointed mewere the lack of high volume, the remote and the fact that the headphones broke within the first day. I was still happy though, and was for a month. But one day i took the player out of my bag and pressed play. Instead of hearing high quality recordings i heard nothing and my mini disc player flashed me a caution message. The 'customer help' guys at aiwa told me to do things to the player that didn't help it at all and they finally gave me an address to ship it to. Luckly I didn't have to pay for anything except for shipping but it was still a major pain to not have the player for a good 2 months. Aiwa products have been known to break after short periods of time. Try Sony for a more reliable product END
