Summary: Great player/recorder
Review: This is an excelent little machine. I bought mine from a friend... with 20 disks, and it's worth every penny. This little rig is small, light weight, and has excelent sound and battery life.
To start, it's small. It's about the size of the palm of your hand, with a bump on the back where the batery goes. it fits in ANY pocket, unlike most CD players. it weighs very little, so it doesnt bother you by pulling on your cloths like some CD players.
The sound is great. The only problem is that it has a low record volume, and gets fuzzy when you turn it up too much. If you have the mega bass on while you recond on high, it gets fuzzy also. At low and medium volumes though, it's got crystal clear sound (that also depends on your headphones, and what kind of music... rock is less fuzzy than Rap) I like my music LOUD. I ride a bus one way to or from school, and that gets awfull loud. I have several "buss disks" that are recorded on high volumes, and they work fine when you are being bombarded by background noise, but are a little fuzzy when you run it through a car kit or stereo. This machine has over all good sound though, and with a little fine tuning of bass and volume you get great sound.
Battery life... what can i say, it lasts. Even on regular duracells, i can get almost a whole school week on and off, and the provided rechargable battery last even longer.
Besides the sound glitches here and there, it also makes some noise. When skipping tracks, rewinding a few seconds etc. it has to think for a couple of seconds. It's not a major problem, but it is somewhat slow here and there. It will skip too. If it is riding in your pocket where it can bounce, it'll skip. Not as much as a 40 sec asp cd player though. it'll freeze for a second, then you will stop, wondering what went wrong, then it goes again. not a mojor problem, but if you jog or run, i suggest you upgrade to an MD with the same G-protection of a CD player.

For the money... it's a great buy for people who want small portable music, that can come from anywhere, (even MD to MD.)Hope this helped

Summary: GREAT FOR SIZE AND PRICE
Review: This is perfect for people who cant seem to figure out a cd burner, or who are just still stuck in the past with tapes. Its easiest when you just link the mini disc player to the head phone jack and play the music and flick the record switch on the mini disc player. although some might think that the fact that it records in real time is a draw back, i think it just adds to the simplisity of it. its a great buy not only because its simple, but if you're a computer person it can be linked with ease to the computer and you can rip all your favorite mp3's onto a couple mini discs. and for the people out there who think that they'll just stick with their cd players, it might intrest you to know that most cd's you buy are only about half filled, you can pretty much fit two cd's on one 80 minute mini disc, its a great ease and conveiance.

Summary: Great Sound Quality, looks, and price!
Review: This mini-disc player has to be one of the best on the market today. (if not the best)It is easy to use, small in size, and much more practical than a CD burner (it's like a portable burner/player)

Positives:

#GREAT sound quality (like CD)

#easy to set up, only takes about 5 minutes

#it makes recording simple, without the need of a HUGE system attached to your home stereo

#PC USB connected

#software is already on your Windows computer

#looks cool, and is very light and rugged

#regular AA battery last 17 hours!

Negatives (there aren't very many)

#long recording time (but it goes by faster than you'd expect)

#Inserting title takes a few seconds

# included rechargeable battery last only 6 hours

Overall I give it a 5 because it was well worth the money and is better than a CD burner, MP3 player, and definitly better than a tape player!

Summary: This product is the best thing ever made!
Review: This MZR70 is great! I record all of my favorite songs for free! but I have to say that the usb cable is pointless, the patch cord you can just donload from the speaker jack on your computer. It is a great product. I give this 5 stars because if your looking for a GOOD minidisc player, this is the one to get, it never skips, but one bad thing is the volume, its not very good at all

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good now but becoming dated
Review: This was a great player when i bought it but now it is just dated, you have to record in real time and it can't be used with the OpenMG program. Plus, they have no information on the MZ-R70 on sony's website and customer support has no clue what your talking about.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: More Of The Same.
Review: To be honest i don't think minidisc players have got much better since they were first brought out. I mean they may have got longer lasting batteries but that is hardly that amazing. I have got a Sony MZR55 and i see all these new portable MD players and they hardy have any new features. I only gave it 4 stars because any Sony portable MD players are the best and can't get any better so why made any new ones.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: PC LINK?
Review: You know I originally bought the Sharp Minidisc Player with the voquette package. The one that is supposed to let you record MP3's. Well it lets you do that but it leads you to believe that it speaks to the MD recorder. It doesnt. You can record MP3's by using any audio player on your computer and then plugging in a cable from you PC line out to you MD Rec. The Voquette is a waste. You can get a cable for $3 and the software is free. You can use napster or windows comes with one usually. I am purchasing the Sony Model MZR70 now without the PC link. Because I think the PC link is probably just like the Voquette. Voquette made me think I could type in the song titles and have them show up in the MD but it doesnt. If anyone knows anything otherwise please let me know. Scott
