Advantages: Size and sound

Disadvantages: Battery

Another brilliant product from our friends in Japan...I have not bought myself another CD since having purchased this little machine! It has proved to be most useful, especially if you are an active person...no skipping like those portable players and the size is ideal. It has been amazing to be able to rollerblade without a single skip and it has done wonders while riding a motorcycle on back roads.

Technically, the recording power of the minidisc is amazing and crystal clear (comes with an optical fibre for direct recording from CDs). The ear phones are great and the remote control on them is amazing! But, beware of trying to use the cumbersome buttons to write the names of the songs or discs...you'll probably end up not saving them anyway!

There are some problems however, one is the invention of the MP3 player which will erradicate most forms of music as we know it (apart from vinyl)! The other is that you can not use the power source and charge the battery. Whilst on the subject of the NiCad battery...
its life is not the longest and the extra battery pack makes the minidisc heavier and bulkier!

I guess you can't have it all, but this is a great buy and you will have hours of entertainment.
