Two years ago my dad went to Japan on business and knowing that electronics there are so much cheaper I asked him to buy me a minidisc player. In the weeks before he went I was searching the Internet for information about minidiscs, trying to decide which one I should get. The site I found most helpful on my search was minidisc.org From that site I decided on the Sony MZ R900 or the Sharp MD MT77. They both were rival products, with the sharp coming with a charging stand but the Sony unit with a longer battery life and supposedly better sound quality. My dad went to Japan and bought me the Sony MZ R900. He bought it instead of the Sharp MT77 because it was on sale! £150 .  Read the complete review

Having considered the similarly priced Sony model with radio included I was dissappointed to discover that the radio was contained completely in the headphone remote and the only reason for connection to the minidisc unit was for battery. Therefore I decided to go fo the purely minidisc model and hopefully achieve better sound quality. This is by far the best sounding minidisc player I have ever owned. I have previously held models by Aiwa and Sony. The sound quality is excellent whether through a stereo amp or headphones. The problem with this particular model is that the headphones included in the original package do not do the machine justice. They ...  Read the complete review

This little devil or a unit was first bought to my attention at a local dixons store in the south west UK. I have always wanted one and the salesman told me it was 'the best one around' so I purchased it. Since then I have enjoyed not only the walks to university every morning but also the added function of being able to copy songs I have downloaded from the Internet. Not many will know that a simple PC and headphone socket can provide a simple solution to the costly MP3 players on the market with their exspensive memory cards! The added funtion of MDLP has enabled me to enjoy hours ok music on a single disk, although the quality is lowered with this I have it ...  Read the complete review
