- Seller is a thief-EEK technology
- I bought this Minidisk player and it didn't work. I returned it to the seller, EEK technology and sent me a replacement. The second was also defective. I got their ok to return this and I still haven't a replacement player. I have wrote to them and they have blown me off. DO NOT BUY FROM EEK Technology. They are theives!!!!!!!!!!!!

- I'm glad that Amazon describes this unit as a "Player"
- Unlike earlier Sony Minidisc portables,this unit can't record directly from a CD player.It can only record via a computer and with a computer initiating the recording process.Fortunately,I have a hifi component Minidisc recorder to record on.More troubling is that the first unit I got of this model failed immediately.It powered up,but could never start playing a disc,and the unit made mechanical noise as it struggled to spin the disc.I opted to send the unit back to Sony instead of the Amazon marketplace merchant.Don't repeat my mistake.Sony exchanges for a reconditioned(not new) unit,though I never got one second of playback out of the original unit.Sony's recoditioned unit plays fine,but the piece of computer CD-Rom software supplied has a few scratches(I don't know if there will ever be occasion for me to use it since I'm not presently a computer owner.My internet access is via MSNTV2 on my T.V.).It would seem that the phasing out of Minidisc portables that can copy directly from a CD player is a music industry power play to get more control over how,or if music can be copied onto Minidisc.I bought this unit only because I have a substantial existing collection of homemade Minidiscs.For newcomers,I would say,buy a portable CD player and forget Minidisc.

- good product but a few questions need to be aksed......
- good sony minidisc player,
but a few things need to be asked.. you need to hook this machine up to a computer ..I have onwed a sony minidisc in the past..and the computer thing is fine no problems about that,
but when I try to play my older minidiscs on the computer they wont play..
I figured out the answer.. the older discs are "analog' and the new recorded discs are "digital' and thats fine but I have a standard minidisc player for my stereo and when I try to play a disc in from the computer.. again.. no playback... the stereo machine reads.. " no music"
my question is for sony....
why couldnt sony think of a way to make everything work together and configure right ?? perhaps make software that can configure older discs to the new digital format ??
I now have discs that play on the computer and then I have discs that play from the older minidisc player.. oh well.this is the only thing that bothers me about sony...
but still a good minidisc player for its price..it has speeds now that you can add alot more music on the discs as well I got a total of 48 songs on one alone..its a great space saver with all that music on one disc you dont need to carry around a ton of discs..I also own an "ipod" but still love my minidiscs too.
the software for sony is now "3.4" if you have not updated your software just go to sony.com ..or sony connect. it is better for the system and your computer. enjoy.. - 2006-02-05, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great Gadget
- I was given this as a gift and especially since it was given to me, I love this thing. It's the poor man's ipod, who wants to spend $200+ when they could get this for like $60-80. It holds up to 50- *almost* 80 songs per disk I believe (each of my disks have a different amount-depending on the length of the songs),is skip proof, sound is great, and it's easy to transfer music onto. I find no fault with it. I've had it for over a year and it's held up beautifully, even with being dropped. So personally I think it's a great gadget to have if you can't afford or don't want to splurge on the oh so hyped ipod.
