 Do you have a large analog music collection? July 11, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I've always loved music, particularly portable music, be it 45s, 8 tracks, cassettes, cds, and our modern offerings. I recall when cassettes became so easy to create, we thought we had reached the promised land. Then the cd format stepped in and changed the world. Digital files and home computers opened some fantastic doors, while closing some others. I have an extensive collection of analog sourced music, and have fought the battle of converting it to digital for years. Until the purchase of this unit, I have been dissatisfied with the results. I have converted analog to wav or mp3 with mixed results, mostly with less that acceptable quality to both my ipod and MD. In respects to the MD, most of the problems seem related to the software Sony has provided us with. However, Sony has also presented us with a solution in respects to this unit. If you would like to take the computer out of the equation and simply record in a format superior to cassette, this is it. If you have the old skills of cueing music on a turntable, or other analog source, salvation is at hand. This device fits into your old component system via RCA cords, or by an optical cable (digital). Also, the basic understanding of making a cassette applies directly to the operation of this device. You have to realize that you won't be improving the sound quality of your analog recording, but you will be able to replicate it and carry it with you much easier than ever before. MD is a fantastic format for those of us who came from a different time and like to have the ability to physically change what is in the player, as opposed to sifting through the flash or hard drive of a portable player. For those of us with a portable MD player/recorder, and a home system, this should be a welcome addition to your audio toolbox.

 Not Compatible with Singapore Voltage and frequency March 31, 2007
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
I purchased this item with understanding that the voltage and frequency meets Singapore requirement of 230V AC 50Hz.
Since it was not mentioned in the specification 120Volt 60Hz, I bought an adapter which converts 230V to 110V. Still the frequency remain unchanged. I contacted Sony, Malaysia where the product was manufactured. They didn't confirm whether the item is compatible for 50Hz and 60Hz.
Even though the power consumption is 14W, still the frequency 60Hz may produce lot of heat and my shorten the life span.
Hence, verify Voltage and frequency before buying the product.
Actually the product is very good, since Amezon did not specify the above mentioned requirement, I felt upset.
Works like a champ March 7, 2007

All electronics should work this easily. You hook it up, read the manual, play with it alittle bit and it works like a charm. I've been using two (home desk and car player) for 5 years now. They just seem to last forever.
SONY Mini Disc January 17, 2007
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
The Mini Disc format lost out to inferior CDs, just because CDs came first. MD is a far superior format to any other consumer format available today. It's has editing capabilities that can't be performed with any other format. Such as, cut and paste, change volume level for any portion of a track/disc, full text entering and displaying. You can even make very good medleys with this system, by cutting and pasting bits of songs together. The disc itself is very, very durable compared to the CD format, The sound quality is as good as CDs. This format deserves to be number one choice of music lovers. Sorry, SONY.
