Pros convenience, price, features, appearance
Cons prone to need repairs
Recommended it? Yes

Hello there, everyone. I purchased the Sony MDS-JB920 about 3 months ago after reviewing some of the benefits of minidiscs on the internet. For a long time, I haven't been very satisfied with the sound of cassettes after going digital with CD over a decade ago. Until recently, I was stuck with... Read full review »

Pros sound, comfort, looks, reliability
Cons stalls when interfacing to complicated functions
Recommended it? No

Although Sony deserves praise for many of their high quality products, ranging from TV's to stereos to CD players, I must find fault with this particular device. My qualms with this machine are opposed to the rave reviews that many of my fellow epinioners have posted. This review offers to the... Read full review »

Pros Open, airy sound, unlimited versatility
Cons Market life unsure due to competing formats
Recommended it? Yes

The beauty of minidisc (MD)is that it is a digital recordable format. CD-R offers recordable CDs, CD-RW offers re-recordable CDs, but for outright convenience, they cannot touch MD.
As well as being more compact, it is the editing facilities on MD that are a real boon to users.

Pros Great sound
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

What I love about it the most is, the CD part is protected from scratches in it's own little case, unlike a regular CD.
Next; the compact size, and the ease of recording. Just like recording a cassette, couldn't be simpler!I purchased the Sony MDS-JB920 about 3 months ago after reviewing some... Read full review »

Pros Sound Quality, Digital Ins/Outs/record level, Time/Date Stamp
Cons Occasionally irritable loading mechanism
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the JB-920 solely for interfacing with a computer. I edit audio on a computer for radio stations and schools in the area. I can hook up the 920 to a computer using a PCLK link kit. Just plug one end into a serial port (mouse port) other into the deck, and install SONY's program, and you're... Read full review »
