Why would you need an MP3 player if you've got this puppy?!

bywasabipanda Jul 23, 2000
54 Helpfuls 55 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros extremely compact, easy to use, records and rips mp3s, no need for extra memory sticks
Cons no AM/FM
Recommended it? Yes

Looking for a cool mini-disc player? Torn between whether to buy an MD player or an MP3 audio device? Then let the Sony MZ-R70 be your answer. This MD player excels on my list because of it's small, compact size, recording capabilities and the fact that you don't need to buy seperate memory... Read full review »

Big sound in a little package

bypearannoyed Dec 8, 2004
50 Helpfuls 51 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, lightweight, highly portable, ability to record live music, excellent battery life
Cons No drag-n-drop transfer, slightly outdated and only available used
Recommended it? Yes

Music... it's a big part of my life. Not that I really listen to that much music—I'm more into performing it. Singing in a choir or playing my flute in a small ensemble is one of my favorite ways to take a break from real life. It's fun and relaxing. But it can also be frustrating. When you're...

Pros Portable, plays mp3s, has a PC link and it records
Cons None so far
Recommended it? Yes

I have for a long time wanted to get myself an MP3 player or a Mini Disc player. So one fine day it was time for me to buy one. So I went to Circuit City and looked at MP3 players then it dawned on me that Mini Disc Players might be a better choice.

What is the Sony MZ-R70?

Big Sound, Small Player

Pros Light, easy to use, inexpensive
Cons Nothing
Recommended it? Yes

I run four miles every day, rain or shine. After the run I walk back to my house as a sort of cool down. I like to listen to music while I am running, and I like to listen on the long walk back too. My bedroom closet is filled with audio devices that I have purchased over the years that failed to... Read full review »

My folks flat out shocked me when they gave me the Sony MZ-R70 Minidisc player/recorder for my eighteenth birthday. I had no idea what a great device it was; a toy that I never knew I needed!

My parents later explained to me that they were interested in getting me an mp3 player, but a... Read full review »

Undecided.

Pros The way it uses only one AA battery.
Cons Um, no jog-dial, no LCD on the remote.
Recommended it? No

So this is one of the Sony Minidisc that I think falls on the line of a good MD player, and a bad MD player.

I say this because this Minidisc player has some really good features, and also has some bad ones, and all for a low cost.

Lets talk about the features:

Good entry-level minidisc player

bydrewskovitch Aug 9, 2000
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, lightweight, good battery life, doesn't need extra battery case, good value
Cons Short cord on headphones, no M/M stereo jack, bulge on back, real-time recording.
Recommended it? No

It may not have the bells and whistles (it really is just a stripped down model of the R90), but it gets the job done. The recording is good, the sound is good, the battery life is great. I have few and minor complaints about this MD player.

The bulge in the back of the unit for the... Read full review »

It's changed the way I listen to music!

byurbanshock Feb 2, 2002
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great sound; Light weight; Ability to store 5 hours of music on one disc!
Cons Not enough memory on disks to store lengthy titles for all tracks
Recommended it? Yes

I had just gotten into burning my own CD mixes when I purchased a Sony mini-disc player, and I have not burned a CD since! CD's only hold approximately 76 minutes of music. With mini-disc, you can store up to 5 hours of music on one disc! There's a lot you can do with that time. You can create your... Read full review »
