Sony introduced the MiniDisc format to the U.S. in 1992 - it was not a big success, even though Minidisc was highly successful in Asia and, to a lesser extent, in Europe

Improvements to the compression encoding known as ATRAC have made the minidisc a more than capable replacement for the cassette tape, with faster and easier access to song selections, editing capabilities that are computer like, and quality sound (particularly when recorded using the optical input)

This little MD player is one of the greatest audio investments I've ever made

I recently purchased this Mini Disc player around Christmas, I'd heard lots of good things about the portability and recording ease of one, and felt it would make a worthy investment

It works as advertised for the most part

The bass works very well, and doesn't seem to drain as much battery power as the feature seems to do on most portable CD players

I've found it well worth the time of recording to MD, just for the portability of it

You can track your tunes out just like with an AudioCD, putting about 20 tracks on one disc

The lower compression recordings don't sound great, but it's better than sitting on that bus listening to some freak yelling obscenities

Once these small issues are figured out, this is a fantastic little gadget

The item does not come in a box but in a plastic bag;It does not come with a receipt of puchase wich is important in order to use the warranty, thei did not give me any paper confirming my purchase;There is no possibility of returning this item even though the box stiill sealed.
