I bought this product years ago as my default portable music player/recorder and later on I starter using it for music (guitar) and field recordings of wildlife, as well as lectures and voice recordings

Its better than a lot of portable cd players out there

I only gave it 4 stars because any Sony portable MD players are the best and can't get any

The half-sized ice cream sandwich form kicks the CD portable players to the curb.

You know I originally bought the Sharp Minidisc Player with the voquette package.

You cannot get any better sound resolution than this; any decent DVD player has an optical out; decent CD players too.

Other than that, it's a great player
