Customer Review: The Value Leader
Summary: 5 Stars

First of all it is cheap. You can purchase one for under $75.00 at most places, even pawnshops have it for around $50.00. If you drop it as I have many times, it usually just bounces and still runs, and if it quits, you can once again purchase another for dirt cheap, rather than risk trashing out a $300.00 machine by daily use.

Second, it has a lot more user-settable features than meets the casual eye. You can set preset equalizer positions the way you like your music, rather than what the factory thinks you may like.

I have no complaints about cheap button feel, they work fine and dandy to me. Although this unit comes with no remote, that means one less thing to either lose or trash. It has no provisions for an AC adaptor power, but with a quality NiMh rechargeable battery of at least 1600 mAh, you can get several days of play and several discs of recording done.

The software is buggy and funky and has a long learning curve to it, but once learnt, it is fairly easy to use. The quick burn feature is super fast, and directly burns from CD to minidisc without the hassle of transferring the music first to yout computer hard drive. It's disadvantage is that you cannot use it to burn in Standard Play mode.

The Sonic Stage software is fairly straightforward, although it keeps track of how many times you transfer a song and limits you to only three transfers for each song. You "check in" and "check out" music like you are borrowing from Sony's personal library! Leave it to Sony to attempt to preserve their music empire! Leave it to me to devise a way to get around that little annoyance! A major thing I dont like about the Sonic Stage software is that you cannot directly burn from CD to Minidisc as you can with the quick launch program. the Sonic Stage automatically creates an album file on the "music drive" of your hard drive no matter what you do. Just delete it afterwards, and that fixes prob. Re Record to "music drive" to restore, and also restore the count and how many times you can "check out" a song:) One advantage of the Sonic Stage software over the Real Player software is that Sony will not clog your emails with spam like Real.com does, also the Sonic Stage does not go "obsolete" every six months like the Real Player does, demanding you to buy the "improved" version:)

As for the quantity of data that can be put on one minidisc, it is incredible. I recently transferred all seven of the early Moody Blues albums on one 80 minute minidisc, with room left over!

The machine fits in your shirt pocket, you can sit on it and it still works. It is miserly with battery power and you dont have to have a custom battery. Dollar for dollar it will spoil you, and it will wean you from the plethora of mp3 players out there.
