Sony Walkman MZ-R37SP Personal MiniDisc Player

Pros: (Re)recordable, excellent sound quality, durability, good editing features, small/compact
Cons: No software/PC support, a bit complicated, small display screen

I received the Sony MZ-R37SP mini-disc player as a gift and have used it for both a personal walkman/audio player and a digital device for enhancing the quality of sound from an analog source. Below are my impressions: Recordable (and re-recordable). ...

Pros: Portable, Durable Medium, Compatible with Sony Remote, doubles as AA battery charger.
Cons: No included AC adapter, Semi-difficult to download "Internet music" to MD's.

In a world of copycats, one must stand away from the crowd and dare to be different. This is what Mini-disks do. They stand away from CD's.

This is a very nice audio player, considering that it is a Mini-disk player. This player is a bit...

Pros: sound quality, plenty of features
Cons: remote is poor quality - sticks too much. no belt clip.

I'm not sure whether it's just bad luck, or whether this thing is a piece of junk, but it has broken 3 times in the 2 years that i have owned it. if i hadn't bought an extended warrenty from best buy, i'd have something else by now. what really angered...

Pros: Reliable operation, full input/outputs
Cons: Dust gets into LCD panel, Track seeking is noisy

Purchased: November, 2000
Review date: April 2nd, 2002

I've been using my trusty MZ-R37 for one and a
half years now, and I wish to comment on the great
design.

First, the flaws that might bother you. The
...

Pros: Great features, durable, fun and easy to use
Cons: Short battery life, slow recording time

When I decided that I needed a way to take my mp3's with me when I was away from the computer, I began looking into some devices to do this. Immediately, I was attracted to mp3 players because they seemed the best way to get mp3s from the PC to a...

Pros: Small, recordable, very nifty looking, can name tracks and disc.
Cons: max volume too low, porting music is slow. USB is pointless

First, I've found that the best way to make a MiniDisc from music on your computer is to burn a CD disc with music and let your CD player transfer the music. It works really well (no sound artifcats from your computer) and you have CD backups to your...

Pros: Sleek, light, amazing battery life, quality sound reproduction, ultraportable.
Cons: A few gremlins away from a usability nightmare when recording.

I’ll admit it; I’m attached to my music. It holds sway over my moods-and on those early-morning jaunts across campus to a class I’m not thrilled about, a good swig of music is just as effective as the classic American morning dose of caffeine.
...

Pros: Very inexpensive compared to other minidisk players made by Sony.
Cons: Buttons are kinda small therefore are hard to press.

I got a Sony MZ-R37 for Christmas last year and I love it. The R37 comes ready to play minidisks right out of the packaging as long as you have 2 AA batteries. The R37 is easy to understand too, I didn't have to sit and read the instructions forever to...

Pros: Size, weight, options.
Cons: Small display and too much button-pressing when programming

The MD-system is probably the best system for portable enjoyment of music. The quality of the little disc is outstanding and the possibilities are numerous.
The MZ-R37 is the cheapest in the Sony-line of portable MD-players, but it doesn't trail far...

Pros: High sampling rate, portable, conventient size, optical jack, separate mic/line-in jacks, auto-detecting jacks
Cons: Battery consumption when recording!, records in real-time

Get this: $129 bucks! I found this product at www.ubid.com, a very nice priced online auction. The company auctions the items off, not "users", so everything is faster, and definetly more reliable. I know that most of the people that bought it paid about...

Pros: Small, Good Sound Quality
Cons: Expensive, Fragile

I purchased the MZ-R37 right around the time the first MP3 player came out. Seeing as to how little you can fit on an MP3 player, I decided to go with Minidisc. Big mistake. It was fun while it lasted, but this craze is just overwith. With the...

Pros: slim design, 40 sec anti-skip, sound quality, many features
Cons: no backlit display, no display and no clip on remote

I wanted to get a MD player/recorder because I want a listening device that combines the functionality of a CD player and the "recordability" of a tape player. What I meant is that I want the skip, repeat, shuffle, etc. functions and also to be able to...

Pros: Efficient Worth the money
Cons: Many nit-picky details

I spent a long portion of my summer saving up for this little contraption, and I'm not dissapointed. It is worth every penny, and I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to experience buying online for the first time.

The Story:
...

Pros: Good sound; compact; simple
Cons: none

The MZ-R37 is the only minidisc player that I have had experience with, but I am definitely more than satisfied. It has the same functions as more expensive models, but costs much less. The only real difference is the size.

The sound quality...

Pros: perfect
Cons: none

This is probaly the best minidisc player of Sony. Not only because the price is low, it does everything. You can record from CD players portable or stereos, internet,cassette player,any thing with a headphone jack.You just got to get a double sided...
