Issues I have encountered with some of this model's specifications:

When I saw this model out in the electronic stores it was selling for about $350! I was so disappointed about the price and had to wait til the price went down. When it finally went down $50 I bought it. When I recorded some mp3s and songs from my CDs it...

Pros: Attractive design, lightweight, convenient
Cons: Hard to label songs

I bought the MZ-R55 on a family trip to Taiwan. It only costed about $240 american dollars there, so I figured it was a good deal compared to the retail cost here. I didn't own a CD player, and my friends told me how convenient they were, so I...

Pros: compact, cool design
Cons: small buttons, battery life could be better.

I picked this one among other minidisc portables initially for looks. Well at time I bought it, it was the snazziest one out there. But it's been pretty reliable, and I've been using it daily. I’ve even dropped it a few times with no damage noted.
...

Pros: Quality, ease of use.
